queensferryjambo Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 You couldn't make this shit up. Albion Rovers manager looking for league reconstruction and complaining also about only having 27 games in the season You wouldn't think that Albion Rovers voted to end the leagues, against reconstruction and to have a 27 game season or anything like that.........

merseyjambo Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 TBF, Albion’s complaint about the reconstruction proposed meant another 2 trips to the north of Scotland. Hypocrites for talking about it now when the bite of COVID is starting to really hit smaller clubs but and it’s a big but what they are proposing makes sense especially if all league clubs were asked if they wanted to put a colts team into the pyramid. The bottom tier could be regionalised into west, east and north and a play off system with club who finish bottom of third tier takes place. I know there are a few junior clubs in west who have already resigned from league or are looking to. In east you could include the likes of Bonnyrigg, Kelty etc. There would probably be enough to form 3 divisions of 10/12 if you included colts teams (colts teams couldn’t be promoted or enter cup competitions). From our perspective, a colts team playing teams like Stenhousemuir or Edinburgh City would be better than loaning out. Absolute shithouses for moaning about it when it was touted and now pleading for it, but the longer fans are out of stadiums, the more appetite there will be for reconstruction among the smaller clubs to reduce their cost base. Which if they had to call the leagues, there would be a lot of draft proposals for reconstruction. This might work to our advantage in case clubs like Hamilton and Ross County try to put proposals in to block relegation and promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18Jambo_dave74 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Were they not the ones that let slip that they didn’t want to have to travel to Brora as it meant having to get up early and get a bus up there? We got demoted due to clubs like that’s vote. **** them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were and I’m not sympathetic to their whining now but I can understand that for clubs like them, Annan, Stranraer etc, including Brora would mean 6 trips a year to the Highlands and Islands. From a cost perspective for clubs like that it can’t be easy. Now is the time to start talking about reconstruction not 6 weeks before the season starts. There is a real opportunity to open out the lower levels of Scottish Football and reduce costs for these part time clubs. This could also benefit us by expansion of top league and putting colts teams into the bottom league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like ICT incrporating both names when they combined. However, Coatbridge FC or Coatbridge United might have been a better choice. Unless they didn't want anyone to know they're from Coatbridge.
