If you hadn't noticed your not in the SPFL now m8 I refer you to Buckie Thistle's League winning finish in 2016/17. P.S. I did say it was theoretically possible, not that it's likely to happen.. If it was proposed by Fort I'd imagine Strathspey Thistle and Turriff at a minimum would object to it anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a norm in the highland league ? To just make up random stuff through the season ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get why you'd be annoyed by Fort hosting a few home games though, whining about hospitality sounds a bit greedy tbh.

theoriginalhedge Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Just now, welshbairn said: Hate to mention Ken Ferguson's shenanigans, so I won't. You just did . But yes . That question was put firmly in its place at the time of asking which worked out ok for us in the long run. Same as the question you have posed. Thankfully (hopefully) it is only your opinion and the national media won't jump on it and add the arms and legs. Ironically Ken's request maybe wasn't such a bad idea after all as the boundaries are currently the topic of discussion. The media are very fickle. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get why you'd be annoyed by Fort hosting a few home games though, whining about hospitality sounds a bit greedy tbh. I am not only talking about us but every other club who have invested on hospitality as a source of matchday income . Fort are a club in the same league as all of us . They are no more entitled to special treatment than all of us . The ruling for the league was made at the start of the season when they couldn't meet the required criteria to fulfil their league matches . By all accounts the league were entitled to not allow them to compete at all but (rightfully) went with the current SEASON LONG solution. I am sorry but if the league were to suddenly have a change of heart now it would throw all sorts of problems into the pot. I used hospitality as one. What about the clubs in the league below? I'm sure they would have something to say as Fort could well have opened up a free space had the league decided to throw them out at the start. .....................Instead you suggest they overturn a punishment on the basis of feeling sorry for them .

It's quite ironic that Claggan Park is in the best condition it's ever been, while the Fort's matches at venues around the country are regularly postponed due to unplayable pitches. Probably because it's not being played on every fortnight. Or 4 times a month come the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoriginalhedge Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Fort are bringing the senior game into disrepute IMO . Only 9 "fit" signed players on their team sheet today . The rest made up of mates of those players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
