Apparently it's three from Formartine United, Turriff United, Banks o? Dee and Strathspey Thistle that'll get through. I'd imagine Strathspey will be a shoe-in with Elgin having left. Maybe Banks o'Dee to involve Aberdeen? So Turra' or Ellon?

Maybe Fort William will have a chance of getting off the bottom if this happens!

Get Inverness City in and then there will be an Inverness derby again.... :rotflmao:

Whatever happens those from Fort William and Wick will have some extra long journey's in buses....

I mind being more thna a little hacked off when Cove got in all those years back. Since when has Aberdeen been in the Highlands, and with 3 of those four well East, that is likely to get more so.

Does no-one west of the Glen play football?

Geologically the area where Aberdeen lies has been in the Highlands for thousands of years. SEE HERE

The Highland Boundary Fault (HBF) which traverses Scotland from Stonehaven to Arran, is in most places only identifiable by the change in topography - from highlands to the northwest and lowlands to the southeast. However, Loch Lomond is one of the sites where the fault can be distinguished more readily, in particular at Conic Hill and on the islands of Inchcailloch, Torrinch, Creinch and Inchmurrin. It is also a site where the Highland Border Complex, a thin sliver of unmetamorphosed sediments that lies between the Dalradian highlands and Devonian lowlands, is well exposed.

Banks o dee will do well in the highland league if they get given the chance.. got a really strong squad and would show a few teams up!

I believe that if three clubs got in there was going to be split league so there'd be fewer trips to the East Coast for them. Anyone know when the decision is made?

The three clubs voted in apparently, are:-

Formartine United

Strathspey Thistle

Turriff United

Well done Strathspey Thistle from Grantown, it's taken a long time to happen, but the lads are in now.

Maybe a 'superhero' that's more local?

She has made a bob or two in Hollywood, and will hopefully be set for life for income from appearances at ComiCon or similar etc after both Dr Who, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers appearances, not to mention Jumanji and the forthcoming Highlander remake. She likely has a few friends in the business with pots of cash (The Rock? Dave Bautista? Jack Black? Henry Cavill?) and more importantly seems to value her Scottish and Highland roots and is a big supporter of Mikeys Line as well....
... and she likes football

Just bought the away kit (and assuming the home one will be sized the same), I'd recommend treating it like you would Erreà, by going a size, maybe two, up. And, like the Erreà kits, the sponsor is actually part of the fabric, so you won't need to worry about anything getting sticky and ruined by the wash
That said, the new shop looks really nice and theres a load of room to move around now, rather than having to squeeze past each other. Only downside is there's only one fitting room, so you could be waiting a while if you are also indecisive on whether to go one size up or two.

I agree and understand the consolidation point. I know most supporters don’t give a toss, however I will add we also need a succession plan in place ie 3 and 5 year framework. If we are to limit or mitigate catastrophic cliff edges (of past yore), then this subject should be on the Boards agenda. If they act like the past and think that’s for the next Owner and CEO, then we’ve learned ZIP.
On field activities and success or failure run hand in hand with the off field ones. AS has and is doing his bit (within the limits of the budget (+ emergency pot)) he has set himself. A two or three year run in the CHPS would better the club’s position for better outside investment.
Avoiding relegation this season must be the priority. Anything else could put us back more than I care to consider.
Just putting it out there as I feel it’s relevant.

For me, this season is about staying in the Championship, so I see anything better than 8th as a bonus.
We’ve a tough start, playing the three teams that made the play offs last season, and could easily find ourselves at the wrong end of the table.
It’s hard to know what teams will be strong, but if we can finish above two of Morton, Queens Park and Stenhousemuir, we will have maintained our place in the Championship.
Let’s all go into the season with realistic expectations and knowing that it’s going to be hard.
