SanguinePar Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 https://fcedinburgh.com/news/club-statement-26-10-22/ Quite an interesting statement from our nearest league rivals, hoping to allow fans closer to the pitch, reduce sight restrictions and build a new stand opposite the current one. Also interesting to see them acknowledge issues with how they changed their name and how fans were consulted or otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 I think that is reasonably positive from them. They simply had to do something about supporters experience as it was embarrassing and was bound to impact financially if supporters home or away refuse to go.

lambo1885 Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Fair play to them on reducing tickets prices. It can't be easy as their costs will be going up also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 good to see prices being reduced to something more reasonable. Our club need to take a look at ours £20 for League 1 or the championship is a total rip off imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosythpar Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hopefully we aren't standing on the grass when we play them in January because that will be a nightmare. I am sure Maybury said something on off the ball about Meadowbank only being a temporary stadium for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Riva Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Good to see a club doing what they can to try and meet the wishes of not only their own fans, but those of other clubs too. Quite often, visiting fans are tolerated but not appreciated by the home club, even though their money is just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to be living up to their community club ideals with both clarity and acountability in holding their hands up and seeking resolutions when they got it wrong.

parsforlife Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Opposite opinion from most on here it seems. The community club aspect is bull****, ask any of the large amount of the fans that abounded the club in the summer, unnecessarily changing the club name would go down well nowhere and changing it again, but without conciliation or concern for the clubs history. Can you imagine the reaction of our board though calling us dunfermline city was the right thing to do get and angry reaction and say we’ll ok we’ll just be dunfermline then? They would rightly be told to get ****ed. The medowbank shambles may be marginally improved, but it’s still going to by a mile the worst ground in the spfl and outclassed by just about every non-league ground. They were never forced to play there and choosing to do is deliberately ignoring fans. Aye it might be cheeper next time to get in but £12 to get into a joke ‘stadium’ is still a ripoff. The idea of another stand is fantasy, they have had planning permission but that’s meaningless why you are trying to build something on someone else’s land. Cart before horse. Not that diddy stand miles from the pitch would change much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, I was only referring to the statement itself but if as you say this did happen at the Pars, would it not be a good thing that they realised they'd made a pigs ear of it, said so, met with the fans tro rectify it and came out with a statement saying how they're going to fix it? I get what you're saying but credit where it's due no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
