pie n beans Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Bring someone new in with fresh ideas who is going to buy into the community setup and stabilise the club and take it forward over the next 2-3 seasons as it's not a quick fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he should concentrate on the junior side of things before getting involved in any other areas? It's clearly still early days with the community club but I've yet to see any benefit brought to the junior team through this. Agree with the rest of what you're saying. Big decision for the committee, hopefully we'll get it right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathgate_Exile Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Have you signed on the dotted line yet for Craigshill Tower Afc Lol, no. I'll still be following bathgate home and away next year.

superbathgate Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Ofcourse the manager that comes in needs to have an interest in community club , there are amateur sides , 21s and 19s team that will be able to provide players good enough to play for the club With limited money available at clubs these days that's the way most clubs will be looking to for talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bathgate_Exile Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 True. Bringing local lads through would be good for attracting more punters through the door. My only concern is are they up to the standard? Of course you came through that way but how many others in your eyes are capable of following? I've not seen them so can't comment. I'd just like someone that put the junior team back in order before dabbling in other areas, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly still early days with the community club but I've yet to see any benefit brought to the junior team through this. Agree with the rest of what you're saying. Big decision for the committee, hopefully we'll get it right though. What should be evident is that for a a team like Bathgate, with hardly any support and therefore, little cash, is that they need the community club more than it needs them. The support that do go are ageing and only through the community club involvement will the club stand a chance in gaining a new generation of fans To be fair to the committee they have recognised this and are fully in support of the community club. The new manager will have to do likewise as this was a criticism that last year's manager rarely contributed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bathgate_Exile Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'm in agreement that we drastically need to get more paying punters through the door. Our support is pitiful, especially for a town of the size. Being a fan of the junior team my worry is that the team will be lost in a myriad of lesser, lower down the pecking order, teams. The junior team should be, and always, seen as the top of the table, no matter how many sit at it. From someone that is simply a fan paying at the gate, I'm not sure what benefit this new set up has brought to my team yet. I'm hoping in the next few years that'll change and I'm willing to wait and see. Hopefully the change will be for the good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
