Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The article said only that the expense would be shared out. Perhaps for the land owners their commitment is the land involved? "The cost of the £1.2million path will be split between the local authority, Dumbarton FC, Turnberry Homes, Lidl and Cullross Homes."The above would suggest it's a monetary cost involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2015/16 with Rangers and Hibs visiting after 13 home games it was 1107. In 2014/15 with Rangers Hibs and Hearts visiting it was 1065 after 13. In 2013/14 with Dundee as the biggest club in the league it was 893 after 13. *One slight cheat is that there was no published crowd this season for the home game v Falkirk on 17th Sept so the average here is actually from 12 games. Which would be the highest average since we moved to the Rock and higher than our average crowds for the early eighties when we were playing at a similar level but doing better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the council wanted to put a path through part of your garden and said you'd need to pay for part of it. Aye right! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was done earlier in the week anyway. Just to add to what's been said. I do smell a rat with this one too. They do seem to think we are stupid. Surely any truth in this is down to DFC scaremongering and trying to justify the ground move with another non truth story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some folk absolutely stinking the place out down there. There are attitudes around which I'd describe as "old fashioned" that need to change. We're working really hard to improve relations and try to get things moving a bit, and actually the stadium discussions are helping with that. But note from what I wrote above - there's also apathy and negativity among us fans. I'm not criticising anyone, just saying we all have a job of work to do. We need to bury past resentments and get stuck in!

I well remember when a certain Italian-themed café opened in Glasgow Road there was a virtual queue of folk waiting for it to fail, and fail spectacularly to justify their own prejudices and warped sense of wisdom; I know because I had the misfortune to have my ear bent by several of them. About five years on the café seems to be prospering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Interesting to note how full the home end was today compared with the St Mirren game. Makes it all the more obvious how all ticket games are costing us money 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuigan1978 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Just out of interest, is Lewis Vaughan struggling to get game-time because of the system you're playing, the form of the guys keeping him out, or has he just not done enough to merit a place? Considering the (understandable) reaction from Rovers fans about the move, it's interesting to see he isn't getting a game for yourselves either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the (understandable) reaction from Rovers fans about the move, it's interesting to see he isn't getting a game for yourselves either. To be honest he's being kept out of the team by Sam Stanton at the moment who has been absolutely excellent since about December. We play a 4-2-3-1 with Stanton in the middle of the 3 and Nadé up top meaning that his options are really limited to solely Stanton's role.I'd absolutely like to see more of him as he's been impressive every time I've seen him, but I'm not really sure where we put him at the minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thanks. Hopefully he gets a bit more playing time under his belt with yourselves, although any time I've seen Stanton recently he's been excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsanorak Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 See in the sonstv post game interview Aitken saying that players are beginning to ask about contracts for next season.Aitken says that his own future has nt been decided and that for various reasons they cant yet speak to players. There's a balance to be found here I think. We should offer terms to our better players just now and have everyone else playing for a contract. As we've seen with Robbie Thomson, players will be talking and commiting to other teams already.I thought about who I'd keep from the squad, nearly all of them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I would keep all of them. Can't see us holding on to Stirling if he keeps this form up though. I would hope we could sign up the rest and I'd be interested to see if we could get Stanton back but imagine he'll attract full time offers. But offering them deals now may not be wise. We could still go down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Perhaps we should start discussions with the manager, I'd say he'd done enough to earn himself a new deal, even if we do go down.If he's not willing to commit then we need to know as early as possible to allow us to start thinking about replacements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe players wouldn't want to commit if there is a chance the manager may change but IMO we should be trying to tie are best players down now. For me thats. Martin, Buchanan, Barr, Harvie, Docherty, Stirling, Carswell, Flemming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took both his goals well yesterday. First goal seemed to just float in. The Bold part was what caused us to draw yesterday. We tried are best to "hold out for a win" we should have been throwing attack after attack at Ayr but we decided to fanny around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
