That being the case there would be no need to relegate Lossie and Fort, the HL could carry on with 18 teams, and the NW Feeder league could comprise the 9 NCL teams + 1 other. Anyway it's all pie in the sky, it'll be years before there's a pyramid below the HL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When climate change properly kicks in there will be less need for midweek games and floodlights, which is the major bar to promotion at the moment. So Full Pyramid for 2060 should be the slogan! Although this winter was so mild, if it wasn't for having to finish the season early to fit in the playoffs we could probably have avoided evening games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, ArabAuslander said: The ideal scenario would be the HL contracting to 16 clubs, and the North Juniors bolting on at tier 6, with there being a Highland, Moray, W. Aberdeenshire league and an Aberdeen City, South Aberdeenshire, Angus, Dundee, Perthshire League. So, for instance, that would create at tier 6: NW League: (Bold Teams Licensed) Lossiemouth (HL) Fort William (HL) Golspie Sutherland (NCL) Nairn St Ninian (North SL) Dufftown (North SL) Invergordon (NCL) Orkney (NCL) - some form of travel expenses would be needed Alness United (NCL) Inverness Athletic (NCL) Tain St Duthus (NCL) With a league below that of the remaining Juniors/NCL. And an Aberdeen/Tayside League: Banks O'Dee (North Superleague) Lochee United (East SL) Broughty Athletic (East SL) Tayport (East SL) Carnoustie Panmure (East SL) Forfar West End (East SL) Kirriemuir Thistle (East SL) Downfield (East SL) Bridge of Don Thistle (North SL) Montrose Roselea (North SL) Culter (North SL) Dundee North End (East Prem) Luncarty (East Prem) East Craigie (East Prem) Hermes (North SL) Dyce Juniors (North SL) Albeit it would need all the stakeholders to agree, and I couldn't imagine Fort William and Lossiemouth agreeing to go down a division. Would Luncarty be in the North League/HL or an EoS/LL team Edited May 2, 2019 by Spyro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scone must be very close to that line, maybe a trick missed allowing Jeanfield into the EoS??? If only someone in power bothered to plan this before half the country jumped ship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only someone in power bothered to plan this before half the country jumped ship Luncarty is basically halved and because the ground is in the north the team's in the Highland Area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I’ve never seen “The Line” before... it’s so pretty I still think it should’ve went on PH and DD postcodes, but “The Line”.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Luncarty's clubhouse is at 56.45474N, the dividing line is 56.4513N! But it could be moved north or south of their ground depending on which side of the line they wanted to be on, without affecting any other clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_&_T Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I wonder if Cove Rangers were founded by fans of Glasgow Rangers. Couldn't find anything to indicate they were, but given their name and colours, and that they were founded in 1922, I think it's not unlikely. I cannot imagine many Aberdeen supporters adopting them as a second team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot imagine many Aberdeen supporters adopting them as a second team. 1922 was a different era. The Dons and Rangers had a good relationship post war ("obsequious" from The Dons point of view might describe it better). All that changed when SAF took over and subsequently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
