Especially as we also need to replace about 200 seats in the north stand and could do a bulk order now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still not correct. They have us August 20th away to FC Edinburgh August 27th away to QOTS? September 3rd away to Kelty For the QOTS game they have the club crests the correct way round but the fixture is listed as QOTS v Falkirk instead of Falkirk v QOTS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppetshow Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 i see from the other nite that the stadium is very light on advertising, We had a board on the far side which was ripped down before the first preseason friendly, no idea where it is, but with absolutely no contact from the club as to whether or not we wished to retain it...... which we would have paid for but not now with the cost of another board being made by the sign company and f**k all communication from the club, we wont bother. its not that difficult to keep local business on board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest to f**k give the guys a chance in the new board, pretty sure its posted on here that while the advertising is bare this was due to the fact a lot of those who paid for advertising hadn't been chased to pay up for continuing to advertise, they had a few years of free advertising at the stadium. If they had kept the board up would you moan that the advertising board is just too plain without any adverts on it and then suggest it should be taken down. On the seats issue maybe someone could walk around the stadium with a Navy Blue colour chart and match it against the seat once it starts to change from the colour on the chart they start a process of getting a new one, Catch a grip in the grand scheme of things whilst it might not look great I'm pretty sure they have more important sh*t to deal with than the above 2 issues, They have got 10 yrs of f**k ups to sort out. Pretty happy the way things are heading we could be taken over by an oil rich Middle Eastern country and folk would still find something to moan about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If sponsors have been getting “a free” advertising slot, understandably the club need to stop any such practice. However, would have thought the sensible and logical way would be an opening line of communication, followed by the appropriate actions. Sounds harsh removing boards without contacting the sponsor/company. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is disappointing, if true. Out if interest, when was the last season that you paid for the board? Surely you weren’t paying for advertising space up until last season and they’ve removed it without asking if you wanted to renew this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite pleased that the club have taken action and removed advertising that hasn’t been paid for e.g Imperial Cars. The free advertising fiasco didn’t cost the club anything, but it sure could have p****d off those that did pay. Knowing the guys in Marketing and Sales, I am a little surprised by the fact that they didn’t contact you before taking your board down. Maybe you just slipped through the net, or maybe you should contact them and ask for a rebate to produce a new board. I actually thought the level of advertising wasn’t too bad when I looked around last Saturday. More is better though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of these ‘free’ boards were genuinely free though and how many were in exchange for services provided to the club? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still free if those providing the services stopped providing those services but the boards were never removed. Complete shambles and at the very least reeks of a can't be arsed attitude from the previous lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Looking at the fixtures 4 away games on the trot early on will be season-defining. Of course every game is important and home and away even themselves out but 4 away games in a row is a tough gig.
