With the exception of Agnew & Meggatt this squad of players have been assembled on the cheap. If you’d told any Fife fan 2 months ago that we’d be signing players from a relegated Albion Rovers, a player from an EoS team, a player who couldn’t get a game for a struggling Forfar team, a keeper who was unimpressive with Elgin, a distanced 3rd place League 2 Stenhousmuir Player & an untested raw reserve Raith player as 1st choice striker the Fife fans should’ve been furious but we’ve had comments of ‘excellent signings’ & ‘really happy with our transfer dealings’. This squad may well gel & work great as a unit but the majority of signings finished below us in the League. The players we retained I’d say Dunsmore Docherty & Linton are good enough, Watson & Kane are woeful with the ball at feet & are at best bench warmers. Young’s tactics, formations & ability to eradicate errors will be well scrutinised this season. Hopefully I’m wrong but I see a relegation assembled team here.

As I predicted earlier this morning , hopefully still room for an experienced striker although wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Shagger

An excellent use of our weakness of only having 1 striker, a long season ahead for Court.

Usually a squads budget is determined by how many players you release & how many you bring in. This seasons budget has been increased by over £35k due money saved on pitch maintenance, Raith staying in our League , Raith using Bayview for friendlies & cup ties. The money was correctly not used IMO on 37 yr old Derek Lyle but Young has to weigh up whether to use this money on 2 or 3 part time players or 1 ex full time player & loan players. Expect some transfer dealings soon !

Hospitality booked for away cup game v St Johnstone, £35 [emoji1303] excellent value to see the Fife versus a Premiership team

Id like to think those who are taking the piss out of him don’t actually know anything about the lad , if they do know him & are still taking the piss then they’re just scum. Colin has a great passion for football & especially East Fife. Have a wee think fellow forum fans about what we’re subtly telling you.

There’s a large number of fans now preferring to pay at the gate, if the standard of football or results are poor then usually they’ll be selective during the winter months or nearer the end of the season as was evident in the home attendance figures during March/April. Attending 15 Home games (pay at the gate) = £225

1 of the best highlight packages in the country & great work by those who do it but EFTV “is running at a loss “ & relies “heavily on financial input from the club “ Not having a dig at anyone involved but wouldn’t it be better to have a more basic TV service that’s more cost effective.

Totally agree, the East Fife Mails sister paper Fife Free Press has an in-depth interview with Raith Rovers owner who has stated a 10yr vision regarding the squad, fans,stadium ,new pitch & the revenue this will generate. Will East Fife’s owner do the same ?

Etxabeguren & Piggott released by Dundee

I wouldn’t be 100% sure on Page being at Bayview come the start of the season

He doesn’t play for Brechin now

Brechin have released goalkeeper Graeme Smith

Is it still Graeme Mackay that does EFTV but under the name Aarcan Media ?
