TopCat Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Anyone else get this letter from the club today? Sounds interesting. Is it going to be in the void? Why the Motherwell game? Are season tickets valid? Edited October 31, 2014 by TopCat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddieinEK Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Waste of money. Why not fundraise to kit out the wasted area in the main stand as a permanant fans meeting area and bar? That would also raise cash for the club ongoing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddiecat Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Marquee in December, no need to chill the beer. indeed, unfortunately the fans council are not in touch with the normal died in the wool saints fans, but good luck to them. just noticed the bar has no licence yet (are the playstations licensed for public use ? ) and you have to register online if you want to go in the tent !

Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Testing the water possibly to see if there is any demand before shelling out to fit out the void? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Anything which is going to generate more income for the club has got to be a good idea. If we make £100 profit from this it will be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiecat Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 looks like the first fundraiser to get cash for the void, a matchday bar would be a good thing, the wording in the original letter a "supporters club at the ground" does concern me slightly, hopefully it's not a members only club they have in mind,and that it gets the go ahead and its a first come first served basis on match days with nobody exempt from having to queue to get in and served, i'm thinking back to the idea from the cic days that there would be be "priority service" for some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 The guy's on the fan council are trying hard you got to give credit where it's due. However I would be totally astonished if the Police give a license to sell alcohol in a Marquee outside a football stadium. Add in the fact Motherwell has a bad hooligan section that follow them to away games. Even if a license is given ( I doubt it ) would you want to stand inside a freezing tent for a beer ? could understand trying it in the spring but December Brrrrrr ! Why not have a comedy night in the hospitality - dinner dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old memory tells me Falkirk did this a few times at the old ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid Calder Saint Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 If we require further cash injection quite simply why not have a Share Issue. We did it to raise capital to build the fourth stand at our beloved Love Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes.. i have seen it. I also happen to believe we could have it functional for less by appealing for practical support from within the Saints family. Optimism is no bad thing when mixed with a measure of realism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 No share issue is ever going to happen until club is sold. We issue extra shares and SG has to buy 50% to maintain the consortium's majority share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 good work on making the effort. Hopefully it will be the start of trying to make visits to the ground a wee bit more enjoyable. 3 points would help as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
