It doesn't need to be War & Peace, just a short bit of prepped copy to publish in sync with Sturm Graz. Then again, it took them 24 hours to acknowledge that Aberdeen were appointing our CEO so...aye fair comment I guess. 2 hours.

What isn't clear to me (I can't read the minutes on my phone for some reason) is the decision was apparently made in 2017 but the pitch levelling was done last summer. Was the drop always unsafe? The end of season pitch invasion never looked unsafe to me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, we made the changes last year to level the pitch and had to mess about with the east stand frontage which created a bigger drop. We then only got an interim safety certificate on the proviso we fixed it this year. Someone took their eye off the ball with that The issue was that the work done last year wasn't up to scratch essentially and it's cost us more this year to rectify. An expensive project to level the pitch.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be more legible? @eliphas has already answered but seems like the levelling of the pitch was a contributing factor and to answer the question as to how why the stand was open last season - the club were given an interim certificate on the basis that the work was done to fix the issue in a reasonable timeframe. This actually kind of ties in with what @Al B was saying a while back about work not having been completed in time last summer.

I think you are thinking the same way I am. He seems to be injured. It was clearly noted he had a knock and folk are now assuming he's away out the door.

My Fault I know but seems daft I was on for a while. Not really anything ground breaking. 3600 members. 2800 contributing regularly iirc. Confirmed squad budget cut back significantly, but not clear if that was based on existing wages / budget from the end of last season or start of last season. Quite a difference. Confirmed Derek Weir was assisting club 3 days per week. His contract with Co-op bank comes to an end either in August or Sept. The club are still working with recruitment company looking for a new CEO. Many people have been spoken too. But again not clear if this is a smokescreen and Derek Weir will take it on Full time. Or if he will walk away once we do get around to eventually appointing someone. They have provision for 9 people on the Well Society Board and they will look to fill those positions. Voluntary of course, but feel they need more depth of experience and bodies as the likes of Douglas Dickie and Tom Feely still have other jobs. Again I think that is what I heard. It was shortly after that I left. Not very enlightening up to that point.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not impossible but edging towards very unlikely unless there's a big upset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
