covenanter 158 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Where is this from? I penned this piece several years past. It was an article originally posted on FollowFollow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,763 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Anyone who owns shares in RFC can lodge a complaint on this as you would have an interest in a competitor who was directly affected by the deal. There are 5 conditions set out and I would assert that the deal given to the tims ticks the box of 4 of the conditions:Use of state resourcesEconomic advantageSelectivity (i.e. the aid favours certain commercial undertakings or the production of certain goods)Effect on competitionI'll give it a go because it has always annoyed me that they got this deal and there was no media uproar. I'll also write to the Council and ask for details citing FOI legislation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,763 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 First class from more than a fan, but did they not also get a electricity pylon moved behind the Celtic end for £1. The stadium was to high blocking sunlight out of people's homes that was why houses were knocked down in diarada st. My grandad stayed in the tenements in diarada st. Great they are doing up the east end as you will not get a more passionate bear that an eastend bear. But totally agree all within a mile of the beggerdome is a disgrace. What about the rest of Glasgow?It was Dalriada Street. They tried to get the pylon removed for buttons but Scottish Power made them pay over £1m. I'd like to know what happened to ownership of Janefield Street which was closed off and also the ownership of Davaar Street, Kerrydale Street, Kinloch Street and the adjoining land. Think I'll add that to my FOI request to Glasgow City Council. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm working on that, if someone could give me a hand digging it out that would be terrific. It's been buried superbly well.Under Freedom of Information you should be able to request this directly from the council archive and all paperwork related to it.

bluesbro1976 162 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I would imagine former councillor for housing , now deceased, madge o'neill. She was a season ticket holder, a known republican and heavily involved in the ouncil about that time. Also the last lord provest, female liz cameron and some guy from kirkton avenue in knightswood. But efo madge o neill. She was a big fat wuman, who claimed disability badge and dla, but funnily enough her season tivket was the top of the jock knew stand. No bad eh?

The Educator 1,572 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm not from Glasgow, it needs to be someone from Glasgow who does the request. You don’t need to be from Glasgow to make a request under the FOI and you certainly don’t have to be from Glasgow to report this to UEFA either as it involves Scottish football and indeed European football as the team in question takes part in UEFA organised tournaments. Glad to see someone running with this one after my posting on the 4th (http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=250331&hl=) regarding the Illegal government funding investigation involving clubs in Spain and I also believe Holland.Before moving forward on this one it’s important that you get irrefutable facts on the deal regarding costs, dates, names and how the conflict of interest arise. Good luck with your research and if a template can be compiled for reporting the completed research and request for an investigation by UEFA I’ll certainly download it and post it on as I believe many others on the forum will do. If you have any contacts with sane minded fans of other clubs it may be worth sounding them out on participating as it involves all of Scottish football.

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Often wondered how a club that was saved from extinction was suddenly able to build a new stadium,well now we all know.Wheels within wheels and bigger premiums for the shareholders that sat on GCC.Corrupt to the core.This should be stickied for all to see or to recall at the touch of a button.

ScottBF2 3,540 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Dear Mr VirginTadger,Thank you for your complaint dated 14 April 2013 concerning the matter referred to above.We understand from your complaint that the expropriation and transfer of land to Celtic (for 1 Pence) took place around 1995.Procedural matters regarding State aid control are laid down in Procedural Regulation N° 659 of 22 March 1999 (see link).http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:1999:083:0001:0009:EN:PDFArticle 15 of this Regulation lays down a prescription period of 10 years for the Commission to act regarding any aid that has not been notified to it.I therefore have to inform you that it would serve no purpose to pursue your complaint, because aid awarded illegally more than 10 years ago must be deemed to constitute existing aid, similar to aid formally approved by the Commission.Nevertheless, we appreciate that you have taken the trouble to inform us of this matter.Sincerely yours,Wouter PiekéHead of unit COMP.C.4of the European CommissionSo, correct me if I'm wrong, because this was more than 10 years ago it's duff?

Bad Robot 21,030 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 So, correct me if I'm wrong, because this was more than 10 years ago it's duff?Seems like it to me and it will probably be deemed illegal to these regulations if CG tries to get the land off the council on the cheap.

timetofightback 0 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 You say you need Glasgow bears to complain as they have a direct interest due to council tax payments etc. However central government funds every council so they can keep the council tax rates steady so indirectly all Scottish based tax payers should be classed as having the right to complain, even English people as our central government is handed it's cash from Westminster. Also in the 2000's just about every big council in Scotland was bailed out by Mconnell's labour government due to over spending Glasgow being one of the worst. I can also remember talk of a deal with Glasgow council and Celtic about their old training ground, something like they had to pay the council money when they moved out as compo due to them being unable to punt it for houses years ago, could be a story there too? Maybe not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 So they just wrote that because it's more than 10 years old it doesn't matter? Why do they not explain why it has no purpose anymore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
