  1. without plunging us instantaneously back into large amounts of debt.

    exactly......the 10000 hrs bid requires at least £1.5M worth of debt and there doesn't appear to be enough capital / revenue to cover it...as well as there appearing to be not enough cashflow to support the club itself. The last thing we want is the pay off to the selling consortium leaving the club in a weaker position than it is. The idea was supposed to be progression for the club - we only know about one bid and it certainly is not delivering progression....just a change of regime and a helluva lot of debt that they have failed to demonstrate that they can afford.

  2. richard replied to me on twitter re progress of bid today all he said was " offer was made today but as we know there are other offers on the table so we will just have to wait and see...................

    wonder what the other offers are ....

    Hopefully ones that can prove they can support the club financially moving forward.

  3. 10000 hours don't already hand out free tickets. No, I didn't contribute as I don't believe the scary stories being told. I would have of needed though.

    The club give out FREE tickets, if this money was used to BUY tickets for kids it would benifit the club financially and possibly give us new young fans.

    I'm sure Braehead PURCHASED a load of kids tickets a few years ago to hand out even though the club already give school kids freebies.

    So basically you just want to make a donation to the club so the nose in the troughers can enjoy free sausage rolls courtesy of misled fans who won't get a say in what happens to their cash. You must be trying to woosh everycnut. 1eye.gif

  4. I'd be really careful about making that kind of accusation, unless you have proof to back it up. Even SG stopped well short of saying that he even suspected that. He did indulge in a wee bit of insinuation, but it never went beyond that.

    as far as we know, K McG is still a saints fan with the best interests of the club at heart, albeit a little misguided in his handling of his bid

    After all the scaremongering and general bollox that has been associated with this shambles I don't think any Board member current, past or wannabe (excluding me thumbup2.gif ) has any credibility left. KMG deserves the benefit of the doubt now, especially after we saw he accusers try and get fans to back the newco. We've seen a well enough run club turn into a far fetched episode of Dynasty.

  5. Their looking for suggestions on how to spend it.

    Buy kids tickets to be handed out at local primary schools?

    They already hand out free tickets to primary schools. Are you part of the 10000 hrs blag the fans cash online marketing team. Just give the money back as it was taken under false pretenses.

  6. do you think we haven't asked ? problem is we know they must be holding talks on the issue but are not involving the members in any way (apart from the few they know personally) for this reason i'm out. dd cancelling imminent

    They aren't telling the people they know personally either. We all made the assumption that some fans weer in the know during the last period of silence. Then SMiSA burst that particular comfort bubble.

  7. I am back! Had a great two weeks in the micro-climate of the Inner Hebridies where the sun shone every day. Now back in rainy Paisley for the game smile.png .

    PICTURE 87 is Newark House in Manor Park Ave (Near Stanely Dam). B Listed. Built in 1900 with the architect being T Greenlees and substantially extended in 1931 with the architect being J Steel Maitland.

    I do not know anything else about this building except it is now converted to flats. Can anyone else give some history on it?

    Greenlees built it for his American wife......bluto worked on the foundations.
