A few weeks ago I suggested that we would become facing the abyss should we not get up, nothing has changed. In 1970-1 we were getting home crowds against provincial clubs 0f 8-9000. 5 years later we were declining to the 500 level so the drop won't come overnight- but it will happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this year versus last, average attendance looks down about 19%, which is mostly lower visitors, on the whole. Next year they numbers would drop again from home fans hiving away, but it it would probably take a clearly uninterested BoD, and the better part of a decade, to reach that nadir. Agree it won't be overnight, but it happened before and it can happen again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That effects the future support. Parents not taking the kids to the game and there you go a generation not motivated or caring about FFC. No stories about the 1957 team, great goals , great players , the laugh and the banter, the joy of cheering on a win with your mates. Gone lost forever ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn Necessities Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I find it difficult to believe many fans will be willing to invest in a way we were a year ago, the way we have been treated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn Necessities Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 On the face of it seems a very strange one given Kibble's "day job". Not obvious why they would divert funds to a football club but it is presumably in their favour to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no., in that order. I was hoping someone would ask the questions which have been raised on here a few times, ie: Why did we end the transfer window with a much smaller squad than we started it? Has the budget been cut? What was the problem with Tidser and why did we let him go? Why do you keep playing shite players like (insert names beginning with Dur, Sam or Tel). It was a pleasant evening and M&M spoke well, as they always do. But the folk who turned up didn't grill the management or ask them any difficult questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought job opportunities at a football club the size of St Mirren would be limited. Unless it's purely for training purposes but then wouldn't they be doing this anyway without spending the charity's cash on shares in a football club?

M&M have nothing but credit in the bank so nothing to fear for them and I would bet they would be delighted to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It strikes me as a way to host events tied in, hiring opportunities at the team and stadia, educational opportunities in management and operations, an attraction to disaffected youth, a way to offer incentives to youth being assisted through admission etc, lots of tie ins. Might just be a very smart move, and I'd expect SPFL to have their toes in with an opportuity for good publicity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 2 very good wins against 2 in form sides this week in Montrose and East Fife.Youd think that would mean wed be in a better position in the league and an easier run coming however raith and airdrie keep on winning.our last two games of the 3rd quarter are against clyde and raith away. raith have dumbarton away and us at home. we've lost against clyde this season and by all accounts they should have probably beaten raith today or drawn. my additional fear is we play clyde without McManus and I cant remember when sammon last scored (6 all season is a poor return for a team whove scored nearly 50). raith seem not to be playing that well yet grinding out results so not sure if that will catch up with them or it's their year.with raith at home against us, and us away at hoodoo clyde without McManus I'd say raith are favourites to be top going into the final round of games. if we are still within 1 point after the next 2 games that wouldn't be a disaster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus2 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 So after today we are down to a bare bones squad if not a squad unable to fill the bench. This could be a deciding moment in how the season pans out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were always going to get suspensions and injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
