Side note: hope they put some of that new training stuff on sale, simply lovely looking, top marks for macron Training gear was minted ** if you were there you’ll understand ** 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I couldn't believe how busy that was tonight. I've seen it quieter on match days (and I'm not talking about Covid ones before some smart arse pipes up). Absolutely brilliant to see. And folk weren't just buying one top. They were chucking in a hat, scarf and whatever else. Hopefully the club made a decent whack tonight, because the guys who have worked so hard on the DFC 150 merchandise deserve to have their efforts rewarded. Going to feel cool AF strutting round Milan in my Sons top in September I echo the comments about the training gear too. All the Macron stuff looks really top class. A massive step up from the Sunday League Joma efforts of recent seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 So far as I could tell business was very brisk indeed tonight. Top marks to everyone involved - the clobber is outstanding. Small practical point for anyone still to buy; the usual rules apply - whatever size you think you are, go one bigger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarko_son Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I have to say I never thought there would be a time where I'd have to queue to buy Dumbarton tops. Got there about 6.30 or so and was really busy. I had the intention of just getting the home one when someone in front of me had an away one opened up. Ended up caving and getting both. Well done everyone involved in coming up with the merchandise and tonight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 For reference with regards to how good a job the guys have done designing and getting our kits out this year…here’s a horrendous Thistle effort 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, Sons fans didn’t like Andy Brown (you too, seemingly) when he was excellent for us. He was instrumental in our promotion under Carson, and was a perfect partner for Flannery. Then you get Sons fans who loved some absolute diddies because they did a lot of running. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Andy Brown is easily one of the most underrated Sons players of my time watching. He was never going to get you 20 goals a season, but was absolutely instrumental to the way that team played, and Flannery would have scored much fewer goals without him there. As usual when he comes up, I'd like to mention *that* goal against Peterhead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Great to see it so busy last night. Bought 2 kids' home strips and 2 season tickets, one of which is the excellent Young Sons membership. Merch was flying out the door and the place was jumping. Having an official shirt launch night was a brilliant novelty and it was cool seeing folk using the club for a midweek pint too. All things we don't usually have and a tonic to recent misfortune. It'd be ace if things like that could be more regular, but that may prove cost inefficient when not an anniversary. Maybe something for future discussion. Side note, and something I've mentioned to stadium staff in the past, but if the club could get more debit card machines they'd be laughing. They currently have 1 to serve all 3 bars plus the club shop, so on match days if (like me) you aren't the carry cash type, buying a pint is a palaver and the staff can be a bit shirty about it. Last night was a perfect example of when more machines would have been a boon as there were 4 people serving at the club shop (3 serving the merch queue and 1 the season ticket queue) all sharing one payment machine. The bar staff said last season that the reason behind this is the WiFi signal not being strong enough, but there are boosters available for signal strength. Definitely worth looking into. (Constructive criticism, not negative). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 We've signed goalkeeper Harry Broun, who was our trialist on Saturday. I saw him play for Kilwinning Rangers in the 'Kilmarnock Pie Cup' final a few weeks ago and thought he was absolutely excellent. He got Man of the Match that day. I looked him up afterwards and saw he was on loan from Kilmarnock and, based on that showing, I expected them to keep him and maybe loan him out to someone at our level. He was good at the weekend too. Based on those 180 minutes I'm pleased we've brought him in. Looks like, for the first time in a very long time, we have two strong options between the sticks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should technically be possible for the staff to use their own device but the funds still go to the club account. Anything is possible these days, I was bucket shaking in Morrisons recently (no signings spotted) for charidee and could accept donations via an app in seconds...
