And has what was their team gone to Ardeer? The plan was for Kilbride Thistle's amateur team to step up to the WoSFL with TASS Thistle's amateur team taking on the Kilbride Thistle name. I would guess that's what's played out for Kilbride Thistle ams to have a team on the go with the departures.. EDIT: This was from after the announced departures to Ardeer.

theesel1994 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 That statement from Kilbride Thistle always worried me. If Sean Kenney's intention is to take Kilbride Thistle into the WoSFL in his Chairman role, what happens then? Does he take the whole team back from Ardeer Thistle and leave them in the lurch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 You would have thought Ardeer Thistle have had no say in the running of their club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has what was their team gone to Ardeer? Kilbride Thistle's amateur team appears to have transitioned across to being Ardeer Thistle while another amateur club Tass Thistle is stepping in to be Kilbride Thistle in Ayrshire amateur terms. Given how Ardeer Thistle have been struggling in recent seasons, the previous committee may have been happy to step aside and let another group take it on lock, stock and barrel. Seems to me that having a struggling WoS club and ambitious youth clubs amalgamating their efforts would be a better outcome than having a second WoS club emerge in Saltcoats.

Tutankhamen Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Maybe Westerton should have just took over an ex Junior club. Maryhill were crying out for volunteers not that long ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 This happens so often down in England, that it doesn't surprise me. Manager joins club A with a bigger budget. Club B sees the majority of players follow the manager, leaving them to struggle along. Most times it's a sponsors money that drives the scheme, eventually to backfire after say 5 years. Now with the majority of Scottish clubs gone Senior, this will happen more and more, sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltire Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 11 hours ago, Cyclizine said: They had some plans to move to St Matthews playing fields in Ardrossan and develop a ground there, I believe. The playing fields and school are in Saltcoats not Ardrossan. If Kilbride Thistle want to move up beyond the amateur ranks then fair enough. But it makes sense to do it in West Kilbride, not the Three Towns where there is already an established club in each town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Abso...feckin...lutetely. I did try to hint toward that point of view to Sean weeks ago. He gave a very diplomatic, non-comittal, response. Everybody down here knows that Ardeer Thistle & Saltcoats Victoria have both been crying out for haunners from the local populace for ages. Why are they only getting help from TASS and Kilbride now ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Just throwing it in, say IF around 10 amateur clubs are looking to go senior sometime, questions spring to mind 1) are there enough grounds that meet criteria, 2) would these clubs have finances to upgrade and 3) are there enough players who wish to go senior ? Seeing as most are already signed by current WOSFL clubs I'd guess. Have realistic dreams and ambition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
