There’s a few announcements posted now

Hopefully a teamsheet will be published tonight giving a few more details of playing squad

Glad somebody said it

EOS players apparently

Not heard anything although dean was keen to bring him back as hibs are releasing him

Lee Wallace was a boyhood hibs fan

Darren smith now away, disappointing. RE the financial stuff, only what has been said by others, not my personal opinions etc

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]didn’t even think of that when making account, no idea tbh but from what I was told a lot of money was spent, biggest budget ever for the club. Still don’t think he should have been sacked however

Also spent far more than he was supposed to, hence the player of the year awards being held at the club as opposed to elsewhere (where it’s been every other season)

Do you think they’ll publish any details?

He’ll be nowhere near netherdale anyway, shows maybe once a season.

Official announcement of Hastings either tonight or tomorrow.

Different to Selkirk situation in that the club doesn’t have large debts, so doubt that kind of thing however the team that is assembled will almost certainly struggle in the league

Ricky miller, Reece Donaldson and Sandy Cunningham are all definitely away, along with Ryan Stevenson (although he is still in a protective boot so perhaps not a huge loss)

Local players playing for the club is definitely a good idea but in practice I’m not sure that the best local players are good enough to survive in the LL. We signed two of the better local based boys in Phil Addison and Tommy Paterson but beyond that I’m not sure what there really is. Previous posters have hit the nail on the head with regards to the local amateur leagues, with most of the better players there probably not wanting to step up to LL

I’m sure their hard work won’t have went unnoticed, sure something will come up for them soon enough

Tbh the new chairman has been moaning about ‘the style of play’ for a long while even before he took charge and it seems like he’s been planning this.

Think the decision itself and the fallout as a result of it will be looked back on at the end of season as a huge huge mistake by all at the club.
