Cowdenleith Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Aye see you guys are the odd team out this week, it’s a crap feeling when every other team are playing, especially when it’s a long weekend and cracking weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just underlines how little worth, financially, the B teams are. An Easter weekend should see everyone playing, hopefully boosting gate. The fact that the season is extended to accommodate the B teams means extra wages for at least 3 weeks, maybe 4. The clubs with low running costs can greedily take the money but we have to pay extra rent for having these three in. I'm sure Cowdenbeath are in a similar position.

LongTimeLurker Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Spartans can now drop out of the League Cup: They fielded a U-20 team against Dundonald Bluebell for a cup game a few days back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 How do you think Dalbeattie Star drew 2-2 with Celtic B last week? That was a league rather than a cup game that could potentially have determined who got relegated this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why this League is a complete farce and the sooner those clubs are removed the fairer it will become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be either 3 points to every opponent or no points. It's not as if the b teams can get promoted. But is it fair if they can decide promotion or relegation, naw. So put them into the reserve league. LL should grow a pair and tell them to bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Crookies Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I never thought I would be saying this, but I agree with Lithgierose. After reading the earlier post by Jambo’ness regarding finance, I can see no benefit in having them. I have no doubt they will dump the lowland league without a second thought if something they think better comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 BU Twitter announced contract extensions for Gemmell, Stevenson, Grant and Hawkins. I assume these will all be 1 year extensions. I had previously heard that there were very few players contracted for the 23/24 season.....think it was only 3 players. Kyle Johnstone and Lewis McArthur were 2 of the 3. Hopefully more good news over the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
