pub car king Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 We could do with another Steven Anderson type loan. An experienced CH to shore up the defence and help to control games and see out leads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m be more up for a MacLean type if we’re taking Steven’s…surely he’d straighten up the defence while scoring a few. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a loan to get someone out of favour off the wage bill? Edited February 1 by Been going too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 6 hours ago, R.R.FC said: Unfortunately, we are 19th best supported in the leagues. All 12 Premier League sides plus Dundee, Partick, Ayr and Inverness have higher average crowds this season according to Transfermarkt. Falkirk and Dunfermline also have higher crowds. So we are 19th although could potentially be behind Arbroath too after this weekend as there is only 34 difference in the averages. Given crowds don’t really matter to Queens Park due to their wealthy backer you would imagine we are exactly where we should be in the league based on our crowds/budget. I,d take attendances announced by some clubs with a pinch of salt.Some like to inflate their attendances for some reason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Considering Murray said that releasing Frederiksen helped balance the books I wouldn't bet on anyone coming in to replace him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s pretty much a first team regular now, having displaced the old Captain, who was suspended. I suspect that’s the last we’ll ever see of Conner in SP, but it seems we did a decent job of developing the lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just MacDonald talking in a haphazard way, a bit like John Sim does. You just have to try and pick out the information from all the noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an accountant, consortium has a very specific meaning and usage, so I’ll stay cheerful, why not, the weather here sucks right now, and the results aren’t helping.

Raithie Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Never mind that, MacDonald must be on the sauce if he thinks we'll get 5000 to 6000 for the Motherwell game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Motherwell brought 2,000+ to Arbroath, and we’re certainly easier to reach…we had 1,850+ at ICT…it’s a conventional Saturday afternoon home match, against a team we haven’t seen in 15 years…the weather looks reasonable (not freezing and not raining)…I can see 5,000+ as possible.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, grounds for optimism for a half decent crowd, against ICT we played some good stuff and entertained quite well I thought, just a pity we couldn't see it out. Hopefully be enough to tempt some of the non regulars out of that 2000+ to come along for the Motherwell game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover the Moon Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 FFP reporter can’t even be arsed to put in the date of the game (“weekend of February 11 and 12”). What a hopeless rag of a paper and its coverage of its local team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
