Big chungus Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 So if we have a squad of 18 with 2-3 new signings coming in, let’s say that’s tait, goalkeeper and a Cb. That would leave us with a squad of 21. Let’s also say you can get rid of Allan. That should allow for another one to be brought in? And hopefully with the good news of season tickets sale we should be able to stretch to another. What other position should we strengthen? Allan for another striker? Then either sign Ross or his replacement? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I think the fans will be patient. I'd imagine McGlynn is treating the goal of winning the league the exact same way as when he first arrived at the club. It will be a two year project, it's very difficult to do back to back promotions, especially with the Premiership play-off format. Hopefully we can have a positive season though and keep building momentum and optimism for 2025 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK to compete with Hogarth, Stone Hi CM to compete with Hendo, Tait pls Winger cover for Cal & Miller, Ross pls CB cover younger player ideally ST someone a bit more clinical, Wales pls Edited May 30 by FFC 1876 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Wonder if we might get a signing by the weekend. Think Ross contract expires tomorrow at Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have anyone else in the midfield that is as physical as Hendo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your meaning Scott Martin he just signed a new contract at the start of last season and was out injured for a good bit of it. Don't see him going anywhere now that Accies are promoted. Might have been a different story if they had stayed in league 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Adams cuts it at Right Back hopefully a Tommy Gemmell style player and from the stories there similarities build, surging runs and a good shot all great and good and frees up Yeats for a midfield enforcer role. That leaves GK CB possible A N Other with a couple of loans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually go to hospitality 2/3 times a season and apart from the last game of the season, no one wanted our tickets. I’ve also got holidays booked end of Oct/Nov when our tickets will be available. I would be happy for the club to sell our seats if we’re not using them and make extra cash for the club. As you say it might be something they have to look at. I wondered about that too, only issue I could see is if they couldn't disable your season ticket and people messing up dates/games and ending up over capacity. Would be good if they could as I have a friend that comes along to the odd game. Maybe they could offer a bring a friend to a game and move stand for that game only. Their will also be a number of seats come free. I couldn't renew as the ticket system had an issue, so I theoretically took a second seat. I doubt I am the only one that had issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t the tallest and at only 19/20 years old he won’t have fully filled out yet. Certainly looks on the skinnier side when you see him play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Hearts and Sevco operate a sell your seat scheme I'm sure. I dont think it would be that difficult to implement. 50% goes to the individual and 50% to the club Im sure they'd have no problem shifting 100-200 for the KM7 each week given the vast majority of ST holders miss some games during the season. Would make a fair bit of extra money, effectively selling the same seat twice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club would rather sell a main stand ticket for full price than get half the cost of a KM ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 We all know how we ensure extra funds get into the playing budget...FSS and Manager Budget contributions! The former is rising, but not quite as fast as I want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berty Auld was not tall or all that well built and bossed the midfield and saw off taller and heavier hard men. But Yeats does have that bite in a tackle and the sports science gurus at the club will be doing the right thing with his conditioning. Have high hopes for the guy and comes across as a good pro who will go far in the game. Look how Will Vaulks kicked on at the same age. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Just got season tickets for myself and my 20 year old son and bought my 3 year old son his first ever season ticket. Make the wee man feel welcome lads and lassies - that’s him here for life now. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
