RWB have you got that on CD. If not then do it. Make song sheets, get together with the BENI and blast it out next home game. If you want to be sure there's no copyright issues give me a copy and I'll approach Dougie.

Congratulations to the happy parents :party01: :angel13:

Did something like this not happen with two SPL teams once. Celtic v Hearts in America for some one of reason. Or am I imagining it.

There's always the option to hire a sixteen seater bus with trailer. I'd love to do it but not knowing the fixtures and my work rota at that time I can't comit.

.........................has stated that there will be no drink, no WAGS around the team hotels and the team will be picked on merit and not reputation. With all that in mind and the fact that tonights game is pretty mediocre, how long will he be in the job. editted to add....................bearing in mind that since 66 the English press have picked the team.

Who's going Sat and where's the best place for that pre-match orange juice?

I would imagine Imrie will need a week or two of full time training before he's expected to play. By that I mean two sessions five days a week as opposed to one session three days with Clyde though, I believe, he does do a lot of fitness stuff on his own.

Does Dr. Duecher not have a surgery to run.

I wonder..............how many of those who think others should help out Clach would think to go along to a game when ICT are away. That would be supporting would it not. DBS, if City wanted into the HL they wouldn't need the demise of Clach to get there. Clach need more than money, they need consistency with results every week. They need to be always fighting for the top of HL every season. When they're doing well they get the fans but they've been pretty poor this season. Also I dont think you can make any comparisson between Clach and City. One plays in junior league where players get a payment, one in amatuer where they dont.

I believe laura is correct in that Phil has been signed. Seem to remember something about only needing to agree terms with the player after reaching an agreement with Dunfermline.

That was very clever of you :023:

Its going to be Rossco. Corner taken by Cowie and floated in inch perfect and of the head of Ross. Kids dont get worked up about Imrie, he may be on the bench but I doubt very much that he'll start.

under SPL regulations, will also require to provide confirmation of stadium compliance by March 31 next year for season 2008/09. If they haven't even set the founds yet how do they comply. I doubt very much whether Motherwell will be prepared to groundshare for another season considering the state their pitch is in at the minute. WHOLE ARTICLE HERE Suppose its all down to interpretation but what chance do us minions have of understanding things when the people who form the SPL committee dont seem to understand the rules. At the end of the day I honestly dont believe Gretna will survive for another season and can foresee a new set of arguements and rule changes with Accies.

Below is an extract from the Herald of 18th May last year. Para 3 says to me that there is an SPL regulation being breached. Protests against Gretna thrown out by SPL DARRYL BROADFOOT May 18 2007 Gretna will be playing in the Clydesdale Bank Premierleague next season after the Scottish Premier League rejected complaints from St Mirren and Dunfermline that the first division champions had breached rules over stadium plans. The SPL board convened yesterday morning to discuss submissions that Gretna's promotion was illegal after failing to provide a start and end date for redevelopment of Raydale Park. Brooks Mileson, the Gretna owner, had been granted permission for his club to groundshare with Motherwell at Fir Park next season and, under SPL regulations, will also require to provide confirmation of stadium compliance by March 31 next year for season 2008/09. advertisement

No need, he's got his already. He's not taking his car this year though.

Richie never went to Yoevil for any trial. That was Deano. Richie was asked if he would be interested. He thought about it and decided he wants to stay. He hadn't been played initially because he was injured for a fair part of last season, then he was suspended for a time and now he's trying to build his match fitness, unfortunately the reserves had a long break and theres only been three games he could, and did, play in.

4thstand, if you look at the number of posts the Arab has made you'll see he's quite a regular on this forum and is always welcome for his contributions and his banter, as are fans of any other team.

caley4life, the whole point is not to be intimidating. Sing, dance, bounce, whatever but be aware that you want all fans to be on your side and to support what your trying to achieve, which is a good strong ICT atmosphere. To be intimidating is to be feared. If your feared then your own fans turn against you. Many of us remember the days of violence and intimidation at football matches. We dont want a return to those days. People are returning to football and bringing their families because generally the atmosphere is full of pleasure and enjoyment. Intimidation will only serve to destroy that. Incidently, I think the BENI logo that caleyD has produced would be perfect. Not only does it express unity between the founder teams of ICT but it also can express unity among all ICT fans. Yes I know I'm an old fart but one with a lot of experience of life.

Clash managed a wheen o goals as well.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jeffries walks. His players have been sold of from under him.

Bout as tall as the man himself.

I'm certainly not saying the criteria is right and I also believe teams should be promoted/demoted on merit but, there is a criteria and every team knows what it is. The fact is Gretna made a promise that they would abide by that criteria and provide a 6000 seat stadium by the start of next season. As things stand at the moment they haven't even started the project We made the promise that we would provide a 10,000 seater and in the interim period we fought, with the support of others, to have that reduced to 6,000. and true to our word we added an extra 5,000 in record time. If, since Gretna came into the SPL, they had been campaigning to get the rules changed to help them then I would sympathise no end but they haven't done anything.

One big difference here Don........we had to fight to get into the SPl but we put our plans in place and we adhered to them. In fact we went one further and got back to our own stadium earlier than initially planned. In the process we also fought to have the 10k seating rule changed and won. When we did get in we showed competitiveness and a desire to stay. Gretna have shown none of that. They paid players big bucks to get them here then got rid of them all and are showing no desire whatsoever to stay. All teams know the criteria for being here and if they cant abide by that then sorry but I dont think they should be here.

I said this at the time and I say it again. Brookes Mileson set himself a challenge to buy a football team and take them to the SPL in five years. He achieved it and now doesn't give a ****. What really gets me is that all the promises and plans were accepted by the SPL which allowed Gretna into the club to the detriment of far more deserving teams. Was their ever real commitment to provide the stadia or was it all a con to realise the dream? If I had any clout I'd be calling for Gretna FC to be excluded from all Scottish leagues.

They did play at Palmerston
