spirit of 77

Proposals get launched with a photocall, press conference and a splash on all available media then? Well, on that basis, they are almost indistinguishable from publicity stunts

You mean it's not free??? Feck me! what a revelation

the only real issues are the load capacity of the roofs (and maybe walls) and the availability of a grid connection with sufficient capacity to take the output, but if it is a good idea then why does it have to be a CIC venture? Cant it go ahead as a SMFC venture? Young dick is on the board and is supposedly calling the shots. Is his duty as a director not to act in the best interests of the club? if so, why wait?

but so much was made of it at the time? heaven forbid it was just a publicity stunt to drum up support for the CIC. Bit of a PR howler to announce it as such a groundbreaking initiative when it wasnt even properly researched

Anyone know if there has been any progress on the installation of panels at the ground?

Going straight to the nuclear option? you know how to settle an argument

Be fair scott, remove the bunnet and there is not a lot to tell between the two of you

isnt it time you logged on as stuart dickson and started an argument with yourself?

A quick look at the thread on catholic schools from a couple of months ago will alter your thinking.

May i remind you that little dicky is not cash-rich enough to purchase the shareholding either, otherwise he would not be asking the likes of you for the money. Fact

I dont think that is true, it's a family-run firm in which he plays a role but is by no means the central figure

Just love this tune and i cant explain why

Well it would be a hell of a surprise to me.

because there is a chance that the changes are built on shifting sands, depite my cynicism i am not entirely anti-CiC, I just think the asking price for the shares is far too high and feel the uncertainty and lack of information produces a huge questionmark over the club. i suspect the stumbling block might be the hefty price tag on a club that few other people want to buy, why should anyone lend or grant such a hefty sum on a shareholding that is obviously not worth the asking price? These people are answerable on these decisions. The uncertainty could soon prove to harm the club as we do require a line of credit that relies as much on good faith and continuity of ownership as it does on banking rules. our bankers wont be happy if this drags on interminably, they will be much better informed than the support are but their patience will have it's limits. And we cant help, the people who are taking their time over the decisions are simply performing due-dilligence. They cannot and should not be swayed by the voices of vested interests, no matter how well-presented they might be. They might even be persauded not to back this initiative if they feel that the 10000 hours people are resorting to populist tactics to try and sway their thinking. It's really hard for anyone outside of the 10000 years committee to know how long it will take and what is required to get it over the line (if the will to do so is still there) Maybe if young Dick were to flash some of his own cash in exchange for control of the club there might be a change of tack

Mou-Mou (justified & ancient)

Touched a nerve or what? Will you be changing your user name to something that covers all the aliases? Like vicious dicko perhaps? The way the two of you seem to disagree but always seem to set each other up nicely for the next exchange certainly raises a few suspicions. You can call me names on here all you like, the fact that i know you would never do it to my face speaks volumes of your self-styled rampaging wit. If it wasn't so very predictable, i'd brace myself for the next barrage of petty insults and cheeky wee emoticons. However there is that thing known as real life to get on with.

I know several saints fans with the intellect and credibiliy to write a constitution. Unfortunately they are all too busy running businesses or pursuing successful careers to get involved in a CIC venture and have even less time to spunk away on co-ramblings with internet fantasists. But you and Sid can knock yourself out (or knock one out, if you prefer) on at least one count.

I used to have my lunch up there whilst attending to matters at the water treatment works. One of my favourite spots in the world

I think we should just close the forum on the basis that you know bloody everything and it is pointless for the rest of us to discuss anything.

Hardly surprising since it is not credit. It is, however, a form of contract.

In answer to my question, RA confirmed that they will not invoke recovery proceedings against those who do not pay. Which I thought was nice of him.
