This mob have signed lafferty who played in ess-pee-el last season! Even once a 6th tier club the biggest signing was mcshane, never near a cap for Scotland. This is different level spending imo I know there's a huge difference in spending and my point was that why do these clubs have to turn into aresholes over night with it and their general antics . ? Long established clubs like Talbot, beith , cumnock etc etc don't generally hit out with the daft antics of the pie man and now Johnstone burgh . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that this seems to be a self indulgent signing as they could have stuck to signing top quality wosfl players to get up to the top league and then maybe flexed the financial muscle if they wanted to ensure a crack a lowland league, but without the infrastructure that isn't going to happen so it will be interesting to see the plans off the park. Any Johnstone fan on here know of any immediate plans for the stadium and playing surface? I always enjoyed playing at Keanie park but last time I was there a few seasons ago to take in a game it did appear in a state of disrepair and in need of TLC To be fair, as I stated before, there are huge plans for the park, but will take a bit of getting over the line fir various reasons. the guys behind this are well intentioned, honest and hardworking individuals. no one is perfect and I think they’ve got this one wrong on a few levels to add, it’s over for me and a few other long standing Burgh regulars Edited July 12, 2023 by Johnstonian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantar fasciitis Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) That's good to hear, I like Keanie park so will be good for those die hard fans and behind the scenes people who have no doubt been about the club for years seeing the place getting a makeover Edited July 12, 2023 by Plantar fasciitis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Putting aside the cost of this. What about the clubs he will be visiting in Div 1. They will need to employ security staff and maybe have policing to ensure his safety. There are enough nut jobs out there who will see it as an opportunity to make a name for themselves. That opens up the prospect of clubs being punished because of incidents, most probably caused by idiot's who don't even support them. That's before even thinking about the visit to JMP. Disastrous publicity for the West. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energyzone Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Great publicity for the First Division and should help boost crowds at most of the grounds when JB play. It's done, so let's look at the positives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit unfair to say it's a problem for the clubs Burgh will be visiting. How can they be held responsible for some randomer who is turning up just to have a go at K.Lafferty. First few away games will be interesting. Hopefully nothing happens, but we are all aware of the mentality in this country.

Burgh mostly (bar a wee spell late 70’s/early 80’s and that was on one guy) has been fiercely neutral obviously had people on either side involved but ALWAYS left at the door. Current manager is a Celtic Supporter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geo87 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Burgh (and Mckim) have spent years building themselves back to a decent level in a sustainable way. Couple of bad results and he’ll be out on his arse. There’s no way he would have wanted this pantomime surrounding the upcoming season. Can’t believe this is the direction JB are going in, absolute madness for this level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
