glasgow sheep Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 Never even heard of Leith Athletic Tut tut Have reformed recently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leith_Athletic_F.C. 2nd Div Champs 1906 (failed election to 1st Div) 2nd Div Champs 1910 (failed election to 1st Div) 3rd Div Champs 1926 (failed election to 1st Div) 2nd Div Champs 1930 (promoted) The C Divisions were made up largely of reserve teams and Leith campaigned for the non-reserve teams to be included in the Second Division. They were not successful and were expelled in August 1953 when they refused to play any more fixtures in Division C.[1] It was too late for the club to join another competition and the club went out of business in 1955. In a supreme irony, the two C Divisions were abandoned that summer and, just as Leith had wanted, the non-reserve sides were admitted to the Second Division. Quote
maverick sheep Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Definitely my favourite team from Edinburgh. Quote

Jute Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Never even heard of Leith Athletic Currently playing in division 1 of the East of Scotland League. Got relegated from the premier last year. Play at Telford College playing fields in Muirhouse although they have long terms to move back to Leith Links. Quote
RDU_64 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 I'm in tonight. Weather not too cold so it's a help. Don't feel right saying it but I hope Broon gives Fraser a rest tonight. Would like to see Hayes play from the start as he's been impressive since the start of the season and has been unlucky given the form of Fraser and McGinn since he came back from injury has prevented him from starting. Hayes is more than capable of providing the same sort of flair and creativity that Fraser provides and it does the squad no harm to rotate things a bit. I don't think it would do any harm in protecting Fraser by giving him a bit of a rest either. Quote
tlg1903 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 agreed al, Hayes is a great player. It's so nice to have competition for the wings Quote
glasgow sheep Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 Team: Langfield, Reynolds, Robertson, Anderson, Rae, Osbourne, Magennis, Hughes, Vernon, McGinn, Hayes Subs: Rogers, Clark, Naysmith, Fraser, Smith, Quote
