Jan Vojáček Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I see that we're doing a deal where ST holders can bring a friend to the Stranraer game for half price. Good idea imo, especially given Stranraer will likely have one of the smaller away supports in the league. Hopefully a few extra folk come along - especially with it being a few days before Christmas, with hyper weans in the house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sold out and then they added extra seats to it which also sold out too. Hopefully a good atmosphere and get a good few extra bodies in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Another great offer from the club in regards to half season tickets - any adult half season ticket bought now comes with a free U12 half season ticket. https://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=3877 I don't want to sound like a broken record, but the more of these we sell the more Duffy can do in January. If anyone is thinking about getting one then please do, it will go a long way. Also gives you the chance to bring along your son/daughter/niece/nephew and get that emotional suffering planted in them early, which will hopefully bode well for us in years to come! There's also a football card on the go at the moment, if you check out the facebook group or message me on here I can sort you out. Choose a team for £10 and £500 goes to the winner. Again, this is all to aide Duffy in January, so if you can support it please do. Club shop also open next Thursday 20th December in the evening for anyone needing some late Christmas presents. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine quite a lot of the people going will be season ticket holders, so perhaps limiting the take up for this particular game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at a time of year where perhaps more family members are home so I think the club are just looking to give incentive to folk who might just fancy tagging along on the day. With hospitality full it would be good to have the home end looking a wee bit better than depressing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well still have been in charge too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get relegated, crowds half, football is shite = apathy. Edited December 13, 2018 by Silverton End 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means he probably doesn't sign Grant Adam, Ross Perry, Willie Dyer, Brad Spencer or any of the other low paid squad filler we have. Not saying we'd have more than a point but we wouldn't have tackled the Championship with this squad, so it's hard to say we would've been shite or good. If he'd kept us up he'd have kept his job, but I imagine he'd have been given the boot at the same point he was this season if we were sitting below Falkirk in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted he would've had a better budget, but I'd imagine our big names (Dowie, Mango, Forbes, Loy and, dare I say, Hutton and Carswell) would've likely been the same. Handling and Gallacher would maybe even have stayed! Given how brutal we were to watch last season - and given the total mess he made of recruitment with our Championship budget last summer - I'm also not sure what our squad fillers would look like. They likely wouldn't be the players mentioned, but maybe just this season's equivalents of Greg Morrison and Aidan Wilson. Or maybe Stevie would've nailed his recruitment, and got us back playing the kind of football we did when Durrant first came in. Who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Craig Barr is on this week's Lower League Ramblings with Danny Denholm. I would listen to this but I've really gone off Denholm recently. Thought he came across well on the Pele Podcast but since then I've noticed how much he loves to slate the clichè footballer without realising he's massively becoming one himself with all that £2 patter and the slating of assists/'spice boys'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit cringey really.He tried to publicly embarrass a young lad from down south recently and I found it in poor taste. He also had one of the biggest arseholes in Scottish football on his podcast recently, in the shape of Dean Brett. It's a no from me, I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think it's been really good, enjoyed yesterday's too. Think they were just using that stuff as filler and playing on it to start with but it's chilled a bit. They obviously play on it and have a laugh about the posh boy/scheme boy stuff, it's no serious only a joke about. Might've had Dean Brett on who I quite like but they had Brown Ferguson on which was up there with a THHP conversation/podcast for me. Loved that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 There was a terrible inevitability about today's ending at Kirkcaldy; off the top of my head that's now away league matches at Brechin, Stenny, Airdrie, Stranraer and Raith where we have been leading but have proceeded to lose four and draw one. Our inability to defend a lead is becoming extremely costly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our inability to defend a lead is becoming extremely costly.Andy Galloway said on Twitter it's the 6th time this season we have chucked a lead away from home, taking a measley 4 points from a possible 18. I'm pining for the day we get to empty half of this squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
