Stellaboz Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 There’s Kennedy back to Rangers. Hopefully freeing up a healthy wage. Another stupid signing. Wanted to play a 352 (or something like that) but signs a winger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Skyline Drifter said: Yeah, this is a nonsense and appears to come from certain bigger clubs complaining about the loss of their hospitality. Very limited benefit as this level but Dunfermline will obviously gain from it. I guess Thistle also have glass fronted hospitality boxes at the back of the Jackie Husband Stand. I think Inverness do too. Anyone else? Do Killie? Anyone else? The ruling is a little silly, but any little fight back against the nonsense restrictions is a positive. Managing 200 inside those boxes will be interesting, there’s normally less than half that. All be it there normally private boxes which won’t be the case this weekend. Edit- in answer to your question Rovers have put a new portacabin in next to the main stand with views of the pitch, I believe they are going to be using that as a hospitality suite.

101 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I see Dean Campbell is expected to go out on loan, perhaps might be looking for a gig higher up the league's but I think he would be near guaranteed game time with us. That said I would imagine Killie now have first dibs on any Aberdeen players ETA hes been linked down south so may be beyond our means.

They are but no date of when it,ll ready for use.It,ll be uitilised as an extension to the hospitality suite in the Main Stand I believe but you need to leave the warmth of the suite to watch the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes our hospitality isn’t available but our new social club is allowing 150 inside watching a live stream. This Government ruling is totally bonkers and makes zero sense.

My wife works at Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline and I can tell you it's on its knees. Staff is down to the bare minimum in the wards. They're so short that my wife is having to do double shifts and that means up at 5.30am, back at 9.00pm and up again tomorrow to do it all again. There's Covid in her ward so it's only a matter of time before she's off too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll all change miraculously when the Premiership and the rugby start up. I can’t believe the easy ride the government are getting from fans and authorities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) The Premiership has had restricted games. They aren't getting favourable treatment. They moved their winter break to avoid having most games under the restrictions. The timeline given by the government for restrictions hasn't (yet) changed. Unsure where this 'miraculous' lifting of the restrictions is coming from when it was the stated intention from the very start.

Yes but my point is 500 outside with 200 inside does not make sense. We should be allowed several thousand outside for games right now. Most stadiums have 3 sides closed off and everyone of the 500 in one stand. Stop defending what is plainly a stupid law just because it is made by your preferred party.

I've done no such thing. All I pointed out was that the Premiership are not getting favourable treatment. Also, the SNP are not my preferred party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
