Auld Heid Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Joining the East Region in 2019-20. The community clubs amateur team moving into the East Region Juniors, playing out of the local sports centre at Kettlestoun Mains. So a local Derby with the newly founded Bo'ness Utd Juniors (ex Linlithgow Thistle) who are playing out of the Falkirk and District Stadiun (formerly Newton Park).

Highly unlikely - I might though if the Rose don't have a game 14 minutes ago, Sergeant Wilson said: What happens if the East juniors merge with EoSL? Are they a separate club? Yes - completely seperate entities - they are LRCFC and we remain LRFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it looks like the majority of players in those sides will be Lithgy boys,it certainly should be a local derby. Incidentally,if Kettlestoun Mains is the complex at the edge of town with the 3g park,than last time I was there(start of last season) it was being used as their home park by a team from Falkirk. * * Not unreasonable when I think that some teams from Glasgow and EK have the Hamilton Palace parks as their home grounds.

Most Linlithgow Thistle players were from Bo'ness, hence the name change to Boness Utd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes for interesting viewing next season. A few more people make look on the Juniors with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was at the sports centre it had no chance of being used at junior level, what’s changed? Have the ERSJFA relaxed ground rules in desperation for a Linlithgow team?

Hillonearth Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Much like that couple of years when Spartans entered a side into the juniors, I don't quite get who's going to watch and support these sides except perhaps on the very odd occasion the main side don't have a game - seems a bit like turning up to watch a tribute band when the real band has a residency in your town...

Jason King Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I saw Spartans Juniors play once, I think I was the only paying customer who wasnt related to someone on the pitch. Fair play to the guys behind the teams in moving their clubs to a higher level but taking on the name of clubs that have moved onto bigger and better things strikes me as rather backwards looking. Its like Celtic joining a European Superleague and Petershill taking their place in the SPFL and then deciding to call themselves Celtic - everyone knows you arent the real thing, you are Aldi coke. Give yourself your own identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give yourself your own identity. I made the same mistake once as well - to compound my error the time I went they were playing another fairly fan-free side...might actually have been Falkirk Juniors (RIP). I'd be likely to head across at some point when I got a chance to check out a new entrant side called Linlithgow Thistle, whereas Linlithgow Rose Juniors/'B' or whatever they're going out as? Doubt it - once bitten twice shy. Thanks Spartans.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the association between the Rose and the Rose CFC will be but by all accounts the Bo’ness United connection / development/feeder/pathway concept that Linlithgow Thistle appear to have (and playing at Newtown Park) would merit changing the name to come under the banner.
