Apologies if I’ve missed this through this thread, but what is minimum percentage of votes required for this to go through?

My mate and I went to a Beith game this season when a Stirling game was called off and mentioned at the time that Fowler could probably go up at least 1 if not 2 levels. He looks quick and clinical. Believe he was given a 3 year deal at Beith this season if I’m not mistaken

I’m not sure if this resonates with anyone else but I felt that the euphoria of the last minute winner on Saturday knocked the stuffing out of the support a bit. That for me felt like the moment we won the league. Also, there isn’t a “singing section” at Stirling, but the folk that are likely to sing were split up across the stand - I think there’s something in that too. I really don’t understand some Dumbarton fans confused at why we didn’t celebrate more last night. Yes, we all but won the league but we also mathematically didn’t win the league. The prospect of winning it at home now - which I believe we’ve never done before - is very appealing. I think the P&B bubble can be weird sometimes and I think there is a perception amongst Dumbarton fans that there’s some sort of hatred for Dumbarton amongst us. I genuinely don’t think there is and I think that’s also why folk weren’t “getting it right up ye” last night. Given the circumstances surrounding this fixture, every interaction I’ve had with Dumbarton fans on the 40 times I’ve made the trip this season has been decent. I wish yous all the best in the play-offs but also wouldn’t be upset if I don’t have to go to the Rock again for a few seasons

Best of luck with that loser

We’ve definitely been more fortunate than most but I wouldn’t say we’ve been completely void of injuries. Jack leitch was out for a good few months, Cummings has now been out for a few weeks now, Davidson was out for a while at the beginning of the season, Cooper has been fit for about a month this whole season and, not an injury but we lost out best player in Fotheringham in January. That being said, Paul McLean, Carrick, Thompson, McGeachie and Currie being fit for the majority of the season has been key

I’d be absolutely spewing if I’m an Elgin fan tonight. Shocker from the binos. 3 points, up the road

Yeah agree with you for the most part regarding Carrick, Thompson and Currie. But it’s more guys like Spence / Davidson / Mcgregor that I’d be a bit more concerned about. McGregor is wildly inconsistent, Spence has done an okay job as a squad player but I’m not sure I agree with giving jobbing squad players 2 year deals and Davidson has been okay in parts but still not excellent. At this level I’d expect 2 year deals to be going out to guys that have been performing well for a long period of time - these guys haven’t. As long as the 2 year contracts stop there I’ll be satisfied

As much as it’s good signing up the spine of a good team, we probably need to watch what we’re doing with the 2 year contracts. How often have we seen guys at this level have 1 good season and that’s it. Would hate for us to be in a position where we’re stuck with 3/4 players on 2 year contracts that aren’t performing

I hope he’s still talking about how we almost got beat on Saturday. He seemed quite obsessed in his post-match

Scrap all of this then. Dumbarton are playing Forfar on the Wednesday night. Dumbarton twitter admin is on fire today

I mean, given how much rain and snow the west coast has had the past day or so, it makes sense that this game is called off and the communication from Dumbarton has been much better 3rd time around. I struggle to see when this game is going to get played other than waiting until the middle of April or the Wednesday 29th. The game on the 25th is going ahead on the same day as Scotland vs Cyprus. I appreciate that this is at our bit but I think the statement the Albion put out about it was pretty fair if not a wee bit self-serving. But who isn't in league 2 eh I'd hope the 2 clubs wouldn't agree to play this return fixture on the day of ANOTHER Scotland game on the 28th - with Scotland vs Spain happening that night. I'm talking extremely selfishly here because I go to both Stirling and Scotland games - but it would be a real shame to have to make the choice between the Scotland games or the Stirling vs Dumbarton fixtures given what's at stake.

I live in Greenock and can see the rock so I’ve been on Rock watch all morning. Snow is coming down in sheets. I’d say if this keeps up for any length of time we’re humped. To be fair I’d have exactly the same opinion as you if this was Forthbank. But if the pitch is playable the pitch is playable. Doubt many Stirling fans could care less about preserving it for your game on Saturday

Next Tuesday it is. Fair play to Dumbarton for reducing the entry. the weather forecast still isn’t looking great into next week. If any of the decision makers at Dumbarton are looking at this thread, goan just call the game off in the afternoon if it’s doubtful so I don’t have to find out the games off in the Stags Head again

Ah yes, no pitch inspection required. Who’s. Bricking. It. Noo

Can’t see anyway this game is going to be on. Meant to be sunny today which might thaw it out normally - but that big stupid boulder will probably block it out all day
