What's the ticket prices for the coming season? Is there much to do in town or surrounding area ? We're going to be based in Forfar... Thanks in advance! You’ve got the castle centre which I’m sure has a country park with a few things to do for kids, my niece is 9 and loves it which will maybe give some sort of idea to the age group it caters for. Also has a decent enough cafe for something quick to eat. Other than that, Brechin itself is pretty shite, if you want to let your kids experience what life was like in this country immediately following world war 2 then take them there as very little has changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco8326 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Couldn't make it to the meeting as I was away on holiday. Was there anything said about the players not mentioned on the the squad update? Like boti and crookie? Why is it taking us so long to bring players in ? I know some are still under contract with other clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some are still under contract with other clubs Not really much of an update by Kirk on the player front. Botti is unlikely to sign as he lives in the Glasgow area and traveling is an issue (the main reason Bain was not signed on again). They are trying to sign players who are not based in Central Scotland and are of a decent standard - I think this is proving to be very difficult. I would expect that they have a few trialists at training which commenced last Monday. Unless we throw money at players (which we don't really have), the HL is not proving to be an easy selling point for us. It's very frustrating I know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting promotion is the reason players won’t come,as I said before the Highland League is our level now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we might be struggling to get players in to be fair what we have just now is a pretty decent squad just need to replace the ones that have left. As long as we manage to keep hold of Grady I'll be happy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Brechin will challenge for, or win the league again. I think Brora will be their main rivals this season actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Formartine will push us hard - they have some very good players (including one we didn't re-sign!). Buckie will be strong again and BOD could break into the top 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them winning it with the current playing squad unless other teams are weaker than last year. There appears to be a growing realisation in Brechin, that the Highland League is the present and the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is being driven away as there will still be a cash gate for those who don't trust technology. Most clubs have now gone down the digital path as the man-hours involved in operating a sole cash policy are extreme. You seem intent on only writing negative posts (as you are clearly not a fan) so my reply is aimed at proper fans who could not attend the latest club meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
