Yo-Yo season

That is small team mentality again - and most successful small teams have big team mentalities.

I don't think you should worry unduly, Johndo.... You know what they say.... size isn't all that important..... :023:

and most successful small teams have big team mentalities.

Depends how you define success.

For example, is success for our particular "small team", SPL survival year after year and perhaps the occasional cup run?

I can't think of any "small teams" who have won the SPL recently, or indeed the English league.

Perhaps Gretna is what you may define as a small team with a big team mentality - successful in that they reached the cup final last year, and will probably win the first division title. But that's a pretty small-scale success, due more to Mileson's millions than any big-team mentality.

Big teams succeed, small teams can only hope to survive - I'm afraid that's the way of it!

Good points about the points Hairy - but it is dependent on the team choice, tactics and mentality

And this weeks award for "Master of stating the Feckin Obvious" goes to IHE for the above statement.  :015:

A number of "small teams" next season if Dumf go down as expected and Gretna come up. 2007-2008 will be a real dogfight between ourselves, Gretna, St Mirren and Falkirk. To stay ahead of that lot will be an achievement but the club will need to spend some money in 3 quality players to achieve safety.

This thread reminded me of this

Totally agree with you Kencar . For a place the size of Sneck to get under five thousand fans at any home game is unexceptable . These "other" fans who don't come to our "smaller" games are plain and simple Glory Hunters who support the old firm . Not forgetting that Inverness is the 5th biggest city in Scotland. :swear01: :swear02: :whip01:
