Charlies PaPa Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Great news that Phyllis McLeish is to invest a substantial amount, and that the club statement says that they will be restructuring the Commercial and administration side of the business to ensure they can provide additional funds to support SC and improve the communications with the fans both existing and potential by improving existing contacts in the community. Another sign of a club ensuring they can build on the SC effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 It is sort of incredible to see this considering we were in the wilderness for so long. It is a miracle that we didn't get relegated during the MJ era, but good thing we didn't 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Good news. Seems bizarre we don’t actually have some of the things mentioned already but good to see us making moves Out of interest what is the most we know of someone investing in the club? Coupled with her summer investment and the money QTS have put in Phyllis McLeish must be pretty high up the list Edited September 26, 2018 by piffer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say its great to see what is now happening, who would have believed this 18 months ago? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclean07 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Any chance we could start to play our part too. Stay away fans may be hard to get back, but more than 5% of our core support could maybe spare a tenner a month of TiK. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I want us to build on the good news and play our part. I'm delighted when people invest. We should be ashamed of our response to the hard work that the trust have put in.

We are all banging on about getting more people involved in TiK but, because it's Mclean, he gets hounded for it?! It might not have been positive language, but the sentiment is there. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're retired, why don't you volunteer to go round pubs in the country drumming up support on your days off? Or help the guys in TIK with their marketing, handing out leaflets etc? Anything but posting the same s**te time and time again. Do something positive. Engage with fans, find out why they aren't in TIK. You are preaching to the converted in many ways on here. You won't find a bigger % of TIK contributors than on this website. And, for the record, I can remember when Fifty for the Future was on the go, back when some folk still thought MJ was the saviour (not pointing any fingers) and he wanted to get rid of the full youth set up. Can't seem to remember you deriding the fact only a couple of hundred of us bothered to chip into that back then? Back when we really were in the s**t and the club was 1) about to lose it's entire youth system until the fans stepped in and 2) in grave danger of going out the game completely. I've still got the FFTF flyers somewhere I'm sure, be interesting to see if your name was on the list of contributors. Surely to god you were? I've mates who contribute to TIK, I've family who do it too. I've also friends and family who don't. That's their choice. For some a couple of hundred quid on top of season tickets money etc each year is just too much. For others they'd rather spend the money supporting the team away from home or in other ways. Some of us do all of the above. It's all about choices but trying to guilt trip folk isn't the way to go about engaging others. Just makes it look like fans suggesting others aren't as good a supporters as them. Everyone's circumstances differ. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point. Others are trying to drum up support for TIK. McLean's way of doing that is slagging folk, snide comments and repeating the same inane smarmy remarks time and time again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but do Killie fans circumstances differ by a multiple of five or six from St Mirren or Motherwell? Never thought MJ was the saviour- so that's made up. Thanks for your retirement counselling. Another one delving into the personal who has no idea what work or interests I have (which are many). Don't think I did FFTF, but I gave over £400 or more to help finance the stadium you sit in.

It actually has...but only because we had to get the mechanism in place before we officially launched it and wanted to bring Phase One to an end with the appointment of our Club Director and the news that the front funder had been paid back in full. It's a soft launch if you will...we are waiting on a few things happening and then we'll go large on it...really hoping that our fans now see that everything we said would happen happened and that TIK is a great thing for the club and is here for the long term. I'm really glad the Club decided to highlight the Trust and our TIK initiative in the statement released today as well as Phyllis' investment. It is very important to get everyone acknowledging that the Club see the merit in this and that they are behind it. The recent additions to the board have apparently really invigorated things and got them going again and we don't need to tell you where the idea to get the new ticketing system in place came from....just look at the thread on here about being appointed Chairman for a day. There's nothing to bicker about here lads, we all want the same things. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren & Motherwell were & still are in a completely different situation.Fair do's to the TIK subscibers but what we really need to do is concentrate on getting more fans in the stadium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
