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.

‘Is there a realistic alternative to Murrayfield? Given that our smallest support would be too big for any other stadium in Scotland.’

Perhaps whoever is paying the compo could lay on charter flights from Embra airport.
Since when did hairdressing become an Olympic sport?

In other news from Sochi, no mass executions of homosexuals have taken place yet. The BBC and others will have to wait I guess. I’ll keep you all informed.
Favourite Gary Hooper goal is either the ones against Spartak or the ones against the old huns. Happy days with Gary.
No surprise then………. Sevco v the Wee Rovers on TV.

If you’re doing the housework who’s doing the weather?

Thanks to the legacy of 30 years of Labour/Con governments and the continuing process by both political parties of privatisation of the country’s energy provision, we can look forward to energy companies continuing to rip us off and leaving us with huge bills to pay and massive environmental costs

A quick show of hands please.
How many on here believe that the EPL is overrated and not at a standard anywhere near some other Euro leagues.
And would be quit happy for them to lose all their t.v money, so we could see how good their league really is.
Oh and would like us to leave Scotland and go and play in England?

And did any of your research suggest that MMCC alters the jet stream?
And did it include this?

sorry, but granda duties prevented an earlier reply
No I dont live in Cuba,(the above duties would be difficult if I did).
I have been there
I dont need to walk in Cuban Heels to recognise the life chances available today in Cuba when compared to 50 years ago
tom courtney among others have seen in your posts an example of what I see as Myopic Idealism,primary school debate right enough!

Manchester City had a team on the field last night that cost hundreds of millions of pounds, three hundred to be exact according to the pundits on TV3 and it was beyond belief that the home team would set up defensively in this match. Another thing I noticed was the subdued reception the teams got when they made their entrance onto the park – this was in direct contrast to European nights at Parkhead.
This was a Barca team that had intent and that seems to enjoy nothing more than giving EPL teams a football lesson. This was Barcelona that we love to watch with some breathtaking football and were denied a legitimate third goal. Despite the criticism of the ref City were lucky not to have a second red card after a dangerous two-footed tackle on one of the Barca players.

Are you going?
I’m watching a video on You Tube called Glasgow gangs of the 60’s.
At the beginning of the programme there is an interview with the leader of The Shamrocks gang.
His name is Joe Devlin.
It got me thinking .
What ever became of him ?
Where were the gang from?
Does anyone on CQN have any knowledge of Joe or the gang ?

Ernie Lynch,
The solution to this problem is simple. Let’s use your hot air instead. Plenty to go around.
Wish I had thought of that one! Enough hot air from him to evaporate the floods overnight….
Shuggie,
It sounds like you got too much sun out there but I guess the tourist experience is certainly different to the native experience. Sorry, but it is best to dismiss your experience as it is very likely to have been ever so slightly sanitised. Thanks for conversing anyway. Off oot.
TT
Pretty sure the Shamrock were from Royston.

No.

Pity.
A former prisoner of the Soviet Union once told me about some useless idiots from abroad who visited the Socialist paradise. Naturally, the mental asylums, which held those who disagreed with far Left cruelty, and the chronic poverty were avoided. Instead the useless idiots were shown other aspects of Soviet life. The dissident remains hateful and bitter towards his captors. However, he reserves special venom for the useless idiots: those idealist fools who visited his country for one week and then spread the joy of Marxism to people in Italy, Germany etc.
Favourite scottish island……….that wan in the middle of huggy loch
Good Evening Timland.
Watching the Scottish news, I see the SNP government are planning
to appoint a named individual to watch over our weans………no wean
of mine that’s for sure….funnily enough you were all talking about Hitler
and Stalin yesterday on here,when you should be keeping a eye on
those interfering bastards through in Edinburgh.

When did these visits take place?
Approximately, no need for exact dates.
Ole BSR was telling me recently that the position of the northern hemisphere jet stream is determined by the temperature difference between the tropic of Cancer and the arctic circle.
Apparently, temperature variations, or moreover, changing temperature differentials he said, cause the position of the jet stream to oscillate as it circles the earth.
Bourne says our climate is effectively the pattern of weather we experience over the long term, which over time allows us to differentiate between ordinary weather – within the expected pattern – and extraordinary weather – unexpected given the ordinary pattern. He said that the more frequently extraordinary weather events are recorded, the more ‘ordinary’ they become, and thus the climate pattern can be said to have changed.
BSR said such climate changes both above and below the tropics are well observed, and correlate directly with the changing position of the jet stream and the weather it causes around the world.
He also said that the [said] observed climate changes cannot be explained by any other cause than the vast release of CO2 since the industrial revolution.
Finally he said: “Thanks for the lift home. I’d have been soaked otherwise. Hail Hail.”
He was as erudite a passenger as I’ve known in a long time.
