Gretna tournament this weekend

[Ftivano1]

A stroll in the park for Queens against the village people but South Shields who beat Ayr United in the other game
should be a far harder test tomorrow - their new chairman Geoff Thomson has already invested one million pounds
in his home town club with more to come including a 3G pitch and the building of 3 new stands. He has even
attracted players such as ex - Sunderland / Boro's Argentinian star Julio Arca to sign up so the wages must be
pretty good.

I understand from the Connelly era that we might have dabbled wi' players frae that League. However we are a Championship club noo and must respect oor ain ambitions. Please understand that our current level is higher than we used to be under Harkness.

[QUOTE=middleagedirtbag;38192341]" What the hell will we have got from this? I believe no trialists either? These sort of games might help with match fitness but certainly not anything else. Dalbeattie Star, Carlisle Reserves, Gretna Green, South Shields and Penrith will ensure that this team will NOT be up and running for Championship level football. We are short in positions all over the pitch and by not having possible new signings trying to impress in games like this really worries me. It's no wonder that season ticket sales are at their worst level in many years. I'm not looking forward at all to this season if things stay the way there are. "

Don't bother coming then.Save yourself the pain![/QUOTE Hi truthhurts. I see your ugly head has.been reared again. Do us a favour and disappear again forever]

Good to hear an optimistic view prior to the season even starting. Support like this certainly poisons the atmosphere at the home games and I for one would rather they went elsewhere.

You have obviously taken advantage of loop hole in the New Message Board format to sneak back and I hope you are willing to make a positive contribution. However if you choose to take the dark side you will be removed from the board. What is your source that season ticket levels are the worst for years ?

[MUSKY]

Line up v South Shields today -

Thomson, Brannan, Evans, Jacobs, Brownlie, Hooper, Trialist, Millar, Smith, Dykes, Moxon

TH does have a point. Playing a better level of competition would highlight potential weak areas.
Annan game should be a good test though. IMO the cup game last season, although we won showed the first warning signs of the season ahead.

i dont like how skelton said that we wont be giving scot brown a contract for the sake of pikard a moxon yes moxon has looked good but im not a fan of pikard and surely we should be getting players who can play at this level this season not in acouple of seasons
