So are we allowed to start getting our hopes up? Had us down for relegation battle before the return of the Dobes. Exceeding expectations now though

Cheers for that. Interesting read. Did you make the football? Loved the food in Macedonia, only visited Skopje though so maybe a trip to Ohrid next time.

Cheers, nice wee surprise.

The unofficial QoS page

Any more news on this? Looks like my British Heart Foundation entry won the Executive Club Membership after a re-draw. That is unless someone else had named them too as their company. No contact as yet and I'll have to speak to my aunt to see if they'll accept the prize. Might be bureaucratic stuff I suppose. Anyway cool of Mr Rae to put the prize back in the pot. Will buy him a pint or 2 No response on fb so far

I'm sure I asked this last year but which stand is which? Is the Gates stand the Main Stand?

Well looking at the accounts for last season, we seem to be in decent financial shape. Well done to those that waived their loans, very fine gestures.

Cheers, will get my season book now

Which is the main stand? Rosefield Salvage? Just to be sure

Was looking forward to trips to Forfar and Arbroath the next two weeks Very little chance of going to a midweek away game.

Less than half of the number Davie Rae holds put together.

Well the BoD have shown more transparency than I was expecting. While there does seem to be quite a bit of glossing over, their anger at being put in the situation in the first place is something I completely agree with. I also feel there will be more twists and turns on the way too before the new season kicks off. The current board were applauded recently for maintaining full time football well before this vote was mooted but will have to work even harder now to dig themselves out of this hole. While I disagree with the decision, and tip my hat to Stranraer on their stand , at least there should be harmony between our ex Rangers’ player-manager, assistant and the BoD even if it has alienated a section of the support.

Agree with your view on the Annan statement. I've spoken to him at a few Scotland away games, really nice chap. Wish QoS could have the same transparency but I think they're hoping the vote remains behind closed doors. it's going to be a long day.

You missed entertaining, masochistic and very much needed. Discerning voices were not allowed to the point supporters meetings had to be held in the Emerald Park rather than Palmerston. At least Ally Mcleod was honest with the fans in his Q&A session. As for next year it looks like a decent squad is being assembled rather than the last minute panic of fitting square pegs into round holes that seems to have become common practice.

I've probably got them kicking about at my parents house. Not sure when I'll next be there though. Would a 20th (ish?) anniversary edition be too much to hope for?

My thoughts exactly. The youngsters should get more appearances as it is probably a better level for them to step up and not be completely overwhelmed. Just need Elgin to get promoted for an extra couple of awaydays.

Don't know who it was against but it would be early 80's got stuffed about 6 or 7-1. I think. Alan Ball in goal. Looking at the table my guess would be 82-83.

Cheers, cutting it tight. Probably arrived today

Since we're on about tickets, has everyone received their season tickets yet? I am due one after entering the shirt draw but nothing arrived.

And was it? It should have been. Anyway should it not always be the low setting that's used?

We had ours recently too, chicken curry. Chicken was perfect but the sauce was boggin'. Ended up just lobbing in loads of curry powder at the end to make it taste edible for that nights meal. The rest went in the bin Will try a Jalfrezi next time.

There's stovies on the canteen menu for tomorrow Slow cooker is going to be on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Will be making a chicked moussaka one day and beef olives the next.

Got some chicken on the go 4 chicken breasts grated ginger honey chicken stock Will see how it turns out. It smells good though.

We did beef olives yesterday, 5 1/2 hours with onions and carrots in the gravy. Was very nice.

Cooked the diced pork yesterday, 4 1/2 hours was plenty on low was very nice. Probably had too much water in to begin with though. Will know better next time.
