1. Talk 107
Having been right behind out SFL bid Talk 107 want to do a weekly Spartans 5 minute slot on their Friday programme around 7pm - it starts this Friday and we’ll have a rota with a mix of committee, coaches, players and supporters (Mena and Womens) previewing the game on the next day and also talking about what else is happening across the club.
2. The Academy Community Football Development Officer Role (funded by Children in Need)
Douglas received over 25 applications for the role and we’ve selected eight for first interview. All but one was last week, with the one remaining interview this week. The final stages will be run during August and we will make the appointment ready for a start in early October. We are just finalising the funding with the SWFA for a second role. When the Academy opens we will have then have two full time roles in place in addition to Douglas’ management role so we will be ready to make a big impact in the Community.
3. Thank you to Cameron for spotting that Hibs are at home the same day as us for only one of our home league games across the whole season - we are therefore hoping to entice as many Hibs fans down City Park and then Ainslie Park. Hopefully we will e able to entice some of the non travelling Hibs fans to enjoy a season watching Spartans at home - season tickets details will be on the web site tomorrow night.
4. Training for the 3s and 19s at Peffermill on Tuesday and for all teams on Thursday.
