airdrieman Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 No surprise at all and well deserved. I fully expect him to sweep the fans' vote too. Was Accies letting him go for nothing an even worse decision than letting someone steal a million quid from their bank account? Undoubtedly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tory Boy Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The Podcast was an interesting listen. I wonder how many people signed up for the 1924 Club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts Good listen once again. Agree with everything he said RE the vote. The talk of wanting to sign more full-time players, hoping to sign Smith and Ryan should they be free to leave Dunfermline and of players already being offered to the club is a positive. Obviously it's all totally budget dependent and dependent on the state of the club's finances after so long without any football but I am sure he wouldn't be saying these things on a public forum if he didn't think the club would be able to come out of the pandemic in a healthy position. I'm always impressed with Stan and it's brilliant to see the club represented by somebody as articulate and who clearly has the best interests of the club at heart and mind. It's been a long time coming but we finally have a club who are putting in the time and effort to give us a club to be proud of both on and off the park. Good message from Millar for 1924 members in their inbox today as well. RE the player, the first one that came to mind was John Rankin though I am not sure if he fits the 3 months timeline and/or if he was already signed up by Clyde for the 19/20 season. Craig Barr would also be a logical guess. Edited April 30, 2020 by airdrieman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airdrie Community Trust is the one affiliated to the Club. Diamonds in the Community is made up folk who were part of the old Supporters Trust. I think the Supporters Trust is still running as well but with a different committee? Both the ACT & DITC have fans on the committees. Just disappointing it's all came to this. A club our size and we've got all these factions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 30 minutes ago, airdrieman said: Another well deserved winner. My choice for POTY too. Agreed. POTY has to be one of the back line for me. Gallagher has scored a decent amount of goals and Carrick had a great run of form, but none of the forwards were as consistent as the back line across the whole season. McCann has done well in his first season, as has McDonald overall. Crighton and Fordyce have been really solid all season but would have Fordyce slightly ahead. One of those players that can go unnoticed, which for a centre back I think is always a good sign. Does his job really well without any fuss. The fact the players selected him is telling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask whether the club-controlled one was open to all supporters or just those the club decided to invite but, tbh, there's no real point in re-opening the whole club vs trust discussion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalDiamond Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The Podcast was an interesting listen. [emoji106] I wonder how many people signed up for the 1924 Club. Thanks, the interviews with Stuart are always popular and he always strikes me as being very pragmatic and full of common sense. I think the way in which they did Club 1924 is quite clever. It’s great for me as I miss games and if I just bought a season ticket then the VAT man would be taking a chunk of my money. I’m not expecting anything back, but if I ever win anything on the prize draw then those are prizes that would appeal to fans but don’t cost the club too much e.g. hospitality/signed jerseys. I hope it’s a success. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond10 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Chucky and Callum Smith would be outstanding additions if we can pull it off . Also thought big Nat was coming on a bit just before all this started . Noticed he mentioned the fact we had 2 part time goalkeepers so guessing a full time one might be a high priority also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was definitely the implication from what he said. He stopped short of saying it but could tell he felt having part-time goalies held us back a bit. I wouldn't have said it was that obvious an issue, however I guess organising set-pieces (and any defensive situation really) doesn't really work in training if neither of your goalies are there, and set-pieces were a slight issue. Would expect, all going well, they are wanting a full-timer with Hutton as back up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
