In one of the recent pre-season matches, boys from Renton Craigandro were carrying out ball-boy duties. They were all in the bar before the match and were at the table next to us. One kid asked my friend (wearing his Dumbarton top): " Do you support Celtic?". Another one then asked me ( wearing a black/gold Dumbarton top): "What team do you support?". It does indeed seem that some local young people are not too aware of Dumbarton. What was good to see, though, was that when some of the opposition fans walked past, the Renton kids started singing in support of Dumbarton. Maybe if we could get more local kids teams in for free then maybe some will take to it. What is utterly vital in that respect is that youngsters ( with drums or otherwise) do not get discouraged from attending. We are far too close to Glasgow to not encourage youngsters to their local team; to do so simply hands them over to the old firm. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Muir Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 why haven’t TTL, have our new kit for sale on their website? Anyone any ideas? Waiting to flog all the old Stirling Albion shorts at a fiver a pop before introducing the new “kit” ? What a shitey, clunky website that TTL one is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimistic Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Waiting to flog all the old Stirling Albion shorts at a fiver a pop before introducing the new “kit” ? What a shitey, clunky website that TTL one is. Absolutely embarrassing, trying to get a top, none in my size, waiting on an order ( must’ve sold hundreds) , the ttl don’t even have them on their site. Does know onecat DFC look at this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Assuming he plays tonight, Saturday will be Stuart Carswell's 100th DFC appearance. Who was the last player to reach that milestone? Garry Fleming and Andy Graham were the first names that popped into my head - which potentially makes Carsy the first Aitken signing to hit 100. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Graham hit that milestone in a 3-1 win at Cowdenbeath in December 2014. Garry Fleming's 100th appearance was a 3-1 defeat at home to Rangers in April 2015. We won't have to wait over four years for the next one as Kyle Hutton is only four appearances behind Carsy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how fucking naive these c***s are. It's also an indication of how naïve some of our fans are that their fantastic plans went unchallenged for so long. However, it's pleasing to see that the local press is finally no longer just recycling Brabco's press releases, and we look forward to some background on the business of one of their consortium recently going under whilst allegedly owing a seven-figure sum to HMRC. No-one should be under any illusion; what was once probably a genuine attempt at a win/win situation for both parties has long since failed, and as far as Brabco are now concerned a dead DFC is probably more valuable than a living one - if we lose sight of that we may lose our club. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
