PWL Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) £3-5 entry fee at turnstyle. Folk will not be put off paying that amount as they know it's going to be a donation to club. Limit it to 200 or so and double up the ticket as a lottery to win a signed shirt from this season. Open bar, pie stall and club shop as usual. Use the day as a recruitment drive for season tickets (and trust). Launch of new kit if that was feasible. Lennox Brewery set up a wee stall for bottles to take pressure off main bar. Only downfall to this plan is restrictions meaning extra staff costs etc plus Scotland not getting humped and everyone leaving at half time.

Serious question, not trying to be negative. Pubs have better drink selection and better prices. What's the enticement? What can we do better than a pub to attract punters? The usual pubs in the High St that are decent for football, the clipper and the counting House are closed and the rest will be rammed (as much as they can be). We have a huge function suite that might feel a bit more spacious and safe. As someone who's chucked the drink I'd find it way more appealing than a pub. The idea about a ticket inclusive of a raffle or something is a good idea I don't really care about the prices to be honest. It'd be nice and sociable for fans to get together in the same place in safety. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Chris Burke is said to be "considering his next steps in football." Out of contract at Killie, has ambitions to get into coaching, has been a model pro at a high level and would likely have a decent book of contacts. I've no idea if he'd be interested in the job. But he's the sort of guy I'd like to see us take a chance on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not a bad shout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at the moment it wouldn't but, as suggested elsewhere, there might be room through a variety of ways to address the pitch concern as part of any arrangement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I'm hoping the pitch was in such a state because of the pandemic situation. We saw how we delayed doing work to it at the start of the season (which backfired a wee bit) so I'm hoping with non-covid finances and a prospect of a normal season that we'll get the pitch in order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the Scotland U21s are due to play on it in a couple of weeks, I can't really see there being much time for anything more than a bit of Evergreen Complete 4 in 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
