I cannot think of any significant amount being spent. What about transaction costs, e.g PayPal? Fair enough, if FSS receives £10 for every £10 donated, fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 1 minute ago, Proudtobeabairn said: Cash prizes would be to draw people in and encourage them to sign up. We should probably be thinking about some incentives to help increase FSS membership. E.g a referral scheme where a free season ticket is up for grabs at year end or a day in hospitality etc, not guaranteed cash prizes every month but one offs to try to push the numbers up. Good idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 1 hour ago, Dawson Park Boy said: David Lapsley did a fantastic job and BfL gave £61k to FFC with the balance shortly to be given over. Don't blame him for packing in after all the shit that was fired at him on here by FSS people. I don't think that's entirely fair, the only shit I saw him get on here were from people who donate to B4L and were angry about him just blurting out at the AGM where the money was going as if it was his own personal pot. It's been a great initiative over the years and everyone involved should be extremely proud of that. Hopefully the majority of the members do as you have done and redirect their contribution to FSS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also issue Standing Orders but they are tricky to stay on top of administratively as we get the info slowly from the bank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FFC1965 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Just received the email inviting nominations from FSS members. A really positive milestone for the club - OK its not a new signing but its more evidence of the solid foundations being built at our club - every week the shambles of the previous regime gets further and further in our past. As an aside I was down south at a wedding a couple of weeks ago speaking to a Scottish guy who works for FIFA. I was heartened to hear somebody with an interest in the game but no FFC connection acknowledge the fact that the club is being turned around after the fiasco of recent years (yes he mentioned <that> Board FAQ which is now seared into the collective navy blue memory.) I swithered over putting my hat in the ring but i expect that its effectively a full time job, so maybe one for the future. All the best to those who do put their name forward.

This will absolutely come back to bite me shortly. Agreed, credit where credit is due. At least for now. Jaime Wilson though…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkthebigclub Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 It's important to remember, less than a year ago, our previous board were a short-lived meme due to their own incompetence & contempt for our fans. This was no fly on the wall, hidden cam exposè but a commissioned broadcast on their behalf, a statement of their authority. We've already come on leaps & bounds but their abject failure will take some time to undo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 That’s because they actually believed that the things they said needed to be said, and in their world, the Q&A painted them in a positive light. Even now, 9 months on, the rank stupidity of the video still makes me laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good idea & one of many being considered. Lots of ideas are being looked at as part of the fundraising planning ahead of the new season. What is working and not working at other similar sized clubs was part of the review also. Watch this space. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under review also as definitely works at a few of the clubs looked at for what good looks like. Win/win for the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I wonder how easy it would be for FSS to set up some sort of loyalty scheme. 100 days of membership = some reward etc etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 We should have a 'sign up a Bairn campaign'. None of your 'introduce a friend' wishy washy stuff, sign them up! Most FFS members will know a fan, maybe a casual one, that is not a member. Get them telt! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioBairn Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Struggling to get my head round the fact that people refuse to sign up to a scheme designed to support the club and inject cash on a monthly basis but would then be up for it if they suddenly had a 1 in 500 chance of winning a hospitality voucher. Missing the point I think 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing the point I think I think that you are missing the point, the incentives / rewards being proposed are a way of interacting with and keeping FSS members engaged. The low take up to date is probably more to do with a combination of wariness after the shambles of the past regimes and the hellish cost of living situation. Its to be hoped that the encouraging take up of Season Tickets will lead to more coming on board with FSS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
