Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Apparently John Hughes is looking to take on the job. Yogi is often the butt of the jokes on here, but that would be quite a coup for a club of The Fort's stature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreElgin Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 There's a rumour that Inverness are going to pull the plug on the loan deal, would make sense seeing as Fort are still complete dogshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard they're going to end the contracts of a few of the loanees, so I suppose it's possible that some might sign directly for Fort without the Caley pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Is everyone still upset at Fort William for taking so many players on loan or do people not give a toss as they are still guff? Funny one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Shaker Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Is everyone still upset at Fort William for taking so many players on loan or do people not give a toss as they are still guff? Funny one. After the initial nonsense, everyone - except Clach - have returned to beating them as easily as a suspect in shackles, and no ones really fussed now. 20,000 Twitter followers doesn’t make goals, which seems to be coming as a surprise to some. The above rumours have been circulating a while. January will be a big month for thon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 It’s almost as if Fort hadn’t actually done anything outlandish. They’d just signed a bunch of kids on loan, that will never make it pro. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 7 or 8 of the 9 that don't make it at Inverness will drop down and be at Elgin in a year's time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we can make an exception for youth internationalist Daniel Mackay, compared to the absolute dross we usually end up with on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Fort William's game called off tomorrow... Their last 5 home games have been off and they last played a home league game on October 5th (they did manage a League Cup R2 tie in mid-November). They will have to play 20 league games in approximately 16 weeks from January-April... having managed 12 league games in 23 weeks from July-December. Of course, there must be a good chance they'll suffer more postponements, especially in January and February. Must be a big challenge for income - they've only played 5 home league games all season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to most seasons for home games but I think they've been unlucky with away postponements. Must be difficult to build up a local following and involvement when there are hardly ever Saturday afternoon games and just a flood of midweek evening kick offs in the Spring. And this in an unusually mild winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Patterson Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 The best long-term solution for Fort William for survival as a club, would be the installation of a 4G Pitch at Claggan Park. Would almost certainly need some form of Council funding. I've always been surprised by the lack of artificial surfaces in the HL considering that it's the HL clubs that would need it the most. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
