Pauline also confirmed that the Trust will not have a stand at the game on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kirkintilloch move might have encountered problems and yes, we should be kept updated but you get the feeling that some posters on here are willing it all to go tits up. As for going to Tenerife. Is it really happening? If it is, then is there really a problem? If we come back and lose every game and get relegated, then yes it doesn't look good. However, what if it goes the other way?

I wonder if she will therefore exempt herself from any part of the negotiation on lease etc as surely otherwise there is a conflict of interest?

What will it be 25 flights. Plus accommodation plus transport plus presumably some kind of training facility 3 or 4 nights? Its quite a chunk of change but as you say if it helps keeping us up it will be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the Club be going to Tenerife at the end of March in the Middle of a Relegation Battle ? Well Gerry Britton, Jacqui Lowe, Gary Caldwell, Brian Kerr, Stuart Bannigan, Gary Harkins and of course Kris Doolan were all at Doolans Hall of Fame on saturday night, so not too sure which members of the club were in Tenerife on saturday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training ground at Kirkie not moving forward (yet?) due to coming in over budget. As I hear it the proposed site has the potential but there are problems which require additional funding to remediate. Think it might be down to ground contamination issues. Also heard that there was possibly access problems. No chance it will be complete for this June, either at Kirkie or elsewhere, and probably not next June either! Club should make a statement giving an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So big announcement we have purchased a site - public consultation - cast iron gaurantee its going ahead at the AGM - told to trust the Chairman on negotiations then after all that -they discover there are site and budget issues - and funny enough plenty of people were stating on the Forums in January its not happening im not fussed about the training ground - I dont think we can afford the upkeep - I am however fussed about the constant PR Spin that surrounds it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really - it was just pretty obvious that it was unlikely to happen and I stated this - I also asked questions at the AGM and the responses left big gaps So training ground is just systematic to where we are going as a Club on multi levels in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good job we have a well run club who can afford a modest expense like this. I hope they come back after a nice break and keep on playing well, gaining enough points to keep us safe in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as we, the fans, are led to believe, the training ground is still happening. I know there are rumours but until the club tell us something then that's all they are, rumours.

Firhillista Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Personally, I felt the announcement about the training ground was the most positive news out of the club in years - a significant step forward in ensuring we could compete at the highest level in Scottish football. That we should announce it with such fanfare, name it after Davie McParland, with the added impact of him passing away shortly after that announcement, and now, apparently, decide not to go ahead, is an embarrassing mismanagement on a serious scale. Time will tell if this is the shambles that it currently appears, but, at the very least, our Chair, who has made so much about being open with the fans, needs to speak up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that’s the hope though seemed to fail badly in January 2018 - hope it works this time. im guessing the club had not figured in the budget the cash from the replay cup game at Tynecastle and that’s possibly what they are using now?
