Within ten days of sealing the promotion we had 11 of the squad signed back up, four new added and seven announced as released!! What more do you want? There's the very real possibility that in many cases, Lennon and Dishon may have had two contracts drawn up for each player prior to the second leg of the final, one for being in L1, and a significantly different one for L2. Thats the very least im sure that went into these talks. Lang and McStay, i have no doubt would be higher-end of the scale for these. Freedom of choice for both to exercise their rights, we're not running a Jim McLean trafficking operation here. In fact, slaves would probably get more in benefits that the wages Clyde historically have paid. Which must bring comfort knowing very few if any players are ever here for the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Fisher Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 For fck sake only 101 subscribers so far....piss poor imo. We go on about financially supporting the club; e.g...wanting Lang and McStay to sign a new contract and most of our fans won't even put up the price of a measly coffee & bun each week! Fck the prize money....it's not about winning prizes....it's about helping your club. Of course some fans are not able to afford even this and that's fair enough....but come on folks, most of us can. Clyde office has made it so easy to sign up (Go Cardless) so let's get the fuckin' finger out and give Danny and Allan something to work with by both signing up and encouraging others to do the same.

maxruby Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Wow! What an angry, unwanted and unnecessary rant! The Clyde supporters who have already bought a season ticket, subscribed to The Clyde View and are perhaps intending to renew their ownership will be heartened by your encouraging plea to do more, sorry, even more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Mon the Bully Wee!! Calm it, dammit, Janet. First draw is July 16th. This was announced AFTER May payday (last year's Flying Start was much earlier) and with June's to come, and then a full two months open transfer window after, 100+ is a great start. Also, with from what a reliable source told me down the kennels we've sold more STs via the Early Bird than expected. Add an increase in media and PR interest, larger attendances, a steady if not spectacular raise in bonus money, dodging the graveyard round of the Scottish Cup, etc. Is there a reason for such panic from Mr Fisher? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxruby Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Minutes ago I received this. I may be more inclined to react positively to this missive rather than one from a Beatrix Potter character on too many sticklebacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your post is meant to be either encouraging or grateful to those who support the club- it is neither. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was announced six days ago, with the first draw now thirty-seven days away. Last year's fund generally had, what, 220 subscribers? We're almost halfway there and that's a boost of over £250 a week to the player budget for the coming year, over and above supporters' contributions via all other means like STs, walk-up attendance, programme buying, lottery playing, merchandise purchases. All of our fans have done superbly in backing the club financially in the past few years, especially given the decade which had gone before and all of its many false dawns and disappointments. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not simply a £5 commitment, it's a £260 one and in many cases, on the back of, or in the lead up to, another £230-260 (per head...)outlay (in holiday season) in itself a show of loyalty and support not seen or even asked for in return for a tangible product, since Greece were reigning European champions. The increased media and general interest may boost the numbers further still, if last years total (around 1 in 3.5 average fans enrolled) is matched, the pot will be swollen quite throbbingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Mon the Bully Wee!! the club's always looking for volunteers think you should apply for PR position as said season tickets up already been going 10 days and 101 already my family have now forked out almost 700 pound in season tickets plus I prefer to put money directly into the club than filling somebody else's pocket with a 4 figure sum and finally I certainly don't need a lecture on how to financially support the club 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sao Paulo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I'd recommend the podcast featuring Scott McLaughlin. A good listen for Clyde fans wondering what it was like for the players to work under Barry Ferguson. McLaughlin's very candid throughout and his account of things confirms a lot of what was widely thought about why Ferguson ultimately failed at Clyde. Also, as I remember, the podcast's host - horrible man - suggests to McLaughlin that the Clyde support have a certain notoriety in so far as they're difficult to please and sometimes antagonistic toward players and management. McLaughlin, rightly and admirably, brushes the suggestion off, adding that the Clyde support of the time were right to be displeased. And that is really the only attitude a player should have toward a support in the circumstance where the team hasn't gotten good results. And it speaks to McLaughlin's quality as a professional that he'd say as much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whyever then, would he want these notorious antagonists tuning in, far less feeding back on the casts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
