GNU_Linux Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm sure this'll be the move that'll help towards opening up League 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlansHotBath Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 A nonsense statement from Fraser. Hopefully this goes nowhere, as there is zero chance it will only be for one season, and likely an avenue to get into the SPFL if they could as well 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 What are Fraser and the LL playing at here, what on earth are they doing. Shafting every single club at level 6 and beyond. Player development my arse.If these Colt teams want to enter the Pyramid, try starting at the bottom of the WoS. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) The leagues similarly pissed off about the Lowland League's choice. And so they should be, absolute joke. Scottish football determined to make a disgrace of itself. Edited May 5, 2021 by RossBFaeDundee 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwullieac Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 George Fraser and anyone else can hang their heads in shame for even entertaining the idea. Happy to take the bigots coin and spit in the face of the teams (including their current champion of the last two seasons) who actually put in hard graft to get into the league, and those in the EOS, SOS, and WOS who are working hard to do the same. If this goes to a vote I can only hope that Bo'ness and the rest of the LLs teams tell them to GTF 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morley Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Was there maybe a link here to the agreement about the club 42 playoff going ahead, in return the LL would speak to the old firm. Edited May 5, 2021 by morley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastyMan Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 What a piece of nonsense! The Lowland League acting as a playground for the Old Firm? GTF! This really stinks 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Don't quite understand why it's the Lowland League who have made the first approach. My guess is that this is some kind of political manouevring or something among the Lowland League chairmen. Who knows. Doubt it ever happens tbh. There's no advantage to Rangers and Celtic doing this that I can see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no advantage to Rangers and Celtic doing this that I can see.Lowland League and their teams will be wanting the money Rangers & Celtic were offering to League Two. So very limited promotion from East and West of Scotland and 1 relegation spot from Lowland League but invite Rangers & Celtic Colts. Joke and a big f**k you to all tier 6 teams and below. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) SPFL should tell the Lowland League that if they do this there is no more promotion to the league. The league's clubs and supporters overwhelmingly oppose demeaning the league to further boost the prospects of the two wealthiest clubs. Any attempt to introduce it via the back door should be resisted. Edited May 5, 2021 by Bully Wee Villa 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can see why the Lowland League might go to Rangers and Celtic and say "Give us a bag of cash and we'll give you one season of Colt teams while we're hard up" I don't see why Rangers and Celtic would make that deal though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Horrendous idea. There's no place in the pyramid for the Bigot Brothers colt sides. What happens if one of them wins the Lowland League? No playoff spot for any of the first teams? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Caledonian Braves, edin uni, Stirling uni, BSC) At the very minimum old firm fans would be bringing a couple of hundred and probably more depending on the occasion. And also I believe they are paying somesort of joining fee. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it doing anything in particular to change the minds of League 1 and 2 chairman, but maybe others can see something I can't. I still think League 1 and 2 fans would be opposed, and therefore the clubs will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 All the respectful clubs in the LL that actually listen to their fans should be pulling out and reapplying for the EOS/WOS/SOS leagues. Short term strain but better than completely losing their supporters. It’s a fucking disgrace by the LL! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
