Libero

CHARLIE HAS LEFT THE PARK

completely agree i still rate roy as a good player and useful squad player in our team but for me he doesnt offer as much as attacking option as a midfielder should, undoubted great skill on the ball but doest seem to have that attacking side to his game that we need

fair point, despite his limited opportunities last season he still managed to tuck away a couple of goals, i reckon he can and will be a good addition to the first team squad

rumour has it he was after about ?5k a week, way too much for a celtic reject

can we do a swap? looks like wood is revelling in his loan deal. hopefully if rory were to do the same it would give him the confidence to take his potential onto another level

looks like the red card is going to be rescinded, bit late now though :015:

got to be they think its all over ....... as mentioned above or anything that comes out of andy walkers mouth

great goal from Deano too

full and short versions of highlights on the motherwell site now, linked above. :022:

we got beat 3-1, not sure of teams yet

spot on!! :clapping03:

The guy has played 79 minutes for the club give him a chance!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!! :008: So frustrating, listened to the game on the radio and we certainly didnt deserve to lose it! Was rather puzzled by our starting midfield line-up as i think we have stronger players wide left than Mcbain but was delighted that CC managed to lift the troops after last weeks dissappointing result, sounded like Tokers had a stormer. By all accounts St Mirren ran rangers pretty close today so next week is gonna be a tough game, hopefully we'll maintain an attacking away approach and lady luck is on our side!

i agree suprised about both

profile of Kelly from the Derry website:

Great post, completely agree!

yeah good idea

More than i thought, so we could guesstimate around ?1million for a stand of simliar construction/design for the west side of the ground.

There's actually a thread about that over on Pie and Bovril [HERE] ...... the suggestion is that it would take MANY MILLIONS to re-route the pipe as it is a national transmission pipeline with gas under far higher pressure than regular run of the mill pipes or even gas mains .... i saw the thread there Scotty but remained sceptical as it was a rangers fan known for posting dubious material who started the thread and i have been aware how many wind ups appear on that site not to read too much into what is posted there. I thought maybe someone on this site might have known. Going back to my initial post on this thread this is something i'd like to see, i dont think it is necessarily needed at the moment, its not something i deem a priority at present, everyone likes to see their club progress and expand and i'm no different

I can understand the logic, but a 3000 seat stand would cost millions and even if you did fill it 3 or lets be generous and say 4 times per season it would quite possibly take 10 years to bring in money to cover just the capital costs let alone allowing any of that income to pay for stewarding maintenance and upkeep. Lets also not forget that a 3000 seat stand is probably never going to be built opposite the main stand as there is a trifling little matter of a high pressure gas pipe underground between the stadium and the A9 that would make that impossible if we were to install a stand similar in construction to the ones we have behind the goals, would they be as expensive as millions? cant remember how much the north and south stands cost to build from memory. Does anyone actually know how much it would actually cost to re-route the gas main if it is a viable option? someone who works in a civil engineering firm once told me that in a project he worked on, that re-routing a gas main isnt cheap running into many tens of thousands, whether that is comparible to our case i do not know.

to generate money, one has to speculate to accumulate. lets say we fill it 3 times a season, lets say 3000 seats @ ?25 per head, thats ?225k? any point in adding ?225k to the coffers?

:015: very true but why should we pay to help them!

it would be cheaper but another stand would generate revenue, a scoreboard is pointless other than reminding fans what the score is, i feel quite comfotable in the knowledge that i can remember how many goals have been scored in a game and can tell the time on my watch suffice to know when half time should be! do you honestly think ICT should get a scoreboard for the stadium rather than improving the facilities?

a 4th stand would provide the cacpacity for growth of our clubs support, as a young growing club we need somewhere to put potential fans, agreed we would only fill it maybe a few times a year but hopefully that will happen more often as our team grows. How many teams fill their stadium to capacity every game of the season? not many i'd predict! a much better idea than wasting loads of money on a fancy scoreboard that is neither needed nor beneficial in any way!

theres a difference between what is needed and what 'luxuries' fans would like for the stadium. I think score boards would fall under the luxuries category. IMO we need more turnstiles, a tarred car park with stewards/traffic wardens directing traffic. However i would like to see a fourth stand and a pub built for match day beers! :drinking09:
