Aloysius Snuffleupagus Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Have I missed something? Aye, looks like it. We're apparently installing 4G this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It's a decent sized jump from League 2 to League 1 but if you're organised then it's do-able. Although Jim McInally probably has a bigger budget than Young, Peterhead have proven that it can be done. The doom and gloomers could look at us and say "ooohhh but Stirling failed" but many would agree that we weren't ready for League 1 football this season and had a poor choice at the helm at the start of the season (some will argue that we still have a poor choice of manager but that's for another debate). It's going to be interesting to see who comes in at Albion over the summer, but well done and good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compliment Sandwich Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Aye, looks like it. We're apparently installing 4G this summer Excellent. Certainly one way to get round the current pitch problems! Hopefully next season our new slabs terrace will also be open! In all seriousness, it's good to see non-footballing activities being progressed. Hopefully planning permission comes through soon for the unused stand (has it really been pending for a year?) The long-term goal has to be to establish ourselves as a League 1 team. Hopefully by the summer we'll have the infrastructure and team to make a good start in achieving this.

It's going to be interesting to see who comes in at Albion over the summer, but well done and good luck anyway. It's not really - the jump is actually pretty insubstantial. I've had a look at the stats and since the advent of the play-offs, only one league champion has been relegated at the first attempt (Berwick Rangers, who sunk without a trace in 2008). Of the teams that went up via the play-offs, Stranraer (promoted 2007-08, relegated 2008-09) and the current Stirling Albion side have come up then gone back down after a season.

1320Lichtie Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Arbroath went up and nearly won the league the season after It all depends on what happens in the summer to all 10 teams in the division, the gaps pretty insignificant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliftonphil Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Cut-throat decisions were made last Summer in the management staff and the playing roster needs to be treated the same way. decisions which were very risky and roundly criticised but with the benefit of hindsight...

cliftonphil Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well done to the neighbours, hopefully I'll be home for at least one derby. No repeats of the infamous 5th November 2011 please. fair play for the mention though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 decisions which were very risky and roundly criticised but with the benefit of hindsight... I still abhor the treatment of James Ward, who earned our war chest and signed much of the squad - it was rightly criticised - but I'm glad that the Devlin Guinea Pig era was short-lived and some proper football and business brains came to do things properly.

AyrTroopMajor Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 With the imminent departure of Somerset from the list of League One venues and the imminent arrival of Cliftonhill, at least the shitehole ratio is being maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr and Somerset is a shitehole, but at least you can make a decent day of it. Cliftonhill doesn't offer any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
