Why ‘The Alpha Projects Stadium @ Station Park’? What’s the point in two names in one? It’s not surprising from the club though to not relay things, remember the Steven Warnock signing? Was named in at least one competitive squad before we even announced him a week later. Edited July 13, 2023 by fafc1885 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you could say that the community trust own the pitch, which you could argue was the "park" part, therefore the bricks and mortar made up the "stadium". Tenuous, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IpswichLoon Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 "The David McGregor stand" would have been far more fitting but still. So you guys that get to watch the team, what's the general view on the Finn Robson signing ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classy player, his talent is obvious, had a great start to his loan but went a bit anonymous when Slater came back from injury because the two of them very similar. Now he will likely inherit the Slater role he may well flourish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking from afar it looks like the squad surely needs another out and out striker, any news on the likelihood of this ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably get a free agent signing in before the league campaign, then a loan on top of that. Love to get young Bavidge from Aberdeen, but that's unlikely due to his age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a bit of context - our board are currently struggling to find a main sponsor for our kits (mostly down to our charlatan owners tbf) but any extra sponsorship should be welcomed IMO. We’ve actually had to resort to a referall scheme to try and encourage more sponsorship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwh Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 The signs were put up to allow the photos to be taken. The photos were taken last night and the joint announcement was posted this morning, which is the earliest possible opportunity during the working day. It quite literally couldn’t have been relayed any quicker 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for extra funds for the club, but by their own admission they were pissing money up the wall on travel expenses for the playing squad & then had the cheek to ask supporters for money to add to the pot in January. I take everything they do with a pinch of salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
