Double Jack D Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Agree with pretty much everything DA Baracus said there. So do I. Theres a lot of support just now and early crowds will be quite good. The 2nd Division is a cesspit however and it requires significant will power to continue to go week in week out. It helps if you are winning it but, with Sevco in attendance, this will be a huge challenge for you guys this year. Whether your fanbase will drop to wee team levels though.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Some people seem to forget that fans were right on the players' backs when we were 0-1 down at East End to Forfar, yet the 'official line' seems to be that the support was brilliant for this game. It certainly picked up, but only after we'd scored. Where I was sitting the support was fairly constant throughout the game, yes it did pick up when we were scoring but this isn't exactly surprising. Considering we were 4-1 down to Forfar which in turn was about to get us relegated, any sort of support was brilliant for that game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If east fife do sell out their end the fair enough, but they couldn't get that for the play-offs that's why I'd be surprised. I agree we are likely to see a fall in crowds later in the year because I've no doubt that too many will be deluded into thinking it will be easy, but even if I'm wrong those turning up that aren't used to going every week/fortnight will get bored/return to what they normally do on a saturday. On the negativity issue, I agree that at times our fans have been negative including in the play-offs, but I think most are making a genuine effort to be more positive/forgiving to the players. I think that the attitude would have been more negative had this effort not been made, but old habits die hard and those that used to berate anything and everything for 90 minutes aren't going to stay silent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Pretty sure The stadium company bought it for £1.1m largely funded by John Sim. We have only been paying interest on this so assume the purchase price would remain similar. 2nd para Who'd a think it, we're benefiting from the cva already. That tie could be a cracker given it may be at least a season before another one and for the first time in 25 years we go in as the big team! Sent from my GT-S5360 using Pie & Bovril mobile app initially we were only paying the interest on the bank loan for the stadium for which sim is the guarantor but have been making inroads on payment and the loan was sitting at under 400k a few years back however the complicated structure of who owns what at starks,the inner workings of our finances and the fact were still waiting on the accounts from 2012 or is it 2011 its difficult to tell the exact sum still outstanding sims committment at the time of the rescue was and still is to my knowledge to do his best to gauarantee football at Stark's Park until 2021 by which time he was hoping to have the bank debt retired.he has or had no intention of selling the ground although i know the directors are doing their level best to reclaim the ground somehow 2ndpara,aye how ironic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Fife Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 baws that east fife are only giving us 780 for next saturday. new money wankers What? Why would we give more tickets to the away fans without trying to sell our allocation first? I don't think the last time we played and beat you in the cup a few years ago it was a sell out either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) The principles of the people involved in the rescue of Dunfermline F.C. must be questioned. Yes they have saved the club from extinction and will probably be euphoric with the outcome. But to achieve this there has to be some "small" victims, creditors who have had to accept that they have no say in the agreement. Who gave much thought to their predicament ? Going by past experience some of these small companies may not survive. Has any commitment been given to these companies who may have serviced Dunfermline over many years as to their involvement with the club in the future ?

Rovers_Lad Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 good post allan some small victims may be an understatement ,it would be interesting to know how many voted against the cva, creditors excluding staff and players 3663 Food ServicesAberdeenshire LarderAberdeen Football ClubAir Temperature ControlAlmor CarpetsArbroath Football ClubAutomatic Retailing (Vending) LtdAldermore Invoice FinanceL BaIgenThe Belhaven Brewery CoBitwise LtdCraig Brown PhotographyDavid Brown Gas EngineersBooking Services InternationalBMI Healthcare CollectionsBMI Healthcare Collections130CBank of ScotlandBritish Red CrossMr Graham BrownCaledonia's Larder LtdCampbell Medical SuppliesCamtecCharisma BlindsCharlie Irons Coaches LtdChrystal Petrolium Co.

DAFC Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Is this really any different to the thousands of businesses that do the same and are not mentioned in the press? It's not right and it's all down to one or two people who should be facing the jail but instead they can just walk away and start a new business. I'll bet that every football club in the country has bumped off at least one company at some point and used another. Be it catering, paper or something small. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parfecto Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 You sound like a tit. What a horrible 'billy big time' attitude you've got. Wake the f**k up. You couldn't be further from the truth. However, you're entitled to your own opinion (maybe something you should consider before launching into a tirade of abuse towards others who dare to voice theirs). I will agree that it is up to East Fife how many tickets they decide to give us. However, I'm just disappointed that I may not be able to get a ticket for my old man, who attends near on every game with me but doesn't have a season ticket. If I have offended you I apologise, but I certainly wouldn't consider myself to have a "billy big time" attitude. I am completely aware of the size and fragility of our club, and no one was more relieved and humbled than myself after yesterday's outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am completely aware of the size and fragility of our club, and no one was more relieved and humbled than myself after yesterday's outcome. Apologies, but the fact you said it was a 'bloody disgrace' led to me assume that you are one of our fans who still thinks that we're somehow a 'big club' and has, for some reason, a superior attitude. Calling someone a tit is hardly a tirade either. I remember when OldRangers were given the North Stand for a game a few years ago, and there were plenty of Pars fans complaining about it. I'm not saying you were one of them, but now fans have the audacity to complain about East Fife not giving us more tickets. But I can admit my mistakes, and you seem to be a good guy who is grounded, so I offer my apologies. Sorry about your old man, and hopefully you can both get a ticket somehow. Failing that then I'm afraid you'll both have to climb that tower you can see from the stand, if indeed it's still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly what happened is indefensible, but it seems that you're taking every opportunity to seem offended on the behalf of others and are trying to use everything about what happened to proclaim what an evil institution DAFC is. It's done now, and we can only hope that lessons are learned (although if I was a local business there would be no chance I would deal with the club again). Time to move on and try to rebuild relationships, which I believe the club are doing. I don't think it should be forgotten, but there's no point dwelling in the past. I know of a couple of businesses who were hit badly by the club, but they're moving on and one of them, one of the worst affected and most lied to, even had the manager and players in a few weeks back to do some promotion (the only promotion they'll be engaged with for a while I suspect). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Was down in Newcastle when I heard the news. Gave a whoop of delight and did a little dance. Fantastic news and very excited for the new season. Been great seeing all the positive thoughts from opposition fans and hilarious taking it all the seethe from others One question, if you had ordered a season ticket will it get sent out to you or do you have to pick it up at the ground? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
