Yeh,that was one of my concerns.Where the parachute payment would end up.Yet we're signing player's.Can only suspect with so many leaving that would free up wages to bring in replacements albeit on lesser money than previous players..Also without the Premier income im fearful the stadium could fall into disrepair,just as weve got it up to scratch.

DM has already indicated we are likely to have the 4th best budget making us competitive, if the parachute payment is included in that it can’t be very much.
The upside is that travel costs next season will be minimal with only two 65 mile journeys to Ayr and back being any significant distance.
We were said to have had the lowest budget the season we finished 2nd and won the play offs, which of course shows it'll be what Martindale does with that budget, and how he manages us throughout the season.
The signings are looking good, and from their playing positions the balance of the team also looks good. Just hope he plays them in those positions and sets us up to have a good balanced team. I'm looking at it in a positive manner and quite excited for the season ahead.
Can't be any worse than the season we've just had anyway................

Wont be getting as much wear and tear/abuse from all the arse cheek fans, every cloud has a silver lining.

Simon Murray away to Dundee, and Dhanda gone to Hearts, wonder if this will finally be the season County go down, might be straight relegation this time and not being saved by the play offs, they'll be a lot weaker now.

Re: SPFL Play Offs
Yeah, I was surprised at Murray’s move to Dundee but it appears to be a case of Dingwall being too far away from family.
Yeah County will be much weaker unless they have some decent replacements lined up.
I see Robbie McCrorie is now at Killie.

3-2 Ayr.
Ayr having a good pre season, 1-1 with Celtic (might've been their B team right enough, and 3-2 win over Killie, Killie having McCrorie in goals.
