Ian, I meant no criticism of Stepps or your team, new teams have to start at the bottom, I
can remember Strathclyde University playing in Glasgow Div 6 with a team that went on
to win Div 1 , more recently Paisley have just done the same from Div 4. I just feel sorry
for small club teams whose desire for promotion is really dashed before a match is played.

No criticism taken! =) As you say, we all gotta start somewhere. As for desires for promotion being dashed, I've always seen lower v higher rated clashes as an opportunity for the lower rated player/team to show what they can do. The rd 1 & 2 scorelines might suggest an easy ride for the higher-rated sides; that was not the case!
