Couple bad results and the knickerwetters are in full force. The sensible boys on here must be embarrassed to be associated with such tossers.

You mean the same 'sensible boys' that were sticking by our team and manager at this time last year. That worked out well didn't it?

Bad result is an understatement. In the last month we've drawn with Forfar and been well beaten by Ayr, Dumbarton and Peterhead. Even our win against East Fife was an awful performance.
Perhaps if the same thing didn't happen at the same time every season folk would have a bit more patience.

Add Albion Rovers to that.

Forgive the intrusion on your thread, but it's felt giving Mr Colin McGowans involvement in our current predicament this might be of interest to some of you.

I am asking if all true Football fans could take a moment to sign this petition to help a club being dragged to the dirt by it's current owners return to better days.

Why should you sign it, basically we have a club who's fans have achieved small miracles over the last few years building up projects which benefit the whole local community, meanwhile the owners of the club seem determined to run the club into the ground whilst alienating their own clubs fans and blocking an attempt from good Airdrie minded businessmen who are trying to get the club back to better days.

 

The supporters in recent years have been involved in providing thousands of items of football kit to a Charity who sends them to underprivileged people around the world, they have provided around 2000 Free under 16s season tickets to local children, they helped fund and build the first Sensory Room in Scottish Football for children & adults with sensory processing disorders to be able to attend football matches in an environment they felt safe and secure in, they funded and built a shelter for wheelchair users to be able to enjoy matches even in the worst of Scottish weather, they run a children's football group called the Airdrie Aces where for only £10 they get free football training before every home game,transport & entry to selected away matches, numerous free parties and events throughout the season, meet and play with the players and much more. They have also been working with numerous local and national charities such as St. Andrews Hospice, Maggies Centre, Local Xmas toy appeal and foodbank, Poppy Scotland and Save the Children. They have started a Community Football programme providing Walking Football to all ages and football classes to pre-school children as well as 5-16 year olds. They have also introduced a large selection of club merchandise which the club have been unable to do so for a number of years and have generally improved the overall match day experience for fellow fans. 

 

Meanwhile over the same period the club has been mismanaged, and led into murky waters where no information has been forthcoming on the clubs financial position, who the people are who are trying to take control of it and a general feeling of contempt shown to the fans by those running it.

Please help us get the numbers as high as we can on this petition to help the right people get control of our club.

You stole Clydebank's place to stay in existence. I'll pass thanks.

Keep your money in your pockets and stay away from Airdrie Please, don't give anything to these crooks who are in charge at Airdrie

I think you're safe with that one.

Our away record/performances have been absolutely brutal for the past 2 months or so.

Unless we play well and put a few past Stranraer in a couple of weeks, I can't see many making this trip with it being on TV anyway.

In the last calendar year we've only had two league victories away from home. It's an absolutely disgraceful record.

Funnily enough our two wins were both 5-0.

Queen’s Park are quite good at stopping our records....

winter slump to continue? Or fingers to be extracted out of arses and grind out a much needed win?

I would take a draw. :lol:

Nothing to say his new contract was improved terms. Our tactics are the problem just now. That and shoehorning players into positions they shouldn't be playing in.

 

Eta if they don't like the 25% cut they should maybe play better so it's only for this season. I'd imagine it is written into their contracts that their wages will increase upon promotion.
