Melanius Mullarkey Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Deary fucking me. Does anyone actually read these statements before they publish them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 With the greatest of respect to my club and as a member of the FSS, them (and anyone else who wants to have an opinion on what's "fair" about where I put my money or how much I can afford) can get fucked. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Giving off 'you're not proper fans if you don't sign up' vibes. Pretty poorly written. Certainly not a positive encouraging tone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every fan is as flash as the guys in charge. Some simply don't have the money especially during these times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FFC1965 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Is Gary Deans back? What an aggressively worded and desperate sounding communication. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I’ve emailed them. They need called out on this 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Seen the words “change” and “manager” as I glanced at the clubs latest post and absolutely shat myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The email doesn't look great. All about how they respond to.it it though. One thing they are at least emphasising though is that we need cash in and to be honest they couldn't have made it any clearer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I pay £10 a month to the FSS and I probably could afford to pay more but now is not the right time. In the same way that I have said to my wife, no way am I booking a holiday for next year until I gauge how this current UK financial cluster f**k develops, then I won’t be committing money out elsewhere. Things are just too risky at the moment, I’m in a privileged position and I know for some the choice is way more stark, heating the house or feeding the family. Badly worded statement that isn’t taking account of the financial plight many fans find themselves facing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Also aye that is grim. Did Kwarteng or Truss step up as a guest writer for that statement? Out of touch and stupid as f**k. Edited September 29, 2022 by 18BAIRN76 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeville Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Having a go at 90% of the support is shocking. I guess that a large percentage already either have a season ticket or pay at the gate. That money counts for nothing?

Russ Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 That email is fucking shocking. Not just the wording but the timing of it really is deplorable. Yes we do need more people to sign up for FSS if they can afford it but trying to shame people into it is disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Absolutely shocking that some supporters are putting heating their home and feeding their kids before handing over even more money to the club. Club quite rightly calling these selfish b*****ds out. Edited September 29, 2022 by Hughsie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caractacus Potts Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) That statement is extremely poor. Not sure what they hoped for it to achieve but trying to provoke fans in to spending more money because it’s their duty to carry the burden of mismanagement was badly judged.

ShaggerG Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Strikes me as a bit of a 'last throw of the dice' statement. They've tried encouraging and cajoling and have decided to try desperation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Backed the bod, albeit some initial alleged conduct still sits with some trepidation. This email is completely out of touch to put things mildly. The wording is very poor, and stinks of them and us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Why do they stagger the emails out to members? I've not received the update as of yet but from the above it's not good reading. Which is odd as every update up to this point has been fairly well put together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Just realised it’s an actual official club email and not just a FSS onewho actually wrote that and thought it was a good idea?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 When the questionnaire about signing up before The Campbell Fiasco around 1500 people pledged no sign up i seem to remember. That was the numbers then but ........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've tried encouraging and cajoling and have decided to try desperation. This, imo. Some supporters won’t like the cold hard facts that more investment, including from a large number of our big support (which is not reflected in FSS numbers), is desperately needed. The board have tried to be nice but this really does strike me as a final throw of the dice statement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
