The past players…..

….getting their shirts yesterday, I think it’s a really good idea. Hopefully there will be a few photos on the official website for those that missed it

Is half-time the best time to do this? Could it be handled better?

Most people have gone for a pie/pint/cuppa/toilet visit. I’ve heard a few of these on the PA while I’ve been on the concourse at HT. Could it be done before the game?

I was a bit disappointed as these players were the ones I watched as I was growing up and I couldn’t see them from where I was sitting. It all seemed a bit flat. I clapped but I couldn’t see them at all.

I was in the East Stand restaurant for the first time yesterday and it was packed.
I saw John Ryan and his brother, who used to take photographs, and a load of past players...Ian Nimmo, Carl Swan, Glynn Snodin, Daral Pugh, Billy Russell, Dave Bentley, David Harle, Paul Raven, Colin Douglas, Pat Lally, Steve Lister, might have been others.
Saw quite a few signing autographs and shirts etc.
There were a lot of Academy youngsters and their parents, I think, and John Buckley gave a speech but I couldn't hear much of what he said.
It was a good atmosphere in there.

Prince Moncrieffe might be easier to than perhaps the Esdailles because they might be at His Majesty’s Pleasure. Then there’s Mark Weaver’s neighbour, the tubby goal Dave Smith and didn’t Mark Weaver register himself as a player, if he did there would be a long willing to present him with his shirt

I doubt that all ex players get inducted into the hall of fame but I will ask this question.
Does anyone know what credentials the said inducted players need to be recognised in this way.
Some of the ones I have seen only played a few first team games.

I honestly hadn't got a clue as to who they were or anything that was said

It is hard to hear what is said during the interviews isn’t it.
I recognised Dave Harle and Colin Douglas as they came round the front of the south stand and I heard that Ian Nimmo was one of them too.
