  1. Now, now, these will be the same persons that dealt with a separate request on my behalf with an approach that made for a very pleasant experience. Yes, slight problems in the past, working on a tight budget as they do, the customer service has improved... massively. Can't please all the people all of the time it seems. What's the rush? First 'real' requirement still six weeks off! If you want to reserve the seat for our Europa adventure, the club will have the details you require. Simples.
  2. that Uddingston lot have a few spare for hire
  3. See cHibs offering something a little different... Best run club in Scotland?
  4. They thought Hateley was shit too! Billy Reid wouldn't know a football player if he came up and kicked him in the sandy shaws. Highly rated at Rangers, hence, his current contract offer - you'd be surprised at his contract just now. Likely to try his luck south of the border.
  5. Nothing like adding to debate. ive? Doubtful you do, but, suspect you know nothing of me, so why personal slate? Not know how to use the PM service? Don't hide behind the keyboard now...
  6. literally? In a literal manner; word for word: so, Aye, obviously... not. I knew I should have stuck in at school and not played truant. Pesky remedial classes, didn't teach me about hyperbole.
  7. The pitch went into a downward spiral after the last match, surely to give the pitch the best chance they will refuse to use outwith permitted first team matches. Well, that and a mild winter...
  8. Don't think anybody said they would ? Most up there would have you believe they shop in Marks and Spencers anyroads... As mentioned before, would still take an act of local government/parliament to switch land uses. Greased palms at the Civic Centre? Not uncommon 30 to 40 dwellings at most? they're not gonnae pay big for that? I'll bow to your superior knowledge. An average price per acre was stated without consideration of other factors. A little research shows figures in excess of that claimed for areas of similar size, suggesting we may command a larger sale price too. Too many derivatives for the guessing of calculations, eg, current financial climate and developer requirement. I'm happy the board have stuck their head above the parapet and at least investigating avenues for change.
  9. It certainly wont raise any less, maybes why the delay? Mock this one up, get the usual knickers in a twist with red, white and blues of...
  10. Luck! Tesco purchased with a view to constructing a superstore, ended up they bought the land for their property portfolio as they built elsewhere in the area.
  11. Another mould-firm double header, home to Rangers on Boxing Day then a trip to the San Giro on the Wednesday.
  12. Eh? Take your time thinking that one up? There would be 7 acres as quoted elsewhere would there not? The ideal of the developer (as I understood it) was to obtain the land Fir Park is on to open up the development to the south as current access to/from Windmillhill Street along Knowetop Avenue and Dalziel Drive is restrictive to say the least. Most understand, any likely sale of Fir Park to fund a new stadium not adding up (there, Stevie Wonder seen that on his third drive-by), suggesting, the club are likely to be looking at various partnerships, most likely community. Methinks some need to get with the programme, the devil will be going to work in his ice skates before any redevelopment begins at our current base...
  13. ? Apart from the sale of Fir Park to fund a new stadium not adding up - which a blind man running for his life could see. What utter tosh. As told to me by a member of club hierachy towards the end of the 90's, the club had a bid tabled by a landlease company in excess of what you have quoted. Moves also made under the previous Chapman stewardship... Demolition of the stands and any remedial works? Sold as seen is it not? Many existing items have re-sale value too, albeit many small scale although many an asian of slanty-eye would be doing cartwheels at the amount of steel. The board have woken up and smelled the coffee, hence, the requirement for change. Evolution? Embrace it. Progress? You'll never stop it. How, very, erm parochial. Too many trying to grasp onto halcyon days that have long since passed Fir Park by... Would the club be what it is today had we stayed at Roman Road? The logistics of your wish just doesn't compute, there are deep rooted problems (many that non-rank and file would know of) that are making the calls for change.
  14. Plenty castigated on here last week for similar... Charity begins at home for me now - hell, I pay £2 per month to underpriviliged kids in Africa and they spend it on f*ckin' trumpets!
  15. Careful, what you wish for may just come true Kit to be delivered minus sponsor and available above the normal RRP...
  16. ? Lay off the fizzy juice and the smarties kid.
  17. Maybe just sworn to keep schtum? Keeps the knicker twisters from here going overboard. It's hard enough trying to get a scoop when Mr Brown is in charge... PS, had that from 2 differing sources. That lucky, I could push for 3 or 4 without pestering (save those who do and they know who they are ) for confirmation on the next titbit. You want a PM, just to keep you in the loop likes?
  18. Maybe could have worded that better... thoughts behind it are Jack Ross was always a non starter no matter press suggestions to the contrary, hence the question mark. Doesn't fit with the ethos of development which we've had at the club for some time. May upset the sycophants, but, I don't expect (If he is I'll doff my cap to the management) to see Reynolds replaced due to those mentioned who are already contracted and the addition (one of 9) of Dario Quinn who featured in numerous squads in the latter part of the season and one Craig Brown couldn't wax lyrical enough about just recently.
  19. Jack Ross? Been mentioned, both good news and bigger and younger
  20. Onthefringes

    Hateley

    Nothing to do with being hawked around clubs the length and breadth and no takers eh? But, like global warming, I'm all for it.
  21. Imagine the apoplexy on here when they wear something different for the friendly matches
  22. All you... Please refrain from any Jack Ross based hysteria, not even on the radar. Bigger (and younger) fish
