When I was driving home I heard the 4 o'clock news on Radio Forth.
Ron Gordon stated that probably one and maybe two players would be sold in the summer.
I take it this wasn't mentioned at the AGM
Don't think it was as definitive as that but think they said expect summer interest again.Quote:

Ron did say he was delighted he was playing so well mind you!
He didn’t expressly say any would be sold.Quote:

Ross confirmed that plans were being made with and without certain players.
Mathie addressed mainly the 16/17 year olds and said every bid would be taken on its merits, again considering what is right for all parties.
That's the story the BBC are inevitably running with - apparently from an interview before the AGM.Quote:

I think it was a natural left sided wide player and another striker rather than a left sided striker.Quote:

Let me dream Andy :greengrinQuote:

I'll concede that Twiglet :aok: is that the butcher next to the pub up there (in Currie) - in that wee bank of shops on the main drag ? Great pies :aok:Quote:

All very positive. Looks to me like we have a solid foundation to progress and not only become the established 3rd force, but also get closer to the Rangers and Celtic.
Great time to be a Hibee :hibees
Bring back Leigh 😁Quote:

Really interesting on our last European run.
We played 3 rounds and it earned us £1.2m in prize money and additional gate money, but it cost us about £600k I think he said to put on the games and travel to the away matches.
On Europe next year it was very dependent on what competition we end up in but he estimated that reaching the group stages of the proper Europa league could be a net £4m. I think that’s what he suggested.
Knowing that we were guaranteed 3 home ties in the group stages, I’d like to see the club offer a deal of some sort on the play off tie (should we get that spot). I don’t necessarily want or need it myself but reckon it would really help with the uptake and those that are swithering may take it up.Quote:

The type of opposition we would likely face in that play-off tie, there shouldn’t be any need to incentivise fans to buy tickets - it would be the biggest European tie at Easter Road since AEK Athens. The seeded teams in this years playoff were:Quote:

Yeah, think you may be right.Quote:

No mention of replacement for Marciano?Quote:
