Either Mcdaid or Brownlie is my guess

Won’t be Brownlie. He’s Particks best centre back and is still contracted. I don’t see McDaid as being a target either. Crawford seemed plausible but I don’t think we’d sign him and Sibbald.

Genuinely struggling to think of ex players that would both be good enough to get a good reaction and within our price range.

Yeah it definitely wouldn't be an issue in terms of numbers. Probably get some some good atmospheres in the SRE with more in. Unless we're shite, then just an extra wee bit of toxicity.

The north terrace will be shut for a year, the capacity would be reduced to just over 6000 during the works so should have minimal impact to league games. 

The terrace and barriers will remain the same on the north terrace.

Some more info on Bangala would be great, seems like a punt at this stage. Interested to know how it came about as he doesn’t appear to have played regularly in his career so far. 20 games in two years at struggling Pohronie.

Bullen was asked where he came from and had a brilliant answer.

Basically he was playing in a charity match at Hillsborough a few weeks ago and so was ex Sheff Wednesday and Coventry defender, Reda Johnson. Johnson asked if we were after a midfielder and Bullen says yeah and is told to have a look at this guy. The club went away and did all the due diligence and decided to sign him.

Apparently he’s had a really hard life. Lost his mum when he was about 11 or so and then lost his dad a couple of years back which led to him raising a younger sibling basically. Seems to have a fantastic attitude to coming over and playing which Bullen is really pleased with.

He's got a back story that will no doubt be in his interview with the AU media.

Someone asked Mathie how they found a French player playing in Slovakia. He handed the mic to Bullen.  He was recommended by a contact of Bullens who he met a couple of weeks ago. Said he was a good prospect at a good age, His footage made him look amazing. 

He said he'll take the credit for signing him, unless he's shite

Did they mention anything about what the target is for this season and beyond on the pitch. 

No target other than an outcome of "competing in the premier league and winning a major trophy" at some point, he did say that wasn't a short term plan.

Don’t mean to be a downer but how does this attract your average punter other than the roof? Seems like a large investment for basically a new hospitality suite, how long to get a return on it? What about the rest of the stadium for folk that’re there every week or to attract away fans?

As an away fan to Somerset fairly recently, I would say it's one of the best away places in the country because of it's historic status.

There's seating available for those who need it in the Main Stand, as well as Covered Terracing behind the goal which is perfect. The only thing which could be improved is the toilets.

The new stand/cover looks great and you guys should be proud of it.

If and it's a big if we get sibbald over the line we could end up a bit like this obviously we have options in O'connor for Ashford if you want a proper winger and we still need that CB but it's definitely and upgrade from Hopkins team at the start of last season
