  1. i took my wee boy to the game on monday hes 6, he loved every min, i've took him to about 8 games this season so far and he's loving it but the only problem I have is the flares why do we need flares at a game ? they were going off all through the game on monday and my wee boy was struggling to breathe at times, if the flares continue I don't think i'll be coming back with my boy any more.

  2. I've just sent them an email there, I'm no that great at emails hopefully this is ok.

    this is what I wrote:

    Hi there,

    I'm just sending an email to complain about the gibson gala this year.

    I attended your gala last year for the first time which I, my family and friends thought it was great, we all had an enjoyable time there.

    the highlight for us was the founders trail stall which we found out while there that they do great work for charity and there staff were also very friendly,

    I was going to attend the gala again this year hoping to visit the founders trail stall again but I found out through a friend that this stall will not be at the gibson gala any more, my friend could not give me an explanation to why the stall will not be there this year ?

    so I'm sorry but me, my family and friends will not be attending this years gala or any other gibson street galas in the feasible future due to the founders trail stall not going to be there any more.

  3. I think the majority of football fans in Scotland (minus the hate Rangers over the big picture brigade) will be happy that 12-12-18 has been rejected. It was a stupid set up that was so convoluted that it defeats the principles of a League. The one thing I cant understand is why the positive things, that Im sure we all agree with, redistribution of money (if there is any), play-off system, one league body etc cant be implemented under the current structure whilst working on a larger league set up that the overwhelming majority of fans want.....and to paraphrase the words of Stephen Thomson....any business that doesn't listen to its customers is doomed to failure.

    I have heard many reasons why a 16 or an 18 wouldn't work and it always seems to come back to both finance and the need for the 4 old firms for any TV deal. A very simple solution to this (I know we dont do simple in this country) would be to rejig the league cup. If we went with a top flight of 16....everyone plays home and away (just like in Portugal) that would give each team 15 home games guaranteed....The addition of play-offs for relegation places will increase that for some clubs as well.

    If we rejig the league cup to a champions league type format with regionalised sections of 4 (i.e - Rangers, Celtic, Partick and QP) with the top two qualifing for the knockout stage it would give each club a further 3 guaranteed home games taking it to the current number of 18.......The fact these games will be derbys will surely bring in bigger crowds and it would also mean Sky would have their 4 Edinburgh/Old Firm Derbies.

    Under this system there would be no need for any split and and with teams only playig each other twice there would be a greater uptake in tickets for certain games. The concept of meaningless games is banded about but ultimately every league has "meaningless games" but that doesnt mean they arent good or exciting games and only visiting a ground once a season would hopefully encourage fans to go regardless of the importance of the game especially if their team is playing well.

    I personally think this would be a simple proposal for our top flight and one that meets the wishes of the majority of fans.....would it work? If not why and why has something like this never been suggested by the SFA?.....

    why is everybody being so negative about this idea, i think it sounds great, only playing these teams twice in the league im up for that, league cup has all ways been piss but this makes it a bit more interesting.

  4. Iirc, it was no way near the size of the one we have right now.

    There was also a small shop at the corner of copland rd, where ladbrokes sits now.

    aye I remember that wee shop at the corner of copland rd,

    I remember getting my Jock Wallace book signed wae the big man in that shop :praise:

    good memorys in that wee shop .

  5. They have achieved quite a bit already. The opinion to the average person on the street is, if you are a Rangers fan, then you are a bigot and/or racist.

    This is just the start. Believe me. They have been planning this for years, and it is now all starting to fall into place. This goes much further than just Rangers. This is a sectarian witch-hunt against the protestant people.

    Your right m8, I wouldn't be surprised if the big plan has a bigger picture and the Scottish government is involved as well,

    if Rangers don't exists they maybe think they've got a better chance of getting the independence vote ?

    sounds crazy but nothing surprises me now after everything that's been going on this year.

  6. "Also why do people keep asking if we will get a share of the gate if we don't take any fans, of course we do, just like Elgin did for bringing only about 500 fans yesterday."

    the difference is they brought fans! If we reject it why would they need to pay us gate money especially if they sell that stand to their supporters? - do you not think their supporters would feel disenfranchised if we reject the application for tickets, bring no fans and still demand gate money?

    Imagine if it was the other way around...

    time to start taking money off these cunts instead of them feeding off us

  7. Ano charles green sayed they wouldn't do this but what if his consortium decide they are going to rent out our ground to us for £1.5m a year say but they say this stadium name sponsor will cover the rent ? hopefully I'm just talking drunkin pish but it was just a thought :(
