davidmcc Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I'd honestly avoid all players with a past history of missing significant numbers of games. It's like paying a player double salary. Charles Dunne as an example. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with us at the minute is not understanding exactly what shape we're aiming for so it's unclear how anyone fits in, and where we will need squad depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfish Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Interesting mass email from the club/the chairman this evening:- Season tickets on sale from Monday (23 May)- 3 week early bird window for existing ST holders- Family ticket deal now includes up to 3 under 17’s rather than up to 2 under 13’s- Unemployed now part of concession rate- Survey coming out on giving the Family Stand to the Old Firm - SMISA members, existing ST holders and registered purchasers will be included- prices increasing this year, but figures not mentioned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempes Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I remember watching a very young Spittal, I think he must have been about 18, take Clyde apart at Broadwood. I’ve always quite liked him, good passer and can be excellent at free kicks. Thistle fans were glad to see him go as they thought he was a coward! They could have done with him over the last few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price for the South Stand will tell us what games are and are not included. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 As someone who generally despairs about our club’s PR, I think the e-mail I got from the club today concerning efforts to make STs affordable for different groups of people by introducing various packages was fair enough. Not surprised to find the ‘standard ST’ prices are going up - everything else feckin’ is. Will be interesting though to see the survey about uglies in the South Stand. Interested to see how they word it, and present it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a South Stand season ticket holder, so I’m intrigued what the renewal price will be and what the associated terms are.Makes the survey a bit pointless mind you… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 I have no qualms about a modest rise in my own season ticket if that is offset by letting in more people who couldn't previously afford to do so such as kids, students and those out of work. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutterings of Villa wanting £50m for him. 15% of profit to Hibs, who give us a third. We'd then get another 3.5% of the total transfer as development fee, Hibs get an additional 1.5% as they had him between 21-22. Means on a £50m transfer, Hibs would be getting 15% of £47m (minus the three Villa paid for him) = £7m and passing us around £2.32m of that In addition, they'd get another £750k development fee and we'd bag £1.75m So nearly £5.5m for Hibs and a touch over £4m for us in total. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Don't we get all worked up about a MegaMcGinn move every window? Still it would be nice. I wish I was the sort of fan who could let it go during the close season... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttocks Brown Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 If it happened you wonder what we would actually do with £4,000,000.... Obviously the manager's budget would increase a bit but might we see a big, structural project around the stadium or training ground e.g. safe standing? The board must have had the "what if..." discussion you would think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
