“On behalf of all the KFCSA committee I’d like to thank everyone

who made the Player of the Year dance such a great night. The “feel-

good factor” from our famous cup win was still much in evidence

and I hope most of you got the chance to get a photo taken with the

trophy. The generosity of everyone was heartwarming and we have

raised in excess of £5000, this was totally unexpected as we don’t run

the dance to be a big fundraiser. We will sit down as a committee and

ensure the money is used to benefit the fans and the club alike. There

is something special about having a celebratory night with like mind-

ed Killie fans and I hope there will be many more to come. SIncere

thanks once again for your continued support of KFCSA.

Its neva gonna catch

on!

Since KFCSA was modernised three years ago now there has been a few detractors who have aimed to kick us when things have been less than rosy however there is no doubt in football there is nothing like winning a trophy to galvanise the supporters and the club together.

Despite the events of last May and a certain game against Rang-ers KFCSA have been slowly working towards its goals with deter-mination and focus and the Cup win has certainly helped speed-up our desire to work so much closer with club staff to help where we know we can make a difference.

This week we probably seen that focus and hard work come to-gether for the benefit of the club and the support more than there has ever been in the past with any supporter’s organisation. Firstly the club were struggling to sort a guestbook for fans to pay their re-spects to Jack Kelly (RIP) so who did they call? Yep KFCSA sorted their problems and the guestbook is now housed on our website only it looks as though it sits under the clubs.Our next example of the club and KFCSA working in harmony has been seen today Saturday 24th as our Communications Officer and part-time photographer (Sandy Ferguson would no doubt ar-gue that) was part of the paparazzi taking photos of the Motherwell match and our wonderful fans enjoying the game.

Third example was KFCSA allowing the club to use the flags from Hampden at the Well game that we purchased from the Material Communications Group in Glasgow who had made them for the League Cup final. The flags were the ones held when the players came onto the park after the Motherwell game and as club secre-

tary Kirsten Callaghan explained

“The flags are brilliant!”

Now, we don’t look for credit we only look for what is best for all and if we can do something better then we hope/expect the club to speak to us because we only want what is best for Kilmarnock FC and (once and for all) we have no hidden agendas.

It has to be said at this point that our working partnership with the club is probably much better than how the odd doubter amongst our support would have you believe however we won’t allow any negative comments to detract from what we want to achieve so upwards and onwards.Finally, I have to conclude this by stating here and now that we take our Killie bunnets off to the club secretary Kirsten who works tirelessly for the cause and I am sure KFCSA would not have as good a relationship with the club if it wasn’t for her!
