  1. An update was sent to the Lowland League on the 14th February 2024 I am not sure if they published it. Still confident of getting the target number of games in the league
  2. Looking for help regarding missing match attendances I have the Uni of Stirling v East Stirlingshire from Twitter Thanks in advance
  3. Any help for the missing match attendances would be
  4. If I was Glenrothes I would appeal the decision. If I was the player I would also appeal, if the player has the skill to do the job then is ageism not grounds for appeal
  5. Not bitter at all, just hope the club are the ones making the money from their success
  6. Morning, 1st on the football team disappointed for them, some good people on and off the field, judging by the reports they did themselves proud as expected. Money: any amount of money paid by the club to the facility is too much. I am sure we will get the full amount in the clubs accounts. I would point out in the last 2 years alone using the clubs own attendance figures the football team bring in between 5-7,000 people per year. The club work extremely hard to promote their games and are really only using the facility 10 hours a week. I don't think that the primary sports team (yeah better than the rugby) should be charged for using the facility and in fact should be getting a cut of the weekend takings. However, if you are telling me the facility paid for the new flood lights, new fences, new signs etc and getting a cut of the bar then fair enough. If its the club doing all the donkey work applying for grants and fund raising, volunteering etc then they really shouldn't be paying the facility anything. It would be interesting to see the original agreement on what the football club were offered when they left the old ground, but I doubt the facility manager will post that on the 'sports centres' Facebook page. Regarding the pitch, yeah harsh calling it substandard but I did say in my view. In fact maybe a bit of praise required for the miracle of getting yesterdays game on despite the pitch not being playable the week before and the overnight temperatures being 5c lower on Friday night. Sadly I didn't make it down, the bus takes ages and car parking is difficult on busy match days, with last week's game at the ground being called off I wasn't sure this would be on. To be clear, this wasn't a dig at the football club. I said it when I was there and I will say it again, they should be looking to go their own way and benefit from the success they have had over the years. They are in danger of being left behind. I understand the facility didn't take too well to the last post which was based on my last visit where the staff were over worked despite the game being scheduled well in advance. I would question the aims of this sports centre. If it is to indeed get Dunbar fit, maybe alcohol and Sunday roasts are counter productive. If its a pub you want to run then hand the clubs the pitches let them build their own ground. Incidentally instead of trolling through pie and bovril which works perfectly fine, maybe show off your Internet skills by sorting the facility website which has been down for a very long time. Maybe people are trying to book into the centre and bring other money in Kind Regards Ryan
  7. It is a great day for everyone who has been or is at the club. I just wish the club weren't tied to a facility that really doesn't know what its purpose is. It says sports centre on the door, yet... - Charges astronomical amounts of money for the clubs to use it - provides in my view substandard surface to play on - any improvements the club make only increase the value for the facility paid for by the club. - those running the facility seem more bothered about selling alcohol, lottery tickets, food than giving anything back to the users. - they can't even do the basics of that right, with massive queues and plastic cups with the minimum of staff. He can claim poverty but the football club alone has brought in hundreds of thousands of pounds to the place, a closer look at what that money is used for should be taken up. The football club itself should ask with all the big home games they have been drawn over the years how much money other than gate have they made? Anyway, good luck to the football club hope they do themselves proud.
  8. Anyone able to help fill in the Scottish Cup missing attendances would be great.
  9. St Andrews United v Oakley was 140 Blackburn United finding it increasingly difficult to collect info. Anyone able to help them would be of benefit
  10. Morning all, I am very rarely on here but see there are a few things to update on. The attendances are still being collected but due to matters beyond my control I am only able to publish these monthly. These will be sent to the relevant league (ie lowland or EOS or Scottish Cup) it is up to them if they publish it or not. I am glad the Lowland league have forgiven my £ow£and £eague twitter post which was silly but at the time a big issue and will publish once sent. As most of you know the target for each season is 100% i think that is fair and defeats the purpose if set any lower. Some clubs publish on social media and I instantly know to wait or look to collect that, some send to me direct, others wait till I ask, and some don't send at all and I have to ask the opposition team or attend myself to count. That is up to the clubs. I personally don't think it should be a secret but equally having worked at a club where 1 man and his wife ran pretty much everything I can all see that counting supporters isn't high on the priority list. Currently missing 30% attendances from this season and 1 match from last All i can say is I am spending every minute of the day that I am not working and looking after my kids on keeping this going. Kind Regards Ryan
