Geggan would’ve signed by now if he was offered terms and he doesn’t strike me as a Kerr type player. I kinda know what you mean on this one . The old war horse is short of gas and gets injured to much . However seeing him go will be heart braking . His streak of nastiness will be missed and then there was “that goal” and the celebration afterwords ! Legend .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s went down hill massively recently as has the PO King (the other Chinese is Maybole). Last Friday the Po King hasn’t been open in months and it isn’t showing any sign of being open again. Both are decent for what I have tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Andy Halliday is someone who is probably at a decent championship level with experience at a higher level and at 28 could be at the club for a couple of seasons. But for some reason I think he is a total arsehole and we shouldn't touch him. I thought that about Mark Roberts as well mind you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that about Mark Roberts as well mind you I’m sure Andy Halliday said on the Open goal podcast (where he came across very well btw) that he wouldn’t sign for another team in Scotland. Not hard to come across well when “Si Ferry” and “Slaney” are two of the presenters mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Paul Slane is someone with obvious issues, but has attracted an audience because of his personality and I hope it works out for him. That being said, If I spent more than an hour with him I think there would be violence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having someone willing to invest in infrastructure that could lead to self sufficiently financing multiple players for a number of years is what we have been crying out for. Camerons short term survival approach when he took over from Barr lost a lot of assets and left us with basically matchday revenue as almost the sole income. Getting back the club shop and hospitality have been big steps, The social club will be another. If the next step could be buying the carpark back and the old Newton Yard, the money that could be made in matchday parking, maybe even race day parking as well could be a big benefit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
