Brian Carrigan Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Of all the news from this bizarrely timed mass exodus, the release of Josh Grigor is a really surprising one. He's obviously limited but I'd question whether or not you can sign a centre half who's even equally as competent at L2 level at this stage in the campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Update from Calum … A Message from the Manager As you will all have seen, there has been a number of movements in the player squad. Over the past week we have lost 4 players. 2 players we have received very good offers for, which as a club we could not refuse. 1 player asked to leave and 1 asked to leave due to personal circumstances so he could find a club closer to home. I understand the supporters' concerns, however we are working tirelessly to add quality into the squad and bring in players that we believe will assist the current squad in achieving our targets for the season. Thanks Calum + Striker Cameron Ross signed from Tranent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he wants to join a L2 club in the Edinburgh area who aren't Spartans... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 622 last week v Arbroath but that was a dead rubber, but doesn’t lend much weight to the Hearts/Rangers theory either. CE has done quite a rebuild too so you’d think people would want to see how they cope. I have to say, apart from the first season, I find Bonnyrigg a hard watch. I’d rather watch the Welfare, even though the standard is dire, the games are more entertaining and you usually get goals. Suspect holidays a factor and first weekend of the festival etc. I was up at the ground about lunchtime and then off round the bypass elsewhere and every where was really busy. Interestingly Peterhead at home on December 9th was lowest home crowd last season 458. Second meeting 625 at the start of April so guess not a million miles away. Clyde next up at NDP in 2 weeks they will bring a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broonaldo Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Interesting signing strategy for Bonnyrigg ….. wonder if Calum’s satnav is only programmed to drive between Bonnyrigg and Tranent?! Seriously though, it’s not entirely fair on the Tranent fans that we are signing so many of their best players (well, I’m assuming they’re their best players)! Tranent to Bonnyrigg (and vice versa) has been a ‘well trodden’ path for players over the years and I think we have a great relationship with them - let’s be careful not to abuse that relationship now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his sat/nav looks like it’s still programmed to Cowdenbeath with murmurs coming also from that direction. And it looks very likely that our former manager will be filling the vacancy at Tranent.

I’m no fan of Bonnyrigg but as least they are trying to incrementally improve their ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 The first away ground I visited had an open air urinal with 6 foot high nettles growing out of it. Spoiler Annfield, May 1987 Portaloos are a bloody luxury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
