Ludo*1 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Fisher's progress was hampered significantly by injury. Was out for about a year and then his last loan spell at Forfar was disrupted by injury. He'd probably be in our first team if he had that extra development time. Certainly has all the tools to make it as a decent CH. Very vocal CH as well. Big season for someone who McPake rated highly. Hope he does well.

LoonsYouthTeam Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Fisher has been on loan at us at various points over the last 2 seasons, there's definitely some positives in there, he's quite big and he's no slouch. He's generally quite strong in the tackle and had a few excellent last ditch blocks for us. Unfortunately a lot of that came from him being caught out of position and/or switching off completely. For me, he needs somebody beside him organising him. Interesting to see how he does, and he does definitely have the potential, but from his time with us I wasn't too fussed about him coming back. He'll probably be excellent now I've said that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hopefully he will learn that through time and experience. Benedictus seems like a very good organiser and leader, something we were sorely missing in any of our 25 centre halfs that played last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Sounds like a good signing. Was an area everyone knew needed strengthened. Should mean that we won't need to lose Hamilton from the midfield if one of the centre backs get injured, although two of them being injured or one suspended and one injured would bring that scenario in to play. Hopefully that doesn't happen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Did anyone make it along to the open training session? Anything worth mentioning? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I think Fisher will benefit hugely from having Bene in beside him, hope this loan move is the making of Sam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 He'll be third choice at the moment, however there's not a chance that Bene and Breen get through the season without injury or suspension so he'll get his chance at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man was there not the best thing for adults so him and his pal just blethered. Good for the kids to interact with the players though, I had thought it was bizzare to have it on a Tuesday morning, without realising the schools were off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 No trialists spotted at the open event then. Thought we might have some photos of an unidentfied player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumPar Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Sold the naming rights to East End. Now KDM Group East End Park. Controversial, but probably inevitable. We clearly need to maximise revenue, given the decrease in prize money/ticket revenue in league 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't make a bit of difference as we'll all still call it East End Park or EEP anyway. Hope they got a nice bag of cash for it. I'd have went for a simple "KDM Park" myself tbh.

DA Baracus Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hmmm. I'll still call it East End. Given the financial shitshow coming it's probably a good move, but still doesn't sit easy. Suppose it doesn't particularly matter since everyone will still call it East End Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaton Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Not that we'll know the finer details but anyone know roughly how much selling the naming rights to EEP will actually generate. Not sure how I feel about this but a lot of clubs doing it these days.Yeah I get it but still doesn't sit right. Would like to know some idea of the figure, even number of digits to soften the blow and understand if it was worthwhile. I guess it's have been and appreciate it still being East End at least rather than the Tony Macaroni or even worse, Frankie and Bennie stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I really don't see how this can be viewed as anything other than positive? We get a bit of bonus cash, KDM get their name everywhere (The gaffers are Pars fans through & through I believe), the current name is retained & none of us will call the ground anything other than EEP. The only people who will use this name are the Sportsound reporters if/when we return to the Championship. The only place I hear some of these ridiculous new stadium names is on the radio or on Sportscene.

Have some faith in Magic Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I am not precious about it at all. It still has East End Park in the title, could have been something really stupid like 'the penny cars stadium' or whatever launderette is sponsoring Hamilton this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andriy_Parmolenko Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Fantastic. Still has East End Park in the name, and hopefully they’ve given us a nice sizeable sum for the privilege. Why anyone would turn their nose up at this because it makes us “tinpot” or whatever is baffling. Richest clubs in the world do this kind of stuff, and we’re hardly in a position to sneer at them for it.Now put that money to good use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
