bit early to be having elgin above county buckett! i predicted all three of the other hl sfl clubs (??) to end up around division two eventually with us always the most likely to take off into the distance, im sure that was the sfl's plans when we were admitted to the pyramid system, it was the lower leagues that needed the boost at the time. when we entered the league i think it was st johnston who had the lowest premier league attendance the year before, at paltry 7,000 for the season, which was also behind the 10,000 seats rule.
even if we were in their position, i think we would still hold a decent support and easily full time football well into the future, dont think we'll ever go part time (though it was on the cards 4 years ago).
part of the reason i couldnt care less for how theyre getting on just now is the animosity shown in the other direction by the county fans, who for the most part genuinley want to see us relegated. its been the case for years, theyve always measured their own success to how theyre doing relative to us, i have that as the number one reason their crowds have fallen so sharply this past two seasons. in terms of being in competition with us theyve lost, county almost have to ask themselves now what is the point in their existence, for far too long theyve been looking over the bridge at their 'rivals'.
bit harsh on all county fans maybe but its true for a **** of alot of them, they have no idea where to go next.
