GoldenNuggets_YeeHaa Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 17 hours ago, Its not only a game said: Is it just me but watching the game tonight and see Craig Watson playing in the Championship with Airdrie.A few years ago he was playing with us, a good player but not first team pick . How far have we fallen ? Darren Young was able to recruit some class players, Watson, Agnew , Meggat , Davidson , Dowds, Murdoch etc . Look at us now ,on the same budget. We are miles off it- the Board to blame? This forum also reflects the lack of interest in our club. Once active and vibrant now feels dead and dull- like our club? I was thinking the same mate. Even looking at other clubs like Montrose, Arbroath, Stirling etc have all improved whilst we've went backwards. Fair enough we've focused on young players and setup but there's still a lack of quality on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance in hell your budget is the same as it was when Young was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t understand that. We Have no money from our shareholders or Directors( nobodies fault) . We have to fund from a break even position from club operations and fan support. So budget must be in same ball park? anyway good win today - phew!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Young was in charge in League 1, so bigger prize money and some larger away supports than you get in League 2 would give him a larger budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life on Marrs? Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Budget surely lower now than Darren Young had. League 1 brings increased prize money & larger crowds. There's next to no travelling support in league 2, coupled with club coming out of the covid season, cost of living crisis will all see less money coming into club than pre 2020. We also had several sell out games with Raith in his time, along with quite a few big cup draws. 5th was our highest finish in this time. What the final league tables don't tell though, is we consistantly competed for the play offs in every season, only to fall short each year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 A new low. Wasn't at the game so can't comment on the performance but that result is embarrassing, a once proud cup team now a joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these East of Scotland clubs are well run and more than a match for our basement league plodders. As is the highland and lower leagues. Todays results prove that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Dunbar are in the EOS first division which is 3 leagues below League 2. Certainly a bad day for the club but not at all surprised. I've personally lost interest and wasn't there today but it seems we lost Easton and Page through injury. Things may get even worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last paragraph could equally apply to the Sons Sorrow thread. When you drop down the divisions you are down to the hard-core. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit of the Mound Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 One of the worst displays I've witnessed in over 50 years supporting East Fife. Shameful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
