But aye a wee photo with the scarf/top would’ve been nice when they signed Have we ever done that? I think all Skelton's signings came to Palmerston and got photos done when they signed. I went there to meet Hamill, Anderson, Rigg. Dobbie was signed there in person too. I dont think its ever been done under Naysmith though. Generally the signing isnt done at Palmerston so getting photos, kit / scarves is more problematic. I dont think Fowler did them at Palmerston either generally (though Darren Brownlie definitely came to Palmerston to sign). Tapping, Jacobs, Marshall were all signed up the road. Fowler himself and John Baird were photographed signing at Palmerston in McIntyre's time though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to say but I feel we are getting more amateurish in the general running of the club, not to mention the 1st team set-up. For instance the club shop/office advertises opening hours yet sometimes is closed during those times. As Bluenortherner says calls to the office go unanswered. Recent posts about new signings being photographed may be petty to some but it keeps supporters informed as well as keeping the club in public eye not only locally but nationally too. Would it be that much of a hassle for someone to submit a photo whether it's at Palmerston or "up the road". Surely the more positive press you can get the better, the club has had quite a bit of negative press lately. I'm sure we had a Press Officer, Bill Goldie, but don't know if that post still exists. Maybe just my imagination but there seems a general malaise about the place just now, and in the lead up to a new season the Club should be doing all it can to keep supporters onside and promote itself positively. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it is slightly different, but there was a picture on the OS of Dykes signing an extended contract. http://www.qosfc.com/news-3827 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
