"Hard to tell" but here's a take anyway. Gold.15 points

I think we have all got lost in the content of the last 29 pages. I seem to remember John Kiltie stated at the beginning of last season we had 2,700 season ticket holders. Given we are recently presented with a figure of approx. 3,500 for the full year including half season tickets I conclude to each 4,000 would be a fantastic achievement. As the juggernaut moved into 6th gear approximately 800 people bought a half season ticket, if the figures are accurate. Not only that but they have renewed for the season along with the 2,700 and we are still on course for 4,000. Therefore should we achieve 4,000 it would be a 1,300 increase on last year at the same time. If we cannot see this as progress then we are fooling ourselves.13 points

What a forum. We know hee-haw about this guy, then give it a couple of days, the unearthing of an old article and an observation of a one hour training session and we have an extensive psychological and physical profile. Naturally, there are, even at this point, conclusions of 'he'll no dae'. Hopefully we're wrong and this slow midfielder pal of AD can use his decent range of passing to improve the team and not continue to blame everyone but himself if things go wrong.11 points

Exactly, and it's depressing to read people describing TiK as "a bit cliquey" and a club for uber-fans. £300 pa is a lot to pay for the virtually non-existent personal benefits which subscribers derive. If people seem "righteous" about the cause it's only in an effort to generate more revenue for the club. If you've followed this club for longer than the current top-flight tenure, you will know how low it can sink when times get bad. Nobody wants to know when fortunes change, so it's in everyone's interests to make the club as financially strong as possible to protect what we have.9 points

Is it not likely that a sizeable number will still pay at the gate to allow for work, hobby and other occasional match-day commitments? If we do indeed manage to sell 4,000, that is almost 50% up on the 2,700 that was reported a year or two back, and I would expect to see around 1,000 still preferring to pay as they go. A home crowd of around 5,000 will be a 66% increase on this time last season and highly credible, in my opinion. Continued success on the park will then bring continued growth.6 points

He's made a great effort in moaning at the wrong people, complaining to largely season ticket holders about not buying season tickets.6 points

To get 4,000 season ticket holders would be no mean feat. Yes, 64/64 had crowds of over 30,000 for Rangers, 19,000 for Celtic, and 18,000 for Hearts, but as I posted earlier six home attendances less than 6,000. That was at a time when the pubs shut in the afternoon, 99% of league fixtures kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday, there were maybe six live games shown per season, no internet, no X-box or PlayStation, and Kilmarnock was full of successful companies that provided full employment. In comparison, today two of the Ayrshire council areas are among the worst in Scotland for deprivation and unemployment.5 points

I bought a new season ticket yesterday. Had one years ago but gave it up for financial and work reasons but Iv been missing the buzz and after coming along on Saturday decided to just get one.5 points

Ayrshire public ? Harsh, probably about 30-40% of our support don't live in Kilmarnock and it's environs and have to travel to home matches. You act if this is something new, when we won the league there were six home attendances less than six thousand and that was with a team and manager that we will probably never better. Trolling for the sake of trolling serves no purpose.5 points

Ian McCall is a Personal Trainer? Away tae feck imagine him training you to tone up! Have you seen the size of him he’s like a harpooned beached whale the cant!4 points

Position at the start of the season should be compared with last seasons 2800 and not include the half seasons sold in December/January. Its only confusing the position and causing unnecessary irritation on this forum. We may sell the same amount of half seasons this year but as of August we are well ahead of same time last year.4 points

I don't think anyone is suggesting that season tickets are more important than anything else, but it's wilful blindness to suggest that the lack of reaction to such an unbelievable upturn in the club's recent fortunes is anything other than totally dispiriting. So long as we don't get more income into the club, any sustained period of success is not going to be possible. That's not pessimism, or naysaying, or underrating the fact that we won a league cup 6 years ago - there is no other way to do it. I'm not really sure why you're arguing the opposite tbh.4 points

I think we have missed a trick not going after Matt Kennedy. In fact I think we have missed many tricks waiting for Mulumbu or some other magical signing. I get waiting until nearer the end of the window for (that) signing but the league starts Saturday and we are not ready .3 points

