Here's what I said on another thread on Saturday: "The administrators have to report to creditors within 8 weeks, setting out their proposals. I reckon that this will be during w/c 9th Dec. But I don't know if that report - or part of it - is made public, although some information will inevitably leak out. I'd guess that right now the administrators are fully focussed on that deadline."

Not any more

Not very far from where a lot of my ancestors were born, lived, and died - as I mentioned earlier!

There's a website for the area which has an almost identical photograph on it.

Strictly speaking you are correct. But if a team bus crashed in blizzard conditions at, say, Drumochter, with serious injuries or worse, and the team was travelling against police advice because the authorities had not postponed a game, then the authorities would be open to extremely serious criticism and perhaps even litigation for negligence. They can't ignore the wider consequences of their actions or inactions.

Absolutely disgraceful - incompetent if not downright negligent. Who schedules and arranges pitch inspections - the SPFL or the home team? In a just world, there would be a strong case for compensation for wasted time and money.

At least you had a decent map! Earlier this year, I was scrambling round Camelon Cemetery in Falkirk, looking for some of my wife's family. All we had a lair number, and a map which indicated which part of the cemetery it would be in. Eventually we realised that one or two of the graves had the lair number on the side of the stone or of the plinth, and so by counting between two we were able to narrow the search down to a two or three lair gap with no stone. A few years ago, my wife investigated my mother's family. My maternal grandfather's family came from around Skye, Knoydart and Moidart, then moved eastwards and then up the Great Glen, including both sides of Loch Ness. So my wife had us searching (unsuccessfully) round Boleskine Cemetery and (successfully) in Drumtemple Cemetery. Now she's planning a trip to Donegal and the surrounding area, where some of her folk came from.

It's a skill that's been honed by nearly 40 years of taking part in (and, once, setting) this - https://pablosath.com/ https://pablosath.com/hunting/hunthistory Just doing my warm-up exercises for this year

You're laggin' somewhat Must learn not to include the gravestones of famous people in the foreground!

Was the rule passed by the clubs voting on it, or was it imposed on them? I genuinely don't know.

Agreed, but with the observation that these factors are not all independent of each other. For example, a poor chairman appoints a poor CEO, who makes bad decisions. Or a poor chairman appoints a poor manager, who.... In the end, it all comes down to the stewardship of the club by successive boards of directors, which, to use a word which is indisputable and not defamatory, has failed.

Not until a way is found for the club to continue beyond administration. And if more teams go into administration - I was told in the summer that a number of teams were on the brink - then it might not do us any good. It would give potential buyers more choice.

Well, you know what they say. Play a C&W record backwards, and your wife comes back to you, your dog comes back to life, you get your job and your car back.... and your team starts climbing the table again
