cmontheloknow 3,769 Report post Posted October 4, 2019 The patter in the amateur forum makes the Juniors one look like the Times letters page. To spare people... Pennies AFC and Craigshill Thistle AFC were rebranded as CP United for this season (Pennies squad/ Craigshill league position) and have now resigned from the Lothian & Edinburgh AFA and will effectively merge into Syngenta. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drs 1,781 Report post Posted October 4, 2019 Syngenta had 12 stripped players when I saw them a month ago (and managed to lose quite convincingly to 9 men) and one of those was an emergency loan. Did fear for them seeing out the season so this looks like good news BUT like most people in Falkirk I've heard the Pennies stories over the years so the jury is most definitely out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they still have plans to play elsewhere? I know their EOSFL application has been knocked back due to the ground not being up to scratch, which is why they applied to the ERJFA as a groundshare. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBAFC 24 Report post Posted October 4, 2019 At least the guys that run Pennies can pay players at Syngenta where it’s actually acceptable. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was young they were ici then zeneca now syngenta It's one of those corporate non-names that doesn't actually mean anything, like when the post office though it would be a good idea to call itself Consignia for about ten minutes in the 90s. It's the kind of name that probably sounded great in the boardroom - the problem with going down that route is that they could literally be in any kind of business and we'd be none the wiser...Syngenta could just as easy be either a truck manufacturer or a feminine hygiene product. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the name means more locally as it's original intention was juvenile teams. Back in my young day little kerse was bp playing fields. They were all bp juvenile 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
