Miss Saint

ye didn't even drink the stuff til someone with taste introduced ye tae it ya big peroni drinking muppet :-)

If you haven't tried Passport (a blend), I'd recommend it. Very good indeed.
My Hogmanay bottle is a Cardhu Gold Reserve. I bought it as a wee present to myself for being a good boy (most of the time....).
Our eldest got us a bottle of Isle of Harris Gin, which I'm looking forward to trying (possibly to warm me up after the game tomorrow night).

A good mate of mine bought me a dram of black bottle the other night (in this pub a dram was a double) and whilst I seldom refuse a dram I just always assumed black bottle was a peaty Islay blend. I was surprised to find it was very smooth. Apparently they have changed the recipe and are going back to the Speyside taste. If you like your whisky smooth like I do give it a whirl. My fecking head was next morning but......

Bus for Livvy is sold oot. I've nae idea how much it is or when it leaves ... but I will be on it COYS

Without knowing exactly what was said between the set of fans and the club. It seems a ridiculous 'punishment' from the club. If the set of fans have apologised and said they won't do it/offend/whatever again then club statement if needed (if someone has complained) saying said fans have been told off, won't happen again, banner banned blah blah lets get on with the fibta.
Again without knowing the full convos - for me personally the boycott seems daft.
Still tho - a season long ban on all flags and banners seems nonsense!

Got tickets for The Killers for a week on Monday - happy! A wee night with Sir Ricky Ross and his Piano the evening before - awful happy!

So I have now been to the club...only fair I post my views!
On arrival, as I was giving our names, Alan Wardrop appeared and introduced himself and took us up to the bar...nice.
BUT before we even got there - on the stairs - ooft the heat! Spoke to someone who has been there from start and said he noticed it too coming up the stairs but not usually like that - thank god cos the place was well warm.
Alan told us it had a new layout as he had had the chance of some free tables and chairs. My thoughts - mix the tables up a bit, split them up - in rows like school or a bowling club - another member agreed, he said they were better than the couches but didn't like the row lay out.
Big screen - great - no sound - weird fitba pub, fitba on and no sound???
Bar - staff great, area - hmmm looked a bit sparse and for the love of Hugh Murray get a couple of bottle openers attached to the bar - one girl after the game (when bar full) stoating about trying to find the handheld bottle opener - get it sorted Gus! Prices - £1.50 for a can of juice for the wean - sorry but feckin shocking! I've already said I think the prices should be way lower when you are paying a monthly subscription but I didn't realise it would be £1.50 for a can - that's just not on IMO.  £3.30 a bud - I don't do bottles in pubs  but didn't fancy the fosters.....got a fosters after the game £3.40 well its 2 buds innit? BUT  - its just no that guid is it???????????  GET SOMETHING ELSE ON DRAUGHT!!!!
Overall - I'm sure it will get better as we get to know more people, didn't have much atmosphere but again prob as season goes along. I've not hid the fact I think its overpriced and if it wasn't for the wee man I wouldn't be there and I still stand by that.  I really do think the bar prices are wrong for something you are already paying for. 
Signing in - again I think every member should be able to sign 2 people in free.  Say I said to my pal Darn and his boy to come in for a bit before game - 2 sign ins and 2 cans of coke £9 - why would you?
Suggestion - it has been mentioned that folk signed up but don't use it. Say one week me and the wee man cant go - so bar getting no money from me that week, let me pass it on to someone else to use - they come in and spend and get to try it?
Early days....and im sure it will come good but honestly GET SOMETHING OTHER THAN FECKIN FOSTERS...its just no a guid pint!!!

Yeah that's great - but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look for value/a good deal or get it.
I don't mean blaring music or fitba sound just something - fitba without commentary is weird I think.  Anyway I had a Cpl of pints of Tennents before last nights game and £3.10 - result - guid auld Glennifer.

Agree with pretty much all of that, fair and constructive criticism!
The place has improved a lot and continues to do so but always scope for more change. The Fosters thing is unfortunate as it seems to be the official beer of the club. Guess that means it's cheap but I'm with you, it's far from my favourite.
Keep hoping they will sort the sound out for the fitba, it is a bug bear of mine as is the lack of any music. One or the other would make a big difference to the atmosphere.
Couple of times they've had Cambo in DJing before and after and it was so much better.

I get it Div it's a business...but I don't agree with it at all. It's aimed at the business folk anyway and they get VAT free so it's us actual just fans that get hit the hardest. I don't go to hospitality often but when I do I personally think it should be the same price no matter who we are playing, I'm only there to see the St.Murn. Anyhoo between BTB and 1877 club - I'm skint! Noo -is it time for Crappielow yet?????

The flaw in your argument lies in purporting Shull's views to be represenative of everyone who has an issue with a particular price or pricing policy

Where did you get that from?  Complaining about a price is tantamount to saying that budgets should be cut?
 
i don't recall anyone saying they wanted to cut in to budgets, in fact the tone is positive.  if the product on offer was value for money then more would partake more often.  Supply and demand would dictate that you then expand availability of the offering whilst maintaining prices and improving quality.

When we were in the SPL entrance at the turnstile to a Cat A game was more expensive than B or C games.This doesn't happen in the Championship so why should it happen at Hospitality?
