    I've got to be honest - this was always a major worry of mine. The competency of the football fan to do the work involved to stay abreast of the matters in which they are being asked to have an opinion in a club with fan ownership. Many football fans have never bothered to read the "Laws of the Game" and are happy to follow dodgy interpretations of the rules from football commentators and pundits and when it comes to this kind of stuff we have to realise the same applies. Football fans tend to be far happier spending hours on a football forum posting their ill informed opinions than they are reading through proposals and legal agreements. 

    I bet you've already cast your vote "proudtobeabuddy" haven't you? 

    No i haven't.... and my point was that Kibble can have an opinion but won't control the appointment of major sponsors solely, all parties involved in the running of the club will vote on these issues.

    So am I

    But I don't see why we need to be selling off 27% of the the club to have it,  Why can't the board arrange this partnership with the Kibble without selling this shareholding,

    Kibble said at the meeting a partnership can easily be broken, That's true when the interest of both parties clash, And that is the problem in this deal is, 

    For instance what if a Business like say BET365 with a turnover of 2.86 billion wanted to have their names on our shirts, and advertising all over the stadium, Representing their company a fan owed football club in Scotland etc etc ( and why wouldn't they I give them plenty every year) the kibble could scupper the deal if it went against their morals and beliefs, Some charities won't even accept lottery funding because they see it as gambling and immoral,  This is just one example where we could have a disagreement,  Our hands will tied in this deal, We could lose out on some serious sponsorship,   

    I don't think the Kibble should have a major say in the direction the football club should or shouldn't take, No one knows what's around the corner, Major decisions should be left to the people that matter most,  And ST MIRREN FC  should always come first 

     

    Surely our board wouldn't sign up to that? It's not the early 20th century. I can't see GS and co. accepting that as a condition to be honest.

  5. Fill in the 3 remaining corners

    Good idea though. In principle. The important part for me would not just be the filling in of the corners but also in creating more 7 day a week lettable space in the stadium. 

    I would think that would be a cert if the corners were filled in, bringing in extra income. I'd also prefer it to the OF getting our home stand so obviously 2 of the 3  filled in corners would be at the away end.

    Your logic is sound but has one precondition and that is that Johnson messes up. 

    He's already messed up by taking Scotland out of the EU. It's obvious that Scotland as a whole want change and they definitely don't want a Tory government. I'm not convinced that Johnson is as desperate as he makes out to retain the union either, i don't believe a word the man says.

    That's democracy for you. :rolleyes:

    I agree.... so give us another referendum and if not, why not? If we're such a drain on the UK economy and couldn't make it on our own then why are they so desperate to keep us? The tories like to keep their house in order so why would they want Scotland holding them back?

    Because this is supposed to be about Scottish Independence.

    It's supposed to be about civic nationalism and inclusiveness.

    It's supposed to be about positivity.

    It's supposed to be about everything the UK isn't.

    That banner fails on every level.

    It's not my preferred way of showing the Westminster government what we think, i'll agree on that.... but one thing it does is gets noticed, whether that's good or bad is debatable. I just hope the tories keep saying no to a referendum...see where that gets them.

    I doubt if the Tories will be anywhere near the March. 

    Hope none of you fall down the thousands of potholes that riddle the streets of Glasgow. 

    The SNP Council should be giving you smooth roads to walk on and me and others to drive on. 

    There were some tories there they had their union jacks😛 all 40 of them...
