Absolutely mad that we'll be majority fan owned next season, by the way. Very proud to have been part of it. I really hope it turns out to be the right thing to have done. It wasn't loading for me either but it worked fine this morning, hopefully you can vote now. Pretty amazing that it's happening so much quicker than originally planned as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a bit broken, but I refreshed a few times and got there in the end! Perhaps controversial, but I went home 2, away 3 in the end. Home 2 is channelling some of our very early strips, so thought that seemed like a good enough reason.

houston_bud Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 13 hours ago, GAD said: The only way the draw could have been worse was if it had been away! I think what most of us were hoping for was Hibs to get Rangers and have one of those days, and then it was anyones. As it stands, someone has to beat Rangers, so it might as well be us. You do obviously think of 2013 when we supposedly had no chance against a good Celtic team, but, to be brutally honest, we were a far better team then, or at least we had far better individual players. Guys like Thommo, Isma, Teale, McGinn, McGowan and even Vanzy and Goodwin were more than capable if going toe to toe with the OF on a good day, and frequently did. Not sure we are at that level right now. Agree with all of this. That's not to completely write off our chances though. Rangers will probably still be in Europe so I'd expect them to rest a few players. It's a free hit for us as well, we don't need to worry about goal difference or anything like that. We should just go out and get in their faces, if we end up getting beat 5-0 so be it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring the bib and the JD kit, very thin stripes can work well.At least we are being given a choice now.Morton give their fans choices and some of their kits were absolute belters. Even ones that weren't chosen.If we are paying through the nose for a £3 jersey we should have the final say in what we are buying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stripes are wider than on the JD abomination, which was just so fussy and over-designed. I always picture those promo pics with Greg Wylde. Yeah, the voting is a step in the right direction. Morton don't do much right as a club, but I always thought the voting was a very fan-friendly move. I really think it should become an annual thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the indications I am getting from this and BAWA, it looks like it will be close between 2 and 4. I'm not especially keen on 4 at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to diss the Bib, I used to make sure I chested the ball during a game to get a Mitre Delta mark on it Plus it looks far better than the bib strip the Saintees had at the same time.

The sponsor often was horrible, but I thought two were stand outs, the home strip we won the cup in and the one in 2016/17 which was pinstripes with the names of the 87 cup team shading alternative stripes. I also thought the away top from the cup year of all black with a red stripe and the yellow and black away top the year later were great, despite the howls about yellow on BAWA. I know JD were a pain, but the customisation was a good point. I don't mind the fans picking, but think fans tend to be very traditional. You'll avoid the horrors of the relegation year tops but you'll miss the one-off bonkers shirts that are sometimes quite fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the following season the fans could design kit templates and then have a vote on what two* everyone wants? 3* if Tony Fitz gets his way and we need a European kit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Given that we have raised the issue to the authorities ourselves and are investigating, it looks like it may be either an individual or a supplier. If it's not playing/management staff then the sums involved should be relatively minor. It also says we do this annually, so hopefully it won't be a long-standing issue. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Stewarding , pre-lockdown ? More than likely something like that. Looks like the club have alerted the authorities so probably an issue with an external supplier contract 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
