Another Edin Doonhamer Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 At Haddington v Deveronvale a very rough count was 610, counting all the wee kids too. Maybe there will be an official figure in the press as sit was a Scottish Cup tie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Faceman Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 A few scorers missing but the top shots mostly amassing the goals this weekend. Special mention to David Grant of Dunipace, 6 goals for him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With best wishes to Zander at Bo'ness Hope you give thought on the Haddington crowd Faceman. Paid attendance was 409, as detailed on twitter. But Hadd also said that with the kids it was over 500. I had a crowd of 525, before the official no. was announced. But if it is ‘head count’ behind the barrier, you should go with the ‘above 500’ crowd. Remember most clubs have kids under 12 / 13 go free with paying adult. There were a good sized number in that category who weren’t part of the youth team involved in the shoot out. Just my thoughts - you are the boss 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheers for every home penalty were certainly loud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without prejudice: Yes FM - you have your own point of view, which is clearly based on your superior inner knowledge, perhaps gained from your very short gig at that club. It seems you've described some of the apparent facts and none of the reasons why those actually happened. c'est la vie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no superior inner knowledge, I would have thought a look at the comments on your Facebook after the event made that clear. If you genuinely would be happy being sacked from your own work the way your club went about it with Geoff then fair enough. Others would have been going down a unfair dismissal route Nothing against any of the management team I wished them well. They may need it. You wouldn't know the way your lot are celebrating being 15 points off the pace with 1/3 of the season gone. Maybe our objectives were too much in my short time there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, this disagreement started out with Faceman not happy about the way the previous manager was relieved of his position and the somewhat strange but near copying of wording associated with a manager of a Lowland club being involved in the same fate. I do not think, but I can be corrected, that Faceman has nothing untoward to speak of, with the new management team. If so, disagreement completely confuses me as the way last manager left the club was completely abhorrent and cannot be justified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t agree with that version of events either FM. However , it that the actual version of events or just one side of a story, Geoff is always going to be a DUFC legend. Boards will come and go, but there is rarely a good timing for these things and pre-season was looking like a continuation of a poor season last year. i read their captain saying in he local paper that the new manager had been huge for them in terms of raising morale. Perhaps GJ had done his time there, as you say a good guy who I’m sure will be a huge success either elsewhere or no doubt back at Dunbar for a third or fourth spell once the committee move on. committees good or bad, and imho to be fair to this one, they seen to have done fairly well on balance , seldom last club legends are always…. Legends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Faceman Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Attendances complete for September. Overall 452/452 games in the East of Scotland Premier, Division 1 A, B & X, The Scottish Cup, The King Cup, The Alex Jack Cup, The East of Scotland Qualifying Cup and The South Challenge Cup Overall 87/107 games in the Lowland League. Hugely disappointing and far from the 100% set out at the start of the season. Totals 539/559. Here are the attendances by league and month. Lowland 1st. EOS Prem, then EOS Division 1 A B and X. All the Above cup matches, then the totals. Edited September 30, 2021 by The Faceman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
