Stadium manager? Very frustrating. It's the light output that's the issue so they need to cast more light for TV coverage and the company who was going to fix it uncovered the issues but yes, since admin the stadium has been looked after by volunteers with Purvis helping out on the big stuff as far as I'm aware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Gibson, ex Hearts physio, has been doing the job in the meantime so when Ross says a new physio is in place, which one Karen has been helping out in the interim a permanent announcement will be made in due course. So perhaps Ross was alluding to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if we could do up behind the north stand and away end. It's badly needing done up. Wonder if the club need that space for car parking? Otherwise it would be a great place for a fanzone a la Ayr United's plan for one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As somebody who follows Scotland abroad, the fanzone is a pretty standard thing at every ground I go to. Really adds to the pre-match atmosphere. The problem with Scotland replicating it, is that you are treated like a child and they probably won't sell alcohol, then you have the issue with our crap weather during the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely ways around that. My local has a back beer garden that gets used for outdoor gigs. They have this extendable sort of canopy that covers the crowd of it is raining. Something like that makes perfect sense. I think, like you say, the problem is that football fans in this country are treated like convicts so might not even be worth the bother. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree hopefully when the Germans arrive there will be a chance to put suggestions to them. Top of my list would be a marquee for the summer months to sit on the tarmacked bus/car park also redoing the seats with rail seating in at least the Norrie and NW 31 minutes ago, Stellaboz said: I meant before admin, I think anyone volunteering their time for the club in any way should be knighted. Ah yes, they threw the stadium up some of the corners they cut are unbelievable for instance the undercroft in the Norrie only goes between 2/3s / half way along the stand and they filled the rest in with concrete/ rubble to save fitting out costs same with under the away end, it wouldn't have taken a genius to think it would be good to have additional space on the plot. Forgetting of course that the redevelopment probably ruined the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 EEP is too big. A permanent reminder of the folly of asking clubs to have 10,000 seater stadiums. Somewhere between 6,500-8000 would be more than big enough for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the only reason it was at at 10k instead of, say, 6k, was to allow more Celtic and Rangers fans in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) It was daft the 10k rule, but we still built it even bigger to 12,500 at the time. Edited July 30, 2021 by Chubbychops 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our TV deal is worth £20-£30 less than the Polish league because those in charge sell it like only 4 games matter all season. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy that when you treat your own “product” as sub-par, that’s the perception people will have. Even the names of our leagues - just copying those in England - absolutely screams inferiority complex. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The days of us getting regular crowds of 12,000 are long, long gone. Halcyon days of Leishman. If we deliver on the pitch and get back in to the Premiership and play regular, top-flight football, we'll be doing well to get an average of 6000 a game. EEP is far, far too big. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're being honest, it was for only a few years under Leishman when we were getting such high crowds. I think over our history, regular crowds of between 4 and 6k for games against e.g. Motherwell or St Johnstone are decent and more for the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, Sevco and Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Graham Dorrans talking about Dunfermline being in the top flight “when I grew up” was distressing.
