PapaShango Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 They won't be missed in the top flight. We need clubs that 1. don't have plastic pitches and 2. have a decent fan base or it looks even more mickey mouse! They have done well over the last few years but even though they are close to Edinburgh, I never enjoy a trip to their ground for some reason.

It looked absolutely pish at Livi on Sunday. Out with people in Scotland nobody is going to give a toss about low crowds at Livi or Perth. It's a similar ilk to crowds in Norway, Sweden or Eire for example - who cares, we tend not to be watching anyway. Any time I see EFL football on TV the crowds do not look near capacity either . Maybe just unlucky in the games that happen to be on though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say I enjoyed the short trip to Livy with a big Hearts support, however I agree there’s no place in the SPL for that shit pitch!

They shouldn't be likeable at all as they are essentially a Scottish MK Dons, but a town like Livingston should have a professional football club. I feel they've tried hard to embrace their community, I love that they regularly advertise non-league games in West Lothian during international breaks. Just seems like no one really cares sadly. Rangers and Celtic fans to the left of them! Hearts and Hibs fans to the right of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people's second team in that area. Folk might pop along to a match as a wee day out with the kids. But there's little to no emotional attachment to the team.

I have always thought there must be more Hearts supporters in West Lothian than there are Hibs supporters purely from geographical reasons , but then there are loads of Hearts supporters in East Lothian I suppose , so possibly not as much the case as I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit to being conflicted by wanting them gone and the fun they bring. The recent video shows they can bring a smile on a dull day.

Chaps Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) 21 hours ago, gorgierulesapply88 said: They aren't entering Administration. Not sure where that chat has come from. I wouldn’t be too sure about that one. From what I’ve heard they are in deep shit, struggling to get investment into the club and shareholders unwilling to put anymore money in. Got no ill feeling towards Livi just that abysmal pitch shouldn’t be anywhere near Scottish football. Isn’t even good enough for the lower leagues. Martindale seemed a decent guy but turned into a bit of melt greeting about his budget every week when things aren’t going well.

They offer not a single positive thing to our football. No support of any number. Caveman football. They deserve to disappear without trace without question. They will not survive relegation. Bye, bye Livi - you won’t be missed in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These stewards also do the square root of 0 if any issues anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi sold all the hospitality rights to food creations. They own all the areas of the club that have catering. Livingston are very Celtic. Some of their board members are very Celtic minded as well.

So is his son who runs one of their main sponsors. But then Martindale is a massive Rangers man haha. Typical West Lothian really 😂 - most folk round here are one or the other eh.

Blindwells will fill the gap where the opencast was, draw a line between the east coast mainline and the A1 North of Macmerry will be there it stops.Planning application in for North of Gladsmuir and wouldn't be surprised if New Longniddry village isn't extended in future.Tranent is rapidly approaching Ormiston and Wallyford two fields from Tranent and one from Preston pans. All of this has been planned for in the last 25-30 years(part of Lothian Structure Plan) but nobody takes as any notice when councils go out to consultation.
