Malcolm Tucker Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 7 hours ago, Candygram for mongo said: Hard to argue with that. I don't contribute to TiK, not because I wouldn't want to help the club financially because I did give money when they built the stadium by taking a privileged seat in '94. It's because I couldn't give money for some f**k-nugget of a fan to get on the board. I'd be pissed off if I contributed to one of the main tits of NAPM being appointed. Well done for completely missing the point. The fans rep is now happening whether you like it or not so no need to withhold contribution on that basis. Its about generating a continuing income stream for the club and making the board even more accountable to the fans. What a terrible idea, eh? And its down to all those terrible people that actually got on board while others buried their heads in the sand and propped up Michael Johnston. No NAPM, no Billy Bowie. No Stevie Clarke. None of the current success. -7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I don't think NAPM had anything to do with it. People drifted away because they were fed up with the poor football on display and the way the club was being run by MJ. Some stopped going, for example, when Kenny Shiels was very unfairly sacked. Personally I took time away because I was disgusted and at how MJ voted in the Sevco affair and I really did wonder whether I would ever come back. The people who actively participated in NAPM were actually the most passionate about the club and I have no doubt that will all be back attending and will be delighted with how things are now going with the club.

If we do end up with that then at least I'll know I haven't helped put him/her there. Judging by the reaction I'm not alone in thinking this. "No NAPM.....None of the current success." Absolute bollocks! NAPM was as effective as an ashtray on a motorbike. The bile, lies and pure s**te that came from them was a f**kin' disgrace! -7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a scrap of evidence it was in the least responsible for the other stuff. (Laughable). That was just a generous wealthy man bailing an apathetic support out again. At least in Mr Moffat's day we gave him something back. Youre the biggest negativity on there forums. Absolute gimp..Start watching us every week. Feel the love and stop being so bitter. Somebody who is older than you (70s) told me on Saturday that tbe away days this season are best he's ever enjoyed. Go on join us....ask the boss for some pocket money and a day off. If you're too scared I'll ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAPM programme was an utter failure and played no part in MJ leaving. We all know the tragic circumstances that DID bring that about. What NAPM did do was to provide a platform for the uncommitted fan to justify quitting altogether and why we think they would return now escapes me. Scottish football is unhealthy in many respects and attendance figures are pathetic when compared to historic times but we are in no worse a state that most of the provincial clubs. Financially probably stronger than we've been for some time. Killie have been in the top division for 28 seasons now and I think only Celtic ( Motherwell by default ) have a similar record. That is a great achievement for a town of our size and merits support accordingly. It never has been a big support and never will be. Modern life with all its financial, family, technical and social demands has seen to that, so lets stop moaning about those not interested in supporting Killie and share the pleasure of doing so with those of us who stick with it through thick AND thin times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieBus Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Our crowds will be made up of whoever turns up and no amount of bitching will change that. Kilmarnock fan all my days and we have never been the best supported team, even when really successful, despite the fact that we can pull together big crowds for the really big games. To berate people for not going to the football is like berating people for not supporting a local restaurant that doesn't provide good food all the time, concert venues that don't have good/big bands on or cinemas that don't show the current blockbusters. There is no point to this thread. We are who we are. We are where we are. And, at this moment in time - that's a bloody brilliant place to be!

Totally agree as a couple of twisted sisters supporters told me many years ago ' you Killie fans are the worst' and all this in fighting seems to vindicate this. Let's as has been said as supporters start to pull in the same direction as our TEAM on the park are brilliantly doing at present and enjoy the fact that we have a management team who will bring us some more exciting times !
