Not gonna lie. If this is true and I have my doubts. I would take this over fan ownership any day of the week.
Fan ownership is cracking but funny money getting tossed at the club is just too good to turn down.
True.
Ask any Hun how good it is to be owned by... Well.... Who the f**k knows...?

Well I never. Apparently building a safe modern stadium with a design that has an excellent safety record, where everyone can be accommodated is "the lowest common denomintor". I suppose a far higher standard would be the kind of stadium where 96 people could be crushed to death, or even the kind of stadium which scared the life out of many who were at that Scottish Cup tie v Celtic in the 80s. You know the kind of stadium where kids and adults would regularly have to jump over the wall at the front to escape surges and crushing. I absolutely understand nostalgia but ripping out seats to go back to those days would be recklessly stupid
I guess I should defer to your expertise on "recklessly stupid".

Even weirder than a weird (and frankly stupid) concept, the only people with the potential to sit comfortably in a cold rigid plastic seat in midwinter in the pishing cold Scottish rain would be, for example, a fat pipefitter who is unable to function normally as a normal fitba supporter might do.
Normal would be standing, moving about, shuffling, stamping your feet, shifting away from, for example, a fat pipefitter.
Why is it that people who have neglected their carcasses to the extent they are unable to stand for 90 minutes, feel the need to impose THEIR incapacity on the rest of the spectating public.
Shut the f**k up. Please.

I'm with Buddiein EK and LosingMy religion on this.
As an MP, she doubtless had a thriving Twitter account.
Her husband rightly resorted to getting a message out by this medium - in a sweet but short (140 characters or less) message.
No worse nor better than the death notices in the PDE.
I am almost sure that the gurners on here were not his target audience.

As one of the mugs that chipped in my dosh, why should I be excluded from the group hug?Fantastic.
What a historic day for our club.
Did you notice that? OUR club!
Okay, not quite ours just yet, but it is now as good as.
Massive credit to everyone who has worked so hard to make this happen. Take a bow folks. I doff my cap to each and every one of you.
I'm also immensely proud of everyone who has signed up. This is a big commitment, and it demonstrates just how important the club is to so many people.
A wee open day to invite everyone along to the stadium for a group hug is in order (no tongues, though, and definitely no 69s!).
Yours etc
A 69 year old.
Ps I endorse the Drew.
Massive aknowledgement of the smisa effort.

You should not look at this from a uk perspective.
Over here in rather sunny Monument Valley, one can absolutely see the US perspective.
Possessing guns and the right to "defend yourself" is the only way it can possibly work in this vast country.
The fact that Canada is not so f**ked up, not killing as many of their nation, their own people, does not possess a fraction of the weapons held in the US...
...is completely incomprehensible to the majority of the population here. Sigh.

London would be the perfect venue.

So...
Who have Saints drawn?
Or...
Who is Saints likely to be drawn with?
-
FFS
That is all.

Missed this news.
An excellent signing.
-
Get in!!!
This genuinely surprised me.
And pleased me.
On the other hand, the "Guard of Honour" was a f**kin embarrassment.
-
It's a clumpany financed by dodgy money, chaired by a guy with criminal convictions, given endless favours and blind eyes turned by a corrupt SFA.
What honour should be offered to such an organisation, with a squad of full-time overpaid players who crawled slowly through the lower leagues, (even though they were a completely new organisation and should never have been admitted in front of other genuine and worthy clubs), and still couldn't do it as quickly as Gretna did AND were gubbed by Hearts (a club whose fans bought it OUT of potential liquidation) last year?
Where's the honourable achievement in that?
And do I even need to mention the bigots that support that shite?
Why are Buddies even using the word "honour" in the same sentence as sevco?
Fuxake!

