For the cup game vs Brechin, Does anyone know if you still have to get a ticket for the game if your a season ticket holder ?

I am assuming that they will take a voucher out of your book for this one although I have not checked my book for vouchers yet!

Whether he stays or goes, Raves will always be welcome up here - will never forget seeing him score the winning goal at Hampden against Celtic!

 but if Robbo can bring in younger talent on his wage, then, maybe worth saying 'adios'

I totally agree with you on the parts above, the problem the club has is the lack of money and the league we are in now. Robbo is now trying to rebuild a team and has to offload as many of the biggest earners to do that. Failing that the club will struggle to exist!

They are just doing it to wind up Caleyboy  

From P&J today Robbo quotes OFW has been told he is free to find a new club and if a couple of guys who we are hoping to move on do so that opens up the potential of bringing in two or three more. More or less what someone said in a post last night that I can't see this morning!

I had a look and it was a 2 year deal he'd signed so expires next summer.

Think there is a hint on the clubs twitter

Is Brad Mckay extending his contract beyond this season?

Well we're not really spending any money. We've released half our squad, many high earners, so even if we replace every one of them it's unlikely we'll be spending anywhere close as much on individual wages. Meaning that whilst we might have similar numbers  (likely less) we'll likely have a far smaller wage bill.

There are 2 highest earners away Boden & Meekings 5 still there and Draper is not one of them allegedly!

There is no need for any general manager to have had any previous connection with the club. Indeed, if we can find a suitable candidate, there is a great deal of merit in bringing in someone with a more objective perspective and fresh ideas.

Like Mike Smith?

He is the one being lined up for the job!

That's certainly the hope anyway.

Back of the P & J has Robbo allegedly rebuffing another Staggies offer for Draper and basically telling them to make the club an offer it can't refuse for the guy. I say allegedly as I've only seen the headline and can't read the actual story so there may not be any quotes to support the headline.

Rejected 80k

Is he only temporary till a new Chairman is appointed?

Agree with comments that it's good news we have allegedly knocked back £50k for Draper - that,at least, shows a bit of ambition. Draper's a big asset and must be tempting for the club to cash in on him..glad they haven't (yet, anyway...).

Only thing worse than seeing Drapes in a Dons top would be seeing him playing for the mob over the bridge..

You are right there monty lets all hope that Draper stays he is the backbone of our team.

Was he a Hughes or a Foran signing?

It was a parting shot from Hughes the deal was done before Foran took over.

Incidentally, with Boden and likely OWF off the wage bill, I don't think I'd be alone in loving to see Josh Meekings back. Especially with us looking for defensive reinforcements. If we had a back line of Raven, Meekings, Warren, Tremarco come October it would be like a throwback to when we were good...

Meekings hardly played the last 2 seasons and turned down an offer which would have been much less than the huge wage he was on so he will not be coming back.

Thank you to the 2,200 supporters who have renewed or purchased Season Tickets so far. Your support is greatly appreciated. #COYB

There will be little chance of us getting a message like that as we never know how many are sold

That's the problem, there should be lots going on. Maybe there is behind the scenes but nothing so far to enthuse fans.

I am going to be optimistic and assume the club is waiting until after July 1st when contracts expire and stop worrying. 

The fact that robbo has better use of his money than lang  and mcnaughton is also what gives me hope. 

Optimistically 

Calum

Robbo is going to bring in 3 more  should be next week

Sorry but do not agree, he is as much to blame as anyone for the absolute shambles the club is in at the moment, maybe more as he was in the chair when Foran was awarded an unprecedented 4 year deal. He also sat back and did nothing as we imploded, during a complete car crash of a season culminating in where we are today, stalking the bottom of the Highland League for players, hoping they will choose us over Arbroath. 

 

 

I have given you a green dot as you are very near the truth in what you say 

It will get better just be patient

Might be coincidence but Drapers wife's beauty salon on Telford Street has a "To Let" sign on it 

What are you doing at the beauty salon?  Rumour is he is heading along the A96, I hope not but if he is I hope they offer a fair price for him!

You are probably right Kingsmills but it depends on how much of the UEFA fee Cameron gave him to sign on again. However, I class £1500 plus per week as HUGE for a club of our size and the crowds we attract.

Spot on caleyboy

I'd suggest we'll let him go for free in order to get his huge salary off the wage bill. 

I think that might happen will just wait and see
