I wouldnt expect most fans to be abreast of all the information required to make a fully informed decision on whether to refurb Fir Park or rebuild elsewhere. Obviously there are emotions involved either way. Thats exactly why it is important to have the feasibility report published, together with a laymans summary of what it means for the club.

Delighted mate, should have been done a lot sooner though.

If it was possible I would demolish POD stand and build a brand new one. Not sure if it would be possible and also fully appreciate the Hunter and McLean stands need a lot of work. Cooper stand fine so it wouldn't need upgrade. No easy solutions

Its a half baked daft idea which will achieve nothing. Larger clubs would simply ignore any requirement and take the relatively modest financial hit.

Very much so. Transport links are generally improved when there’s appetite to do so by key stakeholders. Still, question was asked on how others view redeveloping our current home.

I know there was a meeting friday, didn't realise there was pushback from clubs already. That podcast is as far as i've listened and it all seemed fairly positive. I can understand the pushback from certain angles. But theres valid points made about players brought in from down south or abroad no better than our own youngsters taking up a place in the squad. I'm sure we could point to many of our own examples there. The cup game thing i'd struggle to agree with to be fair (2x U21 players to start each cup game).

I probably more than anyone banged the Stama drum but injuries just never meant he could get a run. Lone striker not suited to him. I felt him and JT were developing a partnership until....yup...you guessed it..........stama got injured. Certainly not worst striker I have seen but just didnt work out

Aye spiderpig . I hope you're pleased with yourself 🤣🤣

One of my concerns bud would be infrastructure around a new build. Would there be improved transport links, etc? Pros and cons with both options about staying or moving.

That's their goalies name so fingers crossed

Will be interesting to see if he’s able to get a run of games . His pro record has him averaging less than 14 games per season . hopefully he comes good

JBA brought him in, I'm sure he thought he would do a job, needs a run in the team to see if he's any good though, feels like he's never had that kind of run

They had a meeting about it with all the SPFL clubs on Friday and a lot of the top flight teams pushed back on it including ourselves if Open Goal is to be believed but the main issue you 'll then get in Scottish football is us and other top flight clubs will then further stump players developments for the sake of them playing maybe 5 games in our first team in the cups and the league games once Europe/Relegation is no longer a possibility rather than going out on loan and getting 30 games at senior level

Toughest position to recruit for . When it comes to successful strikers there’s probably been more bad than good or certainly a fair amount of meh . Need convincing that Thor will prove to be any better but at least we can give the guy a chance .

Didn't work out in the end, but better than our Alex Fisher/Jordan White/Jacob Blyth tier of non-scoring strikers.

We are all aware of the constraints that a revamped Fir park would present but for me i would be up for staying and keeping all the memories etc, as long as the stadium was up to a modern standard as much as it can be within its limitations. We obviously cant knock the stadium down and start again so it would be done in stages, there will be disruption but nothing that cant be overcome. However until we see any potential proposals and timescales its nigh on impossible to make any informed comment. So I hope that whatever the club decide to do the supporters will be consulted via the WS or whatever other means they choose as we all have valid inputs.

There is an episode on the bbc scottish football podcast on this topic called "Why change is needed now to maximise the potential of Scotland's footballing talent". Think its just the sportsound pre-match radio from saturday cut down. Its a decent listen if interested. Basically incentivising clubs to play academy players in the league and mandating it in the cups. Whether is comes to anything is another matter. IMO the mandating of it in the cups seems OTT, but overall the arguments put forward for the initiative make total sense.

Perfect summary of Scottish Football.

Can we compete with big English clubs who pay out fortunes to lure young players to their academies? How do we crack that one?

100% spot on that sums up his time here perfectly, he was dross.

Overall AP was one of the worst signings we have paid for in a long time Always in the wrong place , 2 yards short, never really looked interested at all in his time here and permanently injured. Think he wanted away after two months here.

Glad AP has gone, as much as I think he is a good striker and was a potentially good buy, it’s not worked out and it’s clear he wants to be back in Oz with his family. Fair enough. Good for us as it removes a decent wage but unsure what opportunities he’ll get… but not our problem.

After a break and some training time, we are going to absolutely muller them.

Stama mutualled to pursue 'opportunities elsewhere'. Just hasn't really worked out for him here.

Ap Stam away. Club just announced
