Oh, for the big-city sponsors and the clout of a Trust like Edinburgh's giving their promotion over £100,000 since 2015 (to quote last night's programme). At Berwick, with only 10% of the population the city clubs around them enjoy in their catchment area, the various promotions have done wonders to keeping the club alive for fifty years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't just the low population, Berwick does not have the wealthy businesses to draw on either. In the lat 10 years there seems to have been a problem with inclusiveness as well.
