I'm the same I was on 2 till 10 .I was actually expecting the "Why we're nt you there brigade " having a go when I asked if there was any gossip.I agree perfect opportunity , if i wasnt on backshift this week i would have been there to hear what Darrens thoughts were on the season ahead. If you have any news from said meeting then please share. I wont be near the Glebe till the Dundee friendly next Friday night where i will renew my season ticket.
All I got was a story about my mum working at the Northern [emoji23][emoji23]1 -
Any hot gossip from tonight s get together

Ha ha I would ve went to Bank St [emoji5]... I'm keeping hush because it could be and likely will be the biggest let down when he does nt come .Our training sessions Are pretty ? [emoji23]. Oh who was that ?0 -
It's all too quiet .Usually hear snippets about pretty season training sessions. I heard one revelation last weekend about a potential loan signing which would be the mother of all loan signings but I just can't see us pulling it off . If players have nt signed yet then [emoji112] they obviously don't want to be here .Ah ok thanks. Dosnt surprise me about Fin thought he would maybe have other offers or would be looking to move on Dods seemed,to like dropping him for no real reason0 -
Yep and I ve been there helpingI have found the mood in the club to be a lot more positive than some folk make out. Having been involved with the club in various ways over the years I would say that constant bitching does nothing but harm to the club and the enthusiasm from those giving their time soon turns into a grudging duty. We can all have our opinions but surely it is better to try and work together and talk things over . Much more can be gained from people all pulling in the same direction.
The club are currently doing a mass tidy up at the glebe including painting , replacing broken seats etc. and are keen for volunteers to help out. It is a fine chance for folk to get together and have a bit of chat and banter while helping the club. Ken and other committee members are usually there and are quite approachable in this relaxed environment. Sometimes it helps if folk make a bit of an effort themselves instead of always being on the offensive.

I think they re are folk who d love to join committee but it's Ken s type of person or no one that gets on . He has to move with times and young Robert Black's the perfect type . Your right though Birsey [emoji23][emoji23]Well you have the perfect opportunity coming up to put all these points to him and see what he and the rest has to say, as I said I am not a fan of some short coming with the committee but I do not see people clambering to get on the committee when as this year members come up for retirement. Been there and worked with both David Will & Dave Birse both as you say gentlemen and Ken probably could learn a bit from them he certainly could learn fae Dave how to hold his drink[emoji38]

In all honesty I don't think it's Kens commitment that's being questioned. I think it's his manner towards the average City Fan .Whilst you are clearly a trolling halfwit I must reply to your comment about Ken Ferguson, he has given a huge chunk of his life to Brechin City and is a Brechin supporter thru and thru and without people like him through out the years Brechin City would not exist. I do not agree with everything that happens in the boardroom but no one should doubt his passion & commitment to Brechin, why not offer your help instead of trolling away your time on here. I am currently winding down to retirement and hope that next year I can offer some of my time to help out the hard working committee at Brechin. Mon the City
All he has to do is look at his predecessor s Messrs Will, Birse , etc and realise that a polite hello or thank you would make a world of difference.
Instead he seems to have an uncanny knack of driving folk away with his ( I'm so much better than you persona )
I know folk will criticise me for this but it's true ! unless your in Kens clique he s not interested in what you ve got to offer .
He's driven away a lot of potential sponsors and helpers over the years .
But he s chairman and he does give up his time and family life and for that we re grateful .0 -
Onto the season ahead not the best set of fixture s The usual away match first then our 3 derby games all away too .Very hard start to season .

90 % of us accepted our position . How many City games did you attend last season ? We would have won games had he tweaked his ultra defensive tactics . He's won 3 out of 18 cup games in his time with us .I'm happy to back him but a poor start and alarm bells will be ringing .
1 -
Well I'd give him the Betfred Cup and if we don't win a game in that . I d say his days should be numbered before our season fall s away . But club have backed him so we should too in the mean timeWhat's the point when Dodds has a free ride.

Not much happening at all . No much motivation to buy season tickets . Heard on Friday night Brechin City not sending any representative to City youth s gala day next week end .That s the side of the club that I find poor.

I'm not arguing just saying what I was toldBut a major bonus when the last game against St Mirren was a potential league winner for them. That more than offset any reduction in numbers against Dunfy or Arabs.

You won t find me arguing with that statement. In fact the signings were worse in some cases than guys who won promotion .
Players wages jumped up, really, you took a league 1 squad into the championship, the results proved this, get the stewarding and unfortunate fixture timing, but if some of these players last season were on higher wages than the season before, the person who agreed to this needs to be put in a cage at the roundabout outside Mackie Motors, so people can come and visit and have a right good laugh1 -
Na £10000 a man to beat Buckie honest [emoji56][emoji56]But must have been big savings with no win bonuses being paid out[emoji38]

As Hedgie says plus security ( stewarding ) cost s a whack every week . ( forgive the pun [emoji109]). Plus they are disappointed about Dunfermline and Dundee Utd games being mid week that cost club a good few thousands . Plus players wages jumped up .
Must have made a few quid last season, surely
But we re far better off than we would ve been I guess.0 -
Having spoken to a few committee guys recently I don t think money situs as rosey as we d all think so maybe justified at keeping prices as they were . We ve been cheep in recent years

Has he filled out ? I always thought he was a decent player . Ah well it was an option .
Needing strikers though .0 -
I'd sign Barr and McCord 2 decent players and Barr speaks highly of City on the pod cast thingy

Put it this way, I’m glad you guys have your own thread this season.
oooohhhh is no one speaking to you [emoji47]0 -
Just lulling everyone into a false sense of security over them 20 odd years.
Still at least you won a title this millennium as have Brechin and ourselves.
We ve more titles than the Prince Of Wales [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
But by f**k this season s takes the biscuit .1 -
We have Pat Scullion. Can’t see anything other than thousands coming with statements of intent like that. The sleeping giant has awoken.
Is that the wee guy from Morton looks like him off of Fantasy Island ????

Your right, surely it's time for the other 3 to stand on their own feet
I ve yet to experience this massive DD11 support as we re always a league above them ( playing fucking pish but a league above all the same ) .0 -
Exactly, if you don’t have a decent team then that’s your own fault, plenty of dough.
And they would be correct, everyone knows that if you want to join the big team in Angus you have to prove yourself at the diddy clubs. See ToB and Danny Denholm.
All players not good enough for us can go elsewhere, Montrose won the league with a team full of our cast offs (Callaghan/Watson/Masson/Redman and Flemming) under a manager who’s sole aim was to prove he is good enough to step into DCs shoes when he hangs up the Bunnet.
This is just the reality of things in this County my friend. [emoji12]
