Great Burns night last night, one thing that gets on my nerves is the lack of Livi supporters at these functions, granted there was probably 20-30 livi supporters there, but with no game at home tomorrow, this was the time for Livi supporters to have a good night, and give the club some much needed cash.

It's always been the same, Dov. There's never many actual Livi fans go to functions hosted by the club. I suppose that those who go home and away would say that they're already doing their bit and that for others it's a case of money being tight so they're picking and choosing what club event to back and what event to body swerve. It would be great to have each night packed to the rafters with home fans but in a way I think it's good that the club can attract people who wouldn't ordinarily give Livi FC a second thought to attend events in the Almondvale Suite and the other hospitality areas. I don't know how hard it is for the club to go out and get the attention of these 'other' people but if they're spending their cash at the club then it mibbe takes the pressure of the home fans to do so and mibbe allows more fans to get to a game at Almondvale or maybe the odd away game too? To be honest though, in the past I've been in the Almondvale Suite for a couple of hours before every home game for food and drink and been to several/many club functions over the years and at one point was pretty much sick of the sight of the place as it seemed like I was never out of there. It began to feel like the same old same old. I was also down at a New Year party there one time and it was fine but her indoors wouldn't want to go back again because we've 'done that', if you know what I mean? Anyway, most fans will do what they can and only they will know whether or not they could've done/can do more. Now shut it. Just cos you've goat a sair heed!  |

The auld(ish) boy that recited Tam O' Shanter was excellent!
And a word about the food too - a great four courser overall but that was the best bit of beef, for the main course, I've ever had! I wouldn't normally order a dish like that if in a restaurant but if it could be guaranteed to be of the same quality as that then my usual chicken dish choice would be getting the old heave ho! ;D

To be fair, I didn't make it last night, but I was in hospitality with my work a while back and the menu was very good. |

I quite fancied the Burns bash but was just too tight for dosh what with three away games on the bounce and generally being typically skint near the end of January.
Glad to hear it was a success and folk only have good things to say. I must make a point of getting down for the 2014 Burns doo.
