Dondarrion 41 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What's this I'm hearing on Talk Sport Shite, that Motherwell fans are trying to fund their own club from scratch, or did I hear that wrong? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,241 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 This is the gist of the nonsense: Fraser Ewing or Ewing Fraser or somebody with Ewing in his name runs Edusport FC in the Lowland League but he wants to convert it into a football club owned by fans, run by fans, for the fans subscribing annually at a fixed rate of £25 per head. Claims 200 members since yesterday’s launch. Didn’t actually say where they would play. Motherwell was mentioned but not necessarily as the venue. Anyway, most of the fans will be online which conjures up an image of an empty stadium so that conforms to at least one criterion of Scottish football. The club will rocket up the leagues and into Europe. A great alternative to Rangers and celtic. I thought there were already a good number of alternatives, all of them rubbish but never mind that. At least the few who support the existing alternatives are loyal to them and I can’t see dozens of Jags, Airdrie, HubzanHertz, Dundee, Raith, etc fans abandoning their allegiances for new entity. White was bubblng with enthusiasm for this great new idea. The other guy was doubtful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Really no different to Ebbsfleet in England then.... aside from the fact Ebbsfleet is actually IN the English structure and has facilities already being used. How would this new team obtain a Scottish license ? Other entities looking to gain entry to the professional structure would have much to say about it I would have thought. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,241 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The geezer is Chris Ewing and his club’s already in the Lowland League so he’ll graft his new project on to it. But where are all these supporters coming from? There are too many clubs already playing in front of handfuls. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
