Bairn in Exile Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) You think Sevco would jump at the chance of a plastic pitch, then they wouldn't have to play on green grass. They could have any colour that they want, just like pool tables. Or American football pitches. Blue or orange would be my guess. Edit: might clash with their kit, mind. Double edit: although Celtic play in green and on green grass! Edited June 21 by Bairn in Exile I'm a Silly Billy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ma Fckn arse, there will not be a whimper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) Across the water found this article, thought they would be in the top four. 1900 STs sold so far. Manager James McPake has appeared frustrated with the lack of business, insisting the Fifers currently ‘can’t compete’ with the likes of Ayr United, Partick Thistle and Raith Rovers in the transfer market.

Manager James McPake has appeared frustrated with the lack of business, insisting the Fifers currently ‘can’t compete’ with the likes of Ayr United, Partick Thistle and Raith Rovers in the transfer market. Why? It's never been more obvious than this summer that season ticket sales do not equate to the ability to compete for players at this level. There are clearly two or three clubs with a very significant budgetary advantage over the rest, and the likes of Raith and Ayr, who are chucking an shedload at it, both have significant financial backing behind them. Partick Thistle I am less sure of, and they have not brought in the same volume of players as the other two, but the likes of Chalmers and Turner are very good signings for this level and won't be on peanuts either. At the other end of the scale are the likes of Airdrie or Morton who have both lost significant players and are having to sign to replace, Airdrie in particular have lost a boatload of experience, McCabe seems to have his work cut out there. McPake's comments probably have some resonance with our own situation. Highest season ticket sales in the league - and probably by some distance - and we would have been an attractive proposition for a lot of players I feel, but ultimately we're simply not in the conversation for any of these players and don't have much of a budget to do anything compared to these clubs. Annoying, but that's the way it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've kept my counsel on it thus far, but the "what about the season ticket holders" take is absolutely wild. They are customers of a private business. A private business which incidentally, fucked off away fans from the biggest fixture for no reason other than petty spite. It's absolutely no business of the league how Rangers fulfil their retail obligations to their fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The authorities have learned from previous mistakes and now give more leeway to clubs about ground sharing (at all levels, but the top flights probably shafted everyone by agreeing the stupid "oNly GraSs!!" rule in that league now) at all levels. Queens Park benefit from it more than anyone. I've genuinely no idea why you're so raging about something that literally doesn't affect you or Falkirk in the slightest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) The Pars ran up a 7 figure loss getting out of League 1 and after a meh season back in the Championship their season ticket sales have been really poor over the summer. Absolutely no surprise if they are tightening their belt accordingly I'm not convinced Livi and Ayr are splashing the cash when they're only out-bidding little Morten, but it's clear Raith and Partick have been leading the chase for any quality player that becomes available Edited June 21 by NavyBlueArmy1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not raging in the slightest tho, so youl have to forgive me not getting your hyperbole. Maybe its for someone else. I was only pointing out that Rangers having ST holders is a god awful reason for why they can't be told to just close part of the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't saying it was. I was saying thats why Rangers won't do it except as a final resort when all else fails. Theres precedent of clubs moving stadium when their own is being worked on/isn't fit for purpose, and also precedent for clubs getting away fixtures when requested when their home stadium isn't ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Grangemouth Bairn Posted June 21 Popular Post Share Posted June 21 Right boys. Most of us on here don’t give a shit about Rangers season ticket holders or the fact Celtic fans don’t get into Ibrox anymore so can you take it elsewhere please. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I appear to have annoyed the wee Fifers on their page by daring to suggest that they are getting carried away with themselves before a ball is kicked. Mildly amusing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
