Volunteers aswell? I think the club are very good with fans and very good all round, I wasn't happy with the McManus situation but it was understandable in a business sense The website really is one thing that needs improved though, it genuinely hasn't changed since I started using the internet 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superlichtie87 58 Report post Posted May 31, 2015 Here here. Season ticket holders used to get emails in relation to any updates or signing news but we dont get anything anymore. A big lack of communication with the fans. Make us feel wanted so that we are willing to put money into the club for season tickets, etc. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the 1st thing that needs to be improved Club shop needs to be more accessible and more fan days especially to encourage youngsters would be a good start. At the least the board should aim to be the best club in angus but due to a lack of ambition they dont seem to be bothered that we're way behind forfar and brechin 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superlichtie87 58 Report post Posted May 31, 2015 The website just needs to up to date and have the latest news ready to release. Should also look to promote local businesses and try and link up with some of them in any way possible. Have charity events at gayfield so fans can get involved. More interviews from the management so we can see them in the herald but also post them on the website. Interviewing players too. Fans want to know more about the people working for the club. Fans also want to know where the money they pay into the club goes. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

relichtie 255 Report post Posted May 31, 2015 Callon has posted on the Mad site that the transfer window doesnt open until 2nd week in June and the official site will be updated when players are officially signed. How is it we can sign Hay from Formartine and Fleming from EF and announce it but not the others mentioned ? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
