Bairnardo Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Just now, Van_damage said: An idea I had for the FSS which I’ve mooted before is a 5% fund that gets voted on quarterly how to spend it. The options can be put forward by members and even divided in to short, medium or long term projects and the money split accordingly to each one that is voted on. For instance long term could be saving for a LED scoreboard, medium for improvements to facilities like decorating the Brockville Bar further and something like a tifo could be a short term project. It would allow for more engagement with members and an opportunity to see first hand how your money is making improvements to the club. St.Mirren do something similar which as far as I’m aware has been quite successful. 5% shouldn’t make a huge difference in finances too but can produce improvements elsewhere that become visible. It may also help increase membership for any fans that would like to have a vote. I like this. We, the payers of FSS subs now own a big stake in the club, but it would also be nice to feel like we were ollectively spending money on making the club better for us as fans to enjoy. It would be great to go for a pint in the bar all done up knowing that we all had a direct hand in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I'll grudgingly take a drum if flares go by the wayside instead. Nothing against them, just the ones that get thrown and the time wasted getting them off the pitch. That grinds my gears, and will also damage our nice new pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Love all the Brockville chat. Makes you want to rattle the cage & give it the big’un. But the new generation need their ways & memories too. Good luck to them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine most of those clubs fans weren't thrilled with it at the start, people need to suck it up. If it goes well I expect to see apologies in here from some I’ll be honest I work at several grounds with successful fans groups and the drums is just a constant droll to me. The only time I enjoy it is when it’s samba style drumming at some international games for certain nations. Think an issue in football is that fans equate noise to atmosphere. To me what makes a game much better atmosphere is when you can hear the anticipation of the fans and the reactions to what’s happening on the pitch. When you’re at Celtic or Ibrox that gets lost a bit from some of the constant singing and to me it takes away the organic atmosphere. It’s like being at a 6 nations game. There is very little singing other than the odd rendition of Flower of Scotland however the atmosphere is often electric. I’m all for an ultras section though but drums is a big no for me and wish we would ban away fans from entering with them too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkbairn23 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) A bit late on the favourite 11.. Some of the shouts below I have no idea why, just have a special place in my heart as a boy. They may have been pish.

falkirkbairn23 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Agree largely re. the young team. I think it's brilliant the club is engaging. It would be great if there was a singing section each week. Seems to die of death after one song at the moment. I would rather no drum to be fair, but if it helps I wouldn't mind. Comes across a bit tinpot IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I think the idea of engaging the younger fans is brilliant and love the idea of a raucous, rowdy, rebellious group creating noise and mayhem and if drums are part of that well, ok. But they're a bit ... needy and crap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have any trialists and numerous posters on here have mentioned hearing that the budget is gone unless we move someone on. I think that's pretty safe to assume. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I'm all for improving the atmosphere get a proper bloody brass band in if you want at least that's music but a drum brought in by some punter whose never played a drum properly in their life is just a constant monotonous racket that does nothing to add to the atmosphere at all. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rose Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Thought you boys were excellent on Tuesday. Midfield dominated. The boy Lawal? I think was a step above that. We were poor but looked a lot fitter than last season. Hope the boy in the ambulance at the end was ok. Good support and thanks for the cash. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
