ChampTon Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 1 hour ago, capitanus said: My comments were about the signing of a certain player who shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near the club, so there is no surprise they were excluded. It is immoral that a fan-owned football club wont face up to supporters concerns on the matter, despite being given many opportunities to do so, however here we are. It may not be the biggest talking point amongst supporters now that we've got a new manager and had a few favourable results, but this issue wont go away as long as hes at the club, and for as long as those who sanctioned the transfer are still in the boardroom. Good to see you, once again, lambasting Lithgow in order to protect your own insecurities. At least, that's how your constant, 24/7 ranting about him comes across. Maybe you should speak to a professional about your own, deeply uncomfortable urges? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 47 minutes ago, TheGoon said: Aye, agree on that. I wonder how much Inverclyde’s socio-economic state factors in here as well. We’ll face many of the same challenges as other clubs, but probably always slightly worse. Very probably. Having had longer to think about it, I'd say that, while looking for a younger and more diverse fanbase is a good idea and definitely worth doing, this can't be done at the expense of the core punters, who are older men. There's no reason at all why it would be at their expense: this isn't a zero-sum thing, and reaching out for new fans and making people welcome should, theoretically, benefit everyone. But overall there is a very specific demographic that's shown itself likely to show up and pay in and stand around watching lower-league football, and consequently this should be the primary one appealed to by the club. It's certainly not the case that we've wrung every last tenner out of that group, as there are plenty of lapsed fans in the area, and any come-to-Cappielow outreach needs to keep them top of mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or constant, as you describe? In fact, I don't think that I have mentioned Lithgow on here for a few weeks now. In fact, the heat has died down a bit for Lithgow now that we have a new manager and had a few favourable results, but nonetheless he remains a player who shouldn't be at the club. However I am glad that you think its good to see me, once again, lambasting Lithgow. Thank you very much for your support. 2 1 *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a horrible comment and not something you should be implying about anyone. Perhaps fans like you are who make it possible for sex offenders to captain our club.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Anyone know who the best person to contact is for booking Hospitality since Lesley-Anne left? Trying to book for 3 for the QoS game on 12 February, and sent the request on Wednesday morning to admin@gmfc.net, which was the contact mail given in the advert. Heard hee-haw from the club since. Is there another email I can try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bewilderedbeast Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 From what was said on Monday night, there's 2.6 people running the club on a daily basis. Seems that Brendan is doing most of it, although they're trying to get someone in to replace Lesley Ann. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post vikingTON Posted February 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2022 While GMFC are now providing a weekly update, am I missing MCT's regular source of communication to its members recently? Or are they once again conveniently considered interchangeable? As well as things are currently going on the park, I'd still like to know what other ideas MCT have for putting subscriptions to good use. Surely there are opportunities for capital investment, that will make the club's infrastructure better suited for Sir Douglas' ambitions in the medium-long term? If not, then why would he stick around? A 50-50 split between investment in the playing squad and capital projects that will grow the club in the long term is entirely reasonable. That's MCT's fundamental role IMO - and they will not get a better opportunity to get Morton fans on board than right now. It's time to form a pitch and get plugging it again. 3 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away.

Like you it would be nice to know more about the broad brush priorities That's fair enough, but they can still take advantage of the current mood to pitch ideas and get another 50/100 to sign up before then. This is the most united the Morton fanbase will likely be - MCT's job is to make hay while the sun of Sir Douglas is shining and get everyone on board with their purpose as well. It's an enormous, unexpected gift, yet I'm not being bombarded with the material to exploit it even as a signed-up member. MCT have done very well to get above 900 subscribers, but now is the obvious time to make an extra push. 3 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club.

Popular Post Madton Posted February 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2022 Yeah I've said it a few times before, they talk about wanting to increase numbers but don't really see them doing much about it. For me the obviously thing to do is get bodies on Sinclair St on a Sat, handing out flyers and answering concerns, best and quickest way to speak to the doubters. Show them how their money will potentially make a difference. Over 1500 home fans there today, take advantage of that. Jump on the feel good factor, ask the question of current members, can you pay an extra fiver a month?Might get 2-300 existing members willing to pay a fiver more which adds 1k-1.5k/ month to the existing budget. That might allow Dougie to give some key players an extra few quid in order to sign a new deal. As long as its worded in a way that suggests we've not got the begging bowl out, I don't think anyone would mind the approach. I'd bet at least some would increase on the back of it, especially right now. We should absolutely set a public target of 1000 members and push it down everyone's throats until we get it. We are just not doing enough or if we are, t's not very obvious. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 MCT sent out a well-written update to members showing that Dougie Imrie and Neil Warnock have both signed up. Apparently it got decent uptake on social media as well. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post port-ton Posted April 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2022 Both MCT but especially the club board have stepped up their game massively this year. For the first time in a long time I feel I support a club heading in the right direction. There were some real unacceptable growing pains in the early months but I'm more than happy to praise the volunteer board members involved as I was more than happy to criticise them earlier in the season. Chris Ross since becoming CEO seems to be growing in to the role as well and long may it continue. 3 Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

TRVMP Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I agree completely. It's not 100% perfect but I wouldn't trade our custodians with those of most of the division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaunTon Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 It's still early days but I sense that people have thought about some of the earlier failures and tried hard to avoid repetition. Hopefully seeing that fans are reacting positively to what they are seeing will encourage more confidence to start addressing some of the fundamental issues. Great to see Dougie and Neil sign up and although you'll never please everybody I'm very pleased with the current direction of travel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
