I have to say I was surprised to find out there was a free SFL magazine - it's not very well publicised, is it? However, surely Irn Bru and the SFL should not only be publicising it better, they should be distributing it at all SFL grounds and in pubs, local shops etc in all towns where there is an SFL club - why should it always be down to the fans? Having said that, I'd have no problem about standing about the stadium car park pre-match and dishing them out, if there were copies of it available to do that, and I'm sure others would do the same.

As for those ubiquitous directional signs, I believe you have to have permission from the council to put them up (and there is a charge for it). Chris, as I work for NLC (please send money, not sympathy cards!), albeit in a different area, I'll make a few enquiries about them and get back to you on that front.

The club was a major self-contained publicity machine in the early years, there were some weeks when you couldn't pick up a paper without seeing Jim talking about some aspect of it. This has pretty much tailed off over the years and I reckon this is because there is something of a Catch 22 situation in place. Now, the fans don't reckon the club are doing enough to get us on the map, either publicity-wise or through the product on the park. The directors, for their part, reckon the fans are not being supportive enough and are even being downright disloyal at times. Each side is causing even more negativity from the other and, as far as I can see, the only way this will stop and the club can move forward positively is if all the collective egos are set aside and everyone sees that having a football club in Airdrie is the only thing we all want.

Any chance we can set all differences aside and get things together for the good of Airdrie FC (whether that be United OR Onians – eh, Kali B???)?

It doesn't help trying to entice people to NB when unbelievably Celtic have a big effin billboard advertising family season tickets outside the NB stadium car park on Petersburn Road.Demolition Crew Required?Any volunteers?

We need less negativity on all sides Clan Chief!! Maybe JB should be encouraging Celtic to incorporate something about Airdrie onto their "effin billboard" - should be a proviso in them having their U-21's or whoever play at the stadium! They are only there by the good grace of Airdrie Utd, after all (although we all know the finances involved outweigh the "good grace" by a long margin).

POSITIVITY - NOT NEGATIVITY!! The NEW (unofficial) Airdrie watchword - never mind "onwards & upwards".

Not being negative just commenting that I can't believe Celtic are advertising their season tickets right outside our ground.

LOLOL. No differences on my part, I'm a Diamond i'm on your side.
Airdrieonians We'll support you ever more.
