Is that the time? Many thanks to everyone who submitted questions for the Club to answer at the Forum this evening. CQN submitted six pages of questions along with many other groups, from which an agenda has been prepared (below):
Stadium Atmosphere and Matchday Policy:
What is the current position in respect of the Green Brigade?
Do the Club believe their response to Motherwell was justified and proportionate?
Stewarding at home matches is heavy handed in certain sections of the Stadium e.g. Block 122 and Blocks 110, 111 & 112, is there a reason for this?
The presence of FoCUS at home matches is intimidating and antagonises supporters, is it necessary to have them and if so can they be located in an area which is less intrusive?
Can the Club introduce a code of conduct which all Stewards need to sign up to?
Attending matches is expensive, what are the Club’s plans on ticket pricing?
Safe Standing has been regularly discussed, what is the current position?
The Coach Park has been relocated to an area which is unsuitable for the majority of fans who use it, what is the longer term plan?
The Kerrydale Bar has been a welcome addition to matchday are there plans for another?
What are the Club’s thoughts on the current location of the Family Section?
Stadium Catering has long since been considered over-priced and sub-standard, what is the current position in terms of offering an improved service?
Many fans feel their support is taken for granted, would the Club consider adding value by recognising long-term support for 5, 10, 15 years’ Season Ticket purchase by offering upgrades to Premium or Corporate for a day?
With so many empty seats on match day at present can the Club not allocate these to good causes, school and youth groups and community projects?
PR & Communication:
There is a perception that the Club are quick to criticise our fans but slow to praise them, what’s the Club’s view?
Why is the Club not more vocal when our Manager, Players and Fans are attacked in the media?
The Club is seen to be slow to react to key issues through the media, why is this?
The Club has stated its opposition to the OBTC Act but there is a sense that it has to do more in support of the fans who are affected by this, will the Club take a more vocal position?
Is this meeting a recognition from the Club that a gap exists between the Club and the fans?
The Club are often considered to be on the back foot in terms of PR, is there recognition of this from within and is there a plan to drive the PR strategy by producing more positive stories?
Would the Club consider the introduction of a weekly phone-in show to combat existing shows which often provide misinformation or unrealistic comparisons from unqualified sources?
Supporter Specific Issues:
Given the level of demand which exists, would the Club consider adding to to the excellent new disabled supporters’ facility or creating something similar in another part of the stadium?
Fixture re-scheduling at short notice is costing supporters money and ultimately driving fans away, can the Club seek an agreement with all other Clubs that a minimum notice period is put in place?
Would the Club consider a floating credits scheme for fans outside Scotland to mitigate losses when matches are rescheduled?
Murrayfield – what is the plan relative to transportation and kick-off times, also Edinburgh cannot be accessed in a 24-hr trip by Irish supporters, can this be reflected in their Season Ticket offering?
At present away, neutral and European match ticket allocations are based on attendance of matches at each of the defined categories. Would the Club consider a scheme where all matches are taken into account including attendance at home matches as this would encourage more fans to attend home games?
For European match ticket allocation there is no stated policy at present, this leads to confusion as fans don’t always know when they will receive an offer or if it’s first come first served, this needs to be made clear by way of a stated policy which allows for clarity and gives supporters a defined process.

Did 7 away CL results (was sweating on the A.M. result) – 4 up and £80 running on in-play next week on; B.Dortmund, Chelsea, Real Madrid.
Tuesday will be tempting to cash-out – B.D. might be the weakest choice!

Apologies if anyone has already commented on this. The important points seem to be:
The decision taken by the SPFL not to impose automatic relegation on any clubs who enter administration; and
The power to decide the fate of clubs that liquidate has been taken away from the member clubs themselves and put in the hands of the SPFL Board.
Can anyone throw any light on how this came about and how come there has been so little comment.
Thanks.

Ha – I’ve heard of Peter Rice may have taught my older smarter brother – Lanarkshire schools?

I believe he taught PE in Holy Cross, Hamilton before he went into the PE department at Notre Dame College.

