Compliment Sandwich Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 The Albion Rovers season 2014/15 thread comes to Pie and Bovril faster than a James Ward contract deadline. Plenty to talk about over the next few months, from £300 a week wages to £10 season tickets, and testimonials to stadium expansions. Will the happy clappers be able to find positives in Reid and Phillips leaving? Will John Devlin make more corporate-like announcements of boardroom changes? Will Albino Rover ever have anything positive to say? All the answers will be revealed over the coming months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bully_wee Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 The focal point of Albion's ambition should undoubtedly be the signing of Newtongrange Star's talented ex-Clyde and Berwick striker, Craig O'Reilly. Linked with a return to Clyde for each of the past 5 seasons, his steady stream of goals would be a boon to any side looking to establish themselves as promotion contenders.

A Believer Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 If you really want to scale the heights, woo his old strike partner back from Bo'ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine any other striker will be a secondary thought to the proven Championship goalscorer we're in talks with! I really should have included the mystery man in my opening post!

the_bully_wee Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 If you really want to scale the heights, woo his old strike partner back from Bo'ness. Would that be Gribben? If so, I'd pay his wages myself just so that he and berwick-the-unbeatable could resume their past friendship. In all seriousness, I wonder who this Championship striker is - presumably he'd be on a fair whack if he dropped down too. More inclined to think it'd be an older guy. Peter MacDonald?

Mysteriously re-signed with his mysterious Championship Club on the Clyde estuary as I am led to believe Deal dead Mr Ward should think twice before letting his considerable stomach rumble...

Albino Rover Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I expect to see half the Arthurlie squad appearing as trialists in the pre-season friendlies, as well as some East Kilbride-based lads. Rovers have those two pools of contacts sewn up. Gary Smith and Martyn McLaughlin to the 'vers- you heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I missed him off then! Do you know who it was? Quite disappointed, although not surprised. A goal-scoring striker must be a priority this summer.

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 When are the ground improvements going to be announced? Or have they confirmed that work on the terracing is definitely going ahead for next season? What else has been mooted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pastmaster Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yes, as I understand it. There were other development plans presented at an open meeting with supporters in March, some of which I would think would need Planning permission so that might take a bit longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans for one or both ends of the ground. This was presented to supporters at an open night held by the BOD about a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
