It’s just not helpful for genuine supporters of the club when they are told lies from Someone passing on gossip. who from the committee has given you this information that would even make it remotely true??? someone is telling you they are signing Scott Allan, efe Ambrose and Leigh Griffiths as per your previous posts? I’d be questioning if they were fit enough to run the club if that’s the case! Please also let us know who the backer is since you “sort of know him” but not well enough to talk to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy for traditionalists to have a pop at the Boys Clubs and the Cages my friend. Not been to the MTC since the Academy where playing behind the leisure centre down the path. Didnt think there was enough room at front pitch to develop fan facilities, again not been there since forever. So memories patchy. Brilliant what you have achieved since I first met some of the academy boys on the pitches behind Excelsior. Long time ago now. Keep moving forward brother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, some people forget some of these clubs are decades old and I'm sure it didn't happen over night for them. I've been to many grounds who don't have half what we do and have given up trying to be honest. just remember if you need the toilet you've to say you need the toilet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant. These modern facilities are the way forward for any community clubs. Seems some in here would rather pish against a brick wall or fall down crumbling steps just because a grounds got history 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 To the Johnstone fans... you have taken a key player from us, with two years on his contract, paid a fee and made an offer too good to refuse when he was already in receipt of an offer from us that was very good... how is this sustainable on the limited means of clubs in our set-up? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt say dinosaur, more of a traditionalist. In an ideal world all new builds would be a nice grass pitch in a field/park type area. But I think it can be a mite disingenuous to dismiss all cages as not acceptable. Within the spectrum of cages their is a variance. Just for examples; Bonnyton at the Synergy have a setup where the fencing is back from the pitch, whereas at the much publicised Hub at Huntershill the fencing is right up at the pitchside, apart from the 2 fan zone things. Not for me to say if one is better than the other. Have been to plenty of grass/traditional grounds, not prepared to name any, that have bumby/poor pitches and no cover or notable fan facilities. It can be easy to dismiss and group all new builds into one big pile. To finish I'm an old codger born well over half a century ago. But like to pretend I'm down with the kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that is out in the public domain is that they were registered on companies house as a private limited company at the end of last year and show as having a single director who also owns or co owns another couple of businesses. I assume you are in the know of who is behind the money? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money they are believed to be offering people, in excess of £500 a week for some players is crazy. If their backer gets out they’ll be fucked. Hope the contracts are riddled with clauses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great point as I agree I would love a great big grass park however when you have 500 kids and 5 adult teams then the only way forward is 4G. i disagree with the atmosphere part though as we have had our ground rocking in a few occasions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has obviously been a power of work done since I was last there. The photos are very impressive and I must eat some humble pie. Very best of luck in the top flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
