The letter I was sent said it wouldn't go ahead if relegated which beggars the question what will happen and yes I'm about to ask the incorporation group that question as would have thought we could still find some investors who would back their local team but concede its a'lot more difficult. What cant happen is to continue the way we are,We never planned for the worst case scenario and low and behold we are not far off it !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dougie Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 There are several rumours doing the rounds that Brechin will consider legal action in the event they are consigned to play offs/relegation, citing Brora have only played 3 games. As I said could be absolute rubbish, but I’ve now heard it from more than 1 person. It may explain Ken’s resignation from the SPFL board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The present Brechin board couldn't consider much to be fair !!! I doubt if they would have finances for such action and would expect them to ask the members, Ken Ferguson resigned due to conflict of interest I believe (which he nearly did last year ) nothing more sinister than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know the Highland League teams are semi professional. Berwick and Shire haven't folded either and are still semi-professional. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that if relegation this season would make it not viable, what happens if it goes ahead and we get relegated next season, or the season after that? Investors will disappear and we will be worse off than we are now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse off than now what non existent !!!! got to get investment into club or we wont exist the constitution based members club is all very nice but we are not competing on a level playing field anymore ,so need to be well run self financing club. you have to admit that the hospitality in recent years(pre Covid) has been poor at the Glebe and doesn't encourage punters back for a good day out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

city_gord Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I counted it up earlier. Including the horrendous Championship season we have indeed won 17 games out of 152. Picked up 62 (SIXTY TWO) points from a possible 456 (FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX)In that time I genuinely reckon I could have picked guys from Facebook who would have won more points. Shambolic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grazza Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Could understand if it was different highland or lowland teams that were declared winners from last season but its not. Better to be proactive to get system so there is more movement in pyramid so if you do go down decent chance to get back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Not really sure why Brechin or any other team 42 if a miracle happens should have an issue about how the playoff teams are picked. Worst case scenario you face the best opponents that are available from the HL or LL. Best case you end up facing a team that is not as good as some of the others in the HL and LL. Plus these teams have hardly kicked a ball all season should be an advantage for T42. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dougie Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I have it on good authority that Kevin Mackie is preparing a “robust” challenge to the decision to crown Kelty and Brora as champions of their respective leagues. This may have some way to run folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may have some way to run folks. He's going to try and challenge how these leagues decide who their own champions are? Aye, good luck with that Kevin mate. Just had a quick look at both the HL and LL rules and regs, and the requirement for both is to simply be top of the table at the end of the season. The HL ended their own season, and the LL put it to a vote, which the clubs voted towards ending the season with Kelty as champions.
