Clach have fab pies and their burgers are excellent too. You must just have been unlucky. I'll be there +2

I don't know the figures, but I do know that it's a combination of all of the above. I also know that the club are delighted with the support shown by the fans in buying season tickets. I think that they had budgeted for a slight drop in numbers, so to match and probably by now exceed last years numbers is excellent. The Supporters Trust have increased our number of tickets so that we paid similar money to last year. We can now accomodate 30 children on a match day with 6 adults required to supervise. Ratio of 1 adult to 5 children just for safety. If you do know of any youth organisations, schools or clubs who would like to take advantage of the Trust tickets, just get in touch with any of the board or e-mail DJS at [email protected]. CaleyD and I have a meeting at the club this afternoon, so we could ask for some figures to be published.

I'm pretty sure Foran only had a 1 game suspension. Lionel was injured on Saturday, hope he's okay and Imrie too.

First of all i never harrassed the lad. Im sure im like most people when i say i couldnt pick the boy out of a line up just now, let alone before he even started playing 1st team football lol. I think the calls for him to go are a bit extreme . He's young, i think the best thing to do is forget this whole thing, and i can promise there will be no more songs sung in his direction. "loutish behaviour"........judge me when u can refrain from ur sexist remarks elsewhere luv :P Seems a sensible outcome. The lad may have been a bit out of order when you saw him, but that didn't justify the chants on Saturday. I heard some individuals shouting some horrible abuse. I'll be happy to leave it as long as this is the end of it. If you don't want to support a player that's fine, but abuse like on Saturday is inapporpriate whatever the circumstances. He has only just signed for the 1st team, so suggestions he should be given his marching orders are ridiculous. I really hope that this is the end of it and we don't ever have this situation with one of our own players ever again. I have said a couple of times already that the support was phenominal on Saturday for the whole 90 minutes, so plenty more of that please, just cut the abuse.

The shop 'Wifeys' are all ICT fans and therefore attend many away games. Not sure it's relevant. They will obviously be really disappointed that the shop is closing and they are losing their jobs, but I suspect they will carry on supporting the team. In fact once they get over this decision and find alternative employment, they will enjoy match days without having to work. Oh and I'm not sure that they will appreciate being WIFEYS. lol

Not sure if you decided to make the journey yesterday YaBoy, but there was definitely more than 1 person shouting abuse. The guys were great and sung for the whole 90 minutes. The noise from our support was clearly heard by the media and mentioned a few times. Great atmosphere, great support, few numpties.

Sorry Clacher I don't agree. Most of our players will have allegiances elsewhere. The abuse directed at Kyle was way out of order

This is being discussed on another couple of threads, but I think we should let this one run for a bit. Hopefully the offenders will be big enough to come on and apologise. I have said it elsewhere, but it was completely unnecessary and spoilt what was otherwise a fantastic support. Kyle is an up and coming keeper and like him or not he is an ICT player and shouldn't be subjected to abuse like that.

There was indeed a Pars fan in the Caley support, but as his partner is an ICT fan we let him off. He upset a couple of people when he jumped up as they nearly scored, but they all kissed and made up and there were no more problems after that.

That was more than 'some stick' as you put it. Regardless of what may or may not have happened the abuse was inappropriate. I don't think that there is any excuse for it.

East End Inn was excellent. Staff very friendly. I would happily go back there next time we are playing in Dunfermline. Legends is an excellent venue, I think we could learn a few ideas from their commercial team. Some great ideas and events advertised. All in all we were made very welcome. Good to catch up with Buffy and Groovy Dave too. x

I'll second that - great day. Good to catch up with you both

The chants aimed at Kyle were the only negative part of the day. Really disgusting. He is an ICT player and as such deserves our support. Where he comes from or who he fell out with had nothing to do with it. The stewards and police were excellent today and allowed us to get right behind the team so it's a real shame that a minority of fans chose to abuse one of our own players. A number of people around me didn't realise that the abuse was aimed at Kyle, but Kyle was aware of it and it'll do nothing for his conifdence. Thanks guys for creating a fantastic atmosphere today, but please refrain from personal abuse.

I'm on the bus.

My understanding is that there will be a matchday shop, not sure of the venue though. Don't know if they will keep the portacabin or operate from within the stadium the way they did before

Yes most definitely. Looks like Connie might not want to meet up with us, but I have just spoken to the East End in and told them to expect 40-50 people as I'm really not sure how many there will be. I know CaleyD's bus is going and a few more have said they will be there. If there are any large groups planning on joining us at the East End Inn if you can post here or PM me I can up the numbers if necessary. I think it's great to have 1 place to meet rather than everyone doing different things, it helps get an atmosphere going before the game and it's great to meet some more Internutters. Looking forward to it See you all on Saturday

According to the official site this game is just an additional pre season friendly See here

I think by containing all fans to the main stand we won't have lost money, but we certainly won't have made much.

Ha ha - what was that we were saying about school holidays. lol

Happy with that Our neighbours are at home to Hamilton, that should be an interesting game

Terry Butcher has indicated to the Supporters Trust that he would like us to organise another similar event, maybe towards the end of the season, where it will be during the day with a proper full training sesson. Otherwise it would be much the same format. It was a pleasure to work with the club to pull it together in a short space of time, so thanks to them for all their help.

Stratford Much better game today. Real fun times. Rossco showed some of his superman qualities. New players did well, real team effort. Young Kyle Allison did well in goal, although he didn't have much to do. If we can play like this on a regular basis I think we'll do okay for the season. 1 point though, on the way home I was listening to BBC and one of the pundits suggested we would do well because other teams have to make that terrible journey up the A9 to play us. No mention of the fact that we will have to make the journey every other week. B)

There is always a demand for the training kit and track suits, but it has been a few years since we have had any available for sale. Goalie tops are another item that people regularly ask about and these were definitely great sellers in the past. There was only a small order and they sold out quickly. The young kids who like to play in goals with their pals or their school or street league teams would rather a goalie top than an ordinary top. I believe that the club are missing out on an important revenue stream by not providing these items for sale

would have had a tweeter if there had been a wireless connection available at the stadium. Should be sorted for next week.

You will definitely get in. I don't think there's any chance of the main stand selling out, but it did I'm sure there will be a plan B. You won't be locked out despite the press spin on the press release.
