Was that the great Bo,ness Cadora team ..That brought a lot of fame to my ancestral home town Gogsy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m wrong but I think the committee enjoy an excellent relationship with the vast majority of supporters, and crowds are excellent home and away. We’re talking about Bonnyrigg Rose here not Barcelona. Within those realistic boundaries, the club marketing and engagement with the community is excellent. It could always be better, and the committee don’t rest trying to move the club forward - which is why we are here in this thread discussing the future. okay, let’s flip this key point round - as you are clearly against moving from the juniors - what is the positive case for staying with the status quo in he juniors?

When do they speak to this vast majority....like yesterday at Dundonald when they encamped against the wall at the bottom of the park..but there were only 31 Bonnyrigg supporters yesterday..excellent time to engage with the lifeblood at such a crucial time..What engagement with the community.....the only engagement I see is a few posters when you occasionaly have a fund raiser..for your selves...Your ideas of engagement...marketing the club and the way forward are obviously at odds with mine.. Regarding whether I am for or against moving is immaterial to the fact that we are poorly marketed in the true sence of the word..we cant even produce a programme for match days.even Newtongrange ..a club we regularly look down on..can do a good job on the programme front..its too much bother a t Bonnyrigg for the Officials.....Please don't come back at me with the marvellous job we did in the Wmn.Hill,s cup run.......When clubs have healthy bankbooks they forget the fundamentals of what kept them connected to their community..and Bonnyrigg lost this some years ago.......

Over the years that might get won back, like the Vase and Trophy in England. (There we go, copying them again.) Aye, we could call this new competition the Vaphy. Or the Trase.

Surprisingly Goggsy.....only about a third of them have the valid credentials..but are home and away guys..Some as you can imagine that don't qualify are not wanting to come along and experience the embarrassment of being turned away from the meeting which is understandable.

I’m pretty sure they were just getting shelter from the weather and standing behind the goal we were attacking in the second half. They were all at the end we scored the goals at in the first half and I had a good chat with several committee members yesterday and heard a lot of positive stuff. The footballing side of the club is always fair game for debate and opinions but your comments on disconnection from the community are bullshit and stink of a bitter man with an agenda. I hope we don’t have to spend half an hour on Wednesday pretending that we’re listening to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly wont.....because I am not eligible to attend..but look forward to hearing/reading about the meetings conclusions on Thursday/Friday sure the local press will be full of it.......again if you dare to have an opinion that doesn't coincide with the tight establishment cadre running the club then you must be a bitter individual and have an axe to grind. This shows how narrow minded the club has come......Good luck with your adventure..Pete77....B57..Boomtownhibby..VanMagic..Boomshakalaka..enjoyed the discourse,insults and at times your bit of bigatory to myself and others.....Sure you will find others in your brave new world to heckle and insult along the way.
