Sarcastic Bairn Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Great signing, quoted here that he would rather play in a higher league than be paid more in the 1st division, seems to have the best outlook to push himself on. Now just a new striker, goalkeeper and board please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also like another defender or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Good signing will probably mean ST sales will be on sale soon. The reality though is we should not be in a position having to “bribe” fans to buy. We should be delighted to be buying no matter what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatapyBairn. Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) On the season ticket issue (although it seems to have went under the radar a bit) the season we were relegated we had just over 2800 season tickets sold, that number last season was just under 2000 (likely to loose another 500 or so this comming season) despite a 20% reduction in price during the same period numbers have continued to drop. One of the few things we have been able to take some form of pride in recently has been our continued healthy fan base which in turn has let us remain as a full time club despite playing in the third tier, however I fear next season we may be no better supported than an Airdrie type club which is worrying, when supporters drift away it’s hard to get them back. The club should actively be pursuing former season ticket holders for feed back as to why they haven’t renewed in the aim of bringing them back as paying customers. If we end up playing to a fan base of circa 1000 with the revenue streams that entails getting back to the premier league becomes near impossible, funding full time football even comes into doubt.

Does beg the question of if the three year contract has any sort or release clause based upon lack of promotion over the next year or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple. The club have been taking the fans for mugs over the last few seasons. Absolutely nothing in return for being loyal supporters and taking us for granted. 2 seasons ago, they asked us to forego refunds. We did that in spades. Last season they asked for us to pay the full price again (with a part going to charity, the amount of which was not transparent). Then we only get 10 and a half games on FFCTV and still no indication about our legal right to a refund. It’s a culture of “give us yer cash”...and once we have it ...we don’t even get a thanks! The club could have done so much last season, an online programme, a free scarf, anything that our wonderful PR or Marketing gurus could think up as a wee token....but naw! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll need someone proven though so if we’re going for Paton I think we need someone to come in with him. Also I really don’t want to see us play 4-2-3-1 in league 1. I don’t think it really works when you are trying to break down teams that will sit in. It works if you have the right players and they know their role's. Going off the signings we've made so far it looks to be a 4-2-3-1 we're going with unless Sheerin fancies Telfer and Hetherington as his midfield pairing. Most teams in this league will try bog down the midfield so if we don't play with three in the middle of the park we'll struggle to control games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 What is the ST refund stance across the SPFL? I know Motherwell are giving one free to last years holders but can’t say I’ve noticed any other club doing this? I expect the club May/will offer a partial refund to those that want one in the ST bumph out in the post this week. Although that’s just a guess. But if we are legally obliged to (sure I read that earlier in the thread?) then it will be. Again, can’t say I’ve noticed any other teams advertising that though bar maybe Partick Thistle? I personally can’t see any more than 1000 ST sales this season but if the team are winning & crowds are allowed back, even up to 2,000-2,500, then I’m sure that’s what will be through the gate. Even if with no away fans as rumoured. But will depend on the teams form for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 50/50 draw was particularly potentially illegal with PayPal regulations and transparency issues with draw. So, why start now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think people will be keen to get back to the stadium after 18 months, particularly if we can make a few more good signings on par with McCann. I’d expect circa 2000 STs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m wrong, but I can feel the preseason excitement starting to build up. A few more decent signings and I think we could be well placed. Seems there are problems behind the scenes but hopefully they can be sorted quite soon. I know this is platitudinous but as someone who isn’t in the know, not much else I can say. Rightly or wrongly, I’ll be getting my ST’s as soon as they’re out. Im hoping for some type of flexible ticket which will allow me to attend in the summer/autumn but be able to watch on iPad during the winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical woke leftie, doesn’t like the winter cold so watches it on his iPad probably paid for by his parents. Wouldn’t have happened in my day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
