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.

In Iraq, life expectancy is 67. Minutes from Glasgow city centre, it’s 54
In deprived inner city area of Calton, the chance of surviving to old age is lowest in UK

I’m a Sammi agnostic!
He’s been good for us at times and great for us occasionally.
And if and when he goes, good luck to the big ghuy.
Favourite Sammi moment def when he kidded on he was was going to throw the ball into the supermodel coupon that belongs to Barree Fergushon. And the bold boy sh£t himself.
Priceless. Or several £M over a multi-year contract! Depends on how you view things.
As for my ancestry, escaped Paisley boy I am ( posh end mind!) so anywhere was going to be progress.
Doc can buy me a beer at cqn10 for me to cry into following his earlier disparaging remarks!! :-(
Good night Timdom.
And mind I said, be half decent to one another! We’re not short of enemies so no need to come on here and make more!

That’s a strong statement SNP are clueless and don’t have a plan B.
I always new my dregree in Business and Economics would come in handy.
We don’t actually need a plan b as the pound belongs to us and has done for 300 years. Also: think transaction costs. also think the number of countries throughout the world that has used other currencies without any formal agreement. Hong Kong and the dollar, so I would suggest you do a wee bit of research before making wild statements. And please tell us what exactly do you have against an independent Scotland?

Interesting.
I get the impression that academic standards have fallen during that period and that discipline is far more of a problem.Perhaps the two are related.
Would you agree?
……………………………………
Hard to tell really. I was educated under the selective system (11+) and a smaller number of pupils got highers and went on to Higher education. Pupils who went to zjunior secondaries tended to go into trades or commercial and service sector. As a result of the change to the Comprehensive system more pupils are gaining Highers and a university education. The big criticism is in the quality of some degrees and how relevant they are in preparing students to find a job.
What is certain, though, is that more children enjoy their school experience today than they did in Tony D’s time. All children are taught, however, some children are just not academic and find language and maths difficult. Schools try to provide a broad curriculum so that these children will develop their talents in other areas art, P.E, drama etc.
I attended a course at Jordanhill about 20 years ago and a lecturer read out a quote from a captain of industry criticising educational standards in the country. It criticised standards of numeracy, literacy, speech etc amongst prospective employers. We all thought it was a recent criticism because you read the same type of stuff regularly in the newspapers but it was actually taken from 1934 – a time when academic standards were thought to be very high. So this seems to be a common criticism of education throughout all the different eras.
As for discipline, good teachers don’t have problems because they engage the interests of their pupils and endure that they are too busy to cause trouble. As a former, headteacher, though there were some children who couldn’t help getting into trouble. They seemed to resent all forms of authority. When you met the parents you then understood why the kids behaved the way they did. It was often clear that their parents had a deep seated resentment of schools and teachers because they had had bad experiences themselves.
Oz, no idea how to respond politely to that:-)
Sorry crc,
Didnt realise that i had included that part in my post!
I am guilty of speculating on what might have been for some players who didn’t but perhaps should have made it at Celtic.
Marc Crosas was one such player IMHO off course.
HH
Martim 1980
You suggest I’m clueless. At least I’m putting forward arguments wether you agree or not. You just put forward insults.
I have asked you to make points why you are so against independence and you respond with insults.
Let us have your case and give me and other bloggers an opportunity to answer. It’s actually you that’s clueless.
Agree about Crosas, quality footballer.
Ps
As most fholk on here have been on this site for a while please ask yourselves why so many previous posters no longer do so ?
I know a few
thebhoyfromoz
A good post earlier about Marc Crosas. I never realised he played 40 games for us. Always liked him and that quote by him was absolute class.
Must be due at least a place on the Dream Team bench!
Doc
If he is quality, then surely that will shine through in the CqteN Dream Team selection!

You are the pursuer campaigning though. I never started this by posting propaganda. I’m not campaigning.

Please re-read your post. It doesn’t make any sense.

Btw the way I think the entire Scottish exec is clueless not just the snp.
Currently what do I have against Scottish Independence? the dread of the blog having to be exposed to your ill-advised views. Have you answered the points made earlier?
ps I particularly enjoyed “I always new my dregree in Business and Economics” It’s all about credibility.
Which party do you vote for again, decided yet?
Please stop campaigning on the Blog.
Seems Sevco have taken out a paypay loan – not happy over on FF..
I have never once insulted you personally, tis you who called me hun, the worst insult of all. because I don’t like your campaign style.
You are making up things now. Not good for the campaign is it? Lying.
Incidentally, who will be deciding the CQTeN Dream Team selection?
Is it a panel and if so, who is on it? We want names :-)
I liked the way Barca made the M C players look very ordinary last night!!

The SNP’s policy is to have monetary union, not just adopt the pound.
Are you the best the SNP can come up with to infest the site?
Could they not allocate someone with at least a basic understanding of party policy?

I enjoyed reading BSR’s truly erudite explanation of the effect of temperatures on the position of the jetstream and so our weather and extremes becoming normalised over time.
However I am puzzled why BSR being such a weather expert left home without an umbrella and needed to cadge a lift to avoid getting wet. ;)
Martim 1980
Still waiting on your reasons for being against independence. It really easy to say ill informed crap about ill advised views.
Tell us on this site the reasons why you are against independence,
Just tell us. It is a straight forward request
They are also in a rage about this – Man City and Manchester Police getting the blame. No mention of the riots though!
“My mate and I attended the Man City v Chelsea game last weekend for the FA cup clash, we had tickets in the Chelsea end, we both had Rangers red white and blue Scarfs on, no writing. We were took to the side by stewards at the Emirates and told if we do not take our scarves off we would not be allowed in the ground, I said these are red white and blue, that’s all, he said your Rangers fans and your not welcome in this stadium with anything to do with Rangers. I went to the nearest police inspector who told me they had also been informed by manchester city. No one with rangers colours on should be allowed in the ground. Every Chelsea fan was searched and the Chelsea/rangers flag was taken by city stewards and seized. This needs to be made public.”
I’m not campaigning Billy Bhoy05. You are and losing votes every post.
CRC, fair point, he is available, but top 4 from the last 10years, perhaps not.
Still think he had quality.

Thanks for that.
I come from a long line of teachers.Four in my immediate family.
Probably twenty in my extended family.
No problem with discipline in my day.The tawes,the Lochgelly(?),a handy ruler.Even a skelp round the lugs.
Your lecturer tale rings a bell.
We complain about the kids of today.So did the Romans.”Oh tempera,oh mores.”
When I was 9/10 we used to do long division with units.eg Divide 89 tons by 37.Down through cwts,stones,pounds.ounces.
I remember that vividly because I got four of the belt for getting it wrong.
Maybe Tony Donnelly has got a point.
Got to head off now,Sadie.
Enjoyed the chat.
So, the Churches are criticising Cameron for hunger resulting from his policies / cuts…….. they took their time…….what I would like to know is when is someone going to actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT…….talk is cheap…!!

There you go again comming out with the “I’m not campaigning” line and then accusing me of campaigning.
I’m asking you to answer a question as your involved in a debate and putting forward a veiw I don’t accept. If your not prepared to answer questions why get involved?
I haven’t been involved in the debate till now but would just like you to put forward what your veiws are on the issue as you seem good at dismissing others but are rather short on alternatives.

Cheers.

Politics….anyone who has any desire to be a politician should automaticly be barred from being one.

You are doing yourself no favors, in fact, you are turning anyone who may be a bit in the balance against your stance, give it up, go to a politico site and spout your indy stuff.
