The problem is that whilst we originally had 50:50 ownership through the FCSL,when that was demerged the council had by then put up the 2 million quid for the north stand and had provided loans to keep the whole thing running. That's why the demerger split came out in the council's favour and we no longer owned anything but had instead 175 year leases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 6'4" could be what is needed He's brutal. Mind him playing against us for Dundee united and he was absolutely honking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the South Stand only cost around £1.25 million, but then again that was probably a private enterprise working on the building rather than the council, so nothing surprises me. If I remember correctly, we only owned around 2/7 to 3/7ths of the Brockville site that got sold to Morrisons, with the Council owning the other portion.

Yeah I agree. Club seem a bit late to the party with season ticket details as well. Maybe hanging off to find out what the score is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they’re holding off till they can get a few decent signings to tempt fans to part with their money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Not particularly happy with that one. Telfer and Connolly were bigger losses to Morton than him and they’ve both been in our team that has failed to win promotion two years in a row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Telfer was any great loss to them at the time either. If he’s of a similar standard to Connolly but can stay fit for the full season he will be good for us. We desperately needed competition in wide areas last season with Morrison being our only option when Connolly was out injured. Nesbitt is a massive improvement over Robbie Leitch.

I thought Telfer was a big loss to Morton at the time though. Time will tell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Not particularly happy with that one. Telfer and Connolly were bigger losses to Morton than him and they’ve both been in our team that has failed to win promotion two years in a row. It’s not an exact science (player x came from club x and we are still in league one = any player from club x won’t get us out of League One).As pointed out Connolly has never played for Morton either.I’m sceptical about getting excited about any players due to how we’ve been burned in the past. Players from a higher level, younger players, experienced players, there’s not been a magic formula to work out what type of players we should be going for.We were definitely short in wide areas last season, relying on Leitch and a 17 year old making his first team debut for a slot on the left hand side, sometimes even using Josh Todd ffs. I suspect he will be an upgrade on those at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
