craigkillie Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 1 minute ago, Jilted John said: But yet you were happy to play a full season last year with nobody in the ground? The issue of postponing is a lottery. Who’s to say things will have died down after a break? Will you then end up having to play a congested run of games still with no fans? No one knows. There’s no right answer. Last season the option was "play in front of nobody or don't play". This season the option potentially might be "play in front of 500 now or play in front of a much bigger crowd in a month's time". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you be sure everything will be back to normal in a month? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we postpone games now, and in a month we still can’t have proper crowds we’ve lost f**k all. If in a month we can play games we’ve lost significant revenue and achieved nothing but piss off fans. Why we’ve chosen the later option I’ve no idea. Edited December 27, 2021 by parsforlife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not entirely true though, you’ve got your season ticket holders cash in the bank already. You’re just losing out on the pay at the gate fans. A fair number of those will buy the stream. You’re also not having to pay for stewarding, catering etc etc. I think the biggest loss will be lack of atmosphere. All that said, I can see where you’re coming from though. I’m not completely against your point of view, I just think we would give ourselves a far bigger headache having to shoehorn a load more games into a smaller window. Especially for big guns like us who are still in two cup competitions as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Williamson has been honking for us all season, got himself sent off against Dundee Utd and hasn't been seen since. Could potentially do better in a more attacking role but is woefully inexperienced and was found out big time at Premiership level. In other news we're trying to shift Panayiotou out on loan for 6 months if you fancy him Edited December 27, 2021 by ATLIS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play game on 2nd when Dunfermline are in a rabble rather than a possible improved Dunfermline team after the January transfer window.

Raith Against The Machine Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I'd take Panayiotou back in a heartbeat. Patter and narrative > technique and ability. Every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially for big guns like us who are still in two cup competitions as well Clubs are legally due season ticket holder’s refunds for matches they can’t provide. Any board thinking they can just pocket their cash and assume their loyal fans won’t ask for refunds are behaving like complete wankers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Stanton and Williamson in covers centre midfield. I think we still need a wide player and a striker, but preferably we send Poplatnik back and get two strikers.

CALDERON Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 If signing Goodwillie was a good idea, someone would have taken a punt on him based on his form over the last few years. The fact nobody has says it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
