tamthebam Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Smiling. It's overrated. We long term City fans have always shown the Joie de Vivre of a Free Presbyterian Church Entertainments Committee as we suspect disaster lurks around every corner... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the fears from some that Naysmith would be for the chop after the Forfar defeat 6 weeks ago have been allayed by a run of 13 points from 6 games. I wish he'd smile once in a while thought. Even after a decent away win he looks like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders. It most certainly was a good win on the road on Saturday at Annan. They have had a very good start to the season and I didn't expect City to pick up the 3 points. In fact, I'd have been happy with a draw. I don't feel anywhere near as fearful as I was earlier in the season in term of being in a dog fight at the bottom. I think the introduction of Brian Schwake has helped with that massively. The defence appear more confident, understandably, having him in behind them. Innes Murray has made a difference and is playing like a player with a point to prove following a bad injury at Hibs. He's contributed massively and gives us energy and grit in the middle. Ouzy See is now playing with more confidence and has found a little bit of form as well, someone highlighted him being a confidence player on this thread a few pages back and got it spot on. I feel like we never have the full squad fit though, that would be a nice problem for Naysmith to have, dare I say it, he might even smile at that point! In all seriousness, it would be great if Toshney and Jardine could stay for for a few weeks and get a run of games. A good chance of 3 points on Friday night too with a struggling Cowdenbeath coming to Ainslie Park. With Kelty Hearts being the next league game, we need to get the win... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Jacobite Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 The team are really coming together. Manager is building a fast paced, fit young team and had a few challenges since the start with injuries. If we can keep in the top 5, get our 5 or 6 injured players back, then we should be in a good place for the second half of the season. Get back to Meadowbank and build into next season. Our strongest team is a match with anyone in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I think you’ll like Dave McKay. Not sure about your injury situation or normal formations, but he’s a solid right side defender at Center Half or Full Back. Not a massive attacker, and has never been a pelt up the wing and cross all the time type, but should do you a solid shift in back, with the occasional foray forward. https://www.raithrovers.net/50372/david-mckay-3.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Cabbage Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Anyone have any idea when the Meadowbank move is likely to happen? All I can find online is an article from a couple of months back saying the target date was the 1st of November, is this likely to be the date? Made it along to the Elgin game but Ainslie Park really isn’t well located and I would like to go to more games but it’s just a bit of a pain in the arse to get to, having said that, planning to go to the Kelty game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatboyFatFTS Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 So then. Friday night Football. Attendances of 313, 338, 379 (was originally down as 479 but corrected in last night's programme) and 314. Not exactly the rip-roaring success the club were hoping for. If anything, we're actually down on the average attendance and havent got any away fan bounce. We've now folk saying they wont be back until we're back playing at Meadowbank. I can only assume the club are hoping for a big Meadowbank bounce but at the moment, the combo of Friday's and AP are having the effect some of us feared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you Cowdenbeath that your team has games every Saturday! Tell you what, if City decide to play the Bo'ness game on the Friday night then you're welcome to have my seat as I won't be bothering! Funnily enough I might go to Cowdenbeath that Saturday if I'm looking for a game as I quite like to watch the odd Civil Service Strollers match! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume the club are hoping for a big Meadowbank bounce but at the moment, the combo of Friday's and AP are having the effect some of us feared.Must admit, as an away supporter that tries to watch Stirling most weeks, I never attended the game a couple of weeks ago due to those 2 factors.I’m not a huge fan of AP, it’s not to dissimilar to amateur set ups that I played in for years and just not a good place to go and watch professional football in my opinion. However, on it’s own, it wouldn’t stop me from attending matches. The Friday night thing did though, by the time I finish work and fight through traffic to get home, pick my son up and head into Edinburgh, it’s simply too much rushing about and I probably would have got there just as it kicked off or a couple of minutes into the game.It’s a pity for Edinburgh because in theory it’s an idea that would seem to work but ultimately you’re not going to attract the fanbase you are targeting on anymore than the odd game and have isolated a large number of people in the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And therein lies the issue - other clubs have tried it and its never really worked. There was no market research done either, so in the process have alienated a lot of people. As I said above, they're hoping Meadowbank provides a boost. Crowds were relatively decent there previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only club I think it really worked for was Tranmere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
