You’ve missed something. The OP reckons the roofs could be lowered during maintenance work. He/she reckoned the roofs don’t need to be as high as they are. Yes they do.

I think that we are all missing a trick here.

Instead of lowering the roof, why don't we raise the floor? 🤔 Simples!

I was thinking we build walls on the goaline that retract in and out the ground dependent on which way we're shooting.

Knowing us though we'd probably win the coin toss and change sides.

Anything… literally *anything*, to avoid roof, stadium or M&M chat…

Obviously we won’t know if it’s Airdrie or Alloa until tomorrow afternoon, but how are folk feeling going into the playoffs, what’s the mood? Optimistic; feel we’ll be able to turn some of our mid-season form back on when it matters? Pessimistic with our run of recent form and our record of bottling big occasions? Somewhere in the middle?

I fancy us. Have done from the start. The biggest test of the lot is Airdrie for me, but I think we squeeze past whoever we get.

Aye Arbroath but that's not going to happen as Cove aren't going to beat Morton.

Our biggest test will be Airdrie whether they secure 3rd or not.

Would have said Cove a few weeks ago as they were shipping goals for a laugh but now I'm not too fussed. Think it's most likely Hamilton as they're currently 9th and I fancy Arbroath to get at least a point in that game.

I am most definitely sitting on the fence (which needs to be lowered tbh). The pessimist in me still has the scars of too many clusterfucks, and the nagging fact that McGlynn has never come out on top in play offs regardless of the league plus him being stuck in the land of 4-2-3-1 which is tending to fail badly against 4-3-3 variations.

The optimist in me thinks we should have a fully rested squad, and that we will do no worse than draw the away game, and win the home game. That’s for the semi-final.

Then it’s back firmly on the fence for the final. Going out at any stage is bad, but going out to another L1 side would be disastrous imho.

As for “which Championship side”, then I really don’t care too much. Not through optimism though. Simply because that if we get there, then there is no doubt we would be able to beat them, but also there is no doubt that they will be well capable of beating us too.

Cove or Hamilton. 

Arbroath are at least organised.

Airdrie are the biggest hurdle if we get them. If we end up getting them in the semi and beating them then I think we'll go up.

I think Cove seeking to shut up shop (like at Dens Park last week) is a false impression really. They have to try and win a playoff and that would be a departure from their attempts to shore things up. I don't think the greaseball would be able to change tack effectively.
