Ex player Chic Charnley would surely be good crack for a sportsman's dinner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to see us organise something along the lines of this. I’ve been to a few over the years (never a DFC one FWIW) and they are always very well attended. I can understand why some Sons fans are frustrated about the lack of social events that appeal to the average football punter. I’m all for the club making money through other avenues but it’s nice to have an event now and again that appeals to our supporters, such as the event the supporters team have organised. If a drag night or a Queen tribute brings in money I’m all for it but it would be good to see the odd night organised that appeals to the core support. Get Richard Campbell booked and they will come. I'm going to this in May. It's in celebration of our centenary year. Richard Gordon is the host and I always enjoying listening to him on Sportscene. Dick Campbell story telling is probably worth the ticket price alone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE CHOSEN SON Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 3 hours ago, Bring Back Paddy Flannery said: Wilson and McKee are clearly confidence players and it’s down to Farrell to get the best out of them. Both of them (and Orsi) are signed up for next season. Wilson was a previous player of the month, McKee previously bagged double figure assists for us. Why can’t we find a way of getting these guys back to form and at least utilising them in their natural position when we have injuries? Is playing defenders all over the place really a better option? I mean started with 3 defenders in midfield yesterday! Absolutely this. I found it really really strange that McKee was brought in from the cold against Dundee and has since been frozen out again. I really think we need to find a way to get McKee into the team, even if he needs to play off the left. We’re severely lacking a player that can pick the ball up and move it around. His deliveries could also come in handy for home games on that bog of a park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this and have been to sportsman’s dinners at the club in the past that have been well attended. The club have two dinners planned for the 150 celebration I believe, that should tick those boxes. The key is getting as much on at the club as possible to generate as much income as possible, and that requires a wide spectrum Of events to cover all tastes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDYSON Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Would it not be easier and more effective to allow local bands to play at a “band night” and sell tickets themselves to friends fans and family. Would bring in a crowd that usually wouldn’t venture down. Use the other suite to host local food places at the same time in street food styled pop ups like bangin pizza, eat at Loch Lomond etc and the club could charge them to hire the space they will use. Lennox would cover it..make it a monthly thing… millions in the bank. (Well maybe not the last part) I think it’s a winner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thommo90 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Thats us being laughed at for the state of the pitch thanks to the spfl putting out a video of the alloa winner. I dont think the video even does it justice how bad it was. Edited February 21, 2022 by Thommo90 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still sponsor the boardroom. Just about everyone and their granny that works in there gets a day out to the rock. as for the hospitality I think it’s a pretty poor sell this weather. A £3 saving for a season ticket holder is piss poor. And not really worth it at all. Probs worth it if ur an away fan…even at that £60 or (57) isn’t great value. imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a free team sheet is hardly a sell…they are free in the supporters bar last time I checked lol I just think it’s a bit of a con. There’s a load of us that go to the last game of the season every year but I go cause it’s a good day out. Would I choose to go any other time in the season. Definitely not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
