Edinburgh City
Description
51. Edinburgh City
We're joined by Edinburgh City season ticket holder and supporters' club member Ally Moncrieff to talk about the club's interesting off-field activity over the last few years which is akin to a BBC soap opera.
In 2019, the owners of Edinburgh City circulated a marketing document with the hashtag #FCEdinburgh mysteriously plastered all over it.
Fast forward to 2022 and the club confirmed it had changed their name to FC Edinburgh to attract 'European interest'.
Coupled with a disastrous new stadium, financial catastrophe and a points deduction, its certainly been a rollercoaster for Edinburgh City fans over the last few years. As the club lurched from one catastrophe to another, Ally tells us how this impacted supporter identity and feeling towards the club during one of the lowest points of their history.
