We could keep the promise and raise more money simply by not having early bird pricing this season. The season ticket price then still stays the same.

Good league one striker but has never managed to hit the same heights in the championship. Would've snapped him up if we'd been stuck down a level but not for me a level up. On the season ticket front are we freezing the early bird price or the final price or both?

Mcglynn sees the likes of shanley every day in training. He'll know if he's good enough to take up the option.

Only for him to do well and sign for someone else.

Sounds like forfar and Hamilton have a lot in common.

Yes that's the agreement they reached. Scotland train at lesser Hampden and queens park play home games on the proper Hampden . What does the sfa get out of that though? I'd have thought Scotland training at Hampden once in a while would damage the pitch a lot less than queens park playing on it 18 plus times.

It would be hilarious to see queen's park relegated although I still wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of league reconstruction being back on the agenda should haugheys plaything look in a bit of trouble . It's quite remarkable how the Scottish football media have just sat back whilst dodgy deal after dodgy deal is arranged with queen's park. A stadium initially valued at a £1 by the sfa suddenly becomes worth millions paid for by a loan taken on by the sfa arranged with help from haughey himself. A shambles of a new build and suddenly a deal is brokered letting them return to play at Hampden after selling it for millions. What advantage the sfa gets out of it is anyone's guess but why is queen's park playing every other week on the Hampden pitch seen as a better move than Scotland training on it once in a blue moon? It just doesn't add up but seeing them spend millions to end up relegated would be just desserts for a side basically getting backed by the sfa themselves.

Leagues done, games on TV , half 5 kick off against a side we're now 23 points ahead of in the league. I think I can let a few folk off for saving the pennies for our bigger away trip to Annan.

Not yet. Inverness win the morrow then Morton are still only 5 points above second bottom.

Christ Morton arent half pish.

Boy Stephen at alloa is an outside shout. There were 6 Dunfermline players in last year's team of the season.

I read somewhere that because he owns 75 percent of the club he can now write off losses against other areas of his business. Not an expert in this kind of thing at all though.

I took it that when it said "Football Partners Scotland (FPS) will continue to provide the financial support for the company." And " The board of directors has received an undertaking in writing from Football Partners Scotland L.P. that it will continue to make additional funds available to the company in situations where these funds are required.” that the owners fps were basically funding any deficit. Doesn't make managing to lose 7 games on the way to promotion last season looks like much of an achievement.

Debt will all be to the owners but we know what happens when they lose interest or run out of cash.

Did you not bottle it in the playoffs under Murray when in decent positions whilst McCabe got the job done. His recruitment seems decent but as you say tactics etc seem to be his Achilles heel.

Yip he managed in one season to do what Murray failed to do in 4 years at Airdrie..

Raiths bottle crashing by the looks of it. Murray could never get Airdrie over the line now looking like the same with Raith.

Don't forget Derek McWilliams and the wonderful trio of loans Declan mcdaid. Lee Wilkie and lee Mair.

Scotland is miles behind when it comes to ffp as per usual. You would think after the debacles at Dundee twice, Livi 3 times, hearts, sevco, Dunfermline, Airdrie, gretna,Motherwell etc there would be strong rules in place to counter any of it happening again but it's simply head in the sand treatment from the spfl/sfa. Unless you are going to be in Europe there is no ffp and in Europe the rules are limited to losses way above anything you'll see in Scottish football. Teams like the Dundee's , queen's parks, Ross county's and coves are losing money hand over fist every season and the ruling authorities just sit back and watch. 2.8 million is a ridiculous loss. I'd love to see queen's parks balance sheet for a team with about 1000 home fans if they are lucky. Must be hemorrhaging money. Another club will go down the tubes at some stage if nothing is done.

You could see with a few of the older youngsters yesterday that they were ultras in the making. The future of our club really is bright at the moment on and off the park. There was a photo taken with the junior bairns 300th member(a proud grandpa steel in attendance) which is a fantastic number. There was a draw to pic the youngsters that will be going out on the park with the players on trophy presentation day . Players were brilliant with the kids but I bet they are glad it wasn't last Monday.

You'd need to give vouchers out at another game I'd think or something similar to that. Don't think anything prevents you from doing that but you can't charge a different price on the day for the same view etc. Not sure it's overly fair on season ticket holders anyway.

The league one player and manager of the month awards always seem to be last ones announced for some reason.

Great to see the pitch full of kids again today for the junior bairns training with the first team day. Fantastically organised by Sarah and her team once again.

Spot on and from the angle on alba you can see that MacIvor is in front of him.

The keepers in front of MacIver when miller heads the ball. In that pic miller has already headed it and the keeper is scrambling to get goal side of MacIver. If miller had headed it backwards then to MacIver then different story but MacIver is in front of miller when he heads it
