Question is why anyone at the club allowed any individual to own 51% of the club. The fact that Rankine effectively asset stripped the club by buying the land outside the stadium from the club at a discounted price only compounds the club's plight.

Seems to me that the Chairman should call a Q and A session with the fans with no questions/topics being off the table. The Boards/Fans concerns could then be discussed.

Whilst the Board are excellent at controlling the club's finances,they are totally abject at promoting the club commercially and more importantly ,entering into dialogue with the wider Levenmouth community. Unfortunately the Board is continuing to adopt a "they ken where we are" attitude whilst presiding over a substantial reaction in fan numbers.It is one thing for the Chairman to give the fanbase a periodic update on social media.We are the converted.Why is there never an appeal to the wider public.? Although personally,I believe that changes are needed at senior Board level,the number 1 priority would be to appoint a Commercial Director part of whose remit would be to promote the Club in the wider community. With a view to fostering a better understanding of the Boards and Fans concerns,the Supporters club have,or about to,write to the BOD suggesting a Fans rep on the Board.Be interesting to see the reply. Having said all this,the club will NEVER prosper,until Neil Rankine/Johnston/Twigg sells their share in the Club.

I am currently, and have been for the past 4 weeks in Espana. Apparently the starting line-up was: Fleming Mercer, Denham, Slattery, Williamson Omar,Millar ,Walls,Newton Trouten, Shepherd . Changes were made at halftime but no info.on what they were. Missing at least from the starting lineup were Smith,Steele,Murdoch,Cunningham, Healy,and McManus.

It may well have been Burntidland Shipyard and not Thornton Hibs.My point is that I thought that he was an up and coming player.That thought was torn to shreds that evening-and yes,I did know he was playing against East Fife.

Must admit that a few years ago,I saw Nathan Laird as an up and coming no nonsense centre half.Last season I saw him play for Thornton Hibs in the 15-0 debacle. With regard to recruitment,there appears to be vacancies all around especially in defence with a 19 year old replacing the experienced 2 Higgins and Dunlop. With ,I think,9 players aged 20 or under currently in the squad, a few more experienced players would not go amiss.

Adam Mansoori?

The lack of information coming out of Bayview is truly appalling.

The onus is now on Stevie Crawford to produce.

Perhaps if the club's owner supported the club financially,the BOD could either help subsidize season tickets or initiate ground improvements.Remember that he is the guy who set up a company to purchase the land outside the stadium ,and as principal shareholder of EFFC ordered the sale the land at £100k at least beneath market value. Although there are concerns I have at Board level principally concerning their lack of engagement with the general Levenmouth public and lack of marketing nous,the biggest obstacle to what we all want,is Mr Rankine.

There were EF fans behind the goals at the sea end v Dunfermline.Seem to remember that it was blowing a hoolie that day .

Or perhaps Stirling offering more? You could argue that these players contributed to Darren's sacking at EF.

The only senior player who appears not to have made a decision whether to sign or move on/retire is Chris Higgins. As others have suggested,there does appear to be concerns about Jude Smith future at EF.

Kieran Millar signs on for a further season.

Ross Davidson is an excellent signing for you.
