  1. Reception is ok but their custoemr service is a disgrace. I phoned up to change my plan , somehow ended up with someone elses plan and was about to be sent a twatphone which i didnt want. Took 3 phone calls and about 4 hours to sort out with the idiots and they still havent answered how this happened. Only reason I stick with them is i get £100 credit a year coz my work uses them so it makes it nice and cheap , if I could get the same deal elsewhere I would move but near £10 a month discount means I pay near **** all
  2. Stirling But would rather have a Big Day at Firhill and get everyone to go there instead so we get the cash.
  3. IMO if you post rumours of signings its fine (isnt that what this kind of place is for ?), however if you post about something a player is alleged to have done somewhere then you may have a potential legal issue (any forum can get into that kind of trouble not just this one) TBH if the forum is gonna be run that way then it will die very quickly and no one will use it , there is a huge difference between posting potential signings and some of the other stuff. If you are unable to make that distinction in the rules then why bother having the site in the first place ?
  4. I think its a good thing to removing the "cost" of a CE from the wage bill as it may mean the difference for an extra player to come in to the squad. However with the loss of EP and Antonia before the end of last season where the **** does that leave the office staff now ? Surely we need more than 1 or 2 people plus some directors doing a wee bit to run the place ?
  5. &^%$%£$%^*&% Stop throwing spanners in my good mood for this cup tie
  6. Aye Well Cowdenbeath as well but im counting that as we will go there this season
  7. Genuinely excited about this one , 41st of 42 grounds
  8. IOBITs Advanced System Care will do the job. Doesnt go too deep into the registry and it backs everything up. Used it for years to find the wee bits every uninstall leaves behind. TBH I wouldnt go down the full reinstall unless you are 100% comfortable with what you are doing. While its an easy process you nearly always forget something important on the first few occasions. If you want to do that make a list of what you want to keep , take a couple of days to make sure you have everything backed up to either a different parttion on your HDD or external storage then give it a go :
  9. That will be another ground off the list to visit only 2 left after that
  10. No more than £5 per month. Any more and I wont be buying them. I was asked by someone at the club a while back for ideas on costs and I said £45 a season with £30 for season ticket holders or £3 per game. But it needs to be 15 mins minimum highlights not the 3 mins we get now. Also the chance to do a .pdf of the programme for something like £25 a season should be part of this
  11. Not sure if this is a wise move but defo not the way to announce it. £1 isnt that much of an increase TBH but when you add it with the last increase being fairly recent (cannae remember if it was last year but im 99% sure it was) then whats to stop them doing it again next year ? There is only so much the limited number of fans we have can take before things reach a limit people will not go past. Im not affected by this as I get a season ticket but can see why people will not go if the game means nothing. IMO this is a gamble that we will start the season well and crowds will be up , if we start the way we played the last few months of this season then it will be another long struggle to get people through the gate and at £17 a go (assuming thats the figure) then its not that attractive a proposition. When you add in the cost of highlights (still no idea on the figures) then it could be an expensive season for everyone. If they make is something sensible like £5 a month then thats a decent deal but if its any more then I doubt many will take it up
  12. Try find some cheap space and host a site based on Joomla or if you can afford it ExpressionEngine. Both very easy to learn and infinite options to customise. Both version of the JT site that I did were in Joomla , pity the new guys decided not to continue with it
  13. The best way to retain any youth players is to play the guys who are good enough for the first team more often. Apart from the likelyhood other clubs can throw larger amounts of cash at them you have to look at Hamilton where they have a good recent history of bringing through young players so that then attracts other players into their syttem, It cannot be under estimated how much this cup win can and should do for bringing players into our youth system.
  14. Wish I had gone now Great result for the youths and for the club. Will show to other youngsters thinking about joining in our youth system that we can give them the opportunity to win things. Congrats to everyone involved
  15. Bought Also got some others to buy it as well
  16. What a game of football
  17. Mole at the Dundee POTY night this weekend (which incidentaly was Jim Lauchlan ) says that McMenamin is likely to join us. Taken with a huge pinch of salt but he was right about Harkins days before it was announced even though we both thought it was shit at the time
  18. Hope so , I hate those *******s almost as much as I hate the OF
  19. Brilliant result Followed all their games throughout this campaign and its just amazing what they have done
  20. I was asked a while back to give what I thought would be reasonable costs and what numbers I expected would take the new services up , ive tried for a few days to find the document but I think I deleted it after I had had enough of the JT stuff Roughly it was £45 a year for highlights or £3 a game , with season ticket holders getting them for £30 £25 a year for a .pdf programme , £20 for season ticket holder. This is all profit for the club and I dont think it would affect any match day sales ST holders get them cheaper , but its still additional income for the club but the reduced price should act as an incentive for more people to subscribe (plus its an additional benefit for people to consider when taking out a ST). As for numbers I suggested the club base this on 200 for each and then see if its workable. At that it would prob give about a net £10k a year to the club. DFCTV has around 400 people paying £120 a year for it , we should be aiming to provide something similar to that. There are a ton of other things the club can look at to take advantage of the website , things like Google ads (or something similar) in a wee block on the bottom of each page. Something like that on the text commentary when people are refreshing it all the time could get a decent amount from it. If you take the figures the JT site made it could be as much as $5000 a year from that alone. Where every penny counts at the moment we really need to be taking advantage of these schemes more than we do.
