At EEP would be fucking brilliant as terracing. Split 50/50 with home and away support. Would seem especially beneficial considering that seems to be where the folk making the noise are. ETA. Not that it would necessarily stop wee dafties from chucking stuff, but still. Absolutely. I think its a bit of a no brainer really, would be a bit of a buzz, a bit of publicity, encourage more away fans and up the atmosphere. As you say we have the perfect place for it too. Could have a whip round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, EEP is one of the better away days, especially for an all seater - but the rules around stadium capacity and all seating were a crime against football. Anyways, glad to see you lot appear to be keeping Falkirk down. Hope you have a shite season once you're up next year though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe standing is pretty much a pipe dream, unless you are Sevco or Celtic. 'Safe' standing is a con but, although expensive, what would the cost of making most of the NW just regular terracing? Celtic already have 'safe' standing and a few EPL clubs do as well. 6 minutes ago, AuAl said: Ah right, that's a shame.

Fully prepared to retract that statement if they pump us on Monday. That's true, should be a very interesting league next year. Depending on who goes down / up, it could be the first completely full-time 2nd tier for a while. Not that full time status is a definite measure of competitiveness, but you know what I mean.

Guest Wind Chime Jimmy Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 'Safe standing' is on the agenda longer term. Been spoken about few times at supporters sessions. Being honest it's the next logical step. I'm sure the clubs aspiration was/is that a supporters group take up the reins and run with it, regarding an initial feasibility study. The immediate issue to overcome was that the existing steps in the NW aren't wide enough: what a load of shite that is surely, given folk stand safely every week in there. Anyway pause for thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf if Killie can afford it then with some careful planning it should be achievable for most teams. Like if your replacing the seating in a part of the stadium it would make sense to try and budget for the rail seating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par-adise Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I suppose it's an issue of priorities with funds at the club so tight. Do you fork out to redevelop the north stand for safe standing or do you give Matty Todd a lifetime contract? I'm all for safe standing but I would guess most people would rather that money was invested into the squad? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Really looking forward to the seethe next season when Beni dicks the Wee Team as Pars captain 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 We’ve not had a proper captain for a while I don’t think btw. Don’t know if it’s achievements this season but having Beni as captain for a good years with relative success would be most welcome. We’ve been crying out for someone like him for ages. Someone that plays with heart on his sleeve. He is not Premiership standard and he may be ok in the Championship, but you can already see he is a player you’d hate to be up against as he gives absolutely everything. And he is number 4. Written in the stars to be a Pars legend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class in this league and will be great for young lads like Kerr to learn from and demands a lot from his defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Bene is more than capable of playing championship football. Can't think of any of our first team that aren't capable of playing in the league above. Obviously that varies from lower end to top end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have only signed 2 players in bene and hamilton and the rest are loans. Ok we are more solid and the younger guys have a year under their belt but I wouldnt assume we are comfortable going into the championship Edited March 12, 2023 by Fifes Elite Force 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I think if you look at the players that played under Grant/Hughes and how brutal they were and the improvement made, glaring examples being Chalmers and Todd (but everyone really) I dont think comparing this team with the team that got relegated is viable. Now with a young but competent manager they are showing the quality and drive they really have, not the shite that was produced under 2 terrible regimes. It would serve us well to forget 2021/22 forever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 IIRC, we had a quote from one of the board/sponsors when we were not long out of admin and it was a hefty 6 figure sum to covert the stand back to terracing. I’m sure fans could muck in and help out if there was a will to do it. Or just make a solid gold terrace like some lower league Incas when we eventually sell Marty Todd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Flights booked to be at the last home game against Clyde, hoping its done and dusted by then it's simply a matter of a title party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
