Last time, the behaviour of the Hamilton fans was a disgrace. I wouldn’t be sitting there.

Definitely not what I’d class as a long one anyway. Home for back of 6 if you’re taking the motor It just depends on how busy the road is across from Kinross really Think it’s pretty good. Actually in hindsight really chuffed it’ll be Inverness cause an away day up there and staying the nights a lot of fun. Also already said that as soon as the fixtures are released Annan is getting booked. The best away day in the country 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is talk of part time football, they’d have to make huge decisions on where to train etc if that was the case. If they stay FT in L1 then getting players to move up there was already a bit more of a nuisance they had to deal with in the Championship so I’m not sure how they’re managing it in L1. You'd have to think they will just have to try find a way to chuck money at it, stay Full Time and have an all or nothing season aiming for a promotion right back up. Just chucking my 2 pence, I believe our chairman’s quoted as saying we’ll be full time regardless of what division we were going to be in. Whether that was bravado and the tune has changed now we’ll wait and see. Too early to say yet depending on what comes out over the next few days but I think we should be gearing up for a prolonged stay in Ligue 1 a la Falkirk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Would agree. I thought it was a good option to have initially but it felt so forced, especially in season 22/23. Bakare and Ford opened the door to it and were the guinea pigs but Dick and Pink really took the piss with trying to sign so many of them that year that we really lost our way and so much continuity. Oakley and Bird were for me probably the only two real successes. Norey was decent, as was Banks but better than anything out there who were part time players? I don’t really think so. Trial and error of a system which is fair enough though. I kind of think it was put in place so that if we got into the Premiership it gave you the option of having some full time players and experience. You’d imagine they may have ended up so much better than what we ended up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d imagine they may have ended up so much better than what we ended up with. Oakley was a loan.. Hylton and Bird were successes - just not together! And Hylton signing for just 6 months and using us as a "springboard" (to nowhere as it turns out) showed another flaw in the idea.

ExiledLichtie Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I would have happily kept Banks, Bird was probably the best "proper" striker we've signed in years, and Hylton was excellent, I don't think Norey put a foot wrong when he was given a chance. I also liked the look of Turan, but he was never going to play in front of Bird and Hylton, and didnt make the most of his chances (and he was given a fair shot). This season's recruitment was much much better, it was the previous summer that was an absolute binfire. Not too sad to see the back of the hybrid system overall though. We're better sticking to trying to be the best of the part time clubs. I just feel sad for all those Inverkeilor houses that will never be completed now.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRoundO Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 One of Dick’s major failings last season was his inability to get good loan signings in. I know the story was that more allowed subs meant prem teams weren’t doing so many loans, but from what I observed most other Championship teams had loads of loanees in their starting lineups. Our previous successes were built on loans like Nouble, Jack Hamilton, wee Hammy, Dowds, Scott Martin, etc. I think Dick’s brand of football didn’t appeal any more to big clubs trying to develop talent - eg Oakley pulled out and loaned to QP. Hopefully Jim will have more success next season. The Charlie Reilly loan looked like a coup but our injury hoodoo got him too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
