If I had the choice between Fletcher and a punt on somebody no-ones ever heard of from some English lower division team on the same kind of money then I'd probably opt for Fletcher. Of course Ketts has maybe got another proven striker already tied up for all we know.

I'd imagine so. Don't think there's any other trialists away with them.

Being revealed tomorrow at 5pm if rumours are true.

I think with a proper pre season to get his fitness levels up to par and some professional coaching he could well do. Maybe the SPL is a bit of a stretch at this stage of his career but could certainly hold down a spot in a Championship team imo.

Seen the boy play a few times last season and caught my eye every time. Good to see he's getting a chance at the big time.

We're all assuming that a random post on the Internet is accurate. Nobody knows what's been offered except the club.

Interesting post over on P&B about Groningen. Groningen, at this point in time, could be an excellent move for him or an absolute bin fire. They are rebuilding and he could play a big part in that but they are in a really dodgy place as a club too. For context, they are coming off the worst season in their history, relegated in 18th place in the eredivise (out of 18)and wining 4 games out of 34. Fan aggression has been an issue and 3 of their directors (2 board members & director of football) stepped down in murky circumstances last season linked to fraud. There are rumours they are in substantial debt as well. So lets hope any offer we accept for Kev is not installment based! More fun snippets: -Knocked out of Dutch cup by amateur side, while playing at home. -Boycotted local press after they published a story about a player's violent dog. -Approached 6 new coaches after sacking their manager, all of whom turned them down (assistant manager got the job and won 1 game out of 20) -Game against Ajax had to be called off due to fan pitch invasions (one fan attached a Groningen player) and pyro. 1

That is most certainly the case in this scenario. Part of the lending conditions was that the club had to provide evidence (receipts etc) that the funds were spent on items allowed within the agreement and failure to do so could result in a demand for the whole amount to be repaid in full and immediately which is the norm for any business loan. That is ringfencing in anyones language, even the Murrells.

The loan technically wasn't. Part of the lending criteria was that it had to be ringfenced and not to be used to cover transfer fees or players wages. There is a playing budget that covers transfer fees and wages but as with every budget it is subjective and reviewed as circumstances change throughout the season.

It was the interest free Covid recovery loan that paid for the pitch. The cost to relay the old pitch every year was close to 100k, the new one is closer to 30k so will pay for itself over 10 years or so.

No idea but I imagine criteria can perhaps change from season to season?

I'm led to believe that it is a requirement for our stadium safety certificate.

This all started over on P&B where someone took McGinns comment in his interview of there being "wolves at the door" for Van Veen literally.

O'Donnell is here for another season.

Pretty sure MJC suffers from Atiychyphobia. (That'll get you googlin)

Doesn't matter what happened in the past its irrelevant. Having watched their defence?? against Killie unless Goodwin can pull off a major miracle I can't see us not scoring against them unless we go on the park with our flip flops and sunglasses on.

That was the 2nd highlight of the entire match.

We've always had to have a whipping boy every season.

Since moving O'Donnell into the wingback position he has looked like the player he was when picked for Scotland so to describe him as horrific is just plain daft. I've never seen us play well on that pitch and silky football is just impossible so the long ball game was inevitable. You can hardly blame the midfield when the ball is continually getting fired over their heads in each direction. The only criticism I would level is that the substitutions could have been made earlier.

Might have missed it but any info anywhere as to why Ross County's penalty was overturned? Not that I care just curious.

Rumours are his arm is broken😔. Hopefully not

You should have bookmarked this.

OK if it had white shorts 😁

Would like us to go gung ho in the first 10/15mins and get an early goal but suspect we will go safety first and feel our way into the game. Fully expect County to start with a defensive formation and play White up as a lone striker and try to hit us on the break. Would like to see County stay up as its one of the better away days but not at the expense of a possible 7th place and more goals for KVV

Interesting stat from one of the many lower league organisations that are opposing the plans. Nice to see us at the top end of this league.
