Dev Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Following on from the announcement of funding support for semi-pro clubs in England today it has been announced that £750,000 of National Lottery funds is going to the 44 clubs in the Welsh Cymru League. “The financial package – established by the FAW and The National Lottery and facilitated by the UK Government – will see clubs in the JD Cymru Premier, JD Cymru North and the JD Cymru South receive funding while matches continue to be played behind closed doors, owing to the current COVID-19 restrictions. “ “Nigel Railton, Chief Executive of National Lottery operator Camelot, said, “The National Lottery and its players have been making a massive difference to communities across the UK for the past 26 years, so we’re thrilled to be able to partner with the Football Association of Wales to provide vital funding for these incredibly important clubs in the Cymru Leagues. As a huge football fan myself, I know what this will mean to fans of these community clubs, and I’m sure they’ll be pleased to hear that their clubs are getting the support they need.” The partnership follows a similar National Lottery initiative between the FA and National League in England, which was facilitated by the UK government. Work continues on partnerships with the Scottish and Northern Ireland FAs. “ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they've just signed up for the ticketing website, they're likely getting a bit ahead of themselves. Nothing wrong with a bit of forward planning though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Article from BBC about Forres Mechanics. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-55085490 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Is there any sense Forres now regret mothballing... or at least decided rather quickly? Did they expect other Highland League teams to follow... then no-one did? It's strange when 1 team withdraws and everyone else starts. Obviously lots of West of Scotland League teams have mothballed for various reasons. That apart, across the whole rest of senior and junior football it's just Forres, plus Bunillidh Thistle. (Montrose Roselea and Spey Valley aren't contesting North Juniors League Cup currently but may enter league tournament from January). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Forres won’t have any regrets just now. They may have some in June when their players don’t come back, tho. Their decision was more financial than for any other reason, if rumours are anything close to accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I have a ticket for the Clach game tomorrow, but it's tipping down with rain here at the moment and the forecast isn't great. I doubt it will go ahead unless they have worked wonders on the pitch since the dressing room fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Rumoured to plenty snow in Grantown, too. Weather in the InverMeldrumMedden megaplex is none too pleasant either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get the choice of a refund or to keep the ticket for when it's eventually played, that's what Nairn did last week. I agree with you, there's no chance. Tickets just gone on sale for Scottish Cup game v Caledonian Braves on Saturday week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) P.S. Strathspey v Rothes off as well, and probably the rest of the league who haven't announced yet. Edited December 4, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
