archieb Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 1 hour ago, parsforlife said: Most clubs where membership and game entry are separate membership fees are minimal. Ive seen for Stranraer it's £15 IIRC for others it's similar, the majority of the fee pollok fans pay is for the 'season ticket' aspect, and they don't get value for money IMO Fwiw I suspect most members aren't doing so on a cost benefit analysis so are maybe happy enough to give their club additional financial support, but this is also true of season ticket holders up and down the country. I wasn't disagreeing, just clarifying the situation. There was a move to introduce "proper" season tickets for this season in parallel with membership, but it was decided to defer for a year with the prospect of reconstruction coming in.

Stranraer are averaging an attendance of over 500 every game at that price, what are St Rochs attendances like when they are charging a third of that? They are also in serious financial trouble (again). I doubt St Rochs are. There must be some mistake though as according to this thread being licensed is as good as being able to print money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been ages ago as they've now got a ground that's way better than any junior ground . It's a joke - it IS in a public park. You have to walk / drive through the park to get to the turnstiles. I really like Stair Park to visit. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.9036501,-5.0131563,3a,75y,172.88h,82.35t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sr8vRXmhQJ4iSrFifhb7XpQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some mistake though as according to this thread being licensed is as good as being able to print money About 10 years ago, Stranraer were running a wage bill of about about double your normal Superleague side's. As I understand it, the financial trouble they're in is about avoiding it rather than having to get out of it. They are safe enough from the drop and therefore were able to put the entire squad up for sale to try and cut costs. I have seen it suggested that one of the issues this year was an early exit from the Scottish Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More expensive was £8.80 in Cairn Lodge Services for a sausage chips and beans...! My understanding is BSC charge £3 for a programme though? They did in some Scottish Cup ties but now down to £2 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair standing isn't just a junior thing I would imagine a lot of Airdrie fans yearn for the days when they stood at the old Broomfield.

Stranraer have only broken the 500 mark twice this season - both time against Ayr, who brought a big travelling support. Last month I paid £15 to watch Stranraer play Albion Rovers in front of 3 men and a dug. I couldn't believe the dozen or so Albion Rovers fans were segregated behind a fence and two stewards. There's no need for that shit and you don't get it in the Juniors. Stranraer have a nice modern stand, but only because of generous grants thanks to their league status, and from D&G Council. It was built in the mid 90s and they only had to chip in £150,000. Clubs like Linlithgow and Talbot built their stands without that help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 People should stop saying Juniors is a lower grade of tier than LL, EoSL or SoSL. It's not in the senior set-up, so it's not above or below. It's parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to hear that Edinburgh City allow Hearts and Hibs fans into their games for half the admission fee when their clubs are playing away from home.Yip £6.

That would be incorrect though teams like you own Linlithgow, Talbot or Pollok, could end up being as successful as the likes of Alloa, Brechin or Dumbarton if they joined the pyramid at the 6th Tier. Any Junior or Amateur league team equally stands at an unofficial tier 7 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Annan earlier on this season in some diddy cup playing a youth team. £12 for a glorified reserve game, aye right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny's Bar bus from Gorbals Cross about 45/46? years ago. Sure the kick off was 5.30pm because Stranraer didn't have floodlights. Finished 2-1 to the big team.
