Hi everyone, hopefully you all managed to enjoy the slightly longer summer break and you’re all ready to get back on the terraces as we do it all again.
Everyone at the club was disappointed to just miss out on the final day, but I’m sure you can agree we gave it everything in our first season at tier five to take it right down to the wire!
As ever for Moff, the backroom team and the board, the summer ‘break’ can be just as, if not more hectic than the regular season as we get everything in place for the upcoming campaign. The boys, complete with new recruits, are already back in hard at it, and we’ve got plenty to look forward to, including our inclusion in the revamped KDM Evolution Trophy (Challenge Cup).
Our season tickets for 2026/27 are now on sale, and you will notice a small rise in these and admission prices (£13 and £8), but we wanted to be up front and explain our rationale for this.
When it came to setting season ticket pricing, we’ve had to balance a number of things: significant outlay for our Scottish FA bronze licence, increasing costs for the day to day running of the club and continued investment in the first team – all while trying to appreciate the economic pressures felt by supporters.
For some context, the bronze licence award was not solely reliant upon a replacement pitch or seated stand. Most significantly, we now require to have a safety officer and club doctor in place on match days, both of which are paid roles and we will soon introduce you to some new faces.
On the pitch, we are committed to keeping the squad competitive as possible to maintain our upward trajectory. This summer we have been significantly boosted by several players showing their loyalty by signing long term contracts as well as securing the services of Josh Jack, Blair Rossiter and Aidan Callaghan who all promise to be exciting captures.
We know rises in costs aren’t ideal, but as a board of a fan owned club it is also our responsibility to do what we can to make sure the club is on the best foot possible which we hope supporters can appreciate.
As ever, the club remains open to commercial ideas and sponsorship that continue to help us grow and move in the direction we all want. So, if you or someone you know has a business who you think could partner with us, drop us a shout to [email protected]
We also realise that not everyone will be in a position to bear the cost of a season ticket upfront, which is why we are committed to retaining our payment plan option for those who require it.
We hope as many season ticket holders as possible will renew for what promises to be another exciting season, with old rivalries reignited and new adventures ahead.
Proud to be a Bankie
Grace
