Only 9 "fit" signed players on their team sheet today . The rest made up of mates of those players. Is that a fact? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be new to Brechin, but overall it's not a new experience for Fort William. They often struggle for numbers, more so for away games. In a season of away games it shouldn't be a shock to see them struggle more than normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, you've gone from claiming it as a fact, to "seemingly" so, to a rumour. It could well be true of course, perhaps we'll never know..

LongTimeLurker Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 He's not worth wasting time on. Looking a bit ominous for Fort William though in terms of fulfilling all their fixtures this season if they are struggling for numbers to that extent on a Saturday afternoon. Can't be easy playing every game away from home. Hopefully local Fort William amateur players would actually be interested in playing in the NCL (presumably anyway) when the time comes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine Strathspey and Turriff at least will be very keen on Fort fulfilling their fixtures, even to the extent of loaning players if necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you dig a bit deeper into the Deveronvale game you might get a similar story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't checked but I assume that means the playoff is defined as being for the bottom placed club with nothing having been added to address the issue of what happens if a club folds and has its recored expunged midseason Selkirk style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I suppose it's more likely the eligible tier 6 winner would get automatic promotion without a playoff v the bottom HL side, and no possibility of demotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if the club folds mid season ? I assume all their fixtures will be turned in to 3-0 walkovers ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if it was a fact as you seemed to be intimating or just guessing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
