.... And by playing McNamara's team. Eight JMc signings in the starting 11 on Saturday, plus three JMc regulars. No-one signed by Mixu. The highlights make us look crap but lucky. Anier, in particular, looked the very definition of crap but lucky. I worry that "crap but lucky" is rarely enough in a relegation battle -- though it can occasionally deliver a cup win, as Golac proved. |

I hope the club is paying Ross County for the damage some nutcases did to the seats. |

brilliant insertion there- just wondering what a plastic moulded seat replacement would cost out of that £25k or so they'd have got out of the gate receipts from United fans |

£100 a chair my @rse. I worked on the grandstand assemblies at the British Open Golf at St.Andrews last year, and the seats dinna cost a fraction of that. You can get a folding chair in Wickes for 8 quid, the frame of which are easily fixed into concrete. If Dross County are so phuckin miserable, we can bring our own. Nip into the Tesco Dingwall. They sell portable chairs for 3 quid. |

Factor in Labour costs and getting chairs to match what's already there and £100 sounds cheap. |

I could fit 4 of these seats per hour. 70 seats is 17.5 hours @ £19.40 per hour = £339.50. Even adding Vat (which they can claim back because it's classed as Building work) is only £407.40. Seats price from our supplier would be between £10-50 quid per seat depending on the number ordered. If you order a minimum of 10, you pay £50 each. If you order 100, youll be about 40 quid each. Order a 1000 or more and you'd be a tenner each. |

I did see mentioned elsewhere that there may have already been broken seats. 70 sounds like a riot happened. |

Maybe they were just really cheap seats. Maybe if they'd installed good quality £150 pound seats, they'd withstand a bit of jumping and celebration. But I'm sure all clubs have incidents like this from time to time. Hopefully it doesn't become a regular occurrence. |

As I was leaving I clearly saw one buy standing on the back of a seat trying to break it. That's not accidental damage, cheap seats or over exuberance. That's a c*nt. |
