I could be wrong but I think Livingston may have originated from them.

Are both they teams now Livingston Fc?
Im sure that Ferranti became Meadowbank and then Meadowbank became Livingston.

Feranti thistle became known as meadowbank thistle who then in the mid 90’s went on to become the Livingston club that we know of today.

Copland 5. Fife correct, I revisited it.
A club is allowed a maximum off 6 loans in plus an emergency goalkeeper

A maximum of 4 players on loan at any one time from another club in a different SPFLDivrsion Increased from 2.
This was changed 21/ 22.

Yeah John that was changed for C.V. so clubs could have bigger squads but thought it reverted back to normal mate.

correct, ferranti became meadowbank, who became livy, i played a friendly against them, strangely hercules the bear was in his cage at the side of the pitch, can’t remember what the game was for though.

Haha I watched a thing on you tube a few months ago all about Hercules the bear. I had never heard of him before that. Not a bad guard dog to have kicking about the house. It must have been fun for the folk on the island when he was on the loose for a few weeks. Was it a tv thing they were filming on one of the islands in the Hebrides and the big fella went walkabout.

who john, hercules . ? , andy robbins was his owner, a wrestler, with his missus, i was offered a cuddle with him, hercules not andy, , no chance, i was off and in a pub in possil before they had its cage opened,

big gregor was scarier though, a lovely guy actually.

If i was there tom i would have been racing you to the pub. Cuddle a grizzly bear or go to the pub, the pub wins every time for me. I just checked and big Hercules went for a walkabout when they using him to film an advert for Andrex toilet roll on the Isle of Uist. I hope they left plenty product for the locals because he was on the loose for 3 weeks and i know that i would be shi#ing myself until he was found.

I'm from clackmannanshire, Andy Robins used to own the Sherrifmuir Inn in the Ochil hills and herculean was there all the time, then moved out past Dollar, the bear had his own swimming pool. My uncle Tom used to deliver the post and Hercules would just be walking about the garden! Certainly would deter burglars ?.

John25, that leg break wouldn't have been in a Reserve Games at Ibrox, Rangers Reserves v Kilmarnock? A very reckless challenge by GS, I remember, one of the worst challenges I have ever seen, pretty sure that GS was given a straight red card!

Hercules was great, however Wojtek the war bear is the best if memory is right he became a corporal in the Polish army, died in Edinburgh zoo around early 60s after the War hard to believe but true .
