Season ticket prices have been announced. £300 early bird rising to £325. Very good value. 

It’s would be great if we could reach the 3,000 mark again.

Also, from Holt, “Hopefully we can win on Saturday and that'll start a wee five-game unbeaten run. That is the challenge we have laid down to the players: can we go the rest of the campaign without defeat?

"That would end the season on a really good note.


“We have a chance to give one or two players a bit more game time and have a look at them. However, we won't make wholesale changes because it's not fair on the other teams in the bottom six. I wouldn't do that."

I’m hoping one of those players is Tiffoney - it would be good to see what he can do up top with a run. Wylde could do with some game time too.

3000 mark ?

Sorry, should’ve made that clearer. I’m sure we had 3,000 season ticket holders when we first made it into the SPL. I’ve questioned whether Livingston will support a top league team but those figures have given me a bit of hope.

Livi deserve a far greater support than you muster,  but surely 3k ST holders is a stretch too far ?

Is it evident I’ve had a few pints? I should’ve said that it would be good if we could build back towards that over the next 3-5 years. No way do I expect that many ST for next season. Going forward, the town continues to grow and while a lot of people arrive in Livi with ‘the family team’ connection I’m hopeful we could top out at the 3,000 one day again.

As someone who also clung onto hope that their season ticket sales would rocket with sustained success, I'd advise you not to get too hung up on that hope.

Advice appreciated. I’m hoping for a gentle increase over coming seasons.

Enjoyed it as always, particularly interesting hearing about Livi's finances and the behind the scenes from John Ward.

 

If memory serves me right it was Gus 'Jawbroken' Bahoken that broke Larsson's jaw. Rubio got Hartson a dull one in a game though, went off and got stitches, came back on and elbowed Rubio in the coupon as retaliation and got away with it. And big Marv injured Petrov in the mouth to make a Celtic  triple.

You’re right, it was Bahoken, big mans a legend simply because of that

Nothing has been decided or agreed, Holt said that the last few games are do or die for a few of the squad

Do or die for what players do you think?

Would imagine those not playing as much like Wylde and Erskine. Wouldn't have a problem with those two getting some game time in the last few times. Still interested to see what Wylde is like in a 4-2-3-1 rather than as a wing back. 

[Afro]

Listening to that podcast with John Ward, it sounds like we'll very much be following the same mantra of what type of player we sign next season. I can absolutely see us taking a punt on the lad Henderson from Edinburgh City given we were apparently interested in January.

Would also like to see Wylde on the left of a 4-2-3-1, there must be something there. Craig Sibbald has also looked hopeless at times at LWB, let's not forget.

Yeah so did Mullin on the right last season, he's thrived at County as a winger though, and we all knew he would with us as well because his delivery was fantastic. Just isn't how we play though. Lawless is the same, good winger but has to play as a RWB.

Player of the year awards.

 

Craig Halkett would be my choice for PoTY, but stumped for the YPoTY nomination, Jack Hamilton is the only one I can think of under 23 who has played in the first team this season, and he got put out on loan. Unless is goes to the reserves but I haven't watched more than a handful of their games, young Henderson looks to have made the most improvement from what I've heard though.

Not sure if this is correct, but surely Liam Kelly gets your YPOTY by virtue of being 22 when the season started?

[Shaun De Bruyne]

Lithgow for captain. Gallagher for POTY.

Good call, thought he was too old to qualify but he isn't, was between Kelly and Halkett for my choice of PoTY so Kelly would def get the YPoTY yep.
