Transfering my account to an iOS 5.1 iPad

Hello guys,
I have my CoC account synced with my Game Center account with my iOS 7 iPhone.
I'd like to use it on my iOS 5.1 iPad (1st generation), but I'm being told that you cannot change your CoC account on an older than iOS 7 device.
So I tried to create another Game Center account on my iPad and then to link my CoC account to this GC account (with the code thing), but then it's said I can just sync it with my GC account, but I cannot do it since my iPad cannot go further than iOS 5.1.
So what can I do ?

Thanks for your answers.

None whatsoever.

Support would have to manually attach your device to your village, I don't know if they can / would / want.

Well you lose access to your village either way. It told me 1.) update available 2.) content your looking for is not available in U.S. store - reset my ipad redownloaded clash and the update downloads 3.) im not allowed to transfer my account to a device lower than ios 7.. so now im on my small iphone 4 playing atm waiting for them to enable the linking to lower ios devices... so either way i wasnt able to play on the ipad 1, now its a brick in my house

Try getting it back on an iOS 7/8 or an Android device !!
don't start off a new village, that would be horrible, at least I can play on my iPhone

download iExplorer, copy the Library folder from the ipad which is working... replace the folder in iPad 1..... same directory.. launch the game from game center, then it will ask if u want to load your previous village with THxx :)

do you think the library method can work with transferring from an iphone to an ipod?
