Will they be able to bring in their barrows of cash to buy one? P.S. I'm suggesting they're already bleeding expensive at Hampden! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the difference in prize money is, but we still have something to play for other than which way the helicopter goes. Always good to go into the player awards after the game on a high, so here's hoping we can get a result, and let the other teams worry about who's crowned champion at 4.45. £5k. Cups/TV etc all additional. What these tables demonstrate is the gulf now between the top and bottom. It's virtually imposiible for a part-time club to sustain themselves above League 1. To put that in persepctive, the bottom team in the EPL last season coined £95m, including TV rights. Top teams close to £150m Edited May 1, 2019 by Bring Your Own Socks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick1867 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I was hoping Peterhead would have this wrapped up ages ago as our results up there over the years have largely been pish. The trip up on the supporters bus is a good laugh, and there are worse places than Stonehaven to stop for a few pints...it's just the game that usually spoils things. So if they don't do it on Saturday then I hope they win the play offs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to beat Peterhead but would hate Clyde to win the league. Feel free to short-circuit over this, at any point in the next 48 hours. QP on here have a fairly staunch mob- comfortably 2nd best in L2- but you drop the IQ significantly.

I didn't say they weren't sustainable as a club. I said they wouldn't be able to sustain themselves above League 1. They might last a season but inevitably they'll tumble and often, as happened with Brechin and Cowdenbeath and to a lesser extent Dumbarton the tumble is rough for a couple of seasons. Clyde would fit that category too. The full time teams attract the better players and win more games. Check the percentage shares at 4/5th positions for example between L1/L2 and L1/Championship. The gaps getting bigger. Do you think Raith will stay full time again next season if they don't get promoted? Arbroath coasted L1 this season; it'll be interesting to see how they cope with the higher division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger teams have always had better facilities and can make higher offers to players on a solely footballing contract. If there wasn't any prize money at all then that'd still be the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His leadership and experience would’ve been a huge help, especially in a game as important as this. imo Cammy Eadie is a very capable replacement though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Why is Dunlop suspended? It was two yellows he was sent off for at Elgin and he missed the Stirling game. Unless it is just for accumulating a certain number of yellows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
