Relegation for club 42 is, of course, stacked in their favour of a quick return, but as the Shire found out, it's a tough route back. Parachute payments are paid in season 1, then a reduced payment in season 2, then nothing. So you can disagree if you like, but you'd be wrong. I’ll stick by my original statement thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been a while since we played yous but if we are LL next season we do have a decent social club within the ground where you'll be made most welcome. From a selfish point of view it's now potentially my most local game. Few decent beers to be had in Berwick so fingers crossed we stay LL Met quite a few times in pre-season Newky last time at Shielfield April 15th 2014. Kiddo and Wayne Sproule scored in the 2nd half and we won 2-1 in the City Cup Final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crack right on. You haven’t shown me anything where it says it does exist? P.S You seem to be getting a bit tetchy about this, let’s try and keep it civil if you don’t mind. Thank you.

parsforlife Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 You haven’t shown me anything where it says it does exist? You’ve literally been linked to the spfl regulations stating it being paid. What more do you need? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz5 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 All I can see is the prize money list??Did you read the text above that which references parachute payments multiple times, or the separate link to the SPFL articles which Hibbee then added, showing parachute payments in year one of £40k, year two of £20k, and the link he provided to the Berwick chairman talking about parachute payments? Not really sure what other evidence anyone would need TBH. Informer indeed. [emoji39] 157. Pyramid Play-Off Parachute Payments157.1.

Radge Cantal Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Gonna need a new sat nav to find these new grounds .If we don't make drastic changes to the whole club we'll not be in LL long .The current team would certainly toil in this league. EoS beckons. As for competing with Edinburgh based sides forget it ..we need to look to Northumberland to recruit. Base our training in Berwick not Edinburgh. Get the local football teams to connect with BRFC which has for far too long been missing. I'm not expecting 11 Berwick lads in the starting line-up but it's not beyond reality that a team of borders and Northumberland lads could turn out for us . You'll love the pubs in Berwick lads n lasses of the LL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how many you could convince to play LL though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