Ernie Lynch… Are you happy with. UK ruled by Tories 60% over a couple of generations?
Can you figure out an alternative?
You don’t live in London! Do you?
You can compare the wealth of that City to Glasgow… Happy with that?
You’ll tell us next that a 60% loss for Celtic is ok…!

I honestly don’t know.
I was the EIS rep for many years where I work but gave it up after becoming more and more disillusioned with the leadership and ridiculous proposals being submitted repeatedly at the AGM.
I’m still a member but only as a fall back as a consequence of our contemporary litigious society.

Well done, Bayern. Coupon up for a change. Arsenal looked really good first 10 minutes. Just listening to big Arsene Parsley. Will be posting my usual head to head stats for Sat. As a precursor……..Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Coty have not lost to their opponents at home for yonks, 17, 29 and 16 matches respectively……but odd sill not be too great. Thought Bayern missed Ribery quite a bit. Both penalties were very poor.
HH.
North ants have not lost at home to Hartlepool in 25 matches.
Walsall have played Crawley 3 times and drawn all 3.
Albion Rovers have never lost in the Scottish Cup to Rory Bremner United.

Wasn’t there some Jimmy Reid talk on here a few days ago?
Not a Hibs fan I’d say.
Some great pics here

CowieBhoy, they only invited article intelligent people, so you didn’t make the short list!
I let it be known I was unavailable.
Monteblanco,
Where did I suggest that no-one should criticise free enterprise? It would, however, contribute to rational debate if the critics came up with facts rather than unfounded claims.
You admit that you don’t have the facts. Fair enough: that doesn’t make you stupid & pl.note that I’ve never suggested such a thing.
The facts that disprove your claims include that we now purchase a huge variety of articles from countries formerly unable to produce them: the most notable is Communist China where, in the absence of democracy, capitalism is allowed to rip as nowhere else – with spectacular results (obviously not all good). India lags behind because it kept “socialist” interference in the economy for a decade after China, but the most striking example is South Korea which, war-devastated & dirt-poor 60 years ago, is now among the wealthiest countries in the world.
The Swedish population expert whose striking presentation was on TV the other week pointed out that we humans are not only more numerous than ever, but wealthier AND more equal: (& he said the same about population as I’ve been saying for 40 years). I suggest that you ask him to back his statistics (which you haven’t done yourself).
I confess that at times I find it difficult to fathom what point you’re trying to make, e.g. food banks vs immigrants to the UK: I also find it difficult to fathom why you criticise the – admittedly imperfect – democracy where we live while bigging up mass-murderer Stalin & Stalinist Cuba.

Also, can I put in an alarm call for the next time we vote for a change in reigning monarch? I slept through the last one.
———————————————————————————————————————
If you feel strongly about it you have the right in a democracy to agitate for the right to vote on the issue.Join the republican movement.
That`s precisely what happened in Oz.
Fortunately,the republicans lost.:-)
In Cuba ,55 years of los hermanos.Fidel and Raul.
Indefensible.
People vote with their feet,or rather their paddles.
And for some,better dead than red.Tragically.

Good find about JR – no doubt he was out for the day at the Cup Final
However he was much more likely to be found at the bigotdome
Perhaps some of the older men can remember him at CP?
Would doubt it

Your last sentence shows that you are a wise man. It used to be a very good union but alas things change over time.
Could u please answer me this.Why have Bayern Munich got 5 stars on their shirts when they have never played in the Scottish league and have never changed their name or died.just asking.ps do Uefa know about this.
Martim 1980
Your entitled to your opinion as all of us are.
I would just ask that the anti independent fholk on this site state that they prefer that Scotland should be governed by a party that we don’t vote for than win independence. I don’t think anyone can argue on that point as that is fact.
Some fholk also get sensitive when it is pointed out that they are in the same camp as the Loyal Orange Order but it is true. Some fholk here also claim to be republicans when pertaining to other countries but manage to forget that when it comes to Scotland.
I don’t think I have been nasty to anyone on this posting but if some fholk think so it is not deliberate

No. The real DARK side.
