Money at that level does matter Kilwinning Rangers bought success in past as did Hurlford more recently it all falls apart when the sponsor pulls out thats why Talbot will always be the team to beat they have built a sustainable model over a long periodThe pie and bovril thread on them has been quite a laugh. Fair play to them for giving it a go but money doesn't guarantee you anything and at that level Talbot will still be the team to beat.

Is journalist who wrote the article the same one who wrote about the Linfield strips ?

A sugar daddy investing in an Ayrshire non senior club.
These things never end well.
Tax man came after themIrvine Meadow had money thrown at them about 12 years ago. Not sure what happened or why it dried up.
it ended in tears like it usually does with these sugar daddys,mob that were pumping money into medda went bust,same thing happened to buffs,Hurlford have had a shot at it as well although not bust yet.Irvine Meadow had money thrown at them about 12 years ago. Not sure what happened or why it dried up.
My big mate's a member and plays golf at Mar Hall and he canny get to use the practice area as Darvel have been using it since training was allowed back. He's fkn ragin. Pays over a grand a year and canny practice on a golf practice area cos there's a bunch of juniors kicking a baw all over it

Training at that level is not permitted yet. I'll pass this post on to the SFA and have them investigate it.My big mate's a member and plays golf at Mar Hall and he canny get to use the practice area as Darvel have been using it since training was allowed back.

I actually fancy them to topple Talbot and win it this season. The squad they are building is outrageous for that level.
You not backing John Black’s Drum team this year? They have taken best Amateur playing from the area and added an ex Pro to the ranks.
Let's lave the usual Juniors related bitterness aside and just discuss the topic in hand.

What happens if you are relegated from this new league do you go back to the old west prem or is that scrapped?
Theres a massive leap from the level that Drumchapel side were playing at to the top end of what used to be the juniors mate. Mind drumchapel aren't in the top league either but in the conferences below which will be very tough. I can't see them winning their conference.
Are they playing at the DD? Heard they were planning to build a stand.Drumchapel are in Conference C. Different league from Darvel.
Drumchapel will do well. Top 3 for certain in their league.
Will be great for the community if it takes off.

Who have they signed from the Ams? I heard they took a few boys from St Pats who are right good players. Kenny M from Darvel too.You not backing John Black’s Drum team this year? They have taken best Amateur playing from the area and added an ex Pro to the ranks.
Disagree Re massive leap. The top amateur sides Eastfield Bannockburn Harestanes Thorn Oban EKYM would be more than a match for Junior sides in that Division. Drum will hold there own under John Black Adam Hope and his team. Years ago there was a big gap. Not now. But it’s all about opinions. End of season results will prove who’s right.

You are correct mate but I don't see Drum as one of those top amateur sides. Very very good no doubt but not one of the top ones. They will do absolutely fine at that level but my response was in terms of competing with the top end teams. Miles off that imo.
What senior level teams aren’t allowed to train? Before you make an arse if yourself you do know that junior level teams are now all senior?Training at that level is not permitted yet. I'll pass this post on to the SFA and have them investigate it.
Cheers
