Great video as always Sam. Would be interested to see a video about the number of fully professional teams and number of semi-professional teams there are in Scotland, and the breakdown by league going down the pyramid. And how it is for amateur teams playing against semi-pro teams or semi-pro vs. pro, and if teams that drop down tiers are able to stay pro or semi-pro or ever revert to being amateur.
Well in the SPFL all Premiership and most of the Championship teams are full-time professional, the others and some in League 1 will be hybrid and the rest part-time. Everyone else in the pyramid is part-time but with varying amounts of money being paid to players from the bigger Lowland, East and West clubs right down to the smaller clubs paying nothing or just expenses.
Should come to Bellshill Sam, a club who’s ground burned down and where they are now is incredible. I’m a coach n the academy and that’s growing from strength to strength
Another great vid Sam. Not so sure about the eye-wear at the end though 🤣 Another team who originated from a football Academy fairly recently are Caledonian Braves, who were "Edusport Academy" before they were promoted to the Lowland League. Think you actually did a video on them a while back, so you obviously know that already 😁
Nice 😅 So, four promotions so far 😊 Go Nairn county on Saturday if you can 😮 They win the north of Scottish cup against Ross county last weekend which made Ross County sack their manager 😅
Another great one Sam. It is great to see success stories like this one and also the dedication of people who just love the game.
Last time I was this early Aaron Mooy still had a fringe.
Going to Gartcairn on Saturday. Looking forward to it
The acadamy / club has clearly had some good investment to get it up and running. Looks like a cracking place to train and play.
Keep them coming Sam, love your content 🤌
Great video Sam! Loved being there yesterday! Great experience.
Another entertaining video.
Excellent work as always!
Thanks again!
Sam is a man of the people, who say "aye" and eat square sausage. 🤜🤛
Lovely club ! Keep it up, young fans 👍🏻

I was absolutely pestering Sam at one point to go to caley braves a couple of seasons ago. Great set up there. I know someone who worked there
Played against Gartcairn in the Scottish Junior cup, good side. The only astro pitch I've ever seen with a slope side to side!
Aww the scoreboard at this level is glorious 😂😂😂😂😂
Haha can’t beat a manual score board!
@@FootyAdventures it's class 🤣🤣🤣
Great video, but I want a pair of those glasses!
These remind me of a Scottish version of Stockton Town the club I am involved with.
Watched a youth club team (prudhoe) play on Friday 330 there decent game great occasion
Think I've just found potentially a great fm24 save here 😂
Food? Is my favourite part lol
