My only question is where is the pitch rental monies going? To repay Mr Sim for the New playing surface Would you be happy to get changed in a portacabin in mid winter. Where are the toilet facilities etc. If its not in place by the start of the season then why the heck would you spend that kind of money and not utilise it properly. This will now be year 2 if the 7 year lifespan of the pitch. Lets not forget how often we relaid the grass pitch and how much money we wasted on it because the groundsmen were clueless. We had specilaists in treating fungal infections and insect damage every year. By year 3 the pitch will probably have paid for itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Hendry is a great bit of business! The new lamps are not LED ones they originally ordered lamps from the previous floodlights so they had to spend money to bring the riggers out a second time. Also it's a bit of a waste buying new lamps that don't work because of other problems. Ps Hendry is a great signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention bringing in floodlight specialists in the first place it was pretty obvious it wasn't just a case of changing bulbs.

Quote Tenacious midfielder Ross Matthews (23) has accepted the contract offer made to him, and has committed to the club for the new season. Ross gets stuck in against Forfar in the Playoff Semi Final Ross made his debut for the Rovers in 2013 under former boss Grant Murray when current assistant boss Paul Smith was on the coaching staff. Since then, Ross has clocked up 139 appearances, scoring 6 goals and has turned in several combative displays in key matches for the Rovers over the last 6 years. “Rossco” is looking forward to pairing up with with new signing Regan Hendry as the management team continue preparations with a view to gaining promotion back to the SPFL Championship. It's happening! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law was one of the rope access guys who was initially called out to replace them. The club had ordered the wrong ones and had to call out another company (SM electrical) to work our what ones they actually needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Nisbet and Murray decide to stay put next? Davo gets released? We announce Victoria? Happy for Matthews to stay, so long as he's in the middle and just told to be a holding midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
