Happy with that.
All in I'm at about £1000 for travel, 3 tickets and accommodation for 12 days. A lot cheaper than I thought I would be. I expect I'll be nearer £2k for the whole trip. Not far off the average cost of a fortnight all inclusive abroad.
Roll on June!
This.
I was his biggest critic last year but today he fucking strolled it against the only team that has even a remote chance of challenging us.
Hamilton were no better than any of the other dross we've played this year.
With it being a brand new pitch the last thing you want is a dozen or so people hacking at it with shovels. The artificial blades come away from the pitch very easily.
Different for teams like Stenny who don't maintain it to the same level.
Coupled with the travel from up north, I've not got an issue with it being off. I also can't make it which is an added bonus for me personally.
I'm involved with a foundation team and we often gets changed in the warm up room or the of the office/class rooms. The guy who organises this is very hostile towards the guys who run some of teams. Very dismissive and unnaccomodating. The last guy who done it the last few years was great with us. This year has been a nightmare.
Most people I know have opted for the terrace so must be about sold out now. Thats not including the ultras that will take up 100-150 of that. We should hopefully come close to a sellout.
Looking forward to it. Not played a league game there in a long time.
For guys who are out of contract, unless they get an offer from the Premiership or possibly Dundee United, surely we are still more appealing than the dross in the Championship. This is of course based on us looking likely to go up come January.
