Notts County & Juventus have had a few friendlies over the years - we should be getting in on that history, being (possibly) the first club in the world to play in the black and white stripes. This should be promoted on social media. My home team in Belgium, RSC Charleroi play in black and white stripes. Unfortunately the only connection between the clubs so far is the disasters both suffered under that useless c**t Tommy Craig. I’d love to see a connection between the clubs in a positive light, even something like Charleroi loaning players to Saints or something along those lines.

bazil85 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I think there’s a lot of positives to take regarding the growth of the club over the last few seasons. I feel more comfortable about our situation than I did last time we were in the SP. Will see how it works out this season but there seems to be a steady increase in our home crowd numbers year on year for the last few anyway, must be doing something right. The challenge will be keeping that going, if we can establish ourselves in the SP. A few things I’d like to see come in: Proper pre season fixtures to build the campaign. I know this might be more of a challenge with the League Cup but always thought the Renfrewshire Cup and one or two decent friendly fixtures set you up nicely for the season Increase the awareness and visibility of SMISA/ BTB. I would have a stall at the games for people to sign-up and more literature available. I’m sure there’s promotional material but I have not once seen anything at the ground to give someone the option and information to join More joined up approach with the W1 section. They have done a good bit for the young supporters and seem to be growing in number. Would be good to capitalise on that and see more engaged club events, especially if it could be targeted at Panda Club or maybe a bit older kids Last twice I’ve been at club events, there has been chat about possibly putting on concerts. I’m not sure of the viability but if it was possible, then it would be great to explore The arrangement with Newcastle which seen a few players loaned up gave a bit of excitement and obviously benefited them with Paul Dummett. Again not sure of viability but would like to see similar with another good sized English club to increase interest & also maybe get couple young gems. Imagine the progress of players like McGinn and McLean might be a good bargaining tool for us. For me overall, slow and steady wins the race. We have shown progress every season under the current BOD and still recorded profits every year. Long may that continue, don’t drastically change anything.

shull Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Lock the Gates, demolish and build something else on the Site for the people of Renfrewshire and beyond. Unless there is the removal of Celtic and Sevco, there is no point in the other 40 Diddy Clubs. Not while Celtic and Sevco schools dominate Paisley and Scotland as a whole. The battle is presently lost. Total waste of everybody's energy and time as long those two sectarian Clubs are accommodated. Get them to feck or breakaway and start Scottish Football again.

Lord Pityme Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Yeah. There is an outright blanket ban on any UK broadcaster showing a live game at 3pm on a Saturday in the UK. This extends to club TV channels who are free to broadcast live outside the British Isles, hence the need for a VPN to view. Nothing SMFC can do about that. Not quite you can subscribe to English League one clubs tv channels in the uk.I guess it's the top leagues that the ban applies to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MenstrieSaint Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Golf clubs offer members guest tickets at a discounted rates .

If not, 40 SPFL Clubs would remain irrelevant and would be better off dead. I would like to see our Match Programme Cover improved. There must be decent designers in our Support who could help. Totally agree shull. This is the only issue that matters. All fans of all non OF clubs need to boycott all games until they start a new league without the OF Everything else is a waste of time Fans who keep going to games get what they deserve.

shull Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Black and White Stripes. We play half our matches not playing in black and white stripes. When we play at home the black and white top is a fecking monstrosity that no other club in the world would want to relate to. Laughable.

Similarly some golf courses offer their club members reduced rates at other clubs who they have links with. I think this would be a good way to attract groundhoppers, especially from England/Germany etc. Might in turn allow our season ticket holders to get cheaper tickets to a Newcastle or a Juventus game via our season ticket, for example. Would be good to have local/club link/ticket for a friend discounts included on some sort of online membership portal.

shull Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 As a professional football club we aspire to be less than mediocre. We could finish third. We aspire to finish 10th and charge our fans up to TWENTY SEVEN POUNDS to witness continued shite. Our fans celebrate when a team in third place beats a team in the bottom 4 or 5. So rather than us attempting to reach third place we are thrilled to feck to languish around 10th place and revel in our pishness. Shut the Gates. No point anymore.
