    You must get special dispensation as the club builder. Genuinely refuse me every time I've asked :lol:

     

    Ask who? There's no-one man's that door. I've never once been challenged on it. Are you trying to go out the turnstile or fire exit or something?

    Nope. We tried to negotiate to let the Swiss out for a smoke at the last home game and it was a hard no. What is particularly silly about it is that if you're in hospitality you can stand at the front door and smoke until your heart attack arrives but those plebs in the fan bar can f**k off if they want the same privilege.

    I go out to smoke and come back in, fairly regularly. Along with a Peterhead fan mate of mine whenever they're in town.

    You just walk out the door beside the club shop into the main stadium entrance, stand outside and smoke and then back in again. That's always been the case for the circa 20 years I've been going.

    I think you need to check out what that club does in the community.

    Remember when you lot used to play at the Hibby in Duntocher? The amateur team leant the use of the ground in exchange for a tannoy as I recall. And as soon as the contact died, it was off on the road again for the Papers. I remember the pitch was so small Barry John Corr nearly scored from a kick out.

    Listen, I grew up in Clydebank, I saw my first ever game at Kilbowie (snuck in at half time as the ground wasn't full sided), but The Sons have done nothing to deserve any ire from any living Bankie. The two teams have either cooperated or avoided each other in recent memory.

    If the west of Scotland league forum is super boring and you come in here for some excitement then that's ok. I understand. I bought a season ticket for the Bankies during COVID just to help them out.

    Now stop pretending there's any rivalry between our two clubs and off you pop. There's a good chap.

    Yoker Athletic didn’t have a ground to “beg” for.Its owned by WDC but you already knew that.

    It’s a bit rich slagging off Spartans who are entrenched in their community when you support a club that is the polar opposite!

    I don't think you know what 'entrenched' means.

    In what way are Spartans a joke of a club? 

    I can't recall any sectarian comments made by Spartans' officials against their players recently.

    Pots and kettles.

    Aw I forgot I'm a sectarian. That obviously trumps the fact that Spartans are a nothing club with no fans playing at a sports centre.

     A ground with one stand and 3 sides with a 6 foot fence isn’t a proper ground!

    You begged a ground from Drumchapel Amateurs then begged a ground from Yoker Athletic and both times threw in "we'll fix it up" as a sweetener. Sit down.

    as it stands we are still in prime spot for play offs and six points clear of rivals. the manager and players are up for the fight shame the so called fans on here arent. the destructive negativity doesnt help anybody!! stick to supporting the team instead of your worthless criticism and thinking you know best. if u call yourself a true sons fan then put your money where your mouth is. 

    Put my money where my mouth is to be a true fan? I'm a season ticket holder, Sons Trust member, club corporate sponsor, the club's nominated builder, had my wedding at the stadium and have spent two decades throwing money at DFC. There's MY money. Now shut YOUR mouth, p***k.

    yea yea ok mr serious maybe try supporting the team instead of spreading negative thoughts!!

    Aye it's the negative thoughts of the users on here that are shagging the club on and off the pitch.

    Super fan happy clapper bollocks.

    Ourselves and Bonnyrigg being absolutely hung out to dry on tonight's View From The Terrace over the state of our pitches.  There was a snippet shown of last week's Peterhead game and it looked even more horrendous than it did at the game.  We could be risking reputational damage. 

    Nobody watches that abortion of a programme. I managed about 5 minutes of it before the Johnny Bravo haircut with the fake accent made me vomit blood.

  9. I'll go with whichever protest (which becomes the first one) is agreed upon by majority consensus, but my preference is active protest as opposed to passive. If withholding funds by non attendance is the plan, or at least in consideration, then remember that those protesting need to attend away matches in more numbers than usual in order to make the point.

    The only protest which will register is a financial one.  The club is utterly skint and Cognitive is the banker of last resort - neither will welcome a drop-off in income.

    Having long assumed that Stevie Farrell is effectively Director of Football - I can think of no other club which would not have acted on his record even before last night's latest shitshow - I'm seriously considering not renewing my season ticket as a protest against the supporters being gaslighted, but each to their own.

    Starving the club of income is a difficult protest to get folks to join, also it has potential pitfalls re: the health and future of the club. Remember that no-one turning up and no money through the gate suits the carpet baggers down to the ground as it justifies and enables them to close, move, relocate,sell off etc.

    Whilst I’m not against the idea of people protesting, it wont make a blind bit of difference when it comes to Mackay. The guy genuinely doesn’t care about supporters or what we think. He has no interest in communicating with supporters. When was the last time he provided us with any form of update? After we were relegated when he told us about the floodlights and GPS vests? 

    Past regimes may have had a private member clubs mentality but I don’t ever remember a chairman at DFC who views supporters as a hinderence rather than the lifeblood of the football club. Without us there is no Dumbarton  FC and Mackay would do well to remember that.

    Perhaps @Sons Fan could convey to the chairman how unhappy the support are and could approach the chairman for either an update or a Q&A with supporters? 

    Better to protest than not. A standpoint of inaction means he/they is/are free to continue doing as they please.

    The hedgehog thinks it's doing the right thing by standing still in the road when a car comes.

  12. On the question of how to make a protest effective, I'd suggest that all of those of us on here that are regular attendees and aggrieved at the shambles going on shift our seats to a single block. Boos, chants, banners (always effective), are more effective and impactful when coming from a concentrated group/area as opposed to spread sparsely around the stadium. Also outside the entrance to the ground before the game,  whether that turns out to be 20 people billed as a loony minority or not it gets the point across. Alternatively we can all moan on here, do nothing, sit on our hands, feel helpless and watch the club we love be slowly killed as we sit in silent apathy.
