The Brechin City Thread

[gm_1982]

I don’t even know what to say anymore.

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

Surely the HL is a far more winnable league for Brechin than the LL at the moment, especially with Banks of Dee being at least a year away from joining?

[Melanius Mullarkay]

fair play to Brechin for keeping the bantz going.

[MonTheHedge]

As a fan that’s fucking embarrassing. 

[geo87]

f**k me

Get doon you absolute cretins.

[Aidan]

Hahahahahaha. Keith isn't that bad an away day I'm sure.

[nofixedability]

So Tom English was right all along and Brechin really are the bad guys of Scottish football. I mean it is some going to be less popular that the OF colts...

Are you denying it Mr Mackie?

[RossBFaeDundee]

Such blatant bribery is terrible, we all know only the Old Firm get away with violating the sanctity of Scottish football.

[Spyro]

 

They don’t make it easy for themselves

[Hedgecutter]

Absolutely pathetic.

Say Brechin managed to get 200 home fans at a tenner a head, that's a fortnightly income of £2000.  So if you knock off half of that just for the novelty of playing somewhere else, you're left with a grand to cover wages and expenses for the two games, travel to Dalbeattie/Berwick/Galashiels etc, hire of a training facility and so on.  Even with a bit of sponsorship and some earnings from hospitality, how is it possible to run at anything other than a loss?    

Wasting limited time pursuing things which were always going to be an utterly embarrassing dead-end avenue is simply going to leave us in a situation where we're still faffing around a few weeks before the new season, still not sure what to do / where  to train as we struggle to assemble a squad after every available semi-competent player has been signed up elsewhere.  Finding a competent manager to sign such players in the first place would be a welcome priority.

Brechin were always going to be the scalp everyone wanted in the HL next season by now telling the clubs they don't want to even play in their league they've made themselves an even bigger target. 

The "we sign players from the central belt" policy has clearly failed so why on earth arent they already looking at picking up the cream of the HL and the former Dundee and Aberdeen junior leagues to put together a local squad?

Instead of planning for the future, which they should have been doing months ago, they appear to be pissing about in an attempt to be put into a  tougher league whilst forgetting the actual on-field product, its all a bit Mayor of Amity at the moment.

Oh, Brechin.

[Jimmy Shaker]

You daft c***s are going to get some reception when you show up for games in the Highland League, a league you’re now going to be stuck in forever.

Uses to be a nice club, Brechin. This is a shambles. 

[Citytillidie]

Don’t even know what to say anymore, absolute shambles fair play to our board for keeping up the banter and making us the most hated club in Scotland

[LoonsYouthTeam]

I get that it might appear easier to entice players in the Lowland League, but I can't see Brechin's rationale here. The Lowland League, without even getting into teams in Tier 6, will be tougher than the Highland League. Any goodwill and credibility is gone now, really feel sorry for the Brechin fans.

[Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach]

It's morally acceptable to hope Brechin get liquidated.

[I Zingari]

The pyramid system was brought in prematurely, without being properly thought out. It's unfair that Brechin are being forced to play in the Highland League. I have no problem with them attempting to switch to the Lowland League.
