fatcalf Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 We're back on Saturday, bet you're all delighted with that news. Riding on the crest of our feelgood factor we're hopefully going to start the season with a positive performance on the streets before the game. Not so long ago there was much muttering about the state of the squad post McGhee, especially when it took so long to appoint Jim Gannon meaning we were hopelessly unprepared for the first Europa Cup match. One blinder of a boozy away trip later and everything looked a bit better. Amazing what a drink can do to recover your senses.Our pre-season campaign (for that was effectively what it was) turned out to be one of the most exciting in living memory, just think we could have been doing that every summer in the Intertoto if we had opted for it. Far better than watching Stranraer or Stenhousemuir or even a tippy tappy Southampton I think you'll agree. Now the real stuff begins and we have different challenges ahead. Can the fans live up to their support of the new boss in the early part of his reign? Everyone has created a good first impression thus far, fans, new players, remaining players, boss, even John Boyle himself for that matter. He's come up trumps again on the evidence to date and I think the content in this issue, and hopefully beyond, will reflect that. We have a new start here, everyone pulling together can make this season a truly memorable one. I hope we can build on that and avoid the them and us scenario which has annoyed the life out of me for years now. We're too small a club and community to harbour such attitudes, we need to stick together for it to work. Until now it seems Jim Gannon has had a galvanising effect on the fans, behind the scenes who knows what goes on but it's clear he makes the decisions and if those decisions get results for this club then no-one can call his policies into question. As always we live in hope. For now though the guys will be selling OSB outside the ground from 2pm on Saturday, prices have been pegged again at £1, cheap at half the price and plenty reading for your money. Enjoy! Up The Well Mj On a side note, anyone able to spare an hour to help sell on Saturday? Would be greatly obliged. Need to be 'up by' for 2pm. PM me if ye fancy it.

Enjoy! Never understood that phrase; if it was cheap at half the price does that make it expensive at that price. It makes more sense to be "cheap at double the price".

fatcalf Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Pffft, how long you been reading OSB? And you still don't get it? Move that tongue along a bit to the side Edit ; Offeeshal phrase I believe is 'cheap at twice the price' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
