Why don’t we turn it in to a positive and try get the club to open up the Brockville Bar and hire out the Westfield lounge to broadcast the game? £10 entry for I think 250 capacity. Could make the club a few grand and be a good night for those who can’t make it down to Somerset? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then your perhaps going to see even less fans going down to back the side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea but no way the sfa allows this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Was wondering last night how much they electronic subs boards cost, is this something FSC could maybe buy the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinking and one of the few grounds that I actually look forward to attending. Likely to knock off a few hundred off gate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Selfishly (very) can now make the new Ayr date. With the original date being the Sept holiday weekend, it may not impact the crowd too much. I’d still expect a minimum of 500 to travel and maybe a few more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially as part of the 5% idea I mooted before. Could put an FSS logo on it so members can see where there money went to and club could sell the branding for it to a potential sponsor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 It is an Air show taking place the original weekend so the police would have said no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry @Andy Dufresne. Realised your reply was nothing to do with broadcasting the match. @Big chungusdo you have any more information with regards to thinking the SFA won’t allow it? Can’t find anything that says it’s a definite no goer. Edited August 23, 2023 by Van_damage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Reflecting on last night, you just sense something is building for once, finally. The players, the management, the fans, that atmosphere & the connection is growing game by game. You just feel it . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if 500 make it down now. A good weekend train day also bus trip stopping at fenwick. One of the great days out which was my first thought with the cup draw....midweek no so 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Roar Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 You needed SPFL permission for a club to “beam back” the game, I believe they asked for one on 2 occasions, v Dumbarton last game of season a few years back and when we played in Ireland in the Trust Tropht cup and both times it was refused. But with streaming within the UK for the game so it’s possible (ayr’s stream) but they’ll probably need to do a deal with Ayr with possible lost income. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both feet on the ground, with all respect a further ten or so consecutive performances/wins like Tuesday night, I might fully agree… 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was more on the last 3 games as to how we’ve played/battled but absolutely, proof will be if we can sustain it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
