I think that is the same for most people but normally we are hoping for 1 of 2/3 signings to be decent. We already know Gallagher and Golding are good so we are better off than usual. On top of that most of the signings look like a minimum of decent squad players - we’ve been lacking options most seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1993 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Defo a deeper squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin Macca Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Hoped (but didn't think) we could get Mark back. Excellent signing. Especially on a permanent deal. As mentioned I'm sure some of these signings will turn out to be a bit meh but its just refreshing to see something different from the usual X,Y,Z released/on loan from county/caley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer has been great to see a difference to the usual scrambling at the end for loans. The board have done a very good job of being creative with the budget and the fans fundraiser would have also helped. Apparently there was very good fees received for both Barron and Jamieson with the safety net of buy back clauses inserted in both. Very shrewd all round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 There was a rumour (and probably just a rumour) on Fitba North that Nairn paid £20k for Barron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Despite Elgin making some cracking signings, I'm surprised at how very few posters on the league 2 prediction forum, rate us. Most seem to have us between 5th-9th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most seem to have us between 5th-9th. I reckon that's where we will be to be honest. I like the look of our signings and I'm certainly more optimistic than I have been but I still think we are going to concede goals while not having a goal scorer at the other end. I obviously hope I am wrong and everything clicks! Roll on Saturday! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Coming up to the game on Saturday. Can I just confirm it's pay at the gate, £16 for a ground ticket & is it cash or card? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy's Ghost Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 It’s pay at the gate. £16 + £2 if you want a seat in the stand. Cash definitely- not sure about card payment at the turnstiles tbh. You can buy a ticket on fanbase in advance(fanbase club.com) that they scan off your phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully bringing a mate who's based at raf lossiemouth to his first ever Scottish game. He's a West Ham fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Not a bad result last night. We gave BoD a bit too much respect in the first half and struggled to get into it. The first 25 minutes of the second half was excellent, the subs completely changed the game for us and Dylan Gavin looks capable of doing some real damage once he settles into the team a bit more. My apologies to Daniel Hoban but watching him get more and more rattled with each ball he hoofed out of the pitch was very funny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Great start to the season for Elgin City. Have to admit Hale has done a great job since taking over, the club looked as though it was sleepwalking back into the HL for a couple of seasons. Certainly Elgin look like having a better season than many predicted. It's not a stellar League Two this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo83 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 We have just signed Blair Mckenzie on loan from Aberdeen......Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1993 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 He was played mostly at full back where he looked like a fish out of water. He is a big gangly loon who will develop physically over the next year or two. I would describe him as a typical modern day Academy centre half, in that he is always trying to play football from the back but defending isn’t his strongest suit yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some decent games early on as a centre back but as said above was mostly used at left back and generally struggled. I thought his first touch was pretty terrible at times but may have been a confidence thing as both player and team were in brutal form. I presume he did well at Huntly otherwise I doubt he'd be going up two levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
