Brechin City - An Example Of Loyalty (Or Madness)
No English professional team has ever not won a game in a season and only Vale Of Leven in 1891-92 has "succeeded" in doing this. Despite offering cut-price tickets for their final game their attendance was just 661 - in the Scottish Championship too and this after they got promoted last season.
But no sackings at Brechin - the same man that took them up is still in charge to take them down too.

Sounds like they expected to go down but maybe not do quite so badly.0
-
Are they professional though? I thought that was why they had done so badly, they were up against teams who were fully professional.1

They are deemed professional because they are playing in a professional League. They are one of two Clubs in the division, who are run on a semi-pro basis in the sense that they train twice a week as opposed to every day - the other is, admittedly, the club that finished second bottom, Dumbarton. But they managed to get 30 points which is a big difference from no wins from 36 matches.rananegra said:Are they professional though?

Just looked them up, they got 445 for one game, but they're not even the worst supported side in the division. Dumbarton got 392 for one game!Addick Addict said:Played 36 Won 0 Drawn 4 Lost 32 For 20 Against 90 GD -70 Points 4

Apologies. Might have mistakenly flagged Covered Ends post. Then again, he might have deserved it.0

Not as bad as my team Cowdenbeath....they will lose the pay offs and be relegated....they survived them last year, after winning on penalties AET. If they fall they wont come back.1

My new second team. I’ve been following them since they lost 16-0 in December. They’ve had a run of form recently, getting a couple of draws.johnnyhumphrey said:Can't they play Fort William in a friendly -- P33 W 0 D 4 L 29 For28 Against181

Only difference is occasionally there will be one or two English games in L1 or L2 where there will be a bloke at the Stadium yet Jeff will still know about the likes of Rory McAllister (Peterhead) and will make a comment when he scores etc.0 -
Always my banker to lose every week, backed them to lose, for last couple of months and cant remember them letting me down.0

Bad management i am afraid. Yes I saw one match against Rangers that finished 0-0.ForeverAddickted said:

127 football league games get live coverage compared to 8 (eight) in the SPFL. SPL only has 60 but let's not let facts get in the way of a good moan.ForeverAddickted said:

Granted that Scottish games arent shown as often as English but then where do you go for Welsh games?0
