I think this ignores the basic point.
We have league 1 training facilities, recovery infrastructure and training pitches since 2012.
We don't have showers or toilets at the fort.
Listen to any player from last 20 years have any said they have moved on to a club with lower facilities or investment?
Ryan , Harper, Roddy, Dan Mackay, Allardice all have commented on how much more professional and supported their new environments are.
Elgin has better facilities than we do with multiple all weather pitches,showers and toilets!
Our youth and female coaches do brilliantly to get the potential identified and brought forward. Our board have failed abysmally to support that growth from 18 to 22 with suitable environments and facilities.
Even with these difficulties I watched Adam Mackinnon , Kieth Bray, Calum Macleod, Robbie Thomson, AlfieB , and Alfie S DEMOLISH a good stennie team yesterday.
On the bench we had 6 kids and our level didn't drop when we brought them on.
Yes some of the youngsters are loans but our kids are seeing 18 to 20 year old outplay good teams with no fear and that belief and exposure will change their expectations and performance levels.
You are never happy STFU until the only kids playing all come from your street.
But I have never seen a younger or better team in our strip and we are doing it in league 1 even if you refuse to see it.
