It’s my understanding that this is exactly what will be happening - 3 kits as normal this year and then a special one off released next year to mark the anniversary.
Any of the four released in time for the start of the season or are we dragging the current set out until October again?

Easton back to Airdrie

Thought I would be a lot more gutted to see Smith go. I thought he was enormously frustrating over the last three/six months. Sure he tried hard but always wanted to take an extra touch or beat a man a second time. As other have said probably about the right time he moved on and wish him all the best as he has been a good servant.

Think as a baseline we should be looking to go baws to the wall to keep Frizzell & McGill, and therein lies a decent framework to work with.

Liam Dawson would be my outside pick. Habitual water carrier for England and actually decent red ball form in the Championship.
Found it mental that Sky didn’t show any Blast games yesterday since the Ireland test ended early, albeit the YouTube streams from the counties is actually quite decent. But after all is that not what their “pod” is for? Hitching to the back of a Hilux and going to whatever game took their fancy? Or is it just further sticking of the Blast to the back burner to give The Hundred more publicity?

Was hoping club might’ve made public that we’ll be voting against the Conference League by now.

Lowland League (or B-Team Conference League) beckons.

Presumably contracts have officially expired today? Should we be expecting a retained list soon?

Hoping an ITK can let us know if the kits are coming on time this season.

Hamilton Midfielder there’s no other reason why he would of been down at the stadium
My sources say he was in paying for a block booking on the 5s pitches. False alarm, everyone.

Not long until we see someone on the Facebook Group suggest signing the likes of 'Kyle Connell' and 'Jordan Allan'

Anyone know what Liam Coogans or Liam Watt are up to these days?
Did think from a number of weeks back that Smith would probably be away, very much thought we could tempt Gabby into staying as he offers so much out wide, but as much as I think “let’s see”, we do have to be a bit ruthless this summer. Remember when we ended up in the First Division by default a week or two before the start of the season with a largely assembled Second Division team?
Don’t think I’ve seen a shout for Kai Kennedy over the last few pages, would be on the phone to secure his signature pronto. A player who has performed in the Championship for a few clubs. On the other wing, Connor Smith anyone?
Big few weeks coming up. Desperate to see a retained list, a link for season tickets and new strips.

3 year deal and money paid for a player, is something you do not often see at this level unless it’s Falkirk. Any idea what the fee is?

Through a visor of Tennents lager & chicken pakora I think I’ve just about managed to process yesterday’s events.
In 2012-13, we were relegated after a futile First Division campaign. We finished 12 points behind Dunfermline, who themselves had a 15 point deduction for administration, and a -48 goal difference. That summer, I moved down south and became as disconnected from the club as I ever had been.
Rollercoasters followed. Ownership changes (3, I think?), false dawns, charlatans on and off the pitch, journalists becoming CEOs, Willie Aitchison… every time we thought we’d reached our nadir and then something else would come and take us down another peg.
Ten years later and that has all been cast adrift. And what a match to define the previous decade. Dead, buried and deflated with a minute of normal time to go - same old Airdrie, so near but yet so far in the play-offs.
And then the goal. And then the penalties. And then the ecstasy.
Walking home in the rain last night, it was all worthwhile. Airdrie are great again.

Emergency loan right back.

Thought it was a very very nervy first half, clearly both sides not really wanting to be open. Sure enough took a moment of real good luck and a quality run and finish from Smith. Of course it wouldn’t be Airdrie without a red card and Janny obliges. All to play for on Saturday. Better be worth the £30 I’ve paid for me and my nephew.

Game over so frustrating we’ve gifted them all their goals. Annan are sh*t an all.
They look a level above you clowns, right enough.
Gibson still looked pretty useful for being 50 odd year old. Wonder where QOTS would’ve been I’ve he’d had played himself.

Can we have Easton on an emergency loan for the play-off final, please?

I was certain I'd seen a post from either the club or from Josh Rae earlier this season about him extending his deal for another year due to the club paying for his surgery
This seems to be the general consensus.
Train of thought that after 6 months on the sidelines & two red cards (one of which in the biggest match of the season) that he doesn’t merit that extra year, albeit that our best form has coincided with his longest run of appearances.
Jamieson looked assured yesterday and had a huge smile on his face at full time. I’d be more than happy having him involved in the squad in some capacity.

Genuinely, what is the point in these Falkirk TV interviews.
Had to switch off the Donaldson interview less than 1 and half minutes.
Pathetic stuff from Falkirk TV.
While 8.5 minutes of McGlynn’s flapping every week has been a highlight of the season, I do wonder why the club allow the media team to let the manager tie himself up in knots for as long a time as they do as it clearly does nothing but antagonise the fan base. And as for the questions that are asked, they’re nearly as bad as the daft bugger’s commentary.
Over the last few years I was always frustrated that we would see a maximum 90 second interview after the match but now I totally understand why.

Agree with this to be honest.
Apparently if we didn’t get Jamieson, Benjamin Siegrist was our other option.

Daft question - are trialists eligible in these games? I assume not?

Airdrieonians 23/24 Championship Thread♦️
in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Posted · Edited by Rhys McCabe Hype Train
The 2010-11 Surridge home & away tops were winners for me, and the home is the only one I’ve kept. Anything that has a collar like this and a bit of subtle trim on the shirt rather than diamond and white everything else.
Around this time was a proper existential crisis kit wise. Releasing a random Umbro red “away” kit in February and raiding the kit room for an old Diadora set to put a new sponsor on 2/3rds of the way through the next season particular highlights
EDIT: to be fair thinking back, it wasn’t just an existential crisis kit wise, it was a real struggle to keep a team on the park through this era.
