Smoking area for half time
So we should pay ?250 for the privilege of having a fag at half-time! Do you seriously think this is reasonable? I didn't notice this as one of the benefits of joining. The fact is that the people who congregate at the front door to smoke at half-time are breaking the rules. Many of them are employees of the club, agents and journalists and therefore don't pay anything at all to attend the game. Tend to agree with that, you do see a lot that don't actually pay for the privelage of somebody opening the doors for them having a fag , and it probably goes back to whats wrong with football at the moment in Scotland if you can afford to pay to join a club you can have a fag if not you can't○ Either it is a non smoking stadium or not !!! I'm not saying it's right....I'm just making the point that if people are so desperate to smoke then it looks like there's a means by which they can get around the "rules" and do so. The separate door for the Kingsmills Club which allows people to go smoke is a product of the legislative requirements put in place which allow the Club to exist as opposed to it being a deliberate/intended perk....so it has nothing to do with their being different rules for different people. Yes I know that Don you are not saying it is right but still can't get my head round as to how a stadium can legally allow some people out to smoke outside the club/stadium and not others because they pay an extra ?100 quid, particulary as some of those out smoking are not members of the club such as journalists.

The fact is that the people who congregate at the front door to smoke at half-time are breaking the rules. Many of them are employees of the club, agents and journalists and therefore don't pay anything at all to attend the game. It's currently only ?100 to join the Kingsmills Club (?10 for day membership at C*unty Game)....do I think that's reasonable price to pay to be able to go for a cigarette? If I was that addicted to something that I couldn't last under 2 hours without it, then yeah....I probably would see it as reasonable. While I agree with the rest of your post Don, yes I do think its excessive to pay ?100 on top of what the normal punter pay, this was a club (The Kingsmills) that was originally advertised at ?250 per season before it was reduced would this also be considered as good value for a fag at half time.

The snobs in the Kingsmills Suite get to enjoy that little perk.... Here less of the snob bit I spent a few saturdays in the Kingsmills the season before last for work duties :016: but yes was always a bit surprised how I could nip out for a puff there and not when I was in the normal seats

Booing
Another thread ruined as you have to wade through loads of posts of guys having a personal argument, lads why don't you keep this of the threads the rest of us aren't interested in reading about what you think of each other.

Home and Away
I think its a case of the away teams come here and play more defensively and pack the defence, and at present we don't have the ability or creative players to break them down, away from home the game is more open thus giving our attacking players that bit more space
-
Booing
While I would only ever boo a team if I think they didn't try, it is an entertainment business and if people are not happy with a performance some of them boo. If the players can't put up with a bit of booing when they don't perform perhaps they should find another job

Refreshments kiosks
I also don't buy passing the buck onto the caterers as it has been below par for a while and is the clubs responsibility to make sure all the things like this are up to scratch, however they have recognised there is a problem so will hopefully address it

Booing
Ok but how do you come to the conclusion we are like a fish out of water in 1st Div

Booing
You just have to wait and see on the day (Tuesday night against Stranraer ) Yeah actually maybe v a 3rd divison team but once we come up againist a 1st divison we look look like a fish out of water If a team go 1-0 down againist a team at the moment we would need to go for a draw as there would be no hope in us winning Did we not win last week, so how are we like a fish out of water? Lets be honest we didnt deserve to win and it was looking like a real possibility that we could have lost last weekend and we could have even lost today as well But we didn't we are equal top of the table so how that equates to been like a fish out of water baffles me

I think the fact that the club recognise there is a problem and aplogised is encouraging, I am sure there will be improvments now

You will here lots of stories on what this one gets and that one gets, the only ones that really know who gets what are the club and quite rightly they keep it confidential, would you like everyone to know what you earn
