Garret Deasy Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Seeing the success and devlopement of the junior clubs who made the move across to the 'pyramid'. the latest news is floodlights for free in East Lothian. https://tinyurl.com/y4cc55ql Bonnyrigg Rose shown live on BBC Scotland while progessing to the next round, with the increasing prize money is a club that is winning regular media coverage and increased crowds. Other junior clubs chapping on the door of the Lowland League. Kelty already up there. Great to see their success, their profiles being improved, their incomes increased, their community engagement more visible, and their facilities being improved and developed. Of course they are still seen as junior clubs, you can't ignore over a hundred years of history. But it is a shame they had to leave the junior ranks to achieve all of this. And in such a short time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormi Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 It’s not “floodlights for free” for these teams. East Lothian Council are making a, fairly sizeable, contribution towards the cost but the teams have been fundraising for themselves as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raven and roger Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Talbot didn't. It's only a matter of time before most of the "big" junior clubs are forced into the pyramid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chis Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Unfortunately not all Councils are prepared to assist Clubs in their efforts to install floodlights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possilonian Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 My local Junior club is Maryhill - we have floodlights. I may have misunderstood but I thought floodlights weren't allowed for Junior League games, we never seem to use them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams have to agree to play under them, for some reason clubs are reluctant to agree to play under them. Lower league clubs like Maryhill (with no disrespect to them) rarely have massive fixture backlogs and so have no real reason to arrange games on dark winter nights 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have misunderstood but I thought floodlights weren't allowed for Junior League games, we never seem to use them. Maryhill were due to play St. Roch’s during the week in a friendly. This game was postponed after a fault was found with the floodlights when they were used earlier in the week for a schools’ game. (It might be that they are keen to use them more this year, but perhaps not for competitive matches. I have been at a number of Friday night floodlit games, and they have all attracted decent crowds.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
