Season ticket renewal

[The Reverend]

A cynic might think that the early season ticket renewal deadline was due to the owners knowing full well that they had no intention of forking out on players this summer. Knowing that this would negatively impact season ticket sales they foisted an unreasonably short deadline on us.

More than happy to have my theory proven wrong with a few blockbuster signings over the next few days but if we start this season with Charlie Kelman and a few unknown loanee kids as our main transfer activity then I’m claiming dirty tactics from those at the top.

Less than a month to go until season starts and we have a much depleted squad (in terms of depth and quality) compared to last season.

[EliotNes]

Nah.

With the squad we've got we'll be starting in a better position than in some of the 56 seasons I've supported the Os.

To be an Os supporter, is to be happy when we've reached the minimum number of points to avoid relegation.

Challenging for promotion again - wow what a concept! (with apologies to the late, great Robin Williams - "Reality, what a concept").

With only 3 or 4 weeks left to sign 6 players we had better start pulling our finger out

I think there is a a lot to be said about your theory.We were promised that signings would not be left late, it looks that is another promise broken.Blockbuster signings, I won’t hold my breath.

Not at all worried ,they'll sort it .

[Ron Waffle]

Do people really hold off on buying a season ticket on the basis of what signings may or not be made during the summer window ?
I would have thought it would have more to do with how the team have performed over the previous season(s) and seeing that in last 2 years we have been promoted and then had our highest lge finish for god knows how long then if they can afford it they would buy one.

Give it a rest, Rev.

But do we always get the best deals ? I'm not sure .

We couldn't compete for El-Miz and it looks like we can't afford to meet St Mirren's asking price for Boyd-Munce . Whoever we sign they certainly won't be blockbuster . To be fair to Nigel he didn't say they would be blockbuster but he did say we would be excited . Sorry to say that at the moment I feel underwhelmed . Like I said before , it would have been better if Nigel had stayed quiet

[Hoover Attack]

Don’t have to pay a fee to sign a blockbuster

Wages ?

The best deals don't necessarily give you the best players as we saw in January

Do you remember at school when the last to be picked were the fat kids who were useless ???

We already have George Moncur

By all accounts Moncur has lost weight and on his day he's very good .

Yes, well unfortunately Dwarfy today wasn’t one of those days. Moncur came on as a sub at HT , didn’t do much, and was hooked with 15 mins to go. I really want George to do well but I feel Galbraith is well in front of him now.

[Hoover Attack]

Moncur looked as heavy as ever today and miles off the pace, sadly. Galbraith will be our 10 this season.

Maybe not a massive one initially but the fees do rack up if you want to keep them if they turn out to be good.

They promised nothing. They wanted to do early business but they made no promises.

I do get the impression that the club know there's some big names in teh league this year and on that basis are not going for it. I believe they are doing a "Stevenage" and saving money for a push once we have a more realistic chance of doing something.
Hope I'm proved wrong but the signings are not coming thick and fast and if the rumours are true that Ling junior is coming back then that's me done

[Story of O]

There is always big teams in League 1. Maybe a few more than normal this season, but if we are waiting for there not to be any we will have a long wait

No chance of there being no big teams in the league, but with the likes of Birmingham City having a player budget of £20m, Barnsley having a weekly wage bill of nearly £80k, and teams like Bolton, Blackpool, Charlton, Peterborough, Reading who now start without points pen. Thats without your Burtons and Wrexham who will both be a force
The league is tough this year (Richie's words not mine). I wonder if they are holding back so we could possibly go out and spend next season when the league looks more competitive for us.?
