Reacted to a similar appeal v close to forty years past - a paragraph in the @elcourier equivalent clarion call then. Teenage me had attended < 10 Hi Hi's games then; a few low ebb years to start with but largely decent since, inevitable ups n downs all part of it. Get involved.

Current club treasurer retiring next summer after 35 years in the role - keen to hear from anyone who can help source his replacement.
19 Sep 2024
OPPORTUNITY
We’re looking to bring a new first team Treasurer onboard, working closely at first with long-serving incumbent Dave Mackay before he steps down at next summer’s AGM.
It’s a vital position key to the smooth and effective running of the club.

In Ayrshire for tonight's big game - @ArdeerThistleFC looking good to stave off the threat of relegation, 3-0 up at half-time against already promoted but short-handed @TheGowjfc

SATURDAY'S MATCH!
Our 2023-24 Premier Division curtain-raiser brings a visit from @CPFC1926 against whom we'd two close contests last season - expecting nothing less this time around as we look to continue the form displayed over the second half of last season.

The biggest threat to sporting integrity in Scottish football for over a decade requires the biggest fan-led grassroots campaign in Scottish football for over a decade.

The SFA are hellbent on trashing the pyramid progress of recent times - and in beyond absurdly embarrassing fashion to boot. Too cowardly by far of course to make any public pronouncement on the matter. Respect to whoever's set this account up.

Mission to Dundee last night on Hi Hi's business - took the opportunity to visit @Ecjfc for the first time. Hosts beat Tayport, a pitifully pale shadow of their former selves, 4-0.

Sad news of the passing of one of the few East Lothian-born full Scotland internationals. Sure @elcourier are on it, no harm in a prompt though.

Sheffield United is desperately sad to report the passing of one of our greatest captains, Eddie Colquhoun.
Our love and thoughts go to Fiona, Heather and all of Eddie's loved ones at this saddest of times.

Still looking to contact two of the men who represented us at Tynecastle on 5 May 1973 - back then Brian Bain lived at Duddingston, Andy Gordon in the Dalkeith area. If you know their whereabouts please get in touch.

Missing Millfield today for @NorthShieldsFC v @BridTownAFC as part of Andy Hunter's 40th celebrations - nice set-up here. Expecting similar standard to EoS.

Lost out in the Groundhop final to Tranent; pipped by Musselburgh in the match programme final; hoping not to be three time losers 🤞 Millfield's worthy of any vote even if we say so ourselves - please feel free!
29 Mar 2023
OK so it's the final poll and the final of the best ground of the hop!
Have your say! It's @HaddAth vs @PenicuikAth

Lured to Falkirk by Haddington's Raith contingent. Learned today the Rovers introduced the use of a ball for training in 1921 - innovators. Surreal shipwrecking tales to boot.

Moffat today for a taste of @SOSFLeague football. @UpperAnnandale beat @TheBravesFC 2nd string 3-2 after leading 3-0, mostly thanks to awful defending. Visitors almost all French - hapless often but fair play for the comeback; would've been pleased for them if they'd levelled.

Now with a greatly improved image and bio, RONNIE JOHNSTON, with thanks to @HiHi1957 for putting us in touch. Ronnie's got that '72 look going on & says he couldn't have wished for a better start than with Thistle; Johnny MacKenzie was his chaperon! 👀

Eight goals (one of them incredibly dubious), bars & posts hit a right few times; good honest and entertaining @ScotAmFASouth contest at Chirnside yesterday - credit due beaten @AvendaleAFC who even down to ten men kept at it. Fine day in Berwickshire, if a shade breezy.
