There must have been financial reasons for getting rid of it? Although, given some of the things that have happened in the past, thats not to say the Club/Well Society wouldnt be interested in taking it back on, maybe as a Community Hub? The Cub actually built it and then forced a sale to the Fir Park Club (evicting them from their premses under the main stand), as it had become a "white elephant" and the club were struggling to meet the financial obligations attached to the building. It was originally built as a training gym and had squash courts - rented out to the general public. There was also some ambitious plans to build an overhead covered walkway between it and the stadium. All pie in the sky sadly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Encouraging to see a healthy crowd of 5,547 at yesterday's game. It may not have been as much as some expected but I felt anything over 5,000 would be absolutely fine. Its put into context by crowds at Kilmarnock, Tannadice and Almondvale. Certainly not many travelling fans from Dingwall to swell numbers. Cup crowds do tend to be lower and £10/15 is quite a lot for some folk to fork out in January. Last year's attendance at Mcdiarmid Park was about 3,800 by comparison. Its up to the club to capitalise on these increased attendances in terms of hospitality & catering income but thats maybe a longer term project, given the limitations of the Centenary and Cooper Suites. Certainly the closure of Club 100, whilst regrettable, will have helped MFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstone Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Club 100 is just too big. If it was half the size it might be more manageable. I could see it getting knocked down and some houses being built there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty rough business to be in. I read somewhere there were over 1000 pubs closed in the UK last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orinoco Posted 16 minutes ago Report Share Posted 16 minutes ago Tv games have to use VAR apparently. The rest got to choose. With the costs involved its no suprise many opted not to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
