Yes that's part of the issue tbf. However I think a PT CEO would be adequate for us given where we are

OK I'm happy to start replies with a question. Does a club of our size need a full time CEO ? Personally would like someone who has better communication skills and local contacts and someone who recognises the value of fans

There's a big car park just over road from the retail park with Sainburys in it normally use

I don't know? Possibly. I know there was an issue though since we went to QR codes. No idea if a big issue really though tbh

It's to prevent abuse of system sadly

Which is why it seems all the stranger than our club does not maximise ways to bring in money like similar clubs our size. Hospitality barely runs and is so expensive when it does it only suits corporate. Other clubs do different levels of hospitality to suit all pockets. We didn't even push merchandise at Christmas. Partick and Ayr have fantastic bars at the ground with food and both are packed to the rafters. Our sports bar is awful. Poor fare and service. They changed the season ticket tiers without explanation scraping the 16-25 bracket. I'm told when this was introduced it was the most popular ticket. Young adults this age are more likely to attend regularly rather than young children who I suspect disappear to other activities and when parents have to pay for them. Our SM offering is so sanitised compared to before. Other clubs smaller than us have far better media offering again maximising income. Yes go after battery farms, concerts etc. But don't forgot the day to day money which surely all adds up. Oh and don't get me started on how top heavy we are on management off field. Hardly needed. Local knowledge for corporate stuff sadly lacking too.

Hard to disagree with any of that sadly

Lawal gets pass marks from me...

Anyone know why game started so late yesterday?

Suspect we didn't appeal when reviewed?

OMG no it won't. Just as a spell in the championship has been disastrous this would be worse.

Getting rid of Dodds was correct decision. However he was not replaced by the right person at that time imho

Where is the evidence of the dogs of War mentality? I haven't seen any sign of it. His post match interviews are now bizarre and show no urgency or acceptance of where we are. We last won at home in November. I just want this season to end.

Sorry Johndo we must agree to disagree here. He's just not what we need at this particular moment sadly.

Nor can I but Dunc will still say we were excellent lol

We were down other end so hard to tell. Ref seemed right on it and flashed yellow quickly. Doubt we will win without good evidence tbh

I'm told it paid off directors loans?

I don't think he has a clue re where we are this season. His priorities are so obviously different to ours? What on earth made him come over like that. Got pretty unpleasant as he seemed to gesture we lost due to be 10 men? Em no we didn't....

Not long home. Where to start.... Most of 1st half we were better team. Heading towards 0-0 at half time when Samuel quite clearly manhandled to ground. Beaton says no pen....really? To add insult to injury Partick go up other end and score. Looked suspiciously offside to us but given. Never really got going after that. Could have played till midnight and not scored. No idea re Kerr first yellow but second was just madness. Dunc seems clueless. Looks like board were starstruck and we are stuck with him. Feel sorry for the players as they put in a shift but we really are a poor team and fully deserve to be in 9th sadly. Not sure I can face a home game next week....

I was there. If we played till midnight we wouldn't have scored. After the non pen then their offside goal we never looked like doing anything

Apparently we can't sign him due to English FA rules? He's been at Newcastle, Newcastle u21s and Forfar. So that's the technicality

We are very top heavy management wise off park. A few probably on bumper salaries. I expect income has dropped too as very few fan activities under the current regime. Hospitality for example is top bracket only with no cheaper offerings

Caleycalum assures me it was Carragher.

Because they wouldn't be allowed to sing such ditties at home?

Truth...I don't think he ever got a proper chance with us? Look at Oakley too. Sometimes down to a system
