The Spartans FC

Regulars on these pages in the earlier years of Affordable Football, The Spartans FC have continued to offer excellent value and facilities at Ainslie Park with the first team being just one part of a thriving community club.

And now there is a shot at the Scottish League as Spartans, winners of the Lowland League, prepare to take on Highland League champions Cove Rangers over two legs with the winners meeting the bottom club in League Two, Cowdenbeath, in a relegation/promotion play-off.

After Saturday's first leg, Spartans bring Cove back to Edinburgh on Tuesday 1 May with admission prices set at £10 Adults, £5 Concessions and free for Under 16's.

Whether Spartans go up or not, however, the Lowland League will continue the fine progress it has made since its inception in 2013 as part of a move towards a pyramid system in Scotland.

The league's Twitter account carried a lovely graphic earlier in the season showing the admission costs at all of its clubs and highlighting the good value football on offer.
