Lasley has been afforded the John Kennedy status (the longer he was out the team the better he became)

Get Jennings into the team to replace Las (I know he is a gay icon for some on here) but Jennings looks by far the better and more composed player

Football clubs should look upon us as customers and should treat us as customers, there is however no need to use the term customers. What next call the players 'football technique operatives'

Joe, If Leeann is finally getting things rolling properly then fair play to her, finally someone at FP knows the value of follow up data,hopefully if her ideas are as good as you hint the board should back and we will see the improvements gradually coming on stream. Just one thing Joe, we are supporters not freakin customers

This is the key point in the whole debate, the club have been throwing tickets at school kids with no apparent feedback of who attended and who didn't, and if anyone came back thereafter. As far as I'm concerned those that follow the OF can be written off as a lost cause, very few would be persuaded to leave the bigot heaven to come to FP, and I'm not so sure I would welcome them anyway. Other clubs are in the same position as us with crowds falling, we should be getting round the table with them and discussing the problems and looking to find solutions that would benefit us all.

Joe the club have fannied about for years with this problem, it's alright spouting demographically selected this and that like in the past, but with no way of proving if this idea or that idea is working then they would be as well throwing the free tickets down the shitter, our attendances have been falling steadily before the recession hit, what was done before that, virtually nothing. If we want to increase and retain a larger attendance then they need to get serious about it fast, it seems that those in the know can walk the walk, but few seem able to talk the talk. The debate about dropping prices can work, if we say there are 1000 pay at the gates every week and on average it costs £20 to attend a match, you drop that to £15 and get another 350 through the gates your making money. But to gain any advantage in doing this you need to follow such an initiative with hard data, which is what the club fail to do. Like I say they need to stop faffing about and take this issue seriously

Motherwell have buried there heads in the sand for years on this issue, regime changes bring promises of change, then when it becomes difficult they give up. It seems the best they could come up with of late was throwing free tickets at schools, with no thought of any serious follow up to see if anything changed. Someone at MFC wants their arse kicking for letting it get to this stage

While I agree that the price is a large part of the decreasing attendances, there are other reasons for it also, and these in tandem with the price issue need looking at closely. There needs to be a properly structured strategy to approach the subject and not like in the past, one person left to get on with it.

This has been discussed before it even got to the stage of asking for ideas of how to go about it, sadly as like a lot of things a while back nothing happened, and nothing will happen until this type of thing is taken very seriously. For the life of me I can't understand why the MST and supporters Asscs have not made this a priority. I truly hope if this thing Leanne is suggesting gets off the ground, it is populated by new faces and does not follow the tried and tested method of pulling in all the old faces, with the same tired ideas.

Your opening a can of worms there mate

Glad you liked it.

I see the MST have their cheerleaders on parade, can you or Joe point me to the bit of the post I wrote about Freebies, corporate hospitality or in it for themselves etc etc, so much paranoia in this thread I thought I had strayed onto a cellic board.

Sorry Joe, I never got beyond the first paragraph, absolutely typical response to anyone who dares criticise. Enjoy yir butties.

Well I should bloody well think that they should get the information out to us, considering we are the paying customer. The fella Joe from the MST posts it snippet of a conversation with Ms Dempster on here, surely his first port of call should have been to update the MST site, before coming on here, secondly Flow posts a link to the Offal site statement regarding the postponement, if it's on here they should at least have the courtesy to post a link to all the MFC websites, not just their personal favourites. Another good reason I have never, nor ever will be a member of the Trust

Why has Ms Dempster felt the need to call and brief you, I take it the call was due to your position on the MST board, surely she can post on here a full explanation of the circumstances, rather than feeding it through the MST. I do hope that this is not to become the norm from the club.

Boyle should deffo look at interviewing one of the many blowhards from the centre of the East stand, I have to suffer listening to them every other week, and they always can see the Gaffers mistakes and are great at coaching from the sidelines. Problem solved John.

Whoever he is he better know how to coach the players to punt it up the park everytime we have possession, and none of this fancy dan passing football. At least that will shut up all the moanin fannies in the east stand. Perfect choice Joe Kinnear

I think Blakey is onto something here, so today to ease his worrying about the management and players, I have been to see T McLean invited him back as manager H Kampmann as his assistant Lined up some experience for the visit of St Johnstone, the line up next week will be McCrae Rab McKinnon Brian Martin John Philiben Joe Wark Billy Campbell Bobby Graham Paul lambert John gaghan Dougie Arnott Wullie P

Now there goes a man that speaks some sense.

The first paragraph is just a sarcastic ramble, if these people want to be taken seriously, then perhaps they should act like journalists, and they will be treated like journalists.

Just saw Big Mowbray on SSN telling the hacks to play it straight, he tries to be open and honest with the press, but they take what he says and turns it on it's head. Thats now Gannon, Mowbray and Levein all saying the same thing, Strachan said as much when he was here as well.

His opinion in this debate is about as worthy as that of Hugh Keevins about football. Nuff Said.

Give up with this guy NethertonWF, this is one mixed up fella. No balls for the real thing, plenty of rabbit about what others do, but in his own time he is an armchair warrior. Bang Bang

Superb,we have one hypocrite who gets ripped into fans of another club for basically holding the same views as he does, The other is anti war blah blah blah, but plays war games on his computer, 'Call of Duty' anyone, you could not make it up. How does it go Chris, left right left right..................Hilarious.

Have you any idea of what money a soldier earns, your in studentland if you think anyone would join the Army for the money, I'm curious why you felt the need to get ripped into the Mhanks for disrupting a minutes silence, when you hold such views about the forces.
