Seen other fans tweet and create stuff, so wondered if anybody had thought the same with Alloa? If there was any chat on how to help the club if need be. Not in the know in the finances but think that those are the clubs that are in desperation. I imagine we're still at the point of counting the costs. BUT For us, we won't have players to pay beyond this season and only have 4 paydays(home games left in the season). I can see why Mike's gave interviews and said we will be fine. There's obviously going to need to be help from the government and I assume that's the first port of call instead of getting the begging bowls out with fans who may not be in any better financial states than the clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetoonlad Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I think the option to buy season tickets in advance should be considered . I think many fans would be interested in this at this time to keep the wolf from the door particularly with the lack of gate money and match day income. These are very difficult times . It's imperative that the league is finished and a decision is taken on this to allow the prize money to be distributed. Teams may be posturing on this at the moment but this money may be crucial. I would stop relegation and promote the non league teams. Come August anyway I fear some of our clubs will collapse anyway. Promote the top two in each division. We have been very well run over the years but I fear this counts for nothing of the income stream is closed. Its worrying times the annual Sportsman's dinner on Friday has been Cancelled also the spfl have announced payment which would have been made in may are being paid now and we are a well run club off the park . Thank God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwedge77 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Wander what clubs stance on the proposal for the league to finish early.Like most Alloa fans I would be more than happy to have another season in the championship. I would have preferred to confirm it by playing out the full season.I can understand Patrick FC position but they are bottom on merit and have been poor for most of the season so therefore they can’t have too many complaints. However, if we were in the same predicament, I would think I would be creating and expect the club to do the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Football obviously a very minor issue in the bigger picture of Covid 19, but in the context of our wee world it's really disappointing that the season came to a halt when it did. With the managerial change on the eve of the season we ended up with a tiny squad until New Year. On top of that we had terrible luck with serious injuries to key players. The players and management deserve huge credit for hanging in and not being cut adrift. With the return of Neil Parry before schedule having boosted the defence hugely, and with the new loans starting to settle nicely, we were looking stronger than at any point over the season. There was a feeling that the win in the last game we played (ICT) was the best performance of the season and we had Flannigan and Deas to go back in. I felt for most of the season that we'd go down, but things were turning nicely and I was really confident that we'd be ok. Really unfortunate that we won't find out. Even if we did get playing again in June (and we won't) it's a different situation. There is no ideal way to sort it out but if null and void isn't an option (and to be honest I don't like the idea of null and void anyway after playing 3/4 of a season) then the system devised is probably the fairest. I'm sure Alloa will vote for it. Would we if we were 10th? Probably not. I'm certainly glad we were 8th when the season was suspended. The biggest winners IMO would be QoS, the weakest side in the league and looking all set for 10th. In case any Alloa fans on here haven't seen it, fundraising for the club going on through FB and Crowdfunder.

whereismillar Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Agree with you, we were turning a corner and looked to finish strongly and i was really looking forward to seeing the season out . QOTS would gain but Partick could easily have overturned queens in the run in so it's not right in their case, its all too close to call and a horrible situation . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
