Difference being previously there has always been a big hitter in the league who if not top by Christmas will go out and buy a full new team. We don’t have that this year, we have a Livingston team that may have financial issues in the background. There is nobody to be scared of in this league. 

And the way things are going I think we will see some spend in January if read.

I won’t lie, you guys appear to be building a worryingly good squad out on the coast. Judging by the way most teams are building I think this is going to be the best league in Scotland once again. I hope we get a move on with signings soon.

I think we’ve made good signings and then we’ve made signings where no one really knows what to expect. 
 

The big positive for me is that we’re getting them in early so we aren’t going to be scrambling around at the end of August looking for players and also, everyone will get a pre season under their belts. Still think we’re a good RB, CB and CM away from threatening Raith.

It's really funny to me that ICT had Ayr's number for absolutely years and then Hopkin of all people managed to break their jinx and seemingly that was enough to bury them within a couple of seasons.

Yeah, that's what caused it, been trying to work it out for weeks.

So brown said he expects 2or 3 more to come in . Walker in the door . So we still need rb ch and cm what position out the 3 needs beefed up I go for rb and cm 

We only have 2 signed centre halves for those 2 positions, so centre half is priority number 1 for me.  Yes McMann can cover there, but we desperately need another.  I think we could possibly sign 2 permanent and 1 loan player at a push.  CB/CM and maybe get a right back on loan (Megwa would be superb).

Shaping up to be an exciting season for both clubs I'd reckon. One of my sons best pals here in Kirkcaldy is an Ayr fan, regularly goes about wearing his Ayr top and even does a football class at Starks with my son at the weekend wearing his Ayr gear. Needless to say the banter between the two of them in pre season has been good natured. I nearly thought he had been converted as he was at our playoff games at Starks wearing a Rovers scarf 👀

He was just being polite with the scarf thing 😉

He'll be supporting one of the OF soon if he continues with that kind of behaviour. It's a slippery slope.

Looking at that I can't see anyone we've lost that hasn't had an upgrade, Chalmers included as at worst we've not downgraded.

Would agree, would say an unknown quantity rather than not downgraded.  However looks a lot stronger.

Enjoyed that interview with Dowds. 

Simple stuff really, just a wee Q&A over Zoom, but it makes a difference. Someone that knows how to ask questions and tap into what most fans are thinking about for the upcoming season.

Hopefully lots more of that kind of of thing as we progress thriugh the season - the kind of thing that has been missing for a while.

If you're one of the UWS students having McLean around, must be a good buzz.  Probably learn more in 5 minutes with him than half their course.
