Trialist in today's development squad.. any ideas?

There's three.

I'm glad Kenny has been open and willing to discuss, atleast showing he still has a bond with us, even if it wasn't the answer some folk were looking for. It's a step in the right direction to helping a few fans, probably myself included, get over it if it's to stay.

For claiming to be a family and fan orientated club, they've missed a huge step in engaging with the fans prior. I can't note anything, even down to the club briefly saying "oh, by the way, we're making a small change and that's that".. was just left for people to notice and feels it was an attempt at going under the radar in a way. It just seems too much like one or two heads have grasped onto an idea they've liked or conjured, pushed it by themselves and that's the final say. No point in bashing the slogan use anymore, it's been done enough.. It's the manner in which it has been carried out and handled.

Nobody is saying the club name has changed, I think. It's merely the application of the adopted motto. Where might we have seen the latest version in the last 6 months?

I get the feeling, however much support it may have behind it, that it would fall on some particularly deaf ears.. =/

I love the cleaner version of the badge, especially for media and design use. Can't seem to shift the feeling of tackyness that the club badge includes that motto though. The motto itself, aye I'm ok with it but using it on the clubs official identity, I just can't seem to like. Almost childish. All for it on fan gear and merchandise though for folks to pick up of their choosing.

That's a stunner. Model doesn't seem to lot it well but the top. Crying out for years for this very thing.

You're in luck then, they're no longer sponsoring us.

Stoneyfield, the retail park isn't in the town centre. Just saying.

If the year extension option is true, then surely it's paramount the club try and act on it.. if they're any sort of interested in themselves as a club. Surely.

And as if by magic..

Maybe the club could be chasing up what the reasons are. If they already have, maybe they could update us fans on the situation. Even if JD don't know then maybe someone at the club could say such things.. let us know they are trying, yeah? Or, you know... just none of the above.

No friend of his at all. Plenty of us had something to say, including me. I just assumed somebody couldn't be quite that retarded.

Should I be concerned the latest deals are back to the one year deals we loathed for so long just a few seasons ago?

I think Struan might have executed his plan well, plenty of biters.

Who's Ched Evans?

Folk hated him, why wouldn't you do such a thing? I would.

I know a number of folk that disliked him purely for him moving to County and it then becomes easy to direct abuse at people. Yeah, his attitude was all over the place but he now slips into a totally different squad, different coaching team and hopefully some different minded fans if he pulls it off on the park. Certainly feels strange to have him back but I'm looking forward to it.

Sports Direct own many a brand but Puma isn't one of them, Sondico though are. They have rather very close ties with the brand and forging new relationships with bigger brands.. tell you what though, Sondico stuff doesn't seem all that shabby in terms of quality - for what you pay for it. Home kit looked awfully red last night, almost red on front, blue on the back, intrigued for the general release, I'll consider buying for the first time in a fair few years.

Not what you know it's who you know, eh :P dissapointed kits arent available until August. Regardless, two cracking kits in my mind. Shame Carbrini/JD love to plaster massive logos on the arm. (note Bournemouth's new kit)

I'm presuming the only incentive to this is money.

Small observation. Obviously still playing in last years home kits this season, I've noticed they still have the old font/number style on them. Are Errea - if we're staying with them - having to send out a new batch of home as well as our away, adding to delay? (Adding the news SPFL font style has been revealed and known news for a while now) Or further evidence that we're just waiting for new kits altogether?

Now, I know the club have been on holidays.. staff included, I presume and knowing finances and time are a primary resource to anything and everything but I'm a little disappointed that there doesn't seem to have been even an ounce of the hype the club were drumming up for the final. I understand it's natural to put a bit more effort into something that could directly reward you if it pulls off, just like the cup final but this is a completely different forray into football territory, yet equally leveled with the cup final, I feel. I may just be blind and not have noticed anything in the town center on ad boards or such but all I've seen is it coming from sources like this forum and the club website.. all very well for the regulars that visit and know fine well of the occasion. Should we make it to the next round, I for one would be happy to see what we could do to drum up attention for the home leg, getting those who were happy to come to the final, make the same effort and garner their passion for the home legs.
