BB_Bino Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 1 hour ago, WattersIsGod said: I really feel like the club have failed to capitalise on the success. Winning a league is about a once a decade event and should be taken advantage of. Couldn’t agree more, a lot of genuine fans were asking if Champions merch was being ordered back in……we’ve heard nothing. The League 2 trophy is being passed around businesses and youth teams like a used scud mag (nothing wrong with that, all for it) but fans that couldn’t make the Sunday….will we have an opportunity?? Just feel flat after the huge success last season and the total lack of info takes the wind out of the sails a little. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Yeah the club have done a great job taking the league trophy on a tour of Stirling businesses and community groups, big credit for that. Seen loads of photos of kids groups with the trophy. However it does seem a little bit of a missed opportunity with no fixtures, prices, merch or match info to go with it. Every single one of those 1000+ people (mostly kids) that have held the trophy in the last 6 weeks should be going home with a flyer that has details of upcoming season, club shop merch, discount code for shop/match tickets, how much matches cost blah blah. Wee Jimmy comes home from his football training; Jimmy: Look mum and dad, stirling albion came to our class today and we got to hold the trophy, it was so cool. Jimmy's Maw: That would be a good thing for him to do on a weekend, maybe take him to a couple of games in new season? Jimmy's Da: Just been on the website, no information about when season starts, any fixtures, prices or anything really. Jimmy's Maw: Maybe will check it out in a few weeks, see if it's been updated. Out of sight, out of mind, they never ever go back to the website and forget about it all. Especially with kids, gotta strike while the iron is hot. They will move on very quickly. Just frustrating as there is clearly some really good work going on behind the scenes, but every day that goes by, it feels like we are losing more and more opportunity to capitalise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB_Bino Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 I'm glad the club have now come out with the prices and the info. I've already got the money for mine set aside but it's handy to know so I can use money elsewhere. Well done to the board, I think the prices are good when you consider what other clubs are charging. A quick google search showed that Annan's were just slightly cheaper (£225) Falkirk were way higher, and Montose and Alloa were just slightly more expensive, so no complaints from me. It always make me happy to see the club stick with the 12's and under go free policy, well done! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just the £7 more expensive than your lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hardly seems excessive and I take your point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloa's ground must be the only one in Scotland to have had several hundred thousand pounds of redevelopment work done to it the last decade or so and its even fucking worse than it was before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, made a mistake with Alloa some how, these things happen but according to their own website, a Main Stand Falkirk Season Ticket is £296 or £356 so “way higher” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I've seen some of the pictures of it and feedback on social media, looks utterly horrendous. Staggering that someone drew up those plans and thought that was a great design for football (I understand it is principally an athletics arena) and equally Staggering people from Edinburgh saw fit to roll with that as their new home, given Ainslee Park has a 4g surface surely they would have been better off groundsharing long term with Spartans. I was 'fortunate' enough to watch a few games at the old Meadowbank stadium before they became Livingston and fucked off to West Lothian and, horrendous as it was, at least the height of the huge stand gave you a reasonable view of the pitch despite the distance, this new version is even more abysmal than that.

parsforlife Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 It's not even primarily an athletics venue, It's a fancy council gym with an athletics track round the back which they've dumped 1 3g pitch in the middle(and another pitch off to the side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Belated congratulations from a Bolton fan who used to occasionally go to Annfield in the 70s and has rooted for the Binos ever since. All the best for 23/24 folks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staggering that someone drew up those plans and thought that was a great design for football (I understand it is principally an athletics arena) At one early meeting between Edinburgh Leisure and the Football Club it was unveiled by the Council planners that they were going to have shot putt, discus and javelin in the main arena and these were going to land on the 4G in the middle. I believe one of the then City directors responses was "are you f*cking mad?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin Taranbino Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Strong lineup tonight in our first friendly, doesn't look to be a first teamer missing. Not a trialist in sight either, some youngsters fill out the bench 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Greig Spence starting the season with a bang, 2 goals in the opening 5 minutes. That’s what you want, Strikers blowing the cobwebs off early doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
