Paco Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Cove three years from four, ICT twice in a row, Dundee two years from three and Peterhead who are in our league. Fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if that makes sense) Dumbarton were in the North section one year such was the split, the border changes every year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 In all seriousness, I realise this group is a bit of an anomaly but a Kirkcaldy based side having drawn Cove, Peterhead and Inverness in a regionalised draw is absolutely mental. I'd rather it was in 4 or even 3 regions, although I suppose it might lead to teams having the play the same teams every year which is a bit shite also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played both cove and Inverness last year aswell. It doesn't seem to make much difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were too exposed because of wedderburns complete lack of mobility off the ball Play someone with energy and dig (and proper full backs) and the centre halves don't get pulled out of position so much. Gillespie is the answer to that one. Has been exclusively a holding midfielder his whole career until arriving here where like everyone else we shoe horn them all into whatever position we can disregarding players’ best positions, shape, balance etc etc. No question we need guys playing week in week out in a position they are comfortable with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A midfield pairing of him and Matthews lacks creativity but should be solid enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Am I right in saying we played Cove before at Forfar's ground? Rubbish draw imo. Glad we didn't get Ross County though. Dingwall is like being back in the 50s. We did as Thier own ground was not ready. It'll be a midweek in Aberdeen in Inverness. Pointless competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I've only watched the interview with Ali and not actually read the script. Ali is someone I trust so I'll probably be buying into this proposal this time around. I'm the same only listened to Ali's interview. If it wasn't for sim owning the stadium I would have preferred money to be used to improve the facilities at the ground or bars to allow us to be able to sustain a steady flow of cash in the future alongside anyone who is contributing. I know there are plans to increase the size of the 200 club. Also to create changing rooms and hospitality at the railway side. If neither of these are done in the close season then what's the point in grovelling for money if they are not prepared to maximise its own revenue opportunities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit to not knowing much about the guy but from what I can tell he's put his hand in his pocket to keep the club going for years. It's not distrust. If we are looking at generating revenue then I would like the club to maximise its own revenue stream. That means increasing bar size and make it available to both home and away fans on a weekly basis. Not this oh can't go this week as it's being used for hospitality. Pretty much every visting fan that comes to our ground that has had a pre match drink have had to go elsewhere. Airdrie for instance use the local golf club. Our own fans who want an occasional last minute pint can't get one half the time. I'm all for people donating but IMO there is much more on the facilities side that can be done to create a larger revenue stream. If there is issues etc with planning or similar for alterations to the 200 club then I can handle that explanation but if we sit at the start of next season with no changes then I question the thoughts of the board. Imagine having the facilities to invite other clubs version of day Fife finest to our ground and be able to milk them of cash pre match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ramshackled portacabins at the north end is probably the new changing rooms with a simple fix of tying into the current services at Starks. My only question is where is the pitch rental monies going? To repay Mr Sim for the New playing surface 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoanEhRaith Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Max Anderson, a midfielder with Dundee in talks with a full time contract on the table. You lot heard it here first,Any information on him as it seems he’s made an appearance in the challenge cup and nothing after that? Also not sure if that’s the colt side or first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
