| 5. Author: PARadise Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 17:56 Hope they pull through it, incredibly significant club in the history of Scottish football. On an unrelated note I wonder how the wee teams finances will be after they appeared to have spent a fortune this season and look to be struggling at the moment to make the play offs Reply |

| 7. Author: Ronaldo Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 19:24 Sorry to hear this. I’ve lots of good memories of Boghead with some decent crowds there, particularly around the time they won promotion in 71/72 season under Jackie Stewart - not the racing driver from nearby Dumbuck. Alex Wright (dealt a very bad hand at EEP) continued the progress Stewart had made when he took over following the promotion. Dumbarton have produced some great players over the years ... John Bourke, Murdo Macleod, Graham Sharp to name but three. Their new gaffe was never going to have the same appeal as ramshackle Boghead but I enjoyed my visits there. I hope, like ICT, they can see this through. Post Edited (Tue 19 Nov 19:26) Reply |
| 8. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 20:20 NMCmassive, Tue 19 Nov 18:01 Weird him being so keen to spend money on a club in that way. Amazing how the number of sold season tickets magically doubled too. Reply |
| 9. Author: parsmad68 Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 20:39 A long history behind the club. Remember a young Jackie McNamara being well coached by Norrie in a game a long time ago. The journey to Boghead was sometimes interesting. First time I went, we asked a Bobby directing traffic where the ground was. He had no idea either!!!ended up going through gardens to get there.

| 10. Author: Alter Ego Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 20:57 My first away game was at Boghead and they as us young pars to be ball boys for the game..A young 9 year old and I was besotted with football after that! Mon the Pars! Reply |
| 11. Author: JTH123 Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 21:48 I remember going to a Dumbarton v Hearts Premier League game at Boghead back in the Pitbauchlie bus days, after our game at Love St or Cappielow was a late call off. Reply |
| 12. Author: NMCmassive Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 22:11 jake89, Tue 19 Nov 20:20 Honestly I don’t know about it either. Could he just be a local guy with a bit of cash that willing to put that much money into a football club… possibly! Converters group is a big company but I don’t think it’s any bigger than KDM/SRJ… certainly not bigger than the Purvis group in its pomp 🤷🏻♂️ COYP Reply |

| 14. Author: da_no_1 Date: Tue 19th Nov 2024. 23:00 NMCmassive, Tue 19 Nov 22:11 The guy who sold Kingdom Homes for nearly 80 million is on their board. He also owns The Dean Park Hotel. Plenty loose change but not unlimited. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 15. Author: JTH123 Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 06:48 da_no_1, Tue 19 Nov 22:58 Quite possibly mate. Reply |
| 16. Author: Athletico Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 07:35 Kingdom Homes were sold for £37.5m not exactly chump change, but not £80m. Reply |

| 18. Author: da_no_1 Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 09:00 Athletico, Wed 20 Nov 07:35 I stand corrected. Remember that figure being banded about on P&B.... "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 19. Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 09:26 There was a snippet on "Good Morning Scotland" radio earlier - a survey around chairmen in lower leagues - the consensus is that all are struggling month to month and Dumbarton may not be the last to go into administration. One factor is that local small businesses who financially support these clubs season to season have had to reduce sponsorship during and after Covid. Reply |
| 20. Author: NMCmassive Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 09:42 da_no_1, Tue 19 Nov 23:00 It was Dean McKenzie I was referring too. Think the sale of Kingdom was closer to £30/35 million 🤔 that doesn’t mean he received all of that monies either. However it went down, he’s definitely received a fair chunk of change tho COYP Reply |
