Brechin must have been throwing the cash at him as id imagine their would have been a few teams interested in him. Don't think so as Vicsdiehard (the font of all knowledge)has stated many times previously we are totally skint! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and McHattie are good mates think he would have had some influence on it Think he was staying in Edinburgh(McKay) fair old trek to be going up North every Saturday.Pretty sure their would have been L2 teams in for him aswell,must be on a decent wage or a very good signing on fee.

Sometimes it's not all about the cash. Players sometimes just want to play where they know they will be looked after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand what your saying but can't help but think it's down to cash. Don't get me wrong if you have the cash go for it.Brechin really need out the HL sooner rather than later and I understand why they would go for experienced pros but they come at a cost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been struggling badly for recruitment. Edited July 9 by ScottishLoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he’s gone downhill rapidly I should think he will be competent and solid but not outstanding in L2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Reekie, would actually have filled a void in our team at the moment as backup centre half/right back. Hope he does well for Forfar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get one free game a season but hardly anyone can make every single home game, so you might as well pay at the gate. I only buy one to encourage me to go on a miserable winter night, whenever I miss a game it's a cracker. You might well sell more season tickets this year by raising gate prices, giving a real saving. Edited July 10 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I paid at the gate and went to every home game - missed out on a £20 saving but this season the saving is £49 so it's a no brainer - ST purchased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think U11s for free and £50 for High School children is pretty reasonable, if you ask me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's not the case anymore though is it? Previously primary school children got the free season tickets but my P7 son is now £50. I get that it couldn't last forever etc etc. For a bit of context my sister has told me that my nephew is double the price for a season at Glebe Park than he is at Pittodrie.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club have been very generous in allowing U16 free season tickets for what must be around a decade. As the above poster has said, I think free ST for 10 and under whilst charging a small fee of £50 for 11-15 is entirely reasonable and equates to just a few quid a game for someone at High School. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair question. For what it's worth I agree that £50 is reasonable for 11-16 year olds. What doesn't sit with me is that all other HL clubs allow under 12s at least (some are under 16s) in for free and we have never reciprocated that for away fans. We have done the free season tickets for primary school children for a few years, which has been very welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If other clubs want to do it then fair enough but I wouldn't expect my child to get in for free at an opposition ground. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
