Tom Stronach Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Mercy! What happened to the grand scheme to get an EK team into the SFL? Any idea, Gimp? This has nothing to do with East Kilbride Thistle. Two local businessmen (the Kean brothers) along with sports journalist Ian King, have created a new club - East Kilbride Football Club. They have teams at all age groups and they have recently been given planning permission to build new training facilites at Calderglen Country Park. Their ultimate aim is to have a professional team in the SFL within a few years. Ian King was quoted as saying he believes it could be as soon as the next three years. The whole thing stinks to me, but only time will tell I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are some kind of construction company. They have nothing to do with EK Thistle, they are the ones backing the new East Kilbride club. Shame to see the wee Jags go under.

Tom Stronach Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Personally, I'm glad EK Thistle told them where to go. EK Thistle live within their means and don't have ideas above their station. I don't think Scottish football really needs another ridiculous Livingston or Gretna type club. East Kilbride may be the largest town in Scotland without a senior football club, but like most other towns nearby, the place is infested with Old Firm supporting scumbags. Most of whom, have never been to a game in their life. What makes people think they would suddenly start paying to see a new team? I also believe that the Kean's and especially Ian King, are purely in it for personal gain. Anyone who has lived in East Kilbride recently must know that the aforementioned gentlemen crave publicity. King in particular is always shouting his mouth off in the papers, dismissing the achievements and history of established and well respected Scottish clubs. He's living in a fantasy world if he honestly believes that this new club would offer much to Scottish Football in the grand scheme of things. This new club is bad news for East Kilbride and Scottish Football in my opinion. Sadly, with the local councilors rapped around the fingers of the Kean brothers, I can only see this club going from strength to strength. I fear for the future of East Kilbride Thistle.

sigesige00 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I think that the SFL should be enlarged to 48 teams (16 teams*3 Divisions). And the relegation from the SFL should also be introduced. Many good teams, like Cove Rangers, Buckie Thistle, Spartan, Edinburgh City, East Kilbride Thistle, and even Wick Academy might play in the SFL.

JobbyMahoney Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I smell shite Bit on Newsnight Scotland about the Keans and our MP. Most of it has been in thelocal press for a while now. If there's anybody out there that doesnt think this smells ofshite, may I point them to theSt James Retail Centre in Hairmyres. Won a Carbuncle for worst new Scottish building. Bright yellow, Mediterennan style shopping precinct. No probs with the planners there!! Oh, and Mr McCann had his election office next door, rent free, from Mr Kean too. Hmmm.

That building is the biggest embarrassment in East Kilbride (which is no mean feat). I believe the Kean's were also responsible for building the monstrosity that is The Byre. I've never set foot in such a hideously over-priced and pretentious pub in my life. I'd grudge paying the prices they charge in there in Central London. In fact, that whole area is a complete embrassment to the Town. It's ridiculously out of place and looks completly artificial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EK's completely artificial!! Byre is a G1 pub, nowt to do with the Keans. Have to disagree about it being pretentious as well. I'd rather go there than run the gauntlet of the town centre or the old mans gaff round the corner!
