Ross. Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 1 hour ago, mathematics said: http://www.fitbastats.com/kilmarnock/club_records_league_attendance.php Stadium move? You mean the upgrade? Mind that 93-2000 were happier days. A return to top flight football, European nights, and less TV games are there are these days. I'd be happy with getting to an 8K average to start with. You'll also notice from those figures that the **** bring more fans than celtic, who were posted missing after the **** died and sevco were toiling in the lower leagues. Upgrade, aye. Will admit, I confused Muirton to McDiarmid with old to new Rugby Park for some reason. The period you mention is when I really got into football and started going. Seemed you were playing in front of a huge crowd most weeks. Would hope with the current results, that’s not far around the corner again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Observer Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Our board will have to carefully consider whether to give Liverpool/Man City two stands in the CL group stage game or reduce it to one due to our increased crowds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Apparently we have got Conor McAleny on loan from Fleetwood Town. He was a great signing for me throughout FM, so here's hoping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig McCulloch Burley Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I think Kilmarnock will announce few new players tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday (deadline day) to new signings with winger, midfielder and centre back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a great signing for me throughout FM, so here's hoping. A couple of guys on kickback who have seen him play say he's pretty decent, hard working, can play out wide or behind the main striker. A bit of a left field signing but the gaffer must see something in him...... In Clarke we trust. He seems to like a dig from outside the box. Barton rates him, this from 11 days ago...... https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/football/fleetwood-town-fc/joey-barton-confirms-conor-mcaleny-has-a-big-part-to-play-at-fleetwood-town-1-9543425 Edited January 28, 2019 by C4mmy31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 We apparently watched him but ended up going for Kennedy. Seem to be pretty similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4mmy31 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) SC also working on one or two other bits of business, its been mentioned possibly another striker. Oh.... it was confirmed at AGM we only budgeted to finish in the bottom 6, we really are punching well above our weight.....

NanakiEmi Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'd rather budget bottom 6 and bank the extra cash for a rainy day for now than overspend. Yes we are enjoying this but it won't last and I do not want the debts to return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem rather on the high side, but they might be taking into account associated costs. Not sure if they get any income from hiring out the pitch to the local community, but there would be increased costs related to where the team would then train etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually bothered to read the fucking article then you would have noticed that it includes the cost of a new training facility, since we currently train at Rugby Park. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Delighted to hear that Killie are keeping an artificial surface. Scottish football NEEDS artificial pitches. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Our plastic pitch at Starks is miles better than our grass surface, which was always a real problem for us. Weirdly it's the same surface as Livi have, but they appear to have an huge amount of those pellets on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few sites looked at in and around the town which required us to build roads & roundabouts at our expense according to the council. So what if it gives us an advantage..... we didnt hear anyone moaning when we were an easy 3 points before SC arrived.

What SSC said and when asked afterwards Paul McDonald, our academy director who is very involved with project brave , explained that it costs approx £2 million for the pitch. And to meet the tough elite status for project Brave we would need to first source then buy , then build the facilities , with assosiated maintanece , staffing costs etc etc this would cost another £7-£8 million 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stay close by and the floodlights are on 6 if not 7 days a week in the evenings. Edited January 30, 2019 by C4mmy31 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
