Arbroath have a main stand sponsor now? Coelbrew - who? "we have temporarily removed the CoelBrew Main Stand from online purchases." https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/fife/3070481/gluten-free-beer-fife/

What's it say? Need to subscribe to read it.

Did anybody go to this? Did we manage to name a full starting XI?

Other than this keeper we've just got in, I wonder how many loan players we'll get in. Premiership teams maybe prefer putting players out to p/t times as then they can have them during the week for training rather than having BS possibly ruining them for six months or a season. I think I read (but maybe I'm wrong) that loaned out players can also play for their parent clubs in the reserve league. This is maybe less likely to happen if they're with a f/t club who would presumably want them training rather than back at the other club for a reserve match.

*an unattended physio table. From the article at the time of his resignation announcement: "Stuart will work an agreed notice period, to allow us to recruit a replacement." So hopefully he's still there to treat them....

Ali More appointed as director: http://www.raithrovers.net/35824/new-director-appointed.htm

Fair enough. I hadn't used the audio pass before last season and didn't realise that so many more matches had been covered. When you put it that way then almost 50 matches for £40 (or £35 early bird) is pretty good value.

Some price hike! I understand that new equipment has been invested in but almost doubling the audio pass seems a bit steep.

The SFA site lists Montrose v Dunfermline as a friendly yesterday, but I can't see anything on either teams' website or their twitter feeds - did it take place?

Exactly. They’ll be plenty that do. I’m sure years ago when Ross County were part time Roy MacGregor employed folk through Global Energy. Even Nairn County used to do it with their chairman and Narden.

Matt Elder has just followed Grant Gillespie on twitter, if we can take that as news...?

May be a good signing but it's going to be quite underwhelming given he's been talked about for weeks. I've just checked Twitter and he only follows three football clubs: East Fife, Celtic, and us. It must be a cert.

They seem to have been. Bobby Barr mentioned in the Tell Him He's Pele podcast that he had a 25% pay-cut after relegation from the Championship and then was told by Smith that any new deal for next season would have been on reduced wages again.

You getting the two Dundee teams mixed up like Sky Sports?

I'm sure we have this "should we move to a new stadium" debate every close season before we have any signing news to moan about. As much as I can see the failings of Stark's Park - I'd far rather stay there (plastic pitch and all) than have an out of town stadium.
