This league is going to be a big step up, we need to add quality in areas where we were below par last year. Our defence was actually v good when it was settled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondatheart Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The requirements for the Championship are the same as the Premiership. sure theres a 6000 min seat rule in place ,first it was 10'000 hence why we now have 9'000 spare seats on a match day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Aye it was a completely pointless rule that’s just resulted in several clubs having massive white elephants. Somerset definitely needs a lot of work but I’m kind of glad our stadium deal fell through (twice), f**k going to an all-seater every other week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calayrdonia Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 The midfielders and forwards who have signed are excellent news. But let’s not be kidded here, unless we add a minimum of 3 defenders of real quality, including a right back and left back, we are going to be in big trouble at the back next season. Last season we so often relied on outscoring teams to paper over the cracks and get away with it.... that’s not going to work this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be true up to a point but the alternative view is that it was a team set up to attack, which means risks are taken and gaps appear. The team still managed 12 clean sheets in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Michael Paton being released by us. Versatile player (when fit). Centre or right mid and also a handy left back. Too slow to be a right winger now but very tidy if played at LB or centre mid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yid_in_Exiile Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Personally I would say we need real pace in our defence, which currently neither Geggan or Bell have - decent players may they be - and obviously an experienced keeper. We will probably have enough in midfield to be competitive at least, assuming Robbie and Declan re-sign. Would like a proper winger but what remains of the budget needs to go on our defence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an absolutely disgraceful rule, to be frank. You were fucked over, as were Falkirk whose ground was deemed 'unsuitable', as were Gretna who were made to play in a town absolutely nowhere near Gretna, as were Livi who now have the same issue as you with the 9k empty seats. Think they justified it by trotting out the old 'safety' line, but if Somerset/Brockville/Broomfield were safe to host games in Division One, what exactly made them unsafe for the SPL? Nonsense. It's good that it's been scrapped, but it's too late for some. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for all intents and purposes it would have been ok to be killed in a crush at a cup match but certainly not in a league match. Very strange reasoning by our chiefs............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I think all we have to remember here are that Scottish Football chiefs are clueless bafoons, so nothing should be surprising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
