Buckie Thistle boss Graeme Stewart thinks the Highland League failed to exploit their “unique position” and trial summer football. There’s been the pandemic and we’re a unique position, in the Highland League, where we could’ve held off and started again in May or June – played games, finished the mini-season and trialled summer football. “A lot of people have been saying it could be the future of the Highland League and Junior football, even Scottish football – but that’s a different argument. “We’ve never been in this position before and I can’t understand why people who have the Highland League at heart can’t see it’s a good idea. If fans can come back then, get them back in the summer, because the players and fans have missed enough football already.”
