Think it will be a really tough league this year. I expect Ayr to be challenging as well, based on their early season form. I think we have a stronger squad than the ones that we had at the start and end of last season.
-
Happy to help out where I can too.
-
Is it worthwhile the Supporters Council having its own presence on Facebook? You could invite people directly to meetings, etc. Perhaps a periodic newsletter as well?
-
I agree with this 100% @Stanza - I do think it's perhaps testament to how well our Club is run now that many of our number think that we are OK, and are able to take the foot off the gas in terms of the additional support (e.g. over and above attending games) that is required to make the Club sustainable longer-term. Our BoD deserve huge credit for where the Club is now, compared to just a few years ago. The fans have played their part too, by turning out in numbers, buying season tickets, and paying into the Lifeline. Despite that fact that we are still regarded as a 'big' club, the reality is that in some respects we are no different to many of the better run junior clubs, in so much that we are almost entirely reliant on volunteers/goodwill to help out with many key operational aspects. Not everybody wants to be involved in committees and so on, so perhaps there are other ways that we need to get people involved, but it's the same old problem - to get these things organised, you need volunteers to set them up!
-
This is in no way a criticism of you @scottyboy, but i think what you are referring to may be indicative of the mindset of a large section of the fanbase. Whilst season ticket sales are good and other revenue streams allow the Club to function, the reality is that is it down to a very small hardcore of volunteers that the operational needs of the club are being met. Almost all of the non-playing aspects of the Club rely heavily on volunteers, but this tends to the same faces most of the time. In some respects, the volunteering is almost as important as the financial contributions made by so many. Even things like match day buddying, offering to help in the shop, helping with stewarding at doors to Legends/Charlie Ds, stadium maintenance and helping out at the turnstiles go some way to easing the burden of extra costs.
-
The Supporters Council is a vital part of the governance structure of our Club. It is also something that we, as fans, are fortunate to have. I have been to a few of these meetings, although not as many as I'd have liked, but they are vital to the ongoing growth of our Club imo. I'll pin the post to see if folks can offer any other ideas on how to improve the format.
-
Perhaps add a fundraising element to it. Or make it a more socially-focused event?
-
I think there is complacency amongst some fans that the hard work has been done and the club is now secure. Personally, i think for a club of our size there are too many groups, who while they all raise funds for the Club, have their own very different agendas. As such, the very ethos of Pars United is being diluted. We have the Lifeline, Business Club, PST, Marvs Shop, and the various supporters clubs. I think the Disabled Access group is quite different, but the point remains. Perhaps these groups need to collaborate more to make them more sustainable longer term. Personally i think the SC is a fantastic forum - unfortunately i can't get to many meetings. Maybe live broadcasts such as Periscope might help with interaction?
