microdave Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It wouldn't bother me which division we play in. We were a mid table (at best) league 1 team at the start of this decade. I love being in the Championship but I don't fear relegation. The last nine years have been amazing but when (if) we head back down it won't stop me going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it won't.It's just not something I'd be mad keen on actually happening to us, as much as it's a guarantee that it will happen some time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given our boards recent record with managerial appointments I'd be massively surprised to see us appoint a Jim Fallon or a Colin Nish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sons'r'us Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Given our boards recent record with managerial appointments I'd be massively surprised to see us appoint a Jim Fallon or a Colin Nish. Not sure I would be so confident. Gilbert Lawrie was instrumental in both appointments and is sadly no longer with us. I can't see another gem been unearthed next time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see another gem been unearthed next time. He was certainly involved but not instrumental. There is nothing to suggest we couldn't make another good appointment, but it's always a punt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 If you think the current stadium plans are far fetched, these plans are on display at the Hampden museum. It was to turn Boghead into an 8650 all seater stadium in the 1990s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Some rather interesting and familiar things happening at Boston United - http://www.thequadrantboston.co.uk/the-project/football-stadium/ New stadium costing 12 million, money being raised by sale of land for houses (which by the looks of some newspaper articles isn't raising enough), possibly building it in stages, community hub, hotel, office space etc. Anyone know if Boston recently appointed a director by the name of Ian Wilson? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pah, they don't even have a Robert the Bruce themed museum. What a diddy team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm not surprised.There's really no way for small clubs to build a new ground these days without there being some kind of enabling development. Look at the likes of Clyde, Airdrie and Livingston - 3 grounds where there really needs to be better development of the area around the ground. Almondvale is set to have houses built around it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your point but would scratch Clyde from your list. It would be a shame if the various sport facilities (5 aside pitches, tennis courts, bmx track) which encircle Broadwood were encroached upon by yet more housing development 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I don't know if it was DFC, Celtic, The SFA or Sam himself who organised this, but it's great to see one of our players out interacting with the community. Combined with the cheap entry prices hopefully he might've convinced a few kids to head along tomorrow night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitken visits local schools and clubs and if a player is available they do so too where possible. Good to see it getting some social media coverage though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a brilliant way of getting kids involved imo - especially at Primary School. I remember being totally starstruck when we got a visit from Derek Ferguson when I was in P7 (and he was Stranraer manager). Can only imagine what an 11 year old me would be like if Froxy sauntered into Craigdhu Primary for a wee afternoon football session 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
