Dandyjam Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Chairman just on the radio saying they could be out of business before the end of the season, rating chances at 50/50. Link to comment
Stuartini Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Saw them play Raith Rovers last week, they were horrendous! Except their number 4 none of the players should be playing football! Let alone at that level! Their travelling support was 14! I used to play for amateur teams with a bigger travelling support. I completly agree, teams like spartans in edinburgh and a few highland league teams could easily do a better job, sooner this country has a pyramid system the better. Reward successful teams, demote joke teams. Link to comment
carlos Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 saying that east stirlingshire are doing well this year up in to 4th place! Link to comment
Stuartini Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Due to a lot of investment, do you not think east stirling should have been demoted to give another team a chance instead of being a gimmie on the pools? Link to comment
dazzy_deff Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 bit of investment and a decent manager east stirling are lookin good...but i agree, east stirling should have been kicked out years ago!! end if next season i will be sayin the same about elgin!! Link to comment
carlos Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 did east stirling shire finish bottom 4/5 seasons on the trot ? Link to comment
TheChimp Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 did east stirling shire finish bottom 4/5 seasons on the trot ? 5 years on the trot. Would have lost full membership of the league (or something along those lines) had they finished bottom last season but scrapped away on the last day of the season and Forfar took their place. On the plus side, it looks like Elgin are taking East Stirling as Scotland's pish team. Link to comment
K-9 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If Stranraer went bust would anyone even notice? Link to comment
Dynamo Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Seems like their fans or their town don't even care if they're only getting gates of 250. Link to comment
K-9 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Last home crowd against East fife was just 200. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Guy I knew when I was at uni supported Stranraer. He was also a Dons fan and one night at the pub I asked him how he came to support Stranraer as well as Aberdeen as he was an Aberdonian born and breed.. He said when he was a kid he was bored of Aberdeen being so good he decided to find a crap small team to support as a 2nd team. He went to the odd game if they were playing near Aberdeen. He did go and see them against the Arabs in the League Cup. Hope they survive, never nice to see a club go bust (Unless its Hearts, Rangers or Celtic of course). The locals should get out and support them but I bet a fair number of them are knuckle dragging huns or tims. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 8-2 down at home. Sooner they go the better. Link to comment
K-9 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 All their players now playing for free so mostly junior players hoping to get spotted and get a move to another club. Link to comment
Guest SS RED Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Scotland has too many teams anyway and not enough fans. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Now the manager has resigned. Hun and brother of Barry, Derek Ferguson. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...aer/7849373.stm Link to comment
minijc Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Scotland has too many teams anyway and not enough fans.That's what talksport were saying today, scotland should cut the legues down, make it a 2 league system with more teams in the other league and concentrate on getting more money in to the top fligh to boost the way it is.

Guest SS RED Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 There should be 2 leagues, SPL with 18 teams or 16 teams and then an SPL 2 with 18 teams. Link to comment
minijc Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Sounds logical, 2 up 2 down aswell I'd say. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Sounds logical, 2 up 2 down aswell I'd say. A proper pyramid system as well and I think thats a winner. Link to comment
