What age group are we talking here?
Will benefit our 17 and 18 year olds but any older than that should be on loan at least 2 leagues higher.
I expect there will be a big push from the club for people to attend and pay to watch these games to show the League clubs what they could have won.Would not be surprised if the Scottish league clubs now have an emergency meeting to try and vote it through.
That is a lot of money they are missing out on when you include the fees we will pay, the gate receipts and TV revenue
Mygers points for away tickets!I expect there will be a big push from the club for people to attend and pay to watch these games to show the League clubs what they could have won.
Think the plan when we were trying to get the colts team into league 2 was for 16-18 year olds so guessing it will be the same for this.What age group are we talking here?
Will benefit our 17 and 18 year olds but any older than that should be on loan at least 2 leagues higher.
No mate, limited to U20s with one U21 goalkeeper allowed apparentlyCan we use this route to get players fit following injury?
Will take the judgement of the club on this, they clearly think its worth exploring. The interview from last week also said they will continue to play against European teams when possible.Pointless the standard isn’t high enough over the league which we require for the
Youths.
Playing against people with limited skill and who play the game like it’s a full contact sport.
The kids will learn nothing other than how to try and cope with getting kicked all over the place.
Lowland league attendances will almost certainly be higher than League 2 and maybe many League 1 teams.If it wasn't just for the one season, clubs from League 2 would be queuing up to get relegated next season.
Fair point, but didn't we used to farm young players out to junior sides in order to toughen them up for first-team football?I don't see the benefit of this at all. Such a poor level of football, filled with cloggers. No better than the juniors.
It's worse than the old juniors. There's literally teams in this league you could phone up and get a trial with tomorrow. University teams etc. The likes of Talbot etc would steamroll all but 4/5 teams at that level, ironically the ex junior teams like Kelty, Bonnyrigg and Bo'ness.I don't see the benefit of this at all. Such a poor level of football, filled with cloggers. No better than the juniors.
Edit"Same level as the juniors"
get your head into 2021. The Juniors are dead and buried.
The level is little different from League 1.
Scottish football not hating itself to death is a welcome surprise, I keep thinking I'm missing something because of this but it seems it's all positiveThat’s some great news. It’d going to give good opportunities to see some games and having the games also available on tv is great too. Fair play to their league and clubs for giving it a go.
The diddy clubs are just about getting over clubs from the Highlands taking "their" place in the Scottish Leagues, they won't be happy.Let the meltdown commence.
