Spike, you have a sensible head on, - and we need more supporters who realise that we suffer from a limited income.

To further my analogy of the theatre, - we would have no shows at all if it were purely down to bums on seats, - and the sad state of affairs was proved last year when the Dumfries public refused to support a show that was a sell-out right across the UK.

Therefore, our 'shows' - full time Championship football is only possible because of the generosity of our Board of Directors.
