No chip on my shoulder. You made a stupid comment about too many teams being relegated and there is nothing wrong with that as I had just proven to you but all you come back with it tired or personal negative comments. Do you do this on most of your posts that you disagree with, making negative comments when the person has been constructive and is right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one thing, you have that then interest will rise and if you get your house in order then your team could benefit greatly. It's really open right now, it sup to Albion to embrace it and try and get people through the turnstiles, sponsorship etc... Every team will go through bad times as people see it and its then that they need to take a step back and work out what they were doing wrong Unfortunately, the vast majority of people from Coatbridge are really not interested in Albion Rovers, which is probably why they're in this position. Don;t get me wrong, they have a dedicated and loyal band of followers, but they number around 250. It's simply not enough to sustain football in the SPFL, IMHO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albion Rovers a club nobody in Coatbridge cared about replaced by a team with a strange name nobody West of the Edinburgh bypass had ever heard of. I genuinely do feel sad for the Albion Rovers guys on here but it was like your old 95 year old granny dying. You knew it was going to happen one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spartans is a bit quirky, I agree, but acceptable. It's Caledonian Braves that I cannot bear, as it just sounds so American, as does Cumbernauld Colts, come to think of it. Additionally, I'm not sure how I would feel about a university's team playing in the SPFL. An outfit that will change their name for cash, is also not welcome (Open Goal Broomhill). Tranent need to drop 'Juniors' now they're playing in the senior league. In fact, there's a case to be made for zero promotion/relegation spots with the Lowland League on account of their names. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds 100% correct, but if this has been a slide over the years for how long, its really up to their chairman and committee to sort it out for whatever they have been doing clearly has not been working. As you say the vast majority are not interested so the club have to figure out why, work out things like the team, the management, the players with the capitol that they have, new sponsorship etc... and work out what they have to do to get more local people involved in their club because teams lower down in the Lowland, Highland, WSFL, EOSFL and all the rest of the leagues are doing just that, they're mostly all trying to address that and get people coming through the turnstiles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Really sad to see Albion drop out. Wasn't too long ago they won the division if I remember correctly. Hopefully see them back in the not too distant future. Good luck to Spartans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I'd also extend that to current SPFL sides who make shite name changes, namely "FC Edinburgh". This isn't the fucking MLS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To lecture the committee of AR for not doing enough to raise local interest without acknowledging that context is just posturing nonsense. The demise of Albion Rovers is not caused by their blazers being less effective or skilled for the 21st century than Spartans or other entrant clubs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in the SPFL thinks its all cooshty being there and that they are fine but there are just too many teams just being there and not improving, while teams below constantly improving and strengthening. Albion Rovers have been relegated for one reason and one reason alone. They were not good enough and don't expect to see them back for a while, genuinely the standard below and strength will be too much for them.. Bloody hell, talk about an overreaction 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
