Letham are planning for a fresh and exciting chapter after submitting an application to join the East of Scotland Football League.
The Seven Acres club, a real force of the Perthshire amateur game, feel the time is right to seek new challenges and opportunities.
Despite being out of competitive action for four months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Letham’s management team and committee have been working hard in the background to plan for the future.
Coach Scott McGoldrick said: “We’ve had some great times over the last decade.
“We need to create a structure at the club which enables youth players to develop through to our own senior side.
“It would mean that youth players can remain with the club, rather than playing for the amateurs for a couple of years and then thinking there is no more progression. It’s the whole bigger picture of the club that we’re looking at.
“A lot of our players have their own wee boys and girls who are playing football. In 10 or 15 years time, what is to say that one of their kids isn’t playing for the senior team?
“We will still have an amateur team, hopefully the senior team and then all of the youth and girls football. I think we’d have a great structure.”
As well as proving to be a dominant force in the Perthshire Amateur League, Letham also won the North of Tay Cup in season 2016/17.
If accepted into the East of Scotland League, they would join Premier Division Jeanfield Swifts and Conference B sides Kinnoull and Luncarty.
“The vast majority of the squad are 1000 per cent behind this,” McGoldrick added.
“We don’t know what the decision is going to be but the ambition is to have a fresh, new challenge playing against different teams.
“We’re happy with the squad we’ve got but know, if accepted, we would need to bring in some experienced players at that level.
“The gaffer will have his own opinion on that and who he would want to bring in. We hope it can be an exciting new journey.”
