FifeSons Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) They’d be as well rebranding the HL/LL as National North and South, since so many of the teams aren’t really in the Highlands. Edited May 23, 2021 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's about another 20000 in bridge of Allan, Bannockburn, dunblane. Which are basically joined on Anyway, similar to everywhere there's a vast amount of of fans And any provincial club lives and dies on how much there owner puts inst johnstone just have to thank god they have the browns whereas Stirling have got nothing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 No it wasn’t done by L2 clubs - the SFA proposed it when it worked to create the Lowland League and the pyramid. L2 clubs weren’t consulted on the details The League 2 clubs voted on it as part of the merger package for the SPFL. It definitely wasn't foisted on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Sorry to see Brechin go down as I have many fond memories of Glebe Park. Most notably the day that Thistle won promotion for the first time - a 1-1 draw meant that Brechin clinched the title at the same time so both sets of supporters celebrated together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitburn Vale Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Looking forward to visiting the Glebe next season and wish them the very best next season except against Vale !! I have them up at the top end of the HL next season,as long as they recruit well. Biggest rivals will of course be Brora and the Broch.... Formartine United,Buckie and Inverurie Loco's are no mugs either . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimto90 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Well we can’t say this ain’t been coming no complaints it is a deserved relegation.Massive changes needed at our club top to bottom be interesting to see who we can recruit for next season. Anyone else think patons managerial career is over before it started, getting a club relegated in your first job can’t look good on the CV....That appointment after beating Albion Rovers was a joke. Those kind of decisions are why yous are where yous are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Been at Kelty and they are nice people, but Brechin is a great wee day out and I'll miss it;, very friendly folk there. Hope they sort themselves out sharp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commiserations, but there's some cracking away days to be had up here. These stories of cracking away days in he Highland League are making me wish we had just lost that play-off.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 It’s certainly better than 0.5 which is wrong and yes it was done by the L2 clubs to try and pull up the trapdoor. Personally I don’t think 9th or 11th in Prem deserve a play off spot and it should be 2 down in each League but I get your point about Regional Leagues. Was all in favour of increasing the promotion/relegation between SPFL2 and LL/HL but the LL is quickly becoming a farce of a league.No relegation yet again from the LL, adding the Old Firm Colts instead of the 100+ clubs below the LL. Then you have a couple of Uni sides and made up teams like Caledonia Braves and the fake BSC Glasgow. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS, can't have relegation when the leagues below didn't have any champions to replace the bottom team this season.

Like SPFL 2 the LL should be opening their relegation and some of the clubs you mention will drop down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peternapper Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thought at the time they won the League 1 play-off they were one of the worst teams in that league, as some have already said they seemed to accept they were out of their depth in the Championship & decided not to invest in staying up and so started a miserable decline to where they are now. The Highland League is fine but has some good teams in it. Not sure how the club is financially but as we have found players in it do not come cheap. Players would need to be offered decent cash to come & accept travel mainly north rather than central belt.Is there still a parachute payment if so it needs to be spent wisely. Those supporters that stick with it could find themselves pleasantly surprized visiting new grounds to them & playing clubs twice ..A bit disappointed that Brechin tried to avoid their fate by playing but they need to sort things out and start again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 If, as a few posters have already said Brechin will find it harder to recruit central belt players it looks like a raid on Tayside Juniors is on the cards... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brora, now undoubtedly seething at seeing Brechin top of the league from the first second of the season. It's already all our's to lose. The Broch are 'Fr' of course, a whole 8 places behind their southern overlords. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
