sidofthesouth Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 As their name suggests, County also pull support from the whole of Ross-shire. This includes towns like Alness, Invergordon & Tain, as well as the whole of the Black Isle. Probs around 60,000 people in total. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Please don't suggest our model is even remotely close to Countys. We cut our budget year on year and support losses through a huge pot of money we've built up over decades. Countys losses, over £800k in a good year, are completely wiped out by the chairman's personal fund, and their third choice striker is on over £5k a week. Theyve used about forty players in ever top flight season, and regularly buy double figures worth of players in January if things aren't going well. Totally agree - Ross County model is a completely false one as opposed to the St J one which is realistic, in keeping with the size of the club and built on sound business values. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northfield 53 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Kevin Holt would be a amazing signing up there with the Dobbie signing . Holt still has a house in Dumfries but as always the problem is money he is on 3 times as much at Dundee but I can't see how we can get close to that but in saying that I never thought we would get Dobbie back !!! Andy Stirling think it would be best to let go . The playoff games he did nothing to suggest that he could add anything to our squad. Don Thomas us at a different level that Stirling hopefully we can get him back on loan . Edited May 13, 2018 by Northfield 53 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s still a fair few folk up that way who don’t like what happened with the ICT merger. Saw a couple of guys wearing Ross County gear in Stornoway the other week (most locals seem to have a fondness for The Rangers no doubt due to the fundamentalist presbaterianism practiced in those parts). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doonhamer64 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I'm sure Ross County will be just as delighted to have to make two visits down to Dumfries! Weren't they the opponents when we had the double floodlight failure in two games against them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbie was a good player in the English Championship in his prime, while Holt has reached the heady heights of Dundee. Don't get wrong, Holt would be an outstanding signing for Queens but not in the same universe as Dobbie. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Also, can more people mention Gretna and County pls? I get a real kick out of SD losing his composure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I really don't think we'll ever top the signing of Dobbie tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 He's obviously talking out of his arse with the comparison, but it is at least nice to see a positive post from serial bed-wetter Northfield. If we sign Holt he'll need to edit his standard template for new match threads. "Really hard game this, can't see Queens getting anything from it. We have nothing apart from Dobbie and Holt." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QoS_Blue1919 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Interesting to see Laszlo letting Scott Fraser go, arguably their best player. Would take both him and Durnan in a heartbeat, however I wouldn’t be surprised to see vinnie go to Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGdavieT Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 With Dundee United keeping Laszlo and two part time teams can it be argued the league is a bit weaker next season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one part time team (Alloa, who are unlikely to have a Brechin season). With Falkirk unlikely to be a car crash this time and either Thistle replacing Livi or Livi staying down on the back of big prize money there is a good argument its a stronger league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I thought the same as you but there were a few references to Ayr being a “part time team with one or two full timers” on sportsound the other night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
