Pretty sure any other Angus club would be of the same opinion. No. Angus is clearly in the "Highland" section of Scottish football, that your board are mewling away in a feeble attempt to change the entire structure of Scottish football when your shite just shows how tinpot your club actually is. Funny they weren't bothered about it when in the Championship. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny they weren't bothered about it when in the Championship. You CityDieHard by another name? If we go down we will have to take our medicine, that's just the way it is. I have said elsewhere that all pert time clubs are a couple of poor decisions away from where we find ourselves. Supporters need to remember that the core of the committee has been the same for 20 plus years and we have more than held our own in that time. I also think the accusation of not contributing anything is ridiculous; we constantly have to invest in our ground and spent a few quid in recent years on the pitch - good enough for Aberdeen (and others) to play development games on it. Looking after a ground is something other clubs don't have to worry about Edinbugh City rent a ground therefore they have more money to put on players - a coincidence that they are at the top end of the league? EStirling who went a few years ago never invested anything in their ground, ultimately ground sharing, Berwick not sure. We also have other clubs who somehow manage to play in grounds with closed terracing and poor facilities. Anyone want to bleat about them? If go down we go down, that's how it works but for us not investing or giving anything back is out of order. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't beat Annan in the cup and were comfortably beaten by Auchinleck in the cup. Just because they pump some dross at the lower end of the Lowland League doesn't make them League 1 standard. The real test for them this season is still to come when they play both BSC and Bonnyrigg home and away. If they stroll these games, then maybe your point would be more believable. Says the boy who’s team got pumped from an average EoS team and who have been dross for years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its your clubs arrogance in thinking that they should be a South of Scotland team as being in the HL will make them unable to recruit players - tell that to the guys who play for Peterhead and Elgin who schlep there every other week. An Angus club entering the Highland League, should if run properly, have the ability to pick up players from between Aberdeen and Perth that of are a standard above what currently plays in the Highland League. That the mewling idiots on your board think the Central belt donkeys who are going to get you relegated three seasons in a row are still the best option says it all about why you deserve to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitburn Vale Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I know from talking to fans of other SHFL sides that a trip to Glebe Park would be high on the agenda,I suppose with it being a different away ground to visit is a big draw. The SHFL is the best and easiest way back for City to the SPFL as the LL is only gonna get tougher with each passing year. Bit to go yet though,could still save themselves from the playoffs or win the final vs Brora,Kelty or Bonnyrigg but as I said the latter are some outfit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Regardless of the merits, it shouldn't even be a matter for debate for this season. The HL/LL line was in place at the start of the season and would require a rule change to amend it. Such rule changes should only be possible at AGM and applicable to the following season. Brechin, should they finish bottom and lose the play-off, should be headed for the HL, not the LL. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even an average Lowland League side like East Kilbride or BSC Glasgow would have them over two legs nevermind Kelty/Bonnyrigg or Brora. Average 15 hours ago, Neilly said: Well they aren't really are they? 14 and 17 points behind those respectively and even if they were to win their games in hand are not going to lay a glove on either. I am familiar with the BSC squad as a good few have played with us and most of them are probably lower end league two players at best at this stage of their careers. Kelty, for instance, have at least four or five players who would get in any team from league one down and even some championship (Reid, Tidser, Easton, Reilly, Austin) mixed with good blend of youth and experience. So by league one do you mean teams like East Fife? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Elgin & Peterhead were able to build championship winning Highland League sides arguably when it was a lot stronger with Caledonian, Inverness Thistle, Ross County and Cove Rangers in it. The player recruitment angle is a red herring. Any club relegated from the SPFL will have to change how they operate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense! I'm sure Cove are pretty happy with their team and at Queen's Park I'm delighted with the 8 players we have brought in to strengthen our team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 All of those players would walk in to Cove or Queens Parks team. Just being difficult to suggest otherwise. A lot of jealousy flys about because Kelty are loaded and people can't see the woods from the trees. Quite embarrassing really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Kelty are so far up their own backside that they don't see what is going on at other clubs. Peter Grant, Craig Slater, David Galt, Josh Doig, Adam King, Nicky Jamieson, Ross MacLean, Salim Kouider-Aissa would all walk into the Kelty team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelty have got a couple of players that I would gladly have at Hampden tbh. Let's just see if we can take care of Brechin tomorrow night before we get too carried away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they also have a fairly good support (it really should be more but OF glory hunters etc) Maybe you should just flog Glebe Park to Angus Council as a community asset, they can stick in a 4G and look after the facilities. Hell, you could even run it for them as Haddington Athletic run the 4G pitch in Haddington. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrogance is thinking you are good enough to win a league cause you have a large fan base and getting nowhere near in years. In fact you loit gave saved by relegation due to rule changes - Falkirk not having enough seats or something ridiculous I seem to have bitten at your clear hat for all things Brechin, you clearly have no idea what has happened at Brechin in recent years and are making all sorts of claims based on nothing more than the one line the P+J gives it. As I have said, if we get relegated then so be it and whatever league we end up is the one we end up in. No idea where you are getting the idea from that we will be LL team, as it stands its the HL. Enjoy you sour plums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is your club has went pro out of fear for what lies beneath. Teams like Kelty, Bonnyrigg, BSC, East Kilbride & East Stirlingshire all pose a threat to the future league status of clubs like Queens Park.