To be fair, last week you confidently said that. You also said Dumbarton would be his last game. You also mentioned the fee he was going for. Forgive me for not taking your post as gospel.3 points

Surprised you’ve heard the gaming idea before but apologies if you come from a gaming background and are ahead of the curve. In terms of the other point, you seem to agree that a team that keeps winning week in week out would generate bigger crowds. I agree that this is not sustainable for Kilmarnock, hence looking at different ways to gain traction. At the end of the day i don’t share your fixation with season tickets or even average crowds. I don’t care if the people of Kilmarnock and the surrounding areas have a lesser appetite than others, if, as you imply, it can’t be changed. Accept and move on. You seem to have gained a reputation on this forum for constant references to poor crowds. Whatever gets you up in the morning I guess. Ill be there on Saturday and the Saturday after that and on and on.....and I’m sure three will be plenty others by my side. I’d rather win with 3000 at the game than lose with 10000. The crowds will be what they will be.3 points

Might just depend on how Sevco start the season and if their start gives them any momentum going into this game. If they beat Aberdeen at Pittodrie next week then the media will be instantly declaring them guaranteed league champions and future treble treble and Champions league winners because Stevie G is a "winner" and the Scottish media will be saying they told you this from the start. Lose the Aberdeen game and he'll be a manager with no full time experience at this level who doesn't know the Scottish game and only a manager with expereience in the Scottish game will be able to stop another Celtic whitewash and the Scottish media will be saying they told you this from the start. Either way....I think we'll beat them.3 points

Now that we are getting heavier numbers following us away, it’s great to see the increase in young fans, being a bit naughty, winding up other fans, here’s to 2018/19 and increased numbers of Super Killie Away2 points

Of course our club was a shambles back then. Calderwood was a complete joke of a manager and MJ a bell end. Neither of them got on with one another. Kyle also hated MJ much like most of the players did. Club was a complete basket case and we would have been down the pan had we gone down. Be thankful for the gift that is Sir Steve and the fact the club is being run a million times better than it was under the leech.2 points

Why Thank you I hope you have an awesome season. I've alway been made to feel really welcome which on some boards can be a little dicey If i'm ever up there I would certainly love to catch a game. Shame we haven't had any Friendlies in Scotland for a while2 points

I thought the SPFL had a mass conspirCy against the currant buns so surely our game will be live on BT Sport on the Friday night 24 hours after their Europa League match. OFGTF2 points

Was posted in jest after the reaction to my post on Celtic date change the other day. Nice see a more sympathetic response from fellow supporters this time. Also great to see the fixture change announced less than 24 hours after the draw was made.1 point

Kind of love that he was able to get more than double what he was looking for from Rangers. Brutally honest that he wasn't worth the amount as well. Didn't cover himself in glory when he was at us, could argue he done more bad behind the scenes than good.1 point

Gate money will be split, after expenses. Last season, a televised match was worth £12,000 per club in the group stage, £21,500 after that, except the final which was £32k each.1 point

Perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we had an average crowd of around 7,000 when we won the league in 1965. Crowds were generally a lot bigger then so 5,000 average every week would be fair IMO.1 point

What a load of baloney. McDonald was almost ever present under JJ and only lost his place in the team when he refused to sign a new contract.1 point

Went down to pick up my ST and shop couldn't do it, they said ticket office was open. It wasn't, shutters were down. Wasn't a stall that i could see and had a peek in park hotel and couldn't see there either. Club wants us to buy tickets but making it so difficult to do so. the club are seemingly missing a big opportunity here, thousands of folk down at the ground. Was expecting signs and the occasional announcement asking folk to buy. Maybe i just missed it?1 point

On this webpage you get a badge showing that you are a member of The Trust, maybe we should have a badge showing that you are a ST holder, just a thought1 point

No we shouldn't. We should offer what we can afford, and if he's able to get more elsewhere then credit to him. It would be far too much of a risk to spend "two decent wages" on one player, no matter how good he may be.1 point

Gus McPherson taking over in goals at Rugby Park after Lekovic was sent off for a handball against Raith Rovers. We beat them 5-1, and Gus made a couple of outstanding saves. Must've been around mid-90's !?1 point
