    Not sure how things have went tits up financially? Tighter maybe yes, not tits up, as no fire sales and as I keep saying to the ever changing personalities that is rhubarb, lights are on, players are playing, ovens are still on, plenty of drink behind the bar, back room team still there, and they are still progressing. I don’t care what anyone says, if a player isn’t getting paid he won’t burst a gut and I just don’t see it. I see everyone pulling together on the park and as a former (but really bad) player I know from experience that you can tell instantly if a player is pissed about something with their body language. I’m presuming that the wages are the main thing so if they are getting paid then where’s the disaster? 
     

    Can’t see anything going tits up unless you know otherwise?

    Well the plug has been pulled from jg so that’s a massive hole in budget and I agree the players must be getting paid as no one has downed tools

    Wylie a the famous lottery wull be back. Mark my words. 

    No he won’t mate , when things went tits up this season financially I along with plenty others would have put plenty and I mean plenty into the club , gall never even answered which is fine so that ship has sailed , the committee can now come up with ideas that can keep darvel amongst the top 6 teams in the country , this isn’t a project for 1 person it needs plenty being involved and everybody in it together in my opinion

    If fans came out in their numbers every game then that would help financially. My point is fans that turn up to big games like die hards and havent seen a game or hardly seen a game all season. 

    I get your point but once you get the fans down the club needs to do more to try and keep them, an example when we started the lottery we gave people who came to the games discount to get in but this season that stopped without an announcement when the money issues started , now I get it’s only £2 per game more but tell the fans about it , don’t just announce good news and another for me that sticks out is play games on the Friday night , no worth having floodlights if ur no going to use them and I reckon we could get 150 more playing on the Friday night , on the other side I don’t know the cost of the lights for a 2 hour spell so that needs to be taken into account 🤷‍♂️

    I would say that’s the draw I wanted , be some tie to see who plays the burgh in final , I feel for arthurlie as in a one off they would have a chance against the other 3 teams , two legs gives the favourites a massive advantage as they can play bad once unlikely twice

    Super goal for Darvels first. Quite comfy result after 90 mins lochee bit disappointing but what a header in first half that was disallowed rite tight decision 

    Was a deserved win in the end but prob went in up 1-0 against the run of play first half , as u Said it was a very close offside call and then big Andy had a great save off his own error but second half only one team in it and third goal was a thing of beauty as was symies

    Well said my man. Certainly hit the nail on the head with ex committee men. Liked telling the Pieman how to spend his money but took the huff when he decided different. Doubt any of them lifted a hand at any work that was  needed done yet there puppet on here asking what guys who actually contribute to the maintenance of the pitch etc bring to the club.We all know who Rhubarbs puppet masters are and he's silly enough to be the fall guy for them. I take it there will be a mad rush of sponsors and others volunteering there services now the Pieman is away. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting 

    Ive read some nonsense on here but that takes the biscuit , I wasn’t going to reply but for the avoidance of doubt see the guys who left 

    one was never away from the place cutting the park while the rest of the boys helped him when he couldn’t do it 

    another supplied a load of the materials for the new dressing rooms and Keir white  suite 

    and another supplied the paint and also painted new dressing rooms , keir white suite and the terracing as well as barriers around the park and you know what that’s what committees do up and down the country week in week out

    It was a very good win against a team capable of taking points off the top teams albeit they were very poor today but that was probably down to us , can’t remember big Andy having a save , now a big game next Saturday against in form st cadocs

    There post a few weeks ago was "The current lead shirt sponsor of Darvel FC, QTS has agreed to extend its sponsorship for a further five years. This updated deal increases the shirt sponsorship of not only the first team but across the wider teams of under 20s, 18s, and 17s." that was from the QTS website link on post. 

     

    I actually never clocked that they were looking for shirt sponsor, seems strange. Now looking for main shirt sponsor for first team and 20s along with a host of other stuff. If QTS put in £100k was it just a cash injection or are they getting their branding put anywhere? I know that isn't my issue I am more worried about long term survival etc... 

     

    Hopefully a statement being released? No real statement from club since the one about financial issues would be good to hear current position and if John is away is there to be an EGM called to replace him?

    And one thing I will say the park should be named after John or his company with the money he has put into the club

    Back again, new phone and lost passwords etc...for account.

     

    Due to rather unfortunate circumstances with the co-owner of browning's, I have been told John has stepped away from the committee/club for the foreseeable future until he has the situation with his business sorted. I do not blame him giving the circumstances, he has to look after his business and family first and foremost. 

     

    I think this highlights the reason to have a big committee and also numerous funding sources so clubs arent left in the lurch. 

     

    I think QTS have provided some security with shirt sponsor deal for the next 5 years however new business support and committee support is being looked for. 

     

    I believe on playing side of things, things are fairly settled, although not his biggest fan Tony has done a good job fire fighting tis season as I am sure the situation he has found himself in hadn't been what was sold to him when he came in. 

     

    Having not had a game last weekend due to the league letting teams ground share and imcompetance of the league secretary, i went along to the Clydebank game. Very lucky against a young Talbot side, i was told by a Talbot fan 6 players in the team were eligible for their under 20s which shows how young of team they are. Having watched the game I don't think that winning the league is out of the possibilities still.  Clydebank have probably the biggest budget in the league yet they are a very ordinary side, actually felt talbot were unlucky. 

     

    Judging by the celebrations at the end of the game I was assuming that was the league won. I know we get criticized for Johns conduct at times, however that Bamford at Clydebank is the biggest embarrassment I have seen at a game made worse that he is a league official. 

    If qts have took the sponsorship for 5 years why they trying to sell shirt sponsorship on their fb page ? And the main stand which qts sponsor also ?
