Amarillo Bairn Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Sounds like it could be this in navy and white? No getting hate for this if it is navy and white pinstripes, white shorts, like the old coasters strip, wouldn't say it was anything like a Dunfermline strip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Falkirk play in Navy Blue. Dunfermline play with stripes of varying widths sometimes with white prominent and sometimes black. It does not take Better meddle wi the De’l knowledge to know something simple. The home strip looks like a Dunfermline one. And yes the Coaster one from years ago was honking too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no affiliation with the board whatsoever (or any fans group) but I said previously it was naive to expect the Rawlins to allow the fans group to have parity before they'd had a chance to do what they originally bought into the club to do. If the fans group had invested 12 months ago or been prepared to negotiate their red lines then things could have been different but the Rawlins got their first so are not likely to want to dilute their influence before they've had the chance to do things their way. Don't forget, they're only here because the fans backed their investment. I get how in black and white the value of the fans group investment should allow them to have a say but things are not always so straightforward and both timing and demands made are important. Overall what I've heard about the fans group on here is positive and hopefully a safety net if things go tits up but some of the whinging on here doesn't do the fans group any favours, and the bull in china shop approach is very unlikely to get any of the current board onside. If a 2 from the current board, the Rawlins, 2 from the investment plus a fans rep and independent chairman is not a balanced ticket that recognises 5 principles I don’t what is. 1. Retains the seats the Rawlins have 2. Gives continuity with 2 of the current board still there ensuring some of the foundations already in place are not torn up. 3. Gives a balance with the Rawlins investment (remember to retain his 26% he would need to invest another 160-170k) 4. Brings fans representation back to the club 5. brings a new chairman in to ensure that all sides pull together for the benefit of the club and giving the club the fresh start it needs and deserves All that and the club get best part of 750k as a result. if that is bull in a China shop so be it.

All good and well.... quite a few of us support it. This is negelct by the Board, to not to accept a sizable chunk of cash. If this is to save their blazers and pander to the Rawlins then they are not looking after the best interests of the club. Are you just going to sit back and accept the rejection of the Board or are you going to be proactive and do something about it ? Why not go public and state what has happened, who are the stumbling blocks and why. The CI lads had the balls to do it, why not your investor Group ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone I am sure could give the details , but I know they got hammered repeatedly about pantone, and shades of white and brand and signage and no messing with the brand and and and, yet they go and sanction that. The hypocrisy is just amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the outside it looks as though the Rawlins and the Board have made the decision to exclude the investor Group.

Anyone with a passing interest in lower league football could pick those names out. Agree we don't need a DOF, but is this not Holt job to identify these kind of players and get them signed,, after last few years of shit we have signed, id trust Holt more than Lex .....but they are at pains to remind us he is not a DoF, he is a SD. What the differences are I don’t know, but I am sure the job description changes by the day. One thing had better be super clear, and that is Sheerin’s role in all of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying there's not a lot of sense in that as an ideal set up but the point is it failed. That means either the conditions attached by the fans group were unacceptable to the current board or the Rawlins were against and influenced the board to reject. Most likely both though I'm not in any way itk. I'm not surprised if the Rawlins were against it as they want to do things their way. Its not attractive to them to be part of an equal share committee even if that does make more sense to us as fans. To get this through a different approach is going to be needed. That might be to give the Rawlins the control they want but drip feed the investment and make it dependent on the Rawlins achieving set targets that are designed in the clubs interest. A bit more creativity basically than here are our demands take it or leave it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
