The "practice" part could allow the remaining five plenty of track-time as PK and Nick are "practising" at Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that the date was announced as Press and Practice.Obviously the whole Team would not be available on that date.!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The footy club's dismal performances since they dropped down the pyramid certainly give the impression of iffy administration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its somewhat rich of you to criticise the footballs ‘dismal performances’ when you’ve been involved in season after season of abject failure with Berwick Bandits.

Maybe good news the council owns it, as if as the poster says the football club may go pop . But the said person does talk a lot of hot air at times 😜 Edited 19 hours ago by Neila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