"Exuberant, celebratory, ordinary" = lemmings? Apparently so in your world. Just people who kept on pushing and squeezing and crushing and killing.
Ofcourse since that event government has moved to make stadia safer and to ensure we never have another Hillsborough. Yet still some really stupid lemmings want to rip the safety features back out so everyone can stand at the football, no doubt swaying and crushing just like in the good old days.....no doubt so they can blame the government and the police next time disaster strikes.
"too thick, narrow-minded, mendacious, greedy or self-serving to understand the bigger picture. (See any of Dixon's posts as example.)"
Apparently so.
You still don't get it.
It's always all about you.
If only there was some form of governance that could curtail your self abuse...
-
Why do we have government, politicians, polis...?
Because in current society, the majority of people are too thick, narrow-minded, mendacious, greedy or self-serving to understand the bigger picture. (See any of Dixon's posts as example.)
In the case of Liverpudlians happily going to see their football team that afternoon, how could they possibly have foreseen the horrors. They were naturally exuberant, celebratory, ordinary... They expected to travel home later - victorious or vanquished - but safely in a civilised society, for which they paid their taxes and invested their lives.
Fair enough. In a complex and ever-changing world, we invest power in govt and cops to ensure that events such as Hillsborough do not come to pass. In much the same way we trust 'our betters' to keep the roads and railways safe, our borders secure, and our futures reasonably happy. Those people afforded those powers of control and governance, by and large, are better rewarded than those of us that they oversee.
When they f**k-up, as fate asserts they regularly do, their failures should/must be called to account. The polis and govt, in this case as in others, connived to avoid responsibility. Though I might not like the idea of individuals shouldering all the blame, they can't be absolved. Misusing power and responsibility should be a blame shared by individual cops and politicians as well as those further up the food chain.
Unlawful killing was the right result.
Fuck 'em. And the likes of Dixon who minimise the system's failures and, as in this case, diminish the deaths of those unfortunates that the state failed on that day.

"Now Tony saw his workplace as a factory. “It’s a profit factory where we’re doing piecework,” he said. All these decades after university, his working life was suddenly dictated by people who had little respect for his education or his profession. “The standard of education of these managers … some of them can’t even spell prescription; they put ‘quiet’ when they mean quite.” "To be fair to you both that is quiet funny......see what I did there

It's nothing to lose, but any chance of me buying into a fans takeover (for a cheap and otherwise easy £144pa) would die at even a hint of guard of honour for a new, non-tax paying bigot nonentity sevco club being "accepted".
f**k'em.

kilpatricks.Is the guy from Ashtree not meant to be creating a Hotel at the old Social Work?

Shallow, stupid thread.
The Ashtree is the best, most hospitable place in which I've stayed in Paisley.
The guy Stewart is passionate about the town and its regeneration.
If anyBuddie actually read the PDE report they'd see that (apart from printing some of the same shite twice) that the cooncil and the remaining BID members are full of praise and gratitude to the guy for getting the very idea up and running.

I think that's a bit more than bluto normally charges. I'll let him know...I know a bloke in Panama who will pay you a fiver, might even throw in a free showing of the 2013 Panama Cup Final for you as a wee sweetener.
You in?
-
I worried about that. Seriously. That would be well keichy!2-1....Shanks and Gallagher....3456.
The day will be remembered as the day SMFC won the league for sevco.
Maybe it will be called off. Awfy wet, the day...
And more forecast...
-
Whose.Might turn up, who's seat do I sit in or do I get allocated a seat?
-
at least we won't have that problem next season with no old firm in the league we are playing in.
Why ever not?
That's displaying the true naivety of a Scottish fitba fan.
CFC can hire the place and rebadge it at any time.
Sevco could even buy the club, rename it and the ground, when their current premises are sold off or condemned as unfit for purpose.
The name of the game (it's not a sport) is money.
There are no rules, just the SFA's right to make things up to suit the needs of the only two important groups of fans.

If the Qataris are anything like knowledgeable,with regard tae Oor fitba, then they'd already be aware that there's a sleeping giant just up the M8.
With 500million fans.
And it would only cost threepence.
But they could haggle...
