Best girfuy since Watson mooned the Raith support. Our support were fantastic that game. I went mental when Higgy scored. Even cuddled the wife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point the fixtures and how they will operate will have to be decided by the relevant authorities. Once that is done, then I'll buy my season ticket. Am I writing this in Swahili or something? You’ve totally missed SD’s point brother. He’s just saying that even a few days before the first game, no one will be able to confirm it’ll definitely take place because it’s entirely based on the latest advice and guidance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-season is normally quite soon, and there is a lot of development in the background, so here's hoping we can get some names added to the pool soon in preparation for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season isn't scheduled to start until mid-October then i doubt our pre-season will start until mid-late August at the earliest. Given the club may have to pay for folks it signs (unless they agree to a delayed contract start) then i don't see us announcing anyone soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford and his team seems to identify signings early and generally knows who he wants, so hopefully he's already got folk in mind and won't panic buy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be that way but it must be difficult to try and sign someone up if you need to say 'can you wait till August', if there is a club offering a slightly lower wage (for example) but can sign in the next month or so - that added security must be welcome for some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it's going to be a game of who blinks in a lot of cases, as once someone starts with the signings other clubs will have to get in or miss out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Not that I think we can, or will, compete with Premiership clubs for players but don't they get yet another advantage over the rest by being able to offer a contract sooner? If they start a month or two before the Championship how can any lower league club pick up a fair standard player? It drives the gap between the top and the rest even greater the way it's setting out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it's beneficial, players out of the managers plans in the first few weeks will be more receptive to loans... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 It does but nobody has forced the championship's hand by starting late. It's been a collective (and unanimous from what I gather) decision to start in October.Already seen Scott Fox, Shaun Rooney and Jordan White make the jump up. I imagine many premiership teams will continue looking at the championship for players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can definitely see some comedy scorelines early in the season, especially if games are in empty grounds and that whole crowd/pressure dynamic has changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Thought that was Owain being announced there on FB but it was just a post about him handing the painting he did over. Would take him between the sticks next season tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Would take him back. He's far too good for League 1, but he's blown hot and cold in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Don't believe it for a second. However yes, I'd be happy with him coming back. Decent player, great pace and could be decent with Dow on the right supplying. Also, ANNOUNCE DOM THOMAS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Yup, liked him the first time and would be happy to see him here. Edited June 25, 2020 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
