WWWWnnnnnn! Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 The buzz was already there when Burns signed but that topped it off. I remember I was sitting in the car with my dad waiting on my mum coming out her work, behind John Menzies, when west sound announced it. My auld dad had to get out the car and wander about he was so hyped up. A massive coup for us closely followed by Stark and many other players we thought were out our league. Great times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think about that but thought copy and paste was easier ha. Technically Queens park should be below us as a league win should supersede a cup win.

Rangers did die but unfortunately before they died they were Scotland's most successful club, so IMO stay top but with a wee * next to it and then at the bottom another wee * with an explanation of how Rangers were liquidated in 2012 and replaced by a new club Sevco Scotland 5088 AKA The Rangers FC. Which to put us back on topic would place us 6th as I agree with you Queen's Park point plus the fact they haven't graced the top league in 59 years (according to wikipedia) and we are on a 25 year top league run with 2 cups thrown in for good measure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 There was no league competition when QP were in their pomp so it's a tad unfair to penalise them on account of having no league championships. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be an asterisk next to their league number, regardless of the died/not died bobbins. 1st league title was 'shared' with Dumbarton. However, I believe i'm right in saying that if any of the modern ways to determine league winners was in place, Dumbarton would have won on their own. Goal difference, goal average, goals scored, goals against, results against each other, 'away goals' in the play off match (ok, ok, so it was on neutral ground and finished 2-2) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we won the 1897/98 final would you say that Killie shouldn't count it as it was in the 1800's? Also, I don't think we are in any position to take teams cup wins with a pinch of salt seeing as our first 2 (of a total of 3) SC wins were ~100 years and ~90 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say a club that won all their titles when half the professional clubs in this country hadn't even been formed, were as successful as a club who's won them in the 20s, 60s, 90s and 2010s, no. At least when we won them in the 1920s, the league wasn't made up of teams like Vale of Leven, Renton and Cambuslang. So aye, I'd say if we'd won one in the 1800s it wouldn't be as bit a deal of winning one when there was a proper structure in place. Christ, Celtic were formed in 1888 and got to the final that year! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was disappointed when Ross County nabbed Coyle as I thought his enthusiasm would be just the thing to give us a lift, but Clarke is a different league again, local & family connection and has Mourinho on his speed dial - unbelievable!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-mid July seasys are £149/£49 this season for an adult/child (£199/£59 in previous seasons) then after that period go to the normal price of £299/£99. I would put my last pound on the club not losing money through this initiative as yes, they would lose half their current income, but they would at least double pre season ticket sales. Heck, even I would buy 2 (one for me; one for the auld man) even though I 'd only make 5/6 games a season. For the last 3 seasons now Bradford have had adult season tickets <£200 and have had average crowds of 18k a game. I'm not saying Killie would pack out RP but bahgahd if seasys were £149/49 we would need to open the Moffat stand again(imo). Steve Clarke signing on as gaffer is great for the club and I've not been this excited since the King Kenny days (was born during the TB era) but fitbaw without fans is nothing and it now surely has to be time to make football affordable for Killie fans and get RP less morguish and more rocking. Just a thought... no better time to start than maybe a £150 season ticket offer for our 150th anniversary next season, even if it is just a trial at least? Great if it worked. I doubt we would sell double. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the buzz around Steve Clarke is great for the club. It's time to capitalize, and make fans feel as if it's their club again. I was alway skeptical of the "We'll no be back til MJ's gone" crowd no coming back to RP on the reg. But surely Killie fans aren't THAT apathetic to turn down the value of £7.90 a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 We might not sell double, but we'd likely sell many more than we do.

Sp3ckyh0td0g81 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 My A*r supporting boss has done nothing but fire abuse in my direction all season, walked in this morning and his words were "Steve Clarke ..How the f*** did yous manage that?" "I hate you lot but that's an unbelievable bit of business" i agree, he will have a presence that we haven't had in years, players know who he is where he has been the names he has worked with and the quality of players he has managed, there will be an instant level of respect from all the players, havent felt any pride in a managerial appointment at the club in years, aye I've been optimistic, excited, but I think when you are talking to any other fan of another club you feel a bit of pride that we have managed to get someone of Clarkes experience and quality 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
