nelsonRFC82 305 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Highland League team, but do have a bit of money behind them. They were recently paying Derek Soutar (ex Dundee keeper) £600 a week! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviemck73 1 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Got a mate who knows a few people at Highland League clubs and some of them are spending relatively big money (including Formatine). Brora apparently pay a pretty decent wage (backed by some rich local businessman) and that's why they have Ross Tokely, Gavin Morrison, Ritchie Hart, etc. but Formatine and Nairn also pay guys relatively big money. Dangerous strategy to pay big (ish) money when you're playing in front of 100 fans each week but hey-ho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris182 6,369 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 They are a team from a tiny town in Aberdeenshire. Their ground is tiny Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan 23 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Good side. Have a budget of about 250k per season and just signed Joe Hamill. Plus they signed striker Cammy Keith for about 25k. As someone else has pointed out the big sides in the highland league have fairly big budgets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
northern bear 2,903 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The guy who owns them is worth a fortune. Apparently they give players big cash in hand signing on fees. Steve Patterson is the manager. Saw them training indoor a few years ago and he looked rough as. Bobby Mann was playing for them and was about the same size as a house.
