It’s pie in the sky to think we could get an average attendance of 5,000 fans, given the decline of both the club and the area since the early 1980s. 20 years ago, we had an average attendance of under 3,000. I doubt we will be able to achieve that anytime soon.
I think one of the factors is due to Inverclyde being a deprived area. We used to offer concessions for people who are unemployed, or on disability allowance. The way I see it, the more people we encourage - the more money in the club’s pocket.
The last time we won three league games on-the-trot, was the last three games of the 2018-19 season. (0-2 v Falkirk, 0-1 v Dunfermline and 1-0 v Dundee Utd)
I generally don't care what ex-players are up to. I wish them no malice or ill-will, but couldn't really give a toss what they do once they've left us.
Nicolson’s can fuck off. Last time I was in there, the toilets were like a coke den and the place was full of jumped-up fannies. Nice beer garden though.
At the risk of outing myself as a "Peroni wanker", the old Old Bank Bar is charging a fiver a pint. Needless to say I sought refuge in the nearest Tennent's watering hole, while licking my wounds.
So that's what the Burns Lounge looks like inside.
I can't mind the last time I was in The Willow, although I doubt punters will be beating down the door to pay £4.60 for a pint.
