Gordon EF Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Falkirk fans are just trying to exclude as many places as possible from the Central Belt so they can claim to be amongst the 22 best teams in the Central Belt IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Always had it as effectively the corridor between and around the M8 and M80. Ayr isn't imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Some absolute weirdo opinions here The Central Belt is Glasgow and Edinburgh metropolis's and everything in between. No Ayrshire, no Fife, no coastal areas like Greenock or Dumbarton. Ignore the line from Falkirk to Edinburgh, obviously the boundary is the Forth. I would hear arguments that Stirling is in the Central Belt due to being south of the Forth and on a direct train from Glasgow and Edinburgh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're fact. Also - isn't Ayr that place with a Butlins? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Belt: its narrowCentral: it covers the central part of Scotland. The clues are in the names which clearly exclude Ayr for christ sake. Gaz pretty much nailed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Former coalfields from Stirling to Leven should all be in along with the Vale of Leven. Bit dubious on how Ayrshire and Lanarkshire are being handled. Coalburn, Lesmahagow, New Cumnock and Dalmellington are more central belt than Wemyss Bay, Cumbrae or Turnberry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
