A12A1 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 First time post so go easy on me! We're still in March with 5 games to go. But, barring maths and bureaucrats, it seems to me that SPFL2 is all but over except for Berwick and Albion scrapping over bottom spot. Berwick have taken 3 points from 6 against the top 2 in the last fortnight. They would have settled for that. Albion still have them both to play and will struggle to match it. And 3 of their points are subject to appeal. And then there's the humdinger B v A on April 27. If I were a betting man I'd have to put my money on Berwick ending the season clinging onto 9th by their fingernails. Wouldn't I? In any event, will the bottom team win the playoff? The LL and HL teams have to win their own leagues and then win a playoff against each other, just to get into the playoff that matters? Sounds like a toughie for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 This is already getting debated in the long running Trapdoor thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Does anybody in Scotland actually call them 'Albion'? There may yet be dancing in the streets of Albion. But yeah, the relevant thread is HERE Edited March 31, 2019 by The Mantis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Does anybody in Scotland actually call them 'Albion'? There may yet be dancing in the streets of Albion. But yeah, the relevant thread is HEREI think they are named after a road behind the ground so they could be "dancing in a street called Albion". Feel free to use this witty line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_the_rover Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 The road behind the ground is named after the team.The name comes from the 2 clubs who merged to form the current team Albion and Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBorderer Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Reminds me of how pissed Leyton Orient fans get when you call their team 'Leyton', they can't stand it and it's hilarious to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical faaackin Leyton Orient as John Sitton would put it. There was a nonleague team called Leyton until quite recently and I think Orient's stadium used to belong to them. Orient were originally from Clapton. Edited April 8, 2019 by LongTimeLurker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
