    Not sure how serious the financial problems are at Partick, but the fan statement makes it sound pretty bad.  Looks like they could lose a few out of contract players - might be in a minority, but I’d happily take Ross Docherty back.  Sounds like there might be premier league teams interested in him which surprises me a little, but if the opportunity is there, we ought to be looking at it. 

    No wonder they beat us if they had a team full of players they couldn't afford. This sort of thing irritates me intensely.

    Doing it for Dunfermline makes sense if they're expecting a capacity crowd. Supply and demand and all that. Would they expect to sell Starks out for a match vs Dundee United normally? Especially as despite their having obviously decided to strengthen for next season, they had an absolutely anonymous one this time and Dundee United will absolutely be expected to be challenging for the title.

    Couldn't really see Ayr doing it but that's primarily because the teams most likely to draw a capacity crowd at Somerset are also teams whose fans typically expect to spend far more at the gate than Ayr fans, thus meaning raising the ticket cost would just mean a higher ratio of away fans.

    Marketing-wise I wonder if it might be wiser to set the standard price at the higher rate and offer discounted entry to the games they want to charge less for. Who knows?

    6 players isn't going to be enough I'm afraid. I think we're all in agreement that we currently have 6 starters in Albinson, Musonda, McGinty , Murdoch, Dempsey and Dipo (who is likely to leave). So presuming he does leave that means we need 6 players to come in and be staters. Relying on every one of those 6 being successes is a bit naive so we're probably looking at needing around 10 players imo. 

    You can't add ten players to what's already there. It's too many. Need to use coaching to get improved performances from the existing squad and add wisely in a few positions.

    Prior to Friday night there was a possibility that we were still going to have another 2 games this season and could potentially have been in the league above, as such it would seem incredulous that we would already have signed players or indeed released players when we didn't even know what league we were going to be in the following season.

     

    It's equally unbelievable that they wouldn't have a plan A and a plan B ready to go into effect immediately upon the league situation crystallising. I imagine they're some way down the road with whichever players they're looking at.
