PELE Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Probably a silly question, but if Uni of Stirling were to win the league, are they able to be promoted (if they were to win the play-offs of course)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they play at Forthbank so no stadium issues, and they have an SFA License just like every other club in the LL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to suspect that Maxwell and Doncaster would explore every avenue to prevent a Uni team entering the SPFL. Not good for the brand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) It would be worse for the brand to deny the best team in the non-league a promotion. Edited January 3, 2023 by craigkillie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowdenleith Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Saturday’s opponents Dalbeattie Star lost 10-0 at Caledonian Braves tonight. Looking at their team line up it looked broadly similar to the team that only lost 1-0 to Gretna on Saturday, including Mason McCready who I thought was a decent keeper for us early season. Must be brutal picking the ball out your net 10 times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what league you are in folk come out to see a winning team. I’m not even sure it is all about winning. I’ve watched Cowden lose week after week for years but theres very little entertainment in any game Cowden have played this season and that is what is making me less inclined to go to matches. A lot of the opposition are just as bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think if we were winning more regularly and challenging at top end more folk would come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s very little to play for in this league unless you are at the top end of it. A lot of the fans I have spoken to haven’t been back since we went down. The initial novelty of playing different teams has worn off and most people can see the lowland league is boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair point I was too young to really remember what the SFL was like with two big leagues but it must have been similar to where we are now. I believe one of the reasons for them changing things was meaningless games. Four games a season against SPFL sides is repetitive but with the leagues being small everyone has something to play for at either end. Also in the LL the stop start nature of playing a cluster of games including midweeks then nothing for a few weeks dosn’t help things. Having weeks off means fans find things to do and makes it easier to drift away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
