Ryan Christie
Ryan signed a contract til summer of 2016 plus an extra year option. Good news and good work. I bet his parents were a nightmare to deal with!

But we don't own the stadium or the stands so is possibly not our naming rights to sell?

Scotland Under 19's
Very surprised Ryan Christie has not made the squad for the Euro Elite Group in England in May. Having seen the squad Ryan should have been in after he was at the last two training squads and by all accounts did very well.

I think he may have being taking the Michael out of another poster by the name of D****l.

Pre-season friendlies
I think you will have to ask the powers that be at Nairn County. We are not they're favourite club unfortunately.

Average attendance
If we had our 4th game against Celtic at home on the last day we may have been near to the 6500 mark. That would have helped both average and away fans average.

Realistic expectations for next season?
I'll be disappointed if we don't win the World Cup in the summer.

Memorable moments 13/14
Semi-final and the two Dungwall wins are the very high points, but in a strange way Stranraer away in the cup the week after the semi-final stands out as it was a good old fashioned football day out, in the town and at the ground.

Sorry but do you not remember his last game as our manager? I don't know what you think I mean but if they do stay up and he turns them round, like he did us, he could be back to haunt us.

Not going to do the quote thing as it's getting long. Just for the record I have no problem with John Hughes and have met him many times before and since he came to the club and find him a charming and approachable person. I, and I am not alone in this, have worries about where he is taking the team.

Some people would rather see the team do poorly to prove their opinions right than risk ever having to accept they were wrong...on that basis, withdrawing support (financial and otherwise) only helps protect their own position....and when the club continues to thrive regardless, they can just disappear from the forums for a while and hope it's forgotten.When the boycott of season tickets was on two years ago (all about another club) I bought an extra ST and sponsored another player while other people withdrew financial support. My support of this team and club is as strong as ever and all my points are made with forethought. CaleyD you seem to post on the forum now only to shoot down other posters or posts against company line. There was no boycott two years ago....was all just a lot of noise, mostly from people who weren't season ticket holders or regular attendees.If there was no boycott why was the "Early Bird" scheme extended after the SPL vote so in the chairmanship words " It was only fair to ST holders who had shown concern about the clubs stance on the Rangers issue." Or was this just a figment of my imagination? I would say that was the Chairman handling a situation perfectly....it meant that nobody who had made threat had any additional excuse for following through. Threatening to boycott and following through on such actions are two entirely different things. As I said...there was no boycott. Without getting into a petty argument, if everyone had renewed why extend the scheme? If people did not renew until after the vote and then did,was that not a boycott or a protest.

The only person I see with over expectations is John Hughes and his "Barcelona" and " Educate " comments. All I expect is honest players being played to their strengths. I don't expect too much and the "Club of our size" is a false argument. We are similar to 50 per cent of all Premiership clubs and all I expect is honesty and commitment. I have posted about Yogi's comments just after he took over and other subsequent interviews. So just to reiterate all I expect is honesty and effort.As I said its your choice. I personally do not see lack of commitment, honesty or effort from the players? Can you give examples? Who mentioned players? Can you not just clarify what you mean then? I have huge reservations about statements made by our manager about not changing what isn't broken, good game plans and educating players. No-one has clarified the position of the under 20 players released, Evans, Cooper and a few others although rumours say they have been released. This is what I mean by honesty. I will plead the 5th about commitment but I have my reasons for saying this also. I have no problems with the honesty or commitment of a single member of our playing staff and apologise if that is how it came across.

Adversity? We are finishing in the top six. And don't shout. Try reading the post. When people were withholding money I gave extra.

Should Hughes be SACKED?
Speechless?

My wife and I have been ST holders for years and we also fully sponsor a player but conversations at this time are not positive about spending our money on something we have no faith in. Even in the very dark days of Brewsters reign I always had hope and even when relegated I had hope, but now....................

Let's not gloat too much. We have hardly set the heather alight since he left and they are not down YET! He could still come back to haunt us.
