The Broch are having a good run in the league so far and good luck to them whether they can go any higher remains to be seen. Given that half the team is ex-Peterhead, we were either wanting to take one of them back or it was someone from the half that hasn't already been at the club. Not surprised that they didn't want to come to Peterhead, especially if they are local and would have to travel down the road for training when they can train locally. That we can't attract players from the like of Fraserburgh paints a rather poor picture on what Peterhead can offer locals.

Would like nothing better than having a team of locals playing for us if good enough. We have a side playing League One Football at a National level if players in the Highland League do not have the ambition to test themselves at a higher level why should we hold the club back to accommodate them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there are plenty of people that are willing to test themselves at a higher level. Weigh that up with the additional travel for training, midweek games all over Scotland, time off the day job, less time with family etc and it isn't hard to see why many don't want to take that on and show "ambition" to be a League one player. I know it would be difficult to have a team comprising entirely of locals but that doesn't explain why we have turned into a central belt club that happen to play in Peterhead every so often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Fine interview showing Stuart Hoggs role at Peterhead as fitness coach. Even at 81 keen as mustard and get the respect & a bit of ribbing from the staff. Typical of Jim doing something good that has worked out so well for all parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendot Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I saw just the segment on Stuart today as its been put in its own video https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/59062332 Cracking to see him doing well as above posters have said. Oddly enough, I don't recall seeing him whenever Brechin were up but i guess the focus is on the players. Good to see him grab some of the limelight! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a game played on the park before the official opening. But it was just a bounce game . First game was v Clach.Score 2-1 for Clach. Colin G. Asked the person who has just finished writing a book on our history. We were still in the Highland League when moving into Balmoor before joining the League. First league game was against Montrose in the 2000/2001 Season on 5th Aug, Herd scored the first league goal at Balmoor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely above Leaue 1 standard. The choice for Dundee will be whether he can play at Premiership level or benefit from a spell in the Championship. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/dundee-fc/2895675/james-mcpake-dundeefc-selfish-loan-avoid-repeat-chaos/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
