TONofmemories Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 If anything it highlights how shit we still are at taking these things in house. I'm sure it made some sense to someone but surely it'd have been easier to just let matchwinner deal with everything? TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't figure out why we did when all the other clubs went the other way (with a whole bunch of extra merch available as a result). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume it was to keep some sort of cost down but we're just not cut out for it. Never really have been tbh. TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greacen2000 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Not sure that this is the best place to ask, but I didn't think it was worth starting a new thread for it - I have noticed on the clubs socials over the past week that the clips show the team training at Cappielow. There were quite a few comments made about the state of our pitch after the first couple of games(including from one of our own players). I thought it looked ok at the Ayr game and certainly looks fine in the training clips, but you would think that it will take its toll on the surface if we are going to be training on it longer term. Does anyone know why we are training at Cappielow instead of Parklea, and if this is just a temporary thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed we were just doing some of the sessions at Cappielow when it suited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a clip on twitter or FB or somewhere of Bearne scoring with an overhead kick at the Sinclair Street end during a training session, which suggests they must be training at Cappielow at least some of the time.

IIRC this was back around 2019-2020, and we have definitely returned back to Parklea since then (all the training videos shared last season as well as the one Spoonton mentioned above from last week were there). I suppose we have had a run of 3 weeks with no home games between Ayr & Arbroath so its possible that the groundsman decided the pitch could handle a few training sessions during that time.

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 We stopped using Parklea under Hopkin because the pitch was poor and needed replaced. As soon as it was replaced, we moved back there under MacPherson for the 21/22 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madton Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I'm guessing we save a few quid by splitting it. Renting Parklea for 2 days a week instead of 4 will add up over the course of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcC1874 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Maybe the wrong place to ask but does anyone know if the fan base app for tickets works or is any good? I normally just go to cappielow before the game and get my ticket but this would probably be easier for me and just wondered who has used it and is it worth it.

I bought my tickets for Kelty and the Stranraer game before I got on the train in London on the Saturday morning. Also used it last week to go and see Ebbsfleet's first game back in the National League. "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."

I bought Raith tickets on it, took 5 minutes from installation to having four tickets. I'm a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishopBrennan Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Aye the app is excellent, it takes about 4 clicks of a button to order both matchday tickets and hospitality packages.
