Boghead ranter Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 All it needs is a strategically placed tambourine at each corner to weigh it down. It's not as if there's ever anything more than a gentle breeze down at The Rock anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does beg the question though, why the f**k are they not setting prices for each league and allowing U12's free every week, in every league? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a worse idea than building a 4000 capacity stadium on a flood plain at Dalmoak, and then moving the club there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionel wickson Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Something along the lines of, it was known 3 or 4 days in advance temperatures were to plummet and it's disappointing the covers weren't put down. Felt that this interruption to our momentum had some bearing on our performance at Inverness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 If you're looking for something to cheer you up tonight not only did Connah's Quay lose 3-0, Jon Routledge even scored a goal against them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Holy f**k, the SPFL and a forward thinking initiative! It does beg the question though, why the f**k are they not setting prices for each league and allowing U12's free every week, in every league? SPFL can't set prices without the full agreement of all the clubs involved. If you're angry about the prices, I'd suggest you look at the clubs first.We have an offer of one adult plus two children for £16. SPFL like it, but a few other clubs in the top flight refuse to price matches that way, (hint: it's the same clubs who charge kids £30 for matches against each other) so it's not enforceable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sons'r'us Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I thought the scarves from the club were £9. I know if you order online they take a fiver delivery but I'm sure we have a stock in at the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
