Nae fitba do fishing for Talbot fans?

You read it on here. Must be true

Only wins against full strength sides count then by your reckoning

So you have 11 players capable of winning against premier League opposition fit then?

They had those symptoms on Wednesday. Why take the chance against rutherglen?

If a team with a squad of 20 or so had 7 ill and were due to play the Talbot and tried to get it called off Talbot fans would be spitting feathers demanding the game went ahead cos teams should all have brilliant squads and strength in depth like they do. Brass necks

So this season, there first in the top flight since moving and having a tenant, they might start making a few bob and think about looking at getting some covered areas. 7months that's been happening n they should be millionaires

Which they've spent ground sharing and playing lower league fitba which makes it harder to attract a gate, gain sponsorship,put on events, get local businesses on board and making money therefor keeping a team on the park and the lights on at the club become the main priority id have thought might be wrong tho. Easy to gloat when yer winning and times are good won't always be that way tho

All of those facilities achieved over decades of investment. Some of it obviously very recent. Give them a chance

So you can slate other folks facilities but they can't question yours? What you've won in the last decade isn't the issue you raised in your original post

They have decent parking, a nice bar, clean toilets, clean area serving food, disabled access, seating for supporters, decent playing surface plus it's not built on a slope.. Needs cover but I'm sure they're reminded of that on a weekly basis its hardly a joke of a place. You visited during a storm that might explain the numbers. Your lot don't have some of those things

That's my point tho. All ye see on this platform is you don't have this/that etc.n I just did it to you to prove a point. Clubs are trying their best to try n achieve facilities within the means available to them bud and shouldn't be ridiculed or demeaned for not having/struggling to get them

Gents non existent if ye were nit picking.[emoji1787]

I'm not interested in it either but someone posted that point earlier. I agree with the rest of your post tho

Well id argue that most of the wrjfa premier don't meet all of those criteria, yerselves, included

So if youre missing 1 or 2 of those do you have to charge less for seeing the same standard of game

Explain what's acceptable facilities

Absolute bollocks. Charging cash at the gate for most clubs bar a couple can keep a team on the park and the lights on but most clubs rely on fan events/sponsorship/selling merchandise/generosity of local business etc to raise funds for all the extras and not all clubs have access to sponsors/ fan base to achieve these revenues. The things you see as just standard nowadays are well beyond some clubs and could take them under trying to achieve it instantly just because others demand they get it. Some clubs aren't far away and others are miles from it. The snobbery on this issue at a level where most clubs are run by volunteers is outrageous

So if you're a club who has some of these things and are working towards/ trying to find funding for getting the rest you should let folk in for free?

I stand corrected. Meadow have been there for over a hundred years tho and continually make improvements when they have funds available. Clubs who've recently moved to new facilities and are investing in getting toilet facilities, social Clubs, covered enclosures, disabled access or whatever else is rewuired etc should be afforded patience and some time to put it in place due to the costs involved was my point tho

Man whose club has a brick wall for peeing on in 2020 chastises other clubs about basic facilities
