Dedicated training facilities, particularly for the winter training sessions, would certainly make sense.

The idea that we can afford to move into some bespoke stadium is pure fantasy. I doubt we could afford a St Mirren style effort even if we sold Fir Park

212 million Norwegian Krone in 1997. About £17.5 million in 1997 money and £27 million in today's money. (That's me done working out Norwegian conversion and inflation rates).

Aeslund's stadium cost 160 million Norwegian Krone to build in 2005. According my brief search on the internet, that's about £13.5 million in 2005 money and nearly £20 million in 2019 money after you take inflation into account.

Managers either get sacked for failing or poached for succeeding. If you have to choose, being poached for succeeding is preferable. Hearts would be mad not to include him in their list of targets, but they won't be short of options given the relative size of the club and their budget.

So did Accies, but I wouldn't fancy a plastic pitch and 3 sided stadium. Falkirk, on the other hand, didn't fare so well.

Livi are pretty proficient at dragging teams down to their level of scrappiness - it's how they play. Even more so when on their home plastic, which is why I was quite happy when we drew there at the start of the season.

We're a Poundland Liverpool

Quite possibly. It was certainly a great example of a forward trying to defend.

Aye, Campbell was a bit off today, but at least he kept at it rather than hiding.

Based purely on the dotted line on the BBC League table, it looks like top 3.

Wasn't it Hutchinson's daughter that suggested it to him?

Another good 3 points. Pity the Aberdeen v Killie game wasn't a draw, but keeps us in 3rd.

Campbell doesn't care. I remember Cadden joking he kept a book at home with all the names of people that took the ball off him in training.

Odds on Campbell crunching the Livi player that was in his face after scoring?

Daft tackle from Cole.

1 - 0. Bit of a howler from the Livi keeper.

Lacking a bit of tempo in the final third. It's OK to be patient in the build up but need to change gear when we get to the edge of the box.

Local derby too.

Neither choice is great - and that's the problem. Even if we sold Fir Park and managed to get council support, we'd be lucky to raise enough money to build a St Mirren Park style stadium.

I though Livi might turn it into a midfield battle, but they've played deeper than that so far.

Livi sitting in and we're working hard, but failing, to break them down. Then Livi clear long. And we try again.

Trying to dig us out the financial black hole that Boyle and the Board put us in. While I credit JB for doing the right thing by the club when it came to servicing his loans, it was his spending and mismanagement that almost put us out of business in the first place.

Anyone else lose the MFC TV stream, or is it just me? EDIT: never mind, I can see it on the Backup option.

There's not a new ground in Scotland that has a better pitch than ours, so at best, if we spent millions moving to a new stadium, we'd get something not quite as good (and who knows if it would be free from any major problems if we ended up digging up an old steelworks.
