Roddy Hunter and him I believe are pals (both been at various clubs together) and I think an old coach of theirs was at Forth, hence them both joining. But I don't think they lasted long as when I looked at the Forth thread on here very rarely either was mentioned, so assumed both were away.

No way is that economically sustainable for any junior team, even a big club like Pollok or Beith. That must be close to a new Beith player's signing on fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollok are run by the fans for the fans. The clubs finances are reported to the members every season. No way would the "body of the Kirk" so to speak gamble the clubs long term future for one shot at glory. Seen far to many teams do it and fail. A lot of big players have left Pollok in the last 18months. For example Monti and Frye won't have been on expenses nor the Winters brothers.

A much better player than that level. Yet he has decided to leave a team in the Super Premier League, and turn down the interests of another Premier League team to join us, plus interest from another team who I regard as a "big club" in comparison to our resources. Gary clearly doesn't agree with you. If he is going to jump ship when a supposed "big team" comes along, why hasn't he just stayed with Arthurlie or joined one of the other "big teams" who wanted him now ?

Not strictly true,Kevin Biggart and Del, done all the hard work progressing through the leagues only to be dumped when Hurlford hit the big time.Despicable how they were treated and im surprised they've not been given the chance to manage another club,or maybe that experiance has put them off.Two cracking guys they are too.

Pish, remember Willie Irvine and the contracts he had players on? Stop treating folk with contempt. Pollock have one of the highest budgets in this league and I can't see that changing in the near future. I have absolutely no issue with the amount of money your club spends on players but please stop talking pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're interested to know if your own club was interested, then the answer to that is that I haven't heard Clydebank linked, but that doesn't mean that they weren't. You don't have to believe me, it's up to you, it really doesn't make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BumbleBeeBlastie Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Who cares what pollok have spent. I'm sure if your clubs had the money to spend you's would do the exact same. Yep I would expect no less from my club mate. It's the denial that money being spent that winds me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
