Especially when they see the silver bracelets and the special escort from the stadium.

If that was a playing budget then, assuming we pay 35 players, then average would be around £430 a week. Somehow I feel Daily Ranger has done what it does best and plucked a figure out of thin air.

Certainly didnt help not having Foran for last few games but I always thought we had decent cover and cant really agree with P&J.

In 2006, which is the only data I can find, our total wage bill was £2.03 million and our turnover £3.54 million. This represented a wages to turnover ratio of 57%. 2013 turnover was £3.721 million and we have cut costs since 2006 but if we assume the ratio to still be 57% then wages last year would amount to £2.12 million. Dont know how many employees the club has but I'm guessing we could be paying an average of close on £1000 a week.

Average earnings for league 1 are around £1400 a week. Championship about £4000 and Premiership about £22,500. Difficult to find details for Scotland but think its somewhere around £2000 a week.

So we haven't scored from a free kick. Is that because we dont take them well or is it because opposing teams defend them well? Turn the question around. I'd be interested to know how many other teams have scored free kicks against us.

You need to get out and work a bit more.

From what I seen of the fourteen players fielded for Hibs yesterday I would think those we released at season end would put on a better display

Haven't got a clue about those hearsays you publish but I do know this. Butcher has gone. He is no longer an ICT manager sowhatever happened, or didn't happen, prior to his departure has absolutely no bearing on our future so would it not be better to look to the future and leave the past in the past?

On 29th May 2009 I sat at TCS and witnessed Butchers team get relegated. On 25th May 2014 I sat at ER and witnessed Butchers team get relegated. I was there yesterday as a guest of a Hibs fan and watched, what was like, a team of schoolboys on their first ever coaching trip. There was no skill, no desire and certainly no fight to hold onto the two goal advantage. Indeed they were more like a group of people who knew this was their last day at work and so chose not to perform.

I'm quite sure i'm in school the day after the clach game Highland schools finish 3rd July Perth is 26th June Aberdeenshire is 7th July

Does this mean the teams are back in training just when the schools break up?

There are many figures bandied about for prices and yes there are cheap tickets to be had on the continent. Borussia Dortmund, in 2012, had a cheap ticket of just over £12 and their most expensive was over £40. My question is how many of those cheap seats do they sell in relation to the dear ones? There are many other things to consider as well. How much TV revenues do the German and Dutch teams get? I'll bet its a damn sight more than the pittance accepted in Scotland. What about the costs of policing games? The cost of referee's etc. The costs for insurance. Are they cheaper than in Scotland? I don't think there are any teams in Scotland making profit for their shareholders so all revenue is used up in the cost of the game. If we want our teams to be successful then we have to accept the cost that the clubs deem to be the best they can afford to offer. If we don't accept it then do we walk away? Or should we start hitting the broadcasters in the pocket? Trouble is the people who run our game are cowards when it comes to facing up to Sky and BT. Christ! We even paid them back money because Rangers dropped out of SPL. Would the same have happened if Killie or Inverness dropped out? No! Would such a situation arise in EPL? I think not. They would never have agreed to a deal that revolved solely around two of their teams. Scottish football messed up big time in allowing the breakaway Premier League and now the only way teams can survive is to hit the fans in the pocket.

He's earning as much in interest on his pay off as we spend in a season

Malky McKay a candidate

One thing for certain there'll still be a team beginning with H in the top league.

Hope that's not your wifes leg

I don't think we equate to any other club. We are unique. We are forever the Pride of the Highlands and no others can match us.

Chill CD!! Its silly season. That time of no football when people write a load of cr@p. Thankfully, being a World Cup year, silly season is shorter this year.

They also had more home games against Celtic and Aberdeen to boost the average.

Even more impressive that it was the Championship and not Div 1 AJS

And the third 'Saint' to win the trophy.

Plays for some Polish club I believe
