From the info given in local paper he had been freed by Birmingham City in the summer. Thank you Jambo'ness. That's gives me the information I was looking for. I am helping with some research on Scots youngsters who went to West Bromwich Albion and where they went next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennelton Percy Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 When will we know the outcome of the SFA meeting? Trying to remain calm as we close in on decision day. This really is a huge event in the history of the club. You can never tell with the SFA but let us hope they act with honour and reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the wife if it isn't. She said it was today and there is a fair bit of bunting in my street. ETA Just checked web. Confirmed today was the date. Driven by school calendar and the desire to hold it on a Friday. Edited June 19, 2020 by Jambo'ness missing info 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in Bo’ness a couple of times this week and there’s bunting all over the place. I’d heard the Fair was a week early this year but yet to find out the reason why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit this working from home has reduced my travels, so not seen much of town this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 School term ending next Thursday rather than the Friday so they had to bring it forward a week Was in Bo’ness a couple of times this week and there’s bunting all over the place.

Deanburn Dave Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 The last Friday of term is a half day for teachers and there's been grumblings for years about this. There had been ongoing discussions between the Education authority and the Fair Committee about resolving the issue. There was a suggestion that the Fair Day take place on the last Thursday of term which the committee deemed unacceptable. There was a red line that the Fair Day must be on a Friday so going for the penultimate Friday was deemed the only acceptable option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile have seen something on Facebook that is good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
