SteveJ 743 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Do we know what our facilities are like? I cannot say I have seen us advertise much, recently.Having enquired about many meeting rooms for business meetings, I have found football venues pretty poor. Sadly, I have never had need for one in Scotland, so I have never checked on Ibrox.I would hate to think that Celtic Park can offer better facilities to us, though.

They run the LOT ! Our hierarchy sat back and watched them walk in virtually unopposed seemingly happy now to have the crumbs off their table.

Dutchy 1,200 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 They have been getting away with it since they made their assault on Glasgow labour party from the mid 60's onwards basically taking over it from the 70's till now. They run the LOT ! Our hierarchy sat back and watched them walk in virtually unopposed seemingly happy now to have the crumbs off their table. Be interesting to see if anybody has the balls to take it back ! They're running the whole labour party and that's why I've never voted for labour, even though I prefer socialist values. In my home town, Prestonpans, they've named a street Jacobite Way. I can't say too much about that due to them winning the Battle of Prestonpans on their way to Derby and ultimate defeat at Culloden. I'm sure they would love another civil war, but they certainly like to keep things alive, no matter how ancient, and seem to have forgotten their complaints about celebrating old battles, re 1690. I've found out that they even have Battle of Prestonpans re-enactments. I can bet who put the money up for that one. Although they may have some right to remember the Battle and can't resist the temptation to name streets after it, what is the association with Rob 'Roy' MacGregor? There's a whole new build estate with MacGregor's name to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertz 78 918 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 That lot actually have the nerve to call Rangers the establishment team??Multi Millions of tax payers money has been spent helping them either directly or indirectly by GCC.Why is the opening ceremony of the 2014 CWG at Porkhead and not Hampden where the games will be held?

TAFKA 545 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hosted a briefing/dinner at Ibrox a few years ago.Drinks reception in Blue Room and main event in what was then known as Thornton Suite (to right of centre as you face front door) and it was more than adequate, price was competitive.And in terms of the corrupt relationship between Celtic and GCC, remember the land they "bought" for a pound (three streets if I remember correctly) and the Commonwealth Games has provided a smokescreen to allow much renovation (check out Dalmarnock Station) that only one club will benefit from when the party is over.McAveety, McConnell etc - a good investigative journo could win a fucking Pulitzer uncovering the sordid little deals.But they are too obsessed with us.

Bad Robot 21,513 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Questions should be asked on what individuals and departments of Education Services organised all these.Also why are the council using these venues when they should be keeping the money internal and using the various council premises scattered about the city.
