Ah. Yes, but it wouldn't be that much. I stick by valuation of £50k (5/6 months left on contract at a League 1 club and has only really shown form for the last 6 months of a 3 year contract).

We budgeted for an average of 2,500. We are averaging about 3,400. But regardless of those figures again I'll make the point we are living within our means. The guys running the club are guys who lost vast sums of money under the previous regime. It's an absolute joy now going to East End on match days. If we go up we'll go from strength to strength.

Plus the way the club is run through social media, it's a lot more engaging, especially with younger people. You hope if we go up and manage to still play attractive and entertaining football, we can get the big crowds back. Dunfermline and the surrounding area is massive and should be getting tapped into. We definitely have the potential.

Again its probably a case of no sale, his value to us is greater than his market value.

If we do get more home fans back it will, as it has always done, plateau at around 4500-5000 for regular games. Obviously derbies and promotion/relegation games will draw more folk in, but for standard league games there will be a limit as there always has been

After an exhausting game yesterday, the priority for this one should be keeping the squad in good nick for the a big game ahead against Stranraer. Unless, with the Rovers having slowed down Peterhead, the champions-elect fancy rewarding us by going into an early celebration mode and giving eleven kids a run-out?

I expect pretty much the same starting 11 again, only difference being Geggan,Byrne or Mccabe filling the 1 position in middle of the park. Geggan will start if fit though. We made 3 subs early in 2nd half, with Stenny game all but over, so no point in resting anyone until promotion is confirmed.

If mccabe and bryne need to start in the middle together then we'll probably need to put someone else into midfield to help out, hopkirk did a reasonable job at that in the new year game which IIRC is the only time we've played 5 in midfield.

If either Josh or Geggan make it they should start with bryme alongside them IMO. If both make it then it's a choice of falky or bryne to play with geggs.

Don't quite understand the sudden excitement over a mccabe just because he played well after the game was won and he was given plenty of space and willing runners in front of him. He'll unlikely get a time where the game is as suited to him as that.

Such a big tie it needs two threads. We seem to be back to the early season form, being able to make changes to the team without weakening it. Surely a right back can't make that big a difference but we have won every game since Craig Reid joined. Team spirit looks good and individually there's a real hunger there too - boys like Wallace and Byrne know they have to make an impact when given the chance.

I agree with this. Josh & Geggs first choice with Byrne filling in for either of them if needed.
