Hammerafc Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Seaton park used to be a junior ground so can easily mark a full size pitch on it. Gayfield would be a mess with 2 teams playing on it as said above. Possibly will be the High School unless there is plans for an all weather option at Seaton.

Suppose there is a space for us to have a team with Forfar Farmington not in the leagues anymore? Both the woman’s top and the top worn at Ricky Littles testimonial are miles better than our new home top ️ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-0 Maroon Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I wonder if this last minute out of the blue game against Stirling Albion is a chance for us to maybe be looking at Dale Carrick with a few to signing him ️ Would be a cracking signing I reckon and it’s these types of players we should be looking at 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree though, if we were willing to cough up a £30k fee for Kane then why not test some other clubs resolve with bids for guys like that?

I do think this cup where you have to have people signed up doesn't help and it causes panic to just get anyone signed up to have numbers, It seemed like lessons were learned after last year with a couple of good solid signings to start with, would of hoped after last seasons disaster we would of continued that way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any trialist and Jacobs will be utterly useless over the course of the season and last season showed what happens when you carry passengers.

Anotherlichtie Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Good to see we finally announced Saturdays friendly. The communication with the supporters is pathetic unless they are trying to sell something. I think I will head down to Forthbank on Saturday. My first visit since that momentous League 2 title win. Does anyone know of anywhere good to get lunch near the ground? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it we lost that game and had zero shots on target ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had very much wanted rid for the 2 seasons previous but I think the clowns we signed last year showed his worth. He might not score a lot of goals but he can do a lot of good for the team. If we were to sign one of these joker trialists it’s going to feel extremely similar to last year and losing LD. LD for me wasn’t the answer but he was far superior to the guys we replaced him with. Hopefully not a repeat this year, we offered Hilson something but really don’t think we would’ve been going out of our way to keep him. If we sign this big German numpty then we potentially should’ve made more of an effort. Edited July 5, 2023 by 1320Lichtie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLichtie Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Interesting to note that many of the teams in and around us have had a stack of trialists playing for them in their pre season games so far.... We seem to be the only set of fans vehemently opposed to trialists..... Also very confusing to see these teams playing trialists when they've all got squads of 20/22 signed up and are all fully sorted for the season ahead, with ourselves miles behind 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 There seems to be an awful lot of revisionism going on, like everyone knew last season was going to be a disaster. I don't recall that at all. We bounced into last season full of positivity after beating St Mirren and winning our group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was positivity but everyone was waiting on players coming in on loan to fill out attacking positions - they never ended up coming. Right up until deadline day we were hopeful and then Isiaka, Tait etc we’re announced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a result of our recent experience with some of them proving less than capable and being played in place of more established players presumably just to give them game time. If, as rumoured, we’re signing one of the recent bunch then I hope the fans will give him a chance before rushing to judgment. Not all our competitors seem to have built a full squad. Thistle appear way down on numbers having lost some key players. I’m looking forward to Stirling on Saturday. We should see a more capable team with some established players back. Definitely keen to see Slater play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading who Partick Thistle potentially had on trial last night for example and I’d be happy with us looking at any of them. Talk of them being from Scottish Premiership clubs and English League 1 / 2 etc. We cannot get guys like that We are trying to be the best part time club and get the best part time players that is the market we need to be in to survive in the division, guys like that will have several offers on the table and will not need to come on trial.

Hammerafc Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 One of the issues that really had an impact last season on top of the recruitment was players leaving near the end of the transfer window. Low, Thomson, Donnely and Craigen all away in August. I can't see that being repeated this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
