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.

If it’s any consolation – I went B.M. @-1!

Whether folk want independence or not, my bet would be that a ‘no’ vote will close off that route for a decade plus. And that’s even with the Osborne/Cameron/Boris effect and the antipathy they generate.
Enjoy the 2nd half!

Ernie,
Quite a lot of things surprise you about Marxist states. Probably best for you to meet people who have experience of living in a Marxist state. To bring some balance to my posts, I will assert once more that some people have fond memories of aspects of the Soviet era. They include my family. However, the far Left’s terror of Eastern Europe ought never to be forgotten.
Jamesgang, dont geez yer pash. You farted on the train.
Ffs, mrs acgr has just come though and demanded the firba be switched off. Her rationale being that I watched it last night.
Wummin:-(
Vale bhoy
So why have EIS done this to the members ?
Cant understand !

‘If I understand you, you’re against independence for Scotland: obviously we don’t deserve what Ireland has.’

We have the right to self determination.
We will chose to remain part of the UK.
We are not a colony in the way Ireland was.
The irony is that we’d be closer to being a colony under the SNP’s proposals than we are now.
Pfayr.. they are the only party that doesnt take its orders from london. Its in their DNA in the same way it is for most nationalist parties (plaid cymru, sinn fein etc)
Hello…..HAIL, HAIL THE CELTS ARE HERE, ON THE CQN, ON THE CQN….:)
The EIS have to act on their members wishes. Perhaps not enough members voted to go on strike.
I think I just explained that. A deal with SNP. I think you’ll find many of the EIS leaders are of that persuasion.
Ernie,
Thanks for the new word by the way.
Weeminger,
It gives me no pleasure to be cynical about charities but one has to be. Some are milking kind people dry. A lot of wonderful people do great things unpaid for charity. Their efforts should be reciprocated by others in the chain.

Did Marx ever suggest what the likelihood was of there being a successful socialist revolution in a country that was only just emerging from feudalism?
Come on Arsenal

In which case a vote for independence is a vote for the SNP ….unless there are hundreds of thousands of closet independence acolytes in all the other parties just desperate for independence so they can show their true colours …I think not

Had I done so mate it would just have added to their big town adventure!!! Aggregate age, almost 2 hunner between them. Two of them had come to collect the other from the golden jubilee and take her back to Aberdeen. Farting weedgies would have been the perfect end to their trip me thinks!!!

1-0 BM
Kroos…belter!!
Hamiltontim
I always said that was the demise of football at school
In my time it was teachers that ‘coached’ and more importantly spent time with kids – going to Saturday games etc
1-0 Bayern. BTW, German commentator just said Fabianski wants away from Arsenal. Forster replacement?
Bayern 1-0 – Kroosing now !!

Ye werent ofi oot very long,forget something?
a sense of perspective mibbee?
I`ll quite happily show you my holiday snaps if you want to compare sun tans.
but your tone is quite deplorable for someone who cant handle contrary information to your Myopic Idealism
I have merely presented UNICEF data on Cuba as a counterpoint to your Myopic Ideal where religous,conservative values are a pre-requisite for decency
no wonder the serfs revolted in Tsarist Russia they were the same values that priests and believers used to proclaim the Tsar as God on Earth.
Some goal for BM

Have you heard of the Scottish socialists, the Scottish Greens, Radical Independence, the Jacobite party, Labour for Independence and Plaid Cywmbru?
All of them support Scottish independence.
Not to mention the large number of people who don’t vote SNP and never have who support Independence and independent people themselves.
Yellow card for nothing

Was certainly the death of rugby…..
HH jamesgang
Pfayr.. you are a clever guy.. do you really believe that if Scotland votes yes then we will have a SNP government until the end of days ? If independence is delivered we will all go back to being labour supporting socialists.
Bale bhoy & originalsadiesbhoy
Thanks
I always thought traditionally they were labour but that was obviously long time ago :)
Marx wasn’t the problem Ernie. It was his followers.
I checked the bookies odds earlier today. I think the average was around 2/9 on a NO vote.
Anyways, back to the football.
Apparently a high proportion of English people say they’ll support any political possibility that avoids them getting a Scottish banknote in their change.

Sorry vale bhoy
BFFS !
Shuggiebhoy, I actually did go out but that is by the by.
Quote all the statistics you like about Cuba. Good education means nothing without freedom. Indeed it is even perverse in some way to educate and broaden people’s minds but to still force that very same people to submit to a narrow ideology. Did you meet any dissidents during your holiday?
Going to bed. Sleep well.
