Seekfedup Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 We counted 32 Glenafton Committee cards at the last match I find that hard to believe however, if that's the case raise it with the club rather that making an unsubstantiated claim on here.#tadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I was on the Lok committee for about 7 years. On a matchday, committee would have the following jobs: Pitch: Groundstaff down first thing. Not all committee AFAIK but at least 4 are. (4) Gates: club secretary on members gate, 3 additional 'back-benchers' on a rota to do the concessions and 2 adult gates. (4) Tannoy: Someone had to do it (occasionally me!) (1) Team lines 1: Someone would have the job of tracking down both line-ups pre game and writing them up for the notice board (1) Team lines 2: Match secretary to do the official team sheet for referee etc (1) Teas: At least one committee member doing the teas / coffees etc pre-during and psot game (2) Pie Hut: It was a committee role, not sure this is still the case (1) Club shop: Has been and hasn't been a committee role - presently is (1) Programme sellers: Two selling (2) Half-time draw: One seller (1) Hospitality: Two manning the upstairs bar (2) with club officials also circulating. Player protection: 2 would need to close the internal gates to secure access to / from pitch ((2)) Accounting: Treasurer on hand to collect the money and deal with away teams if required (1) Tidying up: a lot of shite gets left behind - various volunteers would help, including a handful of committee (5+) Kit: Kitman was on committee but not sure this is still the case Very few people on Lok committee would have an afternoon off for a home game, always something to be done for most. In terms of away games, the ones looking for free entry would usually be the ones on the team bus (which in my day was around a dozen). I don't know how you pick who does and does not get the free tickets when the committee is big and there are few (if any) passengers. Certainly at Newlandsfield, away committee come in the front door and aren't refused entry without a ticket. Only once were the Lok committee segregrated into 1st/2nd class citizens and that was at Montrose when the Top Table and a selected few got invited into the boardroom. The rest were shoved into a broom cupboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not what your are saying about committee at away games but would certainly help clubs if their own committees done the same You have to pay over £100 a year to be on Lok committee (might be £120).

guinness Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 You have to pay over £100 a year to be on Lok committee (might be £120). You've got to mind some people are living week to week. Whether committee or not they can't afford to pay £100 upfront for a season ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONeils40yarder Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'd imagine that some Clubs will kick the hole out of it, with 'x' amount of committee men turning up at away games expecting free entry, however on the whole, there is no way that guys who give up their free time to keep clubs operational should be charged entry to watch the team that they spend hours and in some instances £s on a weekly basis. The SJFA should have a set of rules on the process written up surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the don revie Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I totally agree with Grifti on this, I've said at our committee meetings that we should all pay in, what's £6 to watch your team, but £60 extra at the gate is welcome revenue to all clubs.I would also do away with the halftime cuppa, would also help the home club coffers at the pie hut. Would keep the post match hospitality though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnie_man Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 £100 is a bit steep, does that include season ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffiti on the wall Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Asking folk to buy a place on the committee is certainly not the way I would run my football club For me it's the best qualified person for whatever role regardless of your financial situation and if you can afford to buy yourself onto the committee then you can afford to pay at the gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepiyo Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 A club can’t be greater than the sum of its parts, if there’s tough times and your taking away perhaps the only perk for volunteers, would it not risk costing more work with fewer hands? Not saying many folk would walk over £60 but would it not be another reminder that a match ball is worth more than your hours of contributions?

To be on the committee you need to be a member, a membership is £100 paid in full at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
