shawfield shed boy Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 If we were put into the bottom 14 tier, there’s no way we could keep half the squad. And certainly no way to hold onto the quality that we have, contracted players aside. There’s no way we’d win that league with Cove and Peterhead involved. Another general point, if this happens and there are heaps of players on the free agents category, there will be chaos in teams trying to outbid each other for wages of the better players. Teams in precarious financial positions will either twist or literally go bust in trying to get promoted. Not to mention the amount of money we have spent getting promoted to League 1 in the first place. To have that (And the amount we’ve spent staying there) taken away would be fucking scandalous. Could we afford to keep contracted players after this season till football restarts. ?! Wouldnt be suprised if quite a few clubs start releasing players/management who are under contract beyond this season if government pull furlough during June like StPats FC done recently 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 There's a Youtube account who is adding old videos of ICT and Caledonian, they just put up this video of the Caley v Clyde cup tie in 1992. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haufdaft Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Looking at the latest news on the OS, I can't imagine any Clyde fan looking for refund for 4 matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely appreciate that everyone is in their own individual position currently (and I won’t judge those who do) but I won’t risk the club being plunged further into the s**t for the sake of £70. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d certainly hope not but some may be strapped for cash just now and every penny could count. Therefore can’t blame anyone who finds themselves compelled to ask for some cash back if it means putting some food on the table. I think the vast majority won’t find themselves in this position. Similarly I think the vast majority (hopefully all) won’t seek free tickets for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I agree, can’t blame anyone who at this time needs the money back, but I am fortunate I can leave it as will most likely be the case for many. Difficult times I’m afraid; at least the club has offered which is appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Does seem to have came to a halt.. still decent enough effort again from donating fans at this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 What options do you think the club may consider re. Season tickets?Sell tickets as normal?Full cost up front with refund later in the year for shorter season?Two year season ticket? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I’d even go with a £50 or £100 option now and a balance due when we know what league we are in or when we know when season starts. At least a little cash in the bank over the summer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 On season tickets, I have seen 14 home league matches which, at £10 entry (Concession) means that I have seen enough matches to cover the cost of the season so I would not be looking for any further recompense for the remaining four games. Would that work out for those at full adult prices? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a few folk might have a different answer for that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
