That’s a tad annoying, much prefer viewing the game from the side of the pitch as opposed to one end behind the goals.

Isn’t the South Stand behind the goals? Bit of a weird one if it is as I don’t think we’ve been in there before?

The lateness of the goals and the margin of each win would indicate they've not exactly had it easy in each of the games, given they apparently "easily beat" each team. Think we shall just need to agree to disagree on this one but I don't think they are of a higher standard than Raith/Partick.

Easily beat? A one goal winning margin against Raith scoring 8 mins from time and then a one goal winning margin against Thistle scoring in the last few seconds of extra time and that was after equalising 8 mins from the end in normal time. I would say the difference in quality between Livingston and Raith/Partick Thistle is slim to none and the fact this guy can't break into a rotten Livi team doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

Utterly underwhelming signing compared to what Ashcroft would've given us. A player who cannot break into a team rock bottom of the Premiership and with 3 appearances since June hardly screams he's going to be the answer to our problems.

I mean based on the fact it was glaringly obvious after about 15-20mins that the starting back 3 were out their depth and Hammy was needing to step back in there, then it doesn’t actually seem that far fetched. McPake has to have seen that.

I have no reason to doubt someone who was actually at the meeting.

From what I’ve heard, a couple of patrons asked some very specific and valid questions about the long term business plan, the funding of the training ground, the poor financials from the last trading year and the current trading year and just had it all swept under the carpet with weak reassurances which were no more than words. The meeting was essentially pointless - there were no facts or figures - just smoke being blown by the Germans assuring everyone there’s nothing to worry about and that they were disappointed to be so heavily scrutinised. You’ve probably heard nothing about the outcome as there was nothing remotely beneficial to come out of it.

I’ve also heard a near seven figure loss being banded about for last season, I guess the proof will be in the pudding when the finalised accounts are published.

One significant concern for me is that Gmbh advised from the outset that they were focused on sustainability yet we are rumoured to have made substantial losses in League One last season. Yet, when we last achieved promotion from the same division, we made a nominal profit and that was without having Falkirk in the league for two large home gates. What is the business model? What has changed in the business model, since then, for the pendulum to swing so significantly in the opposite direction? Why have we made a "significant" loss if we are focusing on being self-sustainable?

The pitch was still very hard late yesterday afternoon and definitely not playable. Think it’ll be touch and go but unlikely to go ahead.

Starts with the rovers game on 2nd January.

I agree the league is the main priority but the Scottish Cup shouldn't just be dismissed as if it's completely insignificant. I cannot see how any fan wouldn't care if their team got absolutely pumped by their local rivals but were able to console themselves with the fact that nobody got injured. Each to their own I suppose!

If this was the Challenge Cup, or to a lesser extent the League Cup, then I'd be inclined to agree but to label the Scottish Cup as the "lowest of priority" seems a little bewildering especially saying you don't care what the score is as long as nobody gets injured.

Very disappointed, but not surprised, that the club aren't all over this from a marketing sense trying everything possible to get more tickets sold. You'd be lucky if 2-2500 have gone so far but we're not exactly pulling out all the stops to encourage folk along.
