calio 688 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 This is one of the first of many fights that will only take place once we have some fucking boardroom stability with directors who appreciate what we are up against & are prepared to stand up to the tarrier tyranny who currently hold many of the major positions in media, politics and sporting associations.We don`t want special treatment but parity would be nice.

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Not sure if it would but I would've thought events like this would affect business rates, as its based on the income that is drawn in by the facilities? If so it's even more baffling that theirs has dropped by so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze 14,704 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 it's like this chaps - it's the size of the conference suite... we can hold a max of 200 they can hold a max of 600 200 is not a good size for a conference tbh and you also need good sized breakout rooms (which we don't have) ... the stuff I go to has 500 plus at them.... especially larger conferences that need to get a message out to as many people as possible. anything we develop in the future should look to maximise profit - conferences are good money makers!

It could be but are they using it for 500+ or are they using it for 200 whereas this should be going to Ibrox etc. GCC have probably tied it up in a tendering process where they're asking for10 events, which is 2 events for 500 people and 8 events for 200 which means only the savcos can apply.

That would be revealing I'm certain. See they are clever bastards . For every bear that works out In the Dustbin lorries ,there will be 100 more Tims in decision making admin posts in Chambers and various other authority outlets like Housing etc around the City and even most of the Country Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senex 20 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 My brother's been in the Paedodome for a wedding before. They have a big banqueting hall in the Celtic end but there's a large lounge area with bars for folk to mill about in before they go get fed. "Top level" according to him even though he's the type of cunt who would try and take a magic marker in to leave Torbett menchies in the bogs. On the other hand, at the start of this season at Ibrox, the modesty boards between urinals were still needing repaired from last season and the fridges weren't working. That's the difference.
