microdave Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I see Infantino wants every country in the world to have a stadium named after Pele. We already have a mascot called that so I think we should be Scotland's representative for this. The Pele stadium has a nice ring to it although as I've been typing maybe the Blue Brazil might fancy it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, if we're voluntarily changing to anything it's "The Rock". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamCarson Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 We could have it as The Pele ( The Elephant) Stadium for one season, get some publicity, get a Santos Sons Supporters club set up etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could weigh in with a sponsorship tie-in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long gone sadly, as is Santos Costa RIP Many happy memories of stumbling out of Quincy's Nightclub for one of his pizzas. It's a bridal/kilt hire emporium now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 This did appear on Twitter but it appears to have been deleted. I didn’t really expect us to be competing in a random friendly inbetween a run of important fixtures but perhaps Farrell has 11 trialists he wants to take a look at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only think Pollok made a dogs arse of it by announcing it and saying supporters welcome, when in fact its likely to be a closed door game. Can't imagine we would be taking a full on friendly as u say at an important time of the season. Closed doors games happen on a regular basis, usually on training days, from lower league sides and us fans are none the wiser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarko_son Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Glad to see that Byrne is back in training now and hopefully we can see him back in the squad soon. Nice gesture from Gemmell as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Some fairly solid business done by Stirling today IMO. Despite having a good season it looks like they aren’t standing still and are being proactive in trying to make their squad even stronger. Hopefully we do the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Was there a rumour that we had budget for one more player back in August but couldn't find the right one? Will we make enough money from the Killie game to fund another signing? They had a home tie against (then L2) Queen's Park in 2020 at this stage that drew a crowd of just over 4000. That could maybe net us about 15k. Or will it be a one out, one in situation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could maybe net us about 15k. Or will it be a one out, one in situation? I would hope that we could make some additions as we've picked up some prize money already from this run. Plus as you say a decent crowd at Killie hopefully? Naturally I don't want us to just bring bodies in for the sake of it and we wreck the chemistry we have but Stirling have strengthened so we have to as well. Hopefully there's some people we're looking at or working on looking to bring in. Surely this is the time for Henning's Scandinavian contacts and scouting network to find us Haaland 2.0 who only wants £100 a week? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same principle applies if you're positioned anywhere in the league. You can't sit still while other teams grow stronger. That said, Dumbarton really don't seem to need a lot of work to make them unstoppable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsanorak Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I think the chat about another forward was pre John Gemmell. It could well be 1 in 1 out, but we should be looking to strengthen our options, at least up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
