David Gold?

They just see us as customers. I have absolutely no time for the board

I've no big objection to them, most of the time they do a thankless job well IMO

It's poor, IIRC the last debate about it on Arbroath Mad ended with the club asking for volunteers to improve it

I think a lot of people seem to be looking at our signings and remembering their best games/ runs of form over their whole career and assuming that's the player we'll be getting turning up every week. If the Grehan and Coult of last season are what we're getting, then we're in serious trouble. If it's the Grehan/ Coult of the season prior, then we're in business.

The optimism of summer! Nice to get an assessment of a signing over and above the usual "good luck with that he's shyte"

He has been offered. Just be patient.

Sorry

Hope this is a statement of the standard of player we are trying to attract to the club. Was at Tinks Park yesterday and the nerves were certainly jangling when Brora made ir 1-1. Never want to see us in that position. C'MON LICHTIES

Nor me!

A season fannying about with some of the plodders in the Highland League can have an adverse effect on performance levels, in all fairness. In relative terms, look at some of the Rangers players, the likes of Wallace and Templeton particularly.

It should be a good signing though, if we could get Liam Gordon and keep Ricky Little, that would be 3 very decent centre halves.

Hopefully be fine, a year in the Fife juniors didn't have an adverse effect on Bobby Linn.

Aye and when some Gayfielders didn't rate Swankie

Easy to have a dig at the club but signing the injured and injury prone is risky no?

How can they be voted off if only a select few allowed into AGM everything I've heard recently doesn't look very good for our club.

Shareholders are admitted to the AGM. If I understood the secretary correctly then a minimum investment of £100 will buy someone the shares that will permit them to attend.

Never realised that, not being a Facebook-ist. I'd agree that's potentially a big problem.

We're in possession of very few of the facts re McManus. Very hard to gauge the rights and wrongs. I hope he recovers and gets a team tho.

Lumsdens got it on purely being a likeable guy it would seem

Wouldn't say purely that. Likely the 20 year career playing, assisting, managing and the UEFA A licence helped tae.

Loving Alan Moore s comments in today's Sun,"If i d said to the Arbroath fans in the summer we ll get you into the playoffs they would probably have bitten our hand off.But because we were up at top of the league for so long and aren t now,it s all doom and gloom now."

Alternatively, largely by mismanagement and poor recruitment, we've turned a potential Championship into a battle for a play off place which, on current form, we can't possibly win.
