Tracy Barlow Loyal Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 A church? A church at a football ground? A church at St Mirren park? FFS this CIC must be desperate for money. We could have church on a sunday, scouts on a monday, BB's on a tues, devil worshipping on a wednesday, bingo on a thursday and hairdressing/basket weaving on a friday with Saturday usually booked for football! Anyway I hope this "church" will become fully paid up members on the CIC at the £10,000 per annum. You forgot about the Swingers Club on a Wednesday night and the Gay-Husband Swapping on a Friday afternoon
blackandwhite saints Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Badly in need of some sort of St Mirren themed pub/bar. Would be packed every match day as there is no competition close by. It's a no brainer.
Tracy Barlow Loyal Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 It's completely negative and small-minded that people would think this is a bad or wrong move. The whole idea behind the CiC model is that we increase the revenue of the club, one of the major strategies for this is to maximise the income from the stadium facilities. There really aren't any other businesses who would need conference facilities on a weekly basis, especially on a Sunday. This equates to regular income, on a day and time when no-one else would use the place. Try to put your religious prejudices aside and consider the good of the club and a local organisation. Also the opportunity to increase the fan base with members of the church and the kids that probably go. I can't see any negatives in this. And I have no agenda, if it was the Renfrewshire gay and lesbian Subbuteo society or the Paisley muslim carpet bowls team, I couldn't care less. Regular income and potentially more fans... Everyone's a winner! Where do they usually hold their meets?

chico Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Church groups do a fair bit for community, my wee one goes to playgroup at one a couple of times a week for example. If it uses part of the ground on a day when the club don't use it then fair enough, it's not going to be forced baptisms in the dressing rooms or anything wacko.

pozbaird Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I can exclusively reveal the first church meeting at the ground is to discuss the state of our town. Titled 'What would happen if God came to Paisley today?' ... He'd play in the reserves until Higdon got injured. The old ones are the best.
Big Jake Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 What about Ralston ? I think we have a plunge pool there. Could we not have baptisms for born agains in that ?

alanmurray24 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 mmmmmmmmmm problem?????? Surely early Sunday kick off v Old firm for TV will not allow this to take place........ Cant imagine church would be happy with all the noise from outside
Sonny Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 mmmmmmmmmm problem?????? Surely early Sunday kick off v Old firm for TV will not allow this to take place........ Cant imagine church would be happy with all the noise from outside Do not know about this one but not all Churches meet on a Sunday morning. And for those that mentioned religion and football don't mix there may be an element of truth in that. Most bigots I know do not go to Church so no problem! We should welcome all groups that want to use the stadium and respect people's beliefs.

faraway saint Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 You forgot about the Swingers Club on a Wednesday night and the Gay-Husband Swapping on a Friday afternoon I could make the Wednesday, Mr Panda is right up for the Friday afternoon. Are season tickets valid?
Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 Whether I agree with what any church (happy clappy or otherwise) does is irrelevant. Unless they are directly having a negative effect on other individual fans, I don't see what harm they are doing (anyone?). The same goes for any other organisation using our facilities. Indeed.
FTOF Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) We should welcome all groups that want to use the stadium and respect people's beliefs. Indeed. I indulge in a mild form of devil worship before every home game,as I offer my soul to Satan in exchange for a win.* That should help to offset any future god bothering within the stadium. *I am however a tad disappointed with the return this season,although the last couple of games have seen auld nick deliver the goods.

We should welcome all groups that want to use the stadium and respect people's beliefs. Absolutely. The difference with us and religion in the Old Firm is that we don't favour any religion. The bigots do, and we should treat them just as any other community interest wishing to use our facilities. All are welcome. Except Nazis/old firm agendas. They are not.
BigH Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 This is the most pathetic idea I have heard....must be a wind up!!! Last thing we need is to be associated with a church or any type of religion.

If god told the nice people to give us some money and they can use our facilities, who are we, as lesser mortals, to argue?
RossTheBoss Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 This is the most pathetic idea I have heard....must be a wind up!!! Last thing we need is to be associated with a church or any type of religion. Why? They pay us for using space, we get money. Would you be ok with the Scouts or Boys Brigade using the hall? If so, what's the difference?

So where is my green dot then?

Last thing we need is to be associated with a church or any type of religion. I'll respect your views and in return maybe you would like to respect those that do follow a religion. You have a choice. So does everyone else.
