Not bothering with an Away Kit this season and just going with Skins.

Only place I know that's showing it is the Uefa website

We're not in the Champions League.....yet!!

So what your essentially saying is we need a good big beer tent.... Maybe not a tent....but yeah, things like extending the Sports Bar area and conferencing facilities etc would all allow the club to improve income. As would an artificial pitch that could be hired to the public. No doubt there's 101 ideas to be looked at....but the money needs to be there first, or some kind of coordinated effort put in place to raise the money for a specific project.

If we get through the 2nd round Qualifiers then our matches v Motherwell & St Johnstone will be moved to the Sunday....the knock on effect of that would be that the Partick Thistle game would need to be moved (either to the Thursday or another later date). If moved to the Thursday then the Celtic game would also need to be moved to the Sunday (which is probable regardless). If we then make it to the play-off stage then the next two games would need to be shifted as well...!!!

IMO, the Champions League has done more to damage world (not just European) football than anything else. It's almost solely responsible for the ridiculous levels of money that gets paid to players at the selected "Top Clubs", whilst the rest of the footballing world is left to feed off the scraps. There was very little merit in England acquiring the number of positions they did in the beginning and the co-efficient and allocation of places is engineered to ensure that they maintain that privilege. It's a competition that is run purely for profit...much like the English Premier League these days....and as is, and probably always will be, the case, people buy into the marketing and hype. It's a scenario that only serves to syphon an even larger portion of the money towards the chosen few who were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time when it all kicked off. It's unlikely to ever change as those with the money are the ones who call the shots and there's not a hope in hell they will ever vote to give that up....so Que Sera

It's taken the club a few years to stabilise the finances and get a workable and sustainable balance with the budgets. I'd personally prefer to see any new investment being used to improve facilities and encourage income growth which would, in turn, create additional funds to be invested in the squad.

I should hopefully be in a position to put up some info about this in the next couple of days.

It's a one year deal and the club have a further one year option. Which is not legally enforceable if the player decides he doesn't want to stay another year. I don't know exactly how these are set up or worded within the paperwork, but I believe it's possibly more accurate to say that it is a 2 year contract in which the club have an option to terminate early without penalty.

It's a one year deal and the club have a further one year option.

The lower leagues of Scotland, England and further afield should be encouraged for places to look for players however considering the depth we have in centre midfield of which contains: Tansey, Draper, Christie, Vincent, Foran, Polworth and Horner (Nick Ross Excluded), I just have my doubts as to whether the boy will be a worthwhile signing for both parties - I do look forward to being proven wrong though! I used to use the "look forward to being proven wrong" line myself....but I came to realise that it's just BS. Nobody REALLY wants to be proven wrong and the phrase only serves to say "I have no faith in my own evaluation of the situation and will just place this here as my get out clause". It's up there with those people who bet against their own team just so they can say "oh well, at least I made a couple of quid" if they lose.

Find it rather amusing that some fans moan about us not looking at lower leagues in Scotland....then moan their t1ts off the moment we sign a player from the lower leagues in Scotland

The club have been speaking to two companies who specialise in travel for these kind of things but with a large number of possible locations it's not practical to draw up options for them all. Once the draw is done on Monday and the options are narrowed to just a couple (or we may actually know for sure) then I'm sure things will quickly kick in to place. All I can say for now is that the club have asked that chartering a larger plane and selling the additional seats be looked at as one of the options.

I remember the days when we welcomed fans of other teams on here....and some great craic we had with many of them over the years. Ho Hum...!!!

Financially, Europa is a burden until you get to the group stages. ​Maybes Aye, maybes nah. Depends who we are drawn against, how far we have to travel and whether we can pack the place out for our home tie(s). Not a fortune to be made but there may be scope for a modest profit. ​http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/st-johnstone/1322800-steve-brown-wants-uefa-help-for-st-johnstone-europa-league-travelling-costs/

Now confirmed....matches v Newport will be worth watching out for.

Might be a few bits of painting need done around the place.

Still got a year on his current deal, he's just rejected a contract extension.

The point that Butcher used to make...but was never fully covered/explained by journalists (that I can recall) was not that players demanded higher wages, but that the transfer fees for younger players (development costs) priced them out of our range....which is pretty much zero in term of paying a transfer. When signing players from England (cross border), you can sign younger players without incurring that fee for development costs. Unless a Scottish club frees a young player and, in doing so, gives up their right to a development fee then they're not going to appear on our radar as a feasible signing target....on the basis that if clubs are releasing a young player, then the chances are it's because (in most cases) they don't have it to go on to a higher level. It's for the above reason that, IMO, Aberdeen only made a move for Graeme Shinnie for this coming season and not before now. Had they done so, then we would have been able to demand a sizeable transfer fee based on his development time with us.

Financially, Europa is a burden until you get to the group stages.

The WWC doesn't even get a mention on the Sky Live Scores page....so I guess BBC are one up on them.

Early Bird Reminder.....oh yeah, and sales are already outstripping previous years!!! http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1562-early-bird-reminder

Hilarious that they quote him as saying "from my Caley & County days"....he clearly thought that dream he had of playing for us was actually real!!!

So how come I missed him playing for Caley Thistle? http://www.brorarangersfc.co.uk/club/267420/News/view/889348

That's what Yogi calls him as well. Corrected him (Yogi) on it once and his solution is to have Aaron change his name.
