cdhafc1874 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 We surely need to sign a CB that has a semblance of pace as opposed to the oil tanker turning level of pace that McGowan, Kilday & McGinty have. Unless indeed Newbury plays there or Rankin throws someone from the U-19's like Neeson straight into the 1st team! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Mcleod Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) I highly doubt that Newbury will be a starter and think it's much more likely that he'll end up going back out on loan to a L1 club. Few people in this thread seem to keep on forgetting how many players have left over the summer I think it's around 14 out and 5 in so far although not many of the players who've left were starters we are still lacking in depth and bit of quality in some positions. I know some of our fans said last season that felt like the squad was too big which I could sort of understand in L1 however in the championship it is really important to have good depth and a good bench which we definitely didn't have last time in the championship. Most of the games in this league have 1 goal in them the difference between having a good bench and rushing youth in who aren't quite ready yet could really can be the difference between finishing 4th and finishing 10th in this league. We also need to be prepared as things like injuries are going to happen as we've already seen with Fergus. We seen last time we were in the championship due to the lack of depth a few players know that the position in the team was secured regardless of how they played I can't see this board letting that happen and would still expect to see 5 or 6 players come in before the end of August.

YassinMoutaouakil Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Any idea if yous are hanging onto MacDonald? Genuinely not having a dig- just curious as I've got a few mutual friends etc. Not really someone I'd associate with now, like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incident must have been at the lowest end of the scale if only given 6 months community payback order. Edit due to missing "months" out.

Skondras Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Pricing out for league cup group, early signs are accies are the most expensive. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accie1 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Only by a pound. Doubt if paying £15 compared to £14 would put anyone off although I think £10 and £5 would have been better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Any word if you guys are holding out for a development fee for Jamie Hamilton? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think that's true although I don't necessary agree with these prices we seem to be charging what most teams are. Some are charging a bit more for these games for example Bonnyrigg seem to be charging £20, Annan are charging £18. Falkirk 16/17. A few are charging £15 like ourselves the lowest I've seen from anyone is £12. Edited July 12 by Ian Mcleod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been released by the club so I highly doubt it and it was the club who pulled out of any further talks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the OAP price should be half the adult price not 33% less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moysterclass Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Late to the Oli Shaw chat but as someone who watched David Moyo attempt to play striker for us for 3 years and Matty Shiels get stuck up top in a playoff final, I'm happy with Shaw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pricing was agreed across the group, so I don't understand why we are different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a relevant question to ask why we are the most expensive in our group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moysterclass Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 How many clubs still haven't announced their new home kit yet? Think some clubs have managed to get 3 kits out at this point. Surely this massively hurts club finances by giving fans less time to buy a kit/making fans less likely to buy a kit through lack of goodwill! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely would have been good to have the kit available sooner, but they will come out eventually. An eta or an update should have been issued to keep the fans updated though. I'm looking to at least buy my son one and we look forward to seeing what they look like. The biggest issue I've had is that the club shop should be open immediately after the final whistle, as I feel they are missing so much business at the end of games I.e from those that don't get the chance to visit before the start of the game, hopefully that will change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moysterclass Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Well, kit is out... And for me, it's absolutely awful. Genuinely think I could design a better kit than that in one afternoon. And who is Kurt? https://x.com/theacciesfc/status/1813128531909456062?t=NzuZ_P1GwDdy7SPSXF5Lvg&s=19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the same quality as last season, and we were promised better this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
