Fed up hearing 'we weren't told there would be this many away fans" when turning up at Killie, Hamilton, recently at St Johnstone and famously at Dunfermilne a couple of years back. Not enough space for us in stadiums with loads of capacity, problems getting in, running out of catering, etc. People at the club need to talk us up more, think we are undersold. A wee bit of success and we have one of the best away supports in Scotland. COYS. Aye. :grumpy, peckish emoji: nae Killie pies left in THE place that should be selling bloody Killie pies! recently.

Can't possibly happen... Well Gordon. Those of us who park behind the west stand pay for the privilege. Costs me, I think, £65 a year and besides giving an older guy like me a short walk to my seat, provides revenue for the club. But.. I would like to see more facilities for fans at the ground. PS. I use the 1877 usually taking one or maybe two guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Fergie's Furies gave us attacking football and victories. That is all we wanted. No need for extra facilities. Love Street was packed. We took on average, 14 Busloads to away matches. Very few had season tickets. Admission prices were not expensive. The Game is fecked presently.

Aye, you've said. Quite a few of your views are valid but the regurgitation/repetition turns them into blah blah fecking blah. Get a fecking hobby that takes you away from the internet.

Ayrshire Saints Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 So how was "fitba not fecked by the Sectarian duo and Sectarian schools" as you keep telling us then ? Pretty hypocritical. If you no longer support the club and don't want to contribute fair enough, your prerogative but stop giving us the shite OF excuses as if they were a new phenomenon. I wait a number of your dozen or so alter-egos shooting me down. You continue to let the bigots win and keep you away, the rest of us will continue to fight it and not let them bully us into deserting the club we love.

The default position adopted by a number of fans is apparently to throw up their hands and surrender to what they see as an envitsbility that things will not change. That's easy to do. Takes no effort. Give up, don't go to the games. In essence they are inadvertently supporting what they claim to dislike instead of getting along in numbers to support their team. It's only by doing the latter that positive change will happen and is already happening as our active growing fan base shows. Still.. I have sympathy with the view that more could be done to eradicate the socially unacceptable behaviours involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football has been generally fecked for over 100 years due to sectarian bigotry. Today is worse because the financial difference is gigantic and that is why no Diddy Club will win the Top League. In the 1970's and early 1980's the Old Firm averaged 20000 crowds at home matches. So the gap was still there but could be bridged by Clubs with exceptional Managers like Fergie and Jim McLean. Not going to happen again. The Game is fecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how many times you say it, and it is plenty, we will not sell out the ground so, is that it for the foreseeable future? I don't go along with the dramatic "kids crying, thrown out of their seats" carry on but any fool should recognise theirs an issue here.

Meanwhile in the real world. Your argument is a little like saying you don't vote because.. Well.. Because. Then complain when the party you don't like wins. Buy a ticket. Support the team. If enough of us do that then we can eventually reduce the allocation to the 500 or so that Munoz suggests. Only my opinion of course but not going along hands the advantage to the opposition, especially since teams no longer share gate receipts. Home games matter hugely.
