vale boy Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Gutted to see Grant stand down. He came in after the squad was left in a total mess. Results have been poor with too many defeats but the team have at least been competitive in some games. Was hoping he would stay on for next season but I think he's found it difficult to bring players with experience in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be about half the games and all the points. Edited March 8, 2022 by FairWeatherFan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale boy Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Seems that getting experienced players in especially mid season was an impossible task. Being bottom of the league with a shocking goal against tally hardly made it an enticing prospect.The financial demands from players in the LL surely played its part also . Relegation is fairly inevitable now so I had hoped he would continue and try and build a squad for next season. The guys on the committee are hard working and despite the results this season there actually seems to be more local support turning up to games. Good luck to him in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrIrvinePollock Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 If Elgin pick up a point - or Cowdenbeath drop points....it's goodbye Vale. Not before time I'm sure many will feel. Is the clubs fall from grace reflective of Anderson's rein, the managers since he left....or the committee itself? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 They're technically not confirmed as bottom of the Lowland League yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 They can still overtake Gretna. Fraserburgh or Buckie winning the playoffs gets rid of both of them. Bad for Bonnyrigg if that happens obviously but best for getting the LL to where it should be as quickly as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 If they can win the next 2 games, Gretna lose theirs and there's an 80 goal swing they might just pull off the impossible! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully believe that Gretna can lose by 10+ goals in the next couple games. VoL winning, let alone winning by a large enough margin to make up the difference, not so much 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't say anything about how likely it was. Think the idea Cowdenbeath can avoid tenth place is almost as farfetched at this point so not sure why the poster would be waiting with bated breath for that one to be mathematically confirmed but not the other.

jamamafegan Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I seem to have misunderstood what the full outcome of that meeting was the other night. Let me get this straight:Am I reading this right that LL have said only one team will be promoted/relegated this season - unless Fraserburgh relegate cowden? Cowden coming down means 19 teams in the league, so do the Vale automatically get punted?If Bonnyrigg go up Cowden will basically swap places with them. Is there now no longer going to be a play-off between the Vale and one of the tier 6 clubs? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there now no longer going to be a play-off between the Vale and one of the tier 6 clubs? Forget everything you've just written! Vale of Leithen* will finish bottom of the LL, and will be relegated. Cowdenbeath* will finish bottom of L2, and Gretna* will finish second bottom of the LL. Gretna will also be relegated if Fraserburgh/Buckie are promoted. The winner of the play-off between Penicuik/Linlithgow/Tranent v St Cuthbert Wanderers v Auchinleck/Pollok**/Darvel will be promoted to the LL. *to be mathematically confirmed on Saturday ** if licensed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 If vol and Gretna are relegated how do they determine the 2 clubs to be promoted?VOL will get relegated to make place for the winner of the tier 6 play-off. Gretna will get relegated to make way for Cowdenbeath if Fraserburgh or Buckie get promoted, as otherwise there would be 19 teams in the LL. If Bonnyrigg get promoted, they will just swap places with Cowdenbeath and Gretna will stay up as the league will stay at 18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
