The hatred being shown on social media tonight for this one season trial is almost as bad as the stuff in March when the entry in to the league system was first mentioned .

Jakes Pal 5,575 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Perhaps the hatred may subside a little when the away support goes from one man and a dug to at least several hundred paying good money to get in to the ground happens. For example Cumbernauld Colts, there is a large Gers support in What's it Called? and I have no doubt that the Bears in the area will go along to support the youngsters.

Clubs weren't really going for it and theres a lot of he said she said about what happened next. Ultimately, it wasn't going to happen in the immediate future so the clubs went another direction. There's the added twist here that after all of the talk about respecting the pyramid, the SPFL will be forced into a decision if either of the colt sides look like winning the title. magic8ball 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 EKFC are my local team and been to a couple of games. Would love to see them promoted to the proper leagues and will defo go see the colts against them. Would fancy it to be a tough game for the colts, some really decent players in the EK team. Annoyingly EK played them a few years back, so they are quite pally with them. Durant is the assistant manager with them I'm sure. New 4000 all seater stadium meant to be going up in the next few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seethe on Pie and Bovril is admittedly quite enjoyable, they're acting as if it's a sporting scandal on the same level as Calciopoli or the Black Sox It starts from this linked post: https://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php?/topic/267200-celtic-and-rangers-b-teams-in-league-two/&do=findComment&comment=14448392 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money will do some talking too .When the Lowland league clubs have a couple of home games a season with couple of thousand extra paying customers ,there’s a good chance they will want this idea to continue. Then you might see a few lower league chairmen wanting a slice of that pie .Especially when the more ambitious Lowland league clubs can then afford to offer better wages and become more of a threat .

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Obviously the club think this an idea worth exploring so I will go along with it. Standard will be on a par with the bottom SPFL league. If RTV cover the games I will be watching them. A concept that works well in many European leagues.

SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Typical bitter attitude to anything we do, the hatred is unbelievable for 1 season of this, would love to see it continue for that alone. On a serious note though this can only do our kids a world of good, standard might not be the greatest but they will be playing men week in and week out, also getting a feel for the preparation and what goes into an actual matchday as it's no longer show up at Auchenhowie for a bounce game.

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Will be interesting to see where they place. You would hope that they would win the league, but I think the Kelty Hearts / EKFC teams might actually provide a bit of a shock and finish ahead of the colts.
