Stayed full time when we went to League 1 and switched to stats based recruitment under Martindale in 2015. I don't think we've made a loss since then and reduced debt from 1.2m to 200k now. We're slowly un-basketcasing ourselves Good to hear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're slowly un-basketcasing ourselves [emoji3] When you consider you’ve also consolidated in the Premiership it’s quite an achievement. Fair play. It shows it can be done with a proper business plan and astute player recruitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomessi1984 Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Bit of a canter today in the end. Thought the diving header OG would pull Stirling back into it for the last 20 mins but never materialised. Sterner tests to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to laugh at folk who try to play down how far ahead of the rest Kelty should be. Even if it’s close in January, the chequebook will just come out. Same as QP and Cove previously, the rest are playing for positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iateallthepies Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 With all the hype about Kelty (mostly from people like me) Forfar have gone a bit under the radar and have started well, I'm sure they'll give Kelty a game. Kelty just look too strong for everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomessi1984 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Interesting trip Tuesday coming up. Another ground ticked off the list and feel we should win. Would expect Thomson to make a lot of changes though. Not seen any ticket / pay at gate info etc?

Pretty poor they haven’t promoted the match re pricing etc. I disagree with the B teams in the Lowland League but at least the 2 promote the games well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossgatesCynic Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I would think Stirling Albion will be one of the tougher tests faced in the league by Kelty this year. I'd expect Kelty to comfortably win League 2 but it'll be of no surprise when they drop daft points throughout the season; it's practically the norm at this level. I agree with the notion that more signings will follow in January if things are tighter than expected. I can't quite see that being the case though. Other teams will be dropping points against each other as the weeks go on and that alone should see Kelty build up a points cushion ahead of the pack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that 3 B teams have now withdrawn due to Covid allegedly Been a better comp if more LL and HL were invited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
