That's the thing to focus on. A day. The Central belt players they have on the books will be grateful they don't have to make the full journey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Says something that a licensed club would willingly want to drop from tier 6 in the shape of the SoS to tier 10 in the shape of this division to play against a collection of amateur and youth clubs rather than former west region teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not listed in the Strathclyde Cup draw, though in theory they could have entered the Junior Cup instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Maybe but would most Third Division clubs be any stronger in that department? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of years of headcounts show Threave would usually average over a 100 in the league. The one attempt at headcounts from 2019-20 included very incomplete stats, but league averages were this. Fact is the vast majority of semi-pro teams whether traditional/amateur/youth background seriously struggle to break a 100 or come close. That's why you had those in the Juniors that wanted to keep the Sectional League Cup to get the bigger teams through.

theesel1994 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Are all these 4th Division grounds up to standard to host cup matches against already established clubs? Or put it another way - if no work is done on any of the new entrants grounds, would they be eligible for promotion in a years time? Or is there any kind of minimum standard for competing in Division 4? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think there has to be something in place with regards promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archieb Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Isn't McKenna Park a grass pitch? If so, what happened to no new ground share arrangements except on artificial pitches? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 12 team league is a weird number. 22, 33 or 44 game league? Or a split? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbeltown Pupils home, Kintyre Park, is a privately owned ground of a very good standard with a variety of renovations carried out last season to meet criteria. The club cannot be faulted for showing ambition and the community spirit shown is amazing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a split? Surely 33 without a split, they can cope with those extra 3 games as most are unlikely to be going far in the cups, 22/44 too little/too much.

Yeah I think because Harmony Row and St. Cadoc's are switching groundshares, it technically doesn't count as a new groundshare so is allowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
