clansman Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 14 minutes ago, F_T_Y said: Have to agree, the timing of the new contracts was strange, our form last 10 games was dire. I liked moff as a player and manager but wouldnt be that gutted if he left to be honest. Not strange in the slightest. All these players could have sat it out and got offers from elsewhere for more some may be doing that now. Where are you going to pick up replacements of comparable or higher standard for virtually a whole team. Sacked for finishing fourth half a dozen points off the winners. Start that revolving door you end up like Kilwinning, Kilbirnie etc. There are players, favourites whose roles have to diminish. Going by what they did over what they are actually doing is a nettle that needs to be grasped . There are two obvious holes that need to be filled. Don't you think the manager is not aware of this, it's a very competitive market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think the manager is not aware of this, it's a very competitive market. I heard this mentioned previously and when you do a bit of digging, it seems to be around the same time as in previous years when contracts were extended. As you say, you risk losing players and managers for not having them tied down. We do need to add more quality to the squad if we're going to challenge at the top though, that means some players will have to move on. So far it looks like McMahon, Slattery, McGonigle, Higgins, Creag Little and Donnelly could be on their way based on the announcements made so far? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doing anything of note at Petershill. Six people have scored more goals for Peasy according to WoSFL stats page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokloyal Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 It’s amazing the fine lines in football-Clydebank gave a very good account of themselves for 6 months or so and if they hadn’t lost at Beith then the run in for the title was on a knife edge.Seemed a pretty decent squad of players and not far away but the fans will know better on that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F_T_Y Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) I would keep larry and slattery, dont know how well higgins done at Petershill but we need someone who knows where the back of the net is and he has a shoot on sight policy. Which i like in a striker. If i was getting rid of a keeper it wouldnt be donnelly. Edited May 15 by F_T_Y 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager has said he’ll give an update on players departing later this month after all the discussions have concluded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin Taranbino Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 How were Clydebanks attendances in the season gone? Did being in title race make much difference? If you could get up to Lowland or even back into spfl, what crowds do you think you could get compared to when you were last there. Good luck for coming season. Lots of fond memories playing you lot : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of fond memories playing you lot : ) Between 500 and 800 plus. I reckon that a successful season would see that increase the following season. We'd need an increased capacity in SPFL - currently 1200 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 500 - 800 is very decent. Are you getting 300 - 400 most games now in WOSFL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
