kfc_superteam Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Obviously its been well documented that we don't get big crowds for home games for various reasons. With the likelihood we will be involved in a winner takes all relegation decider again like Falkirk a few years ago, do we expect that fans will return to the game to support the team for this game. We got 10,000 at the Falkirk game, 16,000 for the cup final. Is this likely or have we lost even these fans that turn up for the really big games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 If there's a big decider or a playoff the support will come out for it. If it's a playoff we'll fill whatever away end were allocated and get 10,000 plus at home unless the result doesn't matter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I want bigger crowds and our survival in the league... but once again it'll be the supporters who bail out MJ with their attendance. I want this man hung drawn and quartered and his body parts displayed at the four corners of Rugby Park!! Okay a little carried away there, but I want him held accountable for Kenny leaving and all proceedings following that. Let's turn out in numbers but let's start the protests again!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaeljayspal Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Get use to the current situation as there is more chance of the support loving MJ than there is of any form of supporters revolt having the desired outcome. Unless someone has 2 million pounds to give him this is it, get use to it. Edited March 20, 2016 by Michaeljayspal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiehippo Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Big crowds like that are a thing of the past, MJ/BB have killed and continue to kill the club. Having said that I'm sure there will be a superb turn out at Firhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiehippo Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Don't disagree mate but the fans ain't the problem, I'm sure the fans will support the team through to the final whistle in the last game of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Big, important games" just isn't going to work the "Get out of jail free" magic it once did for MJ. People have just lost interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Let's just all work together to get the team over the line, then concentrate on next season. The team on Saturday has given me a bit more confidence, even in a play off situation . PAPER ROSES 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I can't understand your comment I agree the players put in a really good shift on Saturday and Football can be unbelievably cruel at times. After 50 years of watching KFC I know that very well. Sadly I believe the apathy has become so deep rooted now it's going to take more than a couple of decent performances to get people's attention. Clark Coming onto the park to acknowledge the fans at the end was a good sign and shows he is prepared to try and reach out to people who have been taken for granted for way too long. Faubert looks like he could turn out to be a decent investment. Still there is a fundamental problem in that we don't have anybody who can put the ball in the net. The way the Ceptic defence played the last 20 minutes on Saturday they really did not deserve to be at 0-0 when they scored. If we had had the right ability level up front the game should have been over in our favour by 90 minutes. Unlike many on here I don't believe Boydie is the answer. He has got the instinct but the sharpness has gone and based on his fitness is woeful. Mageniss is not a goal scorer and as for Tope, if he is the answer, it's the wrong question. Really I hope Clark has got a plan because I really cant see an answer here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he does seem more willing to engage with the support and yes he is a lot more articulate than either Gary or AJ were, but.... 1 point from a possible 15. 1 goal after 450 minutes of football. I know you are going to tell me the team looks more organised but to the stay away fans what clear difference is there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last minute goal against Celtic encapsulates our season in a microcosm; a midfield gone missing and defenders standing-off to give Rogic all the time in the world to line up his shot and pick his spot. Ok it took a great strike to beat us, but it was the result of our same old failings There's been no "new manager bounce", we don't look any sharper, we aren't any more organised, there's certainly no more effort than when McCulloch was in charge. While motivational posters in the dressing room might work in the long term, we need points now, if we're going to stay up. This team don't look capable of getting them. While it's admirable you've retained your enthusiasm, and want to give Clark a chance; as a customer rather than a supporter, I find it all a bit "emperors new clothesy". I've heard and seen it all before; "it's a new dawn, things will be done differently, we just need the fans to get behind us", Jim Mann was saying exactly the same things a few short months ago. You could probably find Locke or AJ saying the same if you could be bothered looking. Nothing's changed, take off the blue tinted specs and you'll see we're still standing here butt naked, our arse available to anyone looking to bend us over to give us a pumping. We are a shambles from top to bottom, but I'm not blaming manager for that. When Clark got the job, I put forward the opinion, it didn't really matter who got the job, the players weren't good enough. Much of the blame for that can be laid at the feet of our two previous managers, but there's also an air of general malaise lingering about the club. We've stood still too long and stagnated. There's not enough new killie blood coming thorough, either in the team or in the stands. We lack heroes, people you'd pay good money to see or wish to emulate if you were a kid coming through. Anyone with the clubs best interests at heart have been purged. The integrity binned as we chased the easy money. There's no link with town. There's no engagement with fans. We're still seen as the enemy rather than the lifeblood. I've used the term turnstile fodder before, because sadly that's how we're seen. Everything about the place is just so dispiriting that I can't envisage me ever becoming a regular again, unless there's meaningful change. Looking at our crowds, I don't think I'm the only one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Where did I say I don't go to any games? That aside I'm basing my opinion on results. Lee Clark took over on the 15th of Febuary, how many points have we taken since then? I make it one from a possible 15. Dead cats bounce higher than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
