She who dares gins Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Honestly, if we’re getting a share of the gate money I’m absolutely fine with us advertising it. My only issue is that we’ve heard so little about our own academy. Would be nice if we had a full squad list or match reports on their games so we know how they’re getting on. A designated twitter account for the academy would be good and could provide updates on players, matches etc.By we, is that the stadium company? Let them advertise it. Assuming it’s not going into Airdrie’s pockets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium and football club are 2 separate business which just happen to be owned by the same guy, one is profitable and the other isn't. It's hugely important that the profitable one continues to be so and I'm sure today's game is. Cast your mind back to when Jim Ballantyne was complaining about the extortionate rates the stadium company were charging the club and what a wrong un the stadium owner was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Nah they can f**k off. If they want folk to turn up get Celtic to advertise it. Enough folk in Airdrie going to watch Celtic (and Rangers) as it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, would be good if they could update us on our own academy team, heard enough at start of season when signing players for it, something just not right about the place so secret about anything, showing on the park aswell 1 win, notice a good win for Kelty over Queens last night, must be great to be able to beat them , 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mybitchunderprotest Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Don't see a Friday night kick off in Montrose being much more attractive than a Saturday afternoon on Christmas Eve. Who the f**k thought this was a good idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the f**k thought this was a good idea? Montrose presumably? Xmas Eve is notoriously the worst attended games of the season. People do last minute shopping and don't want to be traveling back from away games as Santa's on his way. Families tend to flock together for Xmas and are often away from home. Half the League has moved their Xmas Eve game to the Friday already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players and staff who would not get back to Airdrie untill about 9pm will be deilighted to spent Christmas eve with their families however. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have to then ask yourself what is the point in having games on over the festive period. Before I retired I would have to work backshift and nightshifts on Christmas Eve, some people still do so why are footballers who are being paid to do the job any different? And for the part time players in the squad it's another day which they will have to get time off work to travel. Why not go the whole hog and just completely scrap matches at Christmas and New year if we're worried about inconveniencing players?

It's the usual no consideration whatsoever given to those who would travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given half the SPFL are doing the same it seems many clubs think it will be better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ77 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Fordyce, McCabe, Ballantyne, Frizzel and Rae all out tomorrow. Frizz and Rae expected to be out for another 6-8 weeks. Could be a grim looking starting 11 tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just meaning as they’re the manager and assistant. They’ll both be available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guarantee at some point this season we’ll have to finish a game with 10 men due to an injury after we’ve only made one or two subs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not quite as bad as that but how would the team actually look in this situation, something like this? Lyness McMaster - Watson - ATS - Deveney Telfer - Devenny McGill - Jamieson - Smith Gallagher It would be a good laugh at least. It goes to show how important keeping our key players fit will be this season, as we got very lucky with that last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevchenko Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Couldn't see a match thread for tomorrow so will stick this is here if anyone fancies a listen prior to tomorrow's game. Preview of tomorrow starts from about 20 minutes in to this weeks episode, and a big thanks to @AndyDD for joining us again to get some Airdrie perspective! https://waspsnest.buzzsprout.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
