Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Think we had a look at him (and many others) a couple of seasons back in a January window when Barry Smith was the manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspy Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Was probably when the scout Lee Ebdon was involved with the club. I think we had players up from Blythe Spartans and Newcastle town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwedge77 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I maybe one of the so called miserable burgers who follow Alloa, but now we are looking at play off It would be remiss of me not to start the debate about pricing for the games. The club should reduce prices to encourage as many fans to support them as possible, even allow season tickets stand for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced reducing the price a couple of quid for the play-offs would make any significant difference to the attendance. I'd rather they had a proper look at it over the summer and came up with a more realistic long term pricing structure. Charging £16 doesn't sit well with the idea of being a club at the heart of the community. I see Kirkpatrick went off early on today, did he take a knock?

Hopefully not a bad one, we need the likes of Jordan and Flanny fit for next month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereismillar Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 he was walking around ok , must be muscular, and not too bad i hope too. The form has dipped again a bit , hope we get it together for the playoff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KierenAAFC Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Big game next week. Never expected much today, they are faster & stronger and that comes down to PT/FT. Can see how much we miss Flanny & Kirky though. Spence can hopefully get a break next week and get back on the scoresheet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charging £16 doesn't sit well with the idea of being a club at the heart of the community. I can't disagree about the pricing. But we are we're we are and the last time in the play offs Brechin and Fofar allowed season tickets to stand we didn't and the club advised season tickets were not valid in the playoffs under SFA guidance which appears only to apply to ALLOA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereismillar Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Way back , I cant remember exactly when but attendances rose sharply and we had 1000 + at the recs for a league game against a similar side mostly made up of alloa fans/temp supporters why ? publicity ! somehow managed to generate a bit of excitement locally late Eighties i think it was , but there was free admission to schools at the time , the prices now are off putting for sure but like Waspie it would not make a difference reducing them now , support has to be reared and wont happen overnight, but the loyal regulars aught to be rewarded at some point.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is we are now viewed as customers rather than supporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oweny Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Too many folks in alloa and surrounding area obsessed with other teams on television and never actually go to a game. These folks are experts given that they listen to pundits and think that they are an authority on all football matters. It's sad but true and reducing the price will make no difference. Too many apathetic towards their own local team. I am sure others in this division have the same problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant stand this old firm following pish! was brought up to support rangers but in my early teens decided to support the local team and glad i did, much more fun and real to me ! supporting a lower league team is a hoot sometimes, and the banter is priceless , less hate and more humour, kudos to all lower league supporters , salt of the earth (most of them ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwedge77 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Second spot is now guaranteed the big question does the manager now rest key players like spence, flanny, Cawley and graham. To make sure there fit for playoffs and given fringe and youth players a run out. Or does he play the strongest team and hopefully keep the winning monument going into the playoffs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't get that support in terms of numbers every week. What a night that was though, still remember it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
