I think people are looking into this too much, the fixtures are done by the same guy who does the EoSFL, I’m not sure he would be taking too much notice of any “politics”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the lowland league teams have been willing to sell the others down the river. Have always said if as they seem determined to do get in to the proper league i would not continue to support my team and would look to possibly junior football and have made that clear to my club. The great one year experiment will if achieve nothing but give a couple sides an even bigger stranglehold on the game in Scotland. There is a good chance those so keen to accept the bribe offered will no longer exist anyway in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfassemblyshire Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Having just had a look at the fixtures for all the teams and the rational behind how the fixtures were worked out is totally baffling ! Obviously I had a look at Gretna 2008 fixtures first - to be given first 4 games away on the trot??? Why the need for that scenario is the real puzzler. Later on they have 3 home games on the trot - again why the need ??? Checking the rest of the clubs in the league and almost all have a run of 3 or 4 home or away games on the trot at some time - again - why ???? I know ever club has to play each other at some time but a good start gives momentum. Playing 4 away games to start is a very tough way to build that momentum. In the past the normality would be alternate home / away fixtures but this current lot is a really strange way to plan a league campaign. All in all a very lopsided fixture list which is difficult to understand why it has been worked out in that way. We have 4 games away on the trot too in August/September. All hard ties 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretna are getting a new pitch installed at Raydale and there's a reason East Stirlingshire are playing all their friendlies away from home. Common sense the clubs made the request. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big story is for a lot of fans the competitive Fitbaw featuring their teams will soon be back ...... halle-fecking-lujah !! All I now want is to see my team in action, be it against Barca B or Vale of Leithen. As fans of a club who rejected the pestilent duo, we can hold our heads high and let all the trolls fire as many pot-shots as they like. C'mon the BU's! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a pity they did not feel that this sort of info was important enough to include on their App!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 What's the usual price that clubs are charging for individual player/shirt sponsorship this season? Wondering how it compares between the WoS, EoS, Highland and Lowland leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think at that price I'll be giving it a miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose they have ground rental costs and their playing in a stadium with good facilities for fans. The cost of running a football club isn’t cheap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some no name asshole like me can work out this might be an issue, then it shouldn't be hard for the brain's trust at the Lowland League to see this would be a potential problem. Celtic won't bother their arse about games being rearranged but part time clubs are going to be without players due to work etc if games are going to be rearranged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoofhearted Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Spartans charging £150 for player sponsorship. Been that for a couple of years. What's the usual price that clubs are charging for individual player/shirt sponsorship this season?

The cost of football is rising of course but not at a ridiculous rate. The shire were 12 and 6 iirc in league two so the fact that we've not reached that again after 5 years is very impressive, and shout out to the board for keeping our prices low considering our crowds have been dwindling. 10 pound to see a game at a decent level is still very good considering most spfl teams are minimum £15 now. It's relative to the level. When we first began LL we were the most expensive at £8 so £10 with a much higher standard of football and a lot of good and recognisable players on it is still pretty cheap imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
