Chapelhall chap Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 4 hours ago, AndyDD said: Regards the colts debacle, I've sent Airdrie an email outlining my opposition to this and emphasising it in the strongest possible terms (no season ticket, withdraw club 1924 membership, no attendance as long as they are in there etc etc) and have asked them to confirm if they plan to make any sort of a statement on this or any of the other recon plans that have been floated. I expect no reply to be forthcoming, but one never knows for sure. I agree with your views on the Colts etc and I will email as well but I don't think I would go as far as yourself-It took me weeks to get registered for Club 24 ! I suspect our views would be acknowledged and they might weigh such a loss up against the alleged financial inducements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did us a turn when he came into the side last season but hard to say his time with us was anything apart from blighted by injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyDD Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Really liked both home and away kits last season (3rd kit not so much) so be good to see what Umbro have come up with. Still unclear when we'll see the players wearing them on in a game, though. Anyone think we're back playing before 2021? first division looking at October but hard to see the entirety of Leagues 1 and 2 being able to do the same . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Would think most of our young/reserve players will be off. Can't imagine it will be cost effective to run a reserve squad 'next season' no matter what they're paid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the club would save a substantial amount not running a reserve side this season, even if the lads were on minimum wage, A significant number of the young lads were fulltime, I think probably to swell the numbers at training, this was something SM alluded to previously, Nothing been officially announced yet regarding released players etc, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNeil was on the PFA player availability list as are a few of the other reserve players (Willison,Leighton and Ross) though that doesn't necessarily mean they've been released yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Emailed the club about Colts and got a speedy reply to say my views would be passed on to the directors. As to the 14-10-10-10 I have kept my powder dry. Fair dos for at least replying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond10 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Looks as if the 14 - 10 - 10 -10 is also a no go now also. A league with thistle and Falkirk whenever it starts and fans are allowed in will go a long way in helping with gate receipts. However, reduces our chances significantly of getting out the league. Not sure what to make of it tbh will just be glad when it’s back . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khalidonianb Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 With Thistle and Falkirk it will make it a better league, I hope the reconstruction doesn't go ahead. I'm for bigger leagues but this proposal is being rushed through with the intention of saving one team from relegation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 That's a real show of confidence in the club's health overall, as well as being an encouraging signing on pure football basis. Agree with both points but note that it says he's agreed a deal to join the club, rather than joined the club. I assume the club have a rough idea of when the football will start back and have based the start date of his contract on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
