the philosopher Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 After the Annan ticket fiasco & the "drought" in Elgin certainly no professional. Any suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy's Ghost Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 These are clubs living on a knife edge budget. These things should not happen but we seem to judge these clubs by standards of much more established financially viable clubs. Total embarrassment from my club today but 95% of the time it's a very well run financially viable club. Complete sympathy/empathy with supporters that have travelled because it's happened to us more than any other club because of the distance/time to away games (not in such a shambolic way granted).

Any suggestions ? The ticket thing was just comical. Okay, maybe Annan fans were a wee bit embarrassed but the SPFL won’t give a toss as it’s not reflecting on them. The only question for Annan directors to answer is “why bother”? Yesterday was entirely preventable though and infortunately for Elgin fans their club has a poor record for fixture completion. The introduction of another level to the promotion/relegation ladder is designed to help better organised clubs with better facilities and better club governance to comply with the SPFL business model. Maybe Elgin are a high standard by HL comparison but there’s quite a clutch of LL teams with very well run clubs, which includes making decisions to invest in 4G pitches. I really like Elgin as a town and the Briggs is a nice wee stadium but if the pitch/drainage is a recognised problem Elgin FC directors do have solutions available.

Thom & Gerry Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 First postponement in 2 seasons? Farsical as this one was, our club would stand up there with most as how a prudent club at this level should be run. Some of the posters on here should dig a bit behind the scenes at how there own clubs are run and start worrying about them. Peterhead apart!

HibeeJibee Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Simply a misunderstanding on Elgin's part, IMO. They were just trying to win on aggregate. 3 hours ago, Thom & Gerry said: First postponement in 2 seasons?

That could have won the one-liner prize at the festival. Top drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
