If need be - and if it's that bad - I think they may delay kick off if many are still queuing to collect tickets.

Agreed. Does anyone have any update on when these guys are available to play ?? seems to be taking an age. We desparately need them to go straight into the team

Dave King is not stupid - he realises that we only have a very, very slim chance of going up this season. And quite frankly there is not an awful lot he can do about it, in reality.

Agreed mate. They are clearly not being worked hard and never have been. It shows every time they step on the pitch on a matchday. The standards that Ally and Kenny have let the footballing side of things drop to are absolutely unforgiveable. Get them in doing double training - get them fitter and get them to work on their skills. It's only since Vuckic has arrived have we had anyone who can deliver a set piece properly, for example.

And I still ask - why are our players not in doing double training sessions ? Do they not feel they need to improve their 'talents' and fitness levls ????? Hearts have done ok by doing this and clearly wanted promotion more than us and were prepared to work hard for it. Auchenhowie is wasted on this bunch !!!

Makes me feel sick even thinking about this combination of 'coaches'

Yes - they are definitely leaving in the summer. Brentford are 'planning for the future' and want to take 'another direction' with regard to managerial matters.

I think it's a stick on that Magath will come in now until the end of the season. And I don't necessarily think he'll ask for much of a wage - if any at all..................

we're looking at at least 2 two-legged play offs - possibly 3 (looking more and more likely by the week). Neither McDowall or Ally are capable of us getting through two or three play off's. I'll be stunned if we go up this season - absolutely stunned.

Neither should be anywhere near Rangers. They've done more than enough damage on the footballing side in the past few years. Clueless.

It's 'Pay at the gate' for the Club Deck on Tuesday. http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/8762-get-your-seat-at-ibrox

We've got very little chance of going up this season. We've got no chance under McDowall. So the only chance we have of getting through potentially 3 two-legged play off's is a manager/coach change ASAP. The guy in the bunnett has to go - and without a pay-off !!

looking at on-line plan, it will be nowhere near a sell out. Club Deck looks as if people will be rattling around in there as usual.

Winning 2 two-legged play off's (maybe 3) is beyond this team. That's the harsh reality bears.

I agree. Reading between the lines, King is ideally wanting to do his rebuild in the Championship next season. Short term pain, long term gain.

The standard in spl is shite, yes. BUT - it would take a complete overhaul and virtually a new team to be up as 2nd place to the tims, as King predicts in first year up. Will that happen enough in time for next year ?? I doubt it. I feel it is irrelevant anyway as I can't see us going up this season at all.

I don't exactly think that Dave King will be too distraught if we don't go up this season. We are not ready for it in any way, shape or form. He has already said that when we go up we don't want to be struggling to compete with the "Aberdeen's and the Dundee Utd's". One more season in Championship and then come in HARD into the top flight.

I think King is realistic and has factored in the fact that we will be in the Championship again next season.

He is hopeless and we stand absolutely no chance of play off success under him. It's another season in the Championship next season.

And to think the wigs wanted to pay £200k for this meeting !!!

I feel sick with a mixture of nerves and excitement. Going to be emotional bears !

No Director of Football then, thankfully.

The fourth tier journey was a bit of a novelty factor and we were all just glad to be there in the end. However, attendences (real ones) have continued to decline since (even before the boycott). Next season - even with a 'feel good' factor, home to Cowdenbeath on a wet November night 25k will be the max IMO. I agree that the dross on the pitch has not helped and even with cheap ticketprices - which is what they are already - then a price reduction may not be that beneficial. But it may help.
