niktheblade1 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 I've just had Pollock from the Scottish junior leagues recommended as a feeder club, which I accepted, they have a squad of 61 players, surely that can't be correct? of which 0 were signed in game?

Still, though, these figures must be based on initial research. seems unlikely that small scottish teams such as this would have such massive squads. Has it been reported in the bugs forum?

SWaRFeGa Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I don't know if it's the Guards. The manager keeps buying free transfers, but hardly releases any players. July 2022 and the squad is just a bit big. All on £0 wage though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markcator3006 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I remember when managing Elgin City in Scottish Division 3, when trying to sign players Pollok were always interested in the same players and the players always chose them over me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

endtime Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 There's a team called KV in my Icelandic game. Each year they seem to exchange their entire player squad, on average 30 players leave and 30 players are signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Waddle Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hadn't ever noticed this before. I'll check this out later. Slightly off topic, I do know that IRL Cornwall Cricket Club in New Zealand have over 1,200 players on their books (amateur for all ages). I wouldn't fancy the job of organising their fixtures!

Cant place the name, even looked up the web site and as usual the picture was missing of the one guy you wanted to take a look at. I see he was there 95 so I might have known him. Central League Premier Division winners 1990-91, 1994-95, 1995-96 I’d have been there home and even most away. We were the top team. Remember DIVER, DANNY ELLIOT, Davie The king that was LOWRIE, Ronnie in goal. SPITTAL, Ian what a big lanky guy but gave 100% Shocking but without all the pics I cant remember anyone else.

borrheedlok Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 haha, well iain ashcroft is my dad, he was a centre half played with pollok from 95 - 98. played alongside ian spittal in defence. I was on the tv at both the cup finals with my dad at fir park, and both days i will remember for the rest of my life, excellent. Davie Elliot is my dads best friend, and Ronnie Lowrie was my p.e. teacher at school and also a good friend of my dad's. I still go and watch pollok at newlandfield when rangers are not at home, and its always good fun to go and see. looks as though the scottish cup is there for the taking this year as well, most of the bigger teams have been put out already.
