Can you name one team in Scottish football that Jim Hamilton hasn't played for....

I'll have to hurry you.

Any chance of us putting season tickets on sale?

It’s very strange that nothing’s been announced about this yet. Normally on sale early/mid-May, with early bird ending around now. Usually accompanied with a message about how crucial it is to buy early, since we have no other source of income in May and June… 

The new CEO’s background is in the commercial aspect of football. I can’t understand why he’s let this drag on for so long, without any update on season tickets. It’s almost as if the club have just forgotten about them. Cook suggested in that interview last week that we would hear this week, but with the club announcing that their offices are now closed until Tuesday, that must be unlikely.

On Saturday, it will be 4 weeks since our season ended and, so far, we have brought in a new manager, but no coaching team. I was told last week that Shields has accepted a move to the academy, so I’m surprised that there’s been no news on the coaching side. We’ve released everyone who was out of contract, no offers made to anyone. We seem to have forgotten about season tickets and are behind where we usually are with regards to new kit/leisurewear being released. Again, this is usually described as a crucial revenue stream at this time of year.

McPake said the coaching stuff may take some time. I’d guess the Kelty Hearts job/Charlie Adam is a factor. Who knows, we might have a couple of signings to show next week which could help a season ticket launch.

I highly doubt you'll be signing Adam. McPake refused to sign his best mate Dorrans again because it was a case of one or the other. Adam was also on £3.5k per week with us - if we could've got him on a cut price deal we'd have certainly have kept him on. He's back in Blackpool just now in any case.

Only way he'll go to a Scottish club again is if it includes the manager job IMO.

Could be wrong, but certainly can't see it being remotely feasible.

He’ll be fine at this level. While he is liable to the odd mistake, he’ll get away with a lot more of them down here. Good signing for you.

Patched Falkirk for the big team. Liking Benedictus already.

Given we already have Donaldson, Henderson, Watson, and McKay(shudder) as centre back options, not so sure he was a priority.

He needs to play for us first before you can sign him anyway. Those are the rules.
