2014/2015 - Club shenanigan rumours
- Thread starter Paul Sullivan
- Start date
Number of players signed up:
Belfast - 11
Braehead - 5
Cardiff - 2
Coventry - 10
Dundee - 6
Edinburgh - 5
Fife - 4
Hull - 9
Nottingham - 8
Sheffield - 8
This is certainly a cause for concern...
I know several people have been waiting on key signings before renewing their season tickets, why would they renew with only 2 players signed up?
This has all the makings of some last minute desperation signings that aren't up to standard... (unless there are ~4-5 players signed but not announced??)

It would be sensible for the club to announce a couple of signings for season tickets I would have thought, but I'm not too worried about the eventual team we put out.
Obviously it would be good to keep Richardson, but when you look at the team make up it's potentially not so bad.
With Bowns in goal that gives us 8 import forwards and 4 import d men. So potentially we're looking at Batch as 5th d man and Piggot and Jones as 9th and 10th forwards.
People were happy with those two on the third line last season and Batch is easily capable of 5th d man (in fact I'd hope he starts to make a claim for legitimate top 4 next year)
The imports we bring in certainly shouldn't be any worse than any brits that leave (perhaps Richardson aside) and would be better value for money.
Not too bad an outlook when you break it down

As much as I'm not a fan of the way things have been the last year, I can't sit here and read things that are made up :lol:
Every year they announce a signing or 2 about 10 days before the ticket prices go up- and in the past have extended the deadline and advertised that they have done it quite well.
So to say 'should we expect anything else from this management' is a little naïve, as this is an area they have excelled in previously.

Guys, can we keep this on topic please? I mean, there's a thread for signings, no need to hijack this one like all the others with talk about players and teams Keep this up and it'll vanish as fast as the thread about the Club's last accounts :lol:
Bleeding forum users, coming on here, derailing threads, wanting immigrant workers to come to our country taking our jobs. We need an election or something...

Sorry, I'm struggling to find what I've made up? I was suggesting the route the club management might be taking given their poor track record over the last year.
So to say I am "a little naive" given that the last time the offer was extended was a year ago before the fiasco of this season is quite premature. Time will tell.
If they extend the deadline, then great stuff, fans get an extra two weeks to purchase but some signings will need to be announced. If as James has suggested there are unannounced signings that have already been made, then you have nothing to worry about.
I have absolutely no intention of purchasing a season ticket, I just don't want others ripped off.

I guess it's the 'did we expect anything less of this management' that is the flawed part of your statement, as history tells us that we can expect something different...
And if they had extended the offer last year, that would have been 2 years running, and you can guarantee someone on here would complain that "they should just tell us originally it's going to be a week later like 6th june or sumthin omggg, why isn't dey honest?"
I enjoy watching the Militia on here slate every single solitary thing about our owners, but when things are posted that are unfounded, it's crazy.
And yes, it would be great to see the deadline extended with player signings announced at the same time, although it needs to be before the end of this week (today?) if it's to be of any real effect. (If the prices are hiked up at the end of may...Do the prices go up at the end of this month??)
