We are struggling with injuries but there are no excuses for going out and playing the way we do , game after game we give away goals a schoolboy team would be ashamed of. I didn't see too much between the teams yesterday but unfortunately when you are inept in front of goal and defensively, there is usually only one outcome. We need a miracle to stay in the premier division. We have some very good young players , all we need now is someone who can set them up to look like a football team. Second half u were probably better team and u have some good young players but on what I’ve seen this season unfortunately I can’t see u staying up but a long way to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because you’ve not had an input? you actually can’t come on here and say you know what a good 3 points etc etc and leave it at that you’ve always got to stick your negative bit in and talk pish.

We need a miracle to stay in the premier division. We have some very good young players , all we need now is someone who can set them up to look like a football team. First time I've been down to Dunterlie this season and have to say I was very disappointed in Arthurlie. They could still have been playing today and not scored. They probably had as much of the ball as Darvel but didn't do anything positive with it. Their best player was the young right back but he was played too deep to be more effective up the park. He did a lot of covering up as well as the defence was not very secure looking. I liked the look of Dykes as well but he needs more movement around him for the team to benefit from his abilities. The keeper is also a good shot stopper but I like goalkeepers who command their box and goal line like Leishman does. Obviously I can't judge them on seeing them once but from folk I know who watch them most weeks I think they are going to struggle to stay up this season - hope not but don't see anything other than this being the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when things are positive again within the club he needs to try bring them down. All because he’s nothing to do with the club and has no say wit happens doon the brae.. thankfully for all us Darvel fans as none of the guys I go to games with can stand the guy or his bum chum. The clubs objectives have mibbi changed , now it’s a crime tae say he wants to win the junior cup . Aye yer right all over mick laughing n joking , the guys an embarrassment 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am delighted to hear of Alan continuing his sponsorship for 5 years with the figure reported through the grapevine at £100k for the 5 season deal (£20k/season) paid in one full instalment to cover all 5 seasons. Certainly welcome cash boost at present. is it time for an EGM to be held, allow all fans in not limited to members, I know Covid played its part however I don’t recall an agm being advertised for a number of seasons now. Fans new and old bought into the plan for progression however in light of recent event is it time to grow a fan base as being honest for the level we are at we have one of the lowest attendances in league. Is it time to build on the developments over the past number of years and build a proper community club not just aim to go up the league when we haven’t got a broad enough fan base to cover it. I personally would just like transparency, good or bad I would still like an emphasis on the youth pathway, for me I personally don’t agree with the level of transfer fees at this level. I’d prefer to see boys coming out of Galston boys club into the 20s team etc… Hiya Alan. Hiya pal! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regroup and grow the club before throwing stupid money about again. Needs to be much longer term project Why not have it paid over 5 years then if don't need it this season? Darvel seem to need the £100,000 now to pay the player wages until the end of this season - certainly what it looks like to outsider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 3 if a player can't play for free for the club they love ie Messi going back to Barcelona how did Darvel get a way with it ??? Maybe someone has answers has to why this is happening to a decent team who grew to quickly But what happened to Mr I am God Mr speakers Mr motivation speeches Managers wages if he didn't take a penny something is not right .

Quite worried as season tickets don’t cover the game and then you’ve got Christmas shopping. It really is a worry at moment, is there anything the club can do to better promote it as lack of gate receipts surely have to be hurting us? We can’t be relying on QTS bailing us out all the time need to be self sufficient. Larky will turn up in force. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t be relying on QTS bailing us out all the time need to be self sufficient. Hardly relying on QTS money. £20 k a year will probably cover one of the players wages. There are other sponsors plus there lottery and the pieman. Darvel has never had a large support and it has grew considerably in the last few year but never to anything like the better supported teams. Even if Darvel agreed with Larkhall to reduce the price of entry it wouldn't put many on to the gate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 7 hours ago, Rhubarb-74 said: Long term for the club to work there needs to be a much larger fan base which to me is an uphill struggle. Even at our peak of performances our attendances couldn’t get close to the bigger sides. No criticism to Darvel for this but that is really the issue and it the same for the majority of clubs at all levels in Scotland barring maybe a few. Attracting new fans is really hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
