Fans itching to get back and shout on the team and support them through a tough season.
At this stage quality youngters coming through to play in a team who stayed up largely by 3 players.
All have arguably lost value but also in Shanks case, he lost his place in Scotland squad. How can that attract quality players to come.
Rearing our own is fantastic but they are not all going to hit the ground running and certainly shouldnt be solely relied on to both entertain the fans and keep us safe in premier.. Is it only the likes of Charlie that are happy to come and babysit, is this putting off quality from signing for fear of covering positiins to allow the youngsters to express themselves (Was going to say put in shop window but maybe a bit harsh)
The lack of recruitment is putting us in a position to be unlucky, yes we will get behind them all on the pitch but the atmosphere in the ground will turn if results are poor. Although this will be directed towards the back of house team off the pitch, its the team on it that will suffer and that will have a negative effect.
In this instance fans being allowed back in may put further pressure on club.
Can a rookie coach and youngsters handle that?
Is it a case that any quality player being approached, will do their research and say I'll pass on joining that club at the moment thanks.
Who knows, personally I hope its a great season and atmosphere is fabulous which in theory should inspire the players, but it does have a feel of fingers crossed and a potential for a bad vibe.

I'm not being negative but I am concerned that my time, investment and passion are being taken for granted by those running the club.
it's time for them to give back and keep the tangerine army in good spirits

Good post and touches on all concerns raised recently, however, the last bit ‘time for them to give back’, d’ya not think MO has given a lot already since his arrival? bought the club, not so insignificant loss of around £2m in his first year, nearly £3m loss last year, how much more could there be to give? I’m not in the least surprised they are looking to get some money in.
