No it doesn't, but it is a bit of a stretch to hang comments on one particular director. In recent times I have seen and spoken to most of the board in the 200 club, just because one is in the club more than others is a bit unfair to apportion quotes to that person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 But then you won’t live up to your username?No I wouldn't but I'd keep my self respect, having given other clubs stick for doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Does this board actually look for any kind of investment. They appear to rely on the goodwill of the supporters clubs to provide small inputs of money, however what the club needs is a large investment. We were told that new floodlights would be put in this season so the pitch could be hired out every night, that's not happening as they are struggling to light the ones we have. The railway side would be developed at some point to raise money I take it that's just a dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The railway stand needs taken down and a facility built behind the remaining steps including changing areas and a decent sized bar for both sets of fans. Have harped on about it long enough but do I expect it to happen. Probably not. A builder such as Alex Pemnan could create above for pennies. Alas you would finally have an income stream out with Matchday. [emoji848] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a noticeable improvement on Wednesday night, although there were still some lights missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I cant see Vaughan leaving. Hes still a bit unknown at Championship level and wont be fully fit any time in the immediate future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullTimePint Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Might it be that some of your 'better' FT players just agree equally lucrative p/t deals, and the part-time basis is more for the overall squad rather than for example the Nisbetts and Vaughans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be the ultimate disaster, really - yet another year of Iain Davidson (and other players not good enough for FT football) jobbing along and in turn decimating our budget. Anyone decent would get a better gig elsewhere. If we do go fully PT then anyone who is FT should be allowed to leave if they want to stay FT, that's a given. It's a short career and in reality once they go PT that's pretty much it - they are unlikely ever to go FT again. Those with the options should therefore be allowed a go at it. Fingers crossed we can afford a hybrid model to avoid the above. Edited May 17, 2019 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hybrid model catering for Nisbet, Thomson, Vaughan, Bene, Murray, gillespie and Flanagan? Possibly McKay also? Sack the rest and bring in part timers to make a squad of 18 or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 The full time players above if fit are good enough to build a team around and make the rest up with part timers also surely we must have a couple of youngsters that can take the step up. Hybrid system is the best way to go I know it's far from ideal but hey its life in the lower leagues of Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas you would finally have an income stream out with Matchday. [emoji848]Didn’t Penman offer monetary assistance some time ago and was refused. Did he want some sort of high level executive position and again refused point blank. If that’s the case we can’t be knocking things like this back. Please don’t bite my head off. This was talked about a while back, don’t know if it was on here or the Facebook group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Russell Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Don’t see any worry, probably be better for us going P/T. However it would f**k up the income projections on the pitch if the 1st team is using it 2-3 nights a week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
