2becks Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 MarreZ I've already declared my position months ago. I've absolutely no interest in standing for election to any board. Apart from the fact I'd have no chance of being elected anyway, and not wanting any of the hassle that I think would come with the role, I am also very heavily involved in our own Wishaw project, I have next to no spare time, the wife would cut my balls off if I volunteered for anything else and working shifts would mean I'd never be able to attend meetings. I'm more than happy to make suggestions or to colaborate to make both 10000 hours and What we are doing at Wishaw a success but you can rest easy MarreZ - I'm out. Just occasionally you do post something with which I agree. Green dot for it. Now excuse me I think I have a furball, well there's certainly something sticking in my throat!

Stuart Dickson Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Stuart, Is it with Wishaw juniors? If so, say hi to Iain Rankin for me. Always had a lot of time for him when he was with Newmains. I suppose a CIC could work with the Juniors, Wishaw would obviously tie up with Motherwell. Kenny, I'll PM you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktf Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Pretty much mate, the funding process has dragged on far longer than anyone would have liked or envisaged at the start but there is little that can be done to rush them on. At the end of the day the biggest risks were either; A. Not getting the funding approved B. The selling consortium losing patience or another buyer coming in Since B hasn't happened you have to think that A hasn't happened either ! Think another couple of weeks max and it will all be done but I have thought that before and been wrong ! Div, once it's all approved, If my experience of these things is anything to go by, I think there needs to be another couple of steps walked through... It may be stuck at one of those stages too.

pozbaird Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) I believe Richard is sending out an email this afternoon but suffice to say no meeting taking place tomorrow. Cheers Div, I haven't missed an e-mail then. I know it's difficult, and I'm not having a pop at anyone, but for a lot of people (me included), not even knowing if it's on or off as I type this at 2pm the day before it was slated to take place is, well, far from ideal.

Nah I tried Sheridan's Swingers Place but it was full of manky Communists and Socialists rutting like pigs. It kind of reminded me of my younger days at Shuttle Street. I wouldn't have thought it was St Sid's scene either. I mean surely any poor girl who drew him as the short straw would give up swinging after a five second fumble with him....

The Silent Majority Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 St Mirren are becoming a trading arm of a CIC. You said that St. Mirren were beciming a CIC. You said that the CIC could use the training facility at Ralston tp generate revenue. You said that St. Mirren were £800k+ in debt. NONE of this true. You are totally clueless. And the funniest thing is that, after years of slagging Stewart Gilmour, you are helping to send him and his mates off laughing all the way to the bank with £2 million in their back pockets.

Its better than that.....not only is StuDick contributing to SG's golden handshake he will also end up represented by him on the CIC Members BoD. StuDicks plans for using the Ralston for local diddy teams is a complete non starter. If he had actually done his homework he would know that. We can attract significant fees for its use from larger organisations. His plans for individual teams becoming CICs is not a great one either. Youth football can attract some revenues; however SMFC has already got access to that. The organisations we want to business with, are ones that can attracts the highest level of funding. Whilst Wishaw is certainly scumbag central, a wee football team would be slim pickings in comparison to the Community Members we have signed up and those that we are courting. The best thing for local clubs would be for them to look at replicating the CIC model; however as StuDick will find out it is not quite as easy as he is trying to make out.

Whilst Wishaw is certainly scumbag central, a wee football team would be slim pickings in comparison to the Community Members we have signed up and those that we are courting. I've got to say there is an interesting paradox developing here. Contrary to your beliefs I understand exactly how the club can secure NHS and Social Care grants using the facilities at Ralston. I'm also perfectly aware about the bid process for education grants as well. After all I cited the model at Spartans some time ago on here. However whilst all of that is fantastic for raising revenue for the CiC, it isn't going to put more supporters in the seats at St Mirren Park. Now whilst I couldn't give a flying chuff about St Mirren I've shown, on the back of a fag packet, how St Mirren - not 10000hours - St Mirren, could benefit from having just 10 juvenile football clubs as Community Members. I've shown how that could deliver as many as 650 SFA Qualified youth scouts free of charge, scouting around 30,000 youth footballers of all ages from right across the central belt. I've shown how it would give St Mirren the opportunity to target around 3,100 football mad kids. I've even shown how the model would work by giving them tickets to see their local team play against St Mirren and even better than that I've created a model that would mean there isn't any need at all for St Mirren to give up time at Ralston to accommodate a team from Wishaw, because no LFDA opponent would entertain playing in a location so far outside of the region. More than that, it doesn't have to be an either / or. It's simply one small idea that I think might be worth exploring.....yet St Stupid here is so desperate to rubbish it and do it down that he hasn't even noticed that his alternative won't put any extra football fans through the turnstyle. ....and still people think I'm being harsh when I point out St Mirren fans are too stupid to make the most of the opportunity presented....

Thankfully we have you Stuart and your voice of reason. As you were once a St Mirren fan and stupid you found a way of ditching your club to become a highly intelligent being. Now we have your plan for youth football I think we should ditch the fans board, REA and SG and just let you get on with it.

St. Sid Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Now whilst I couldn't give a flying chuff about St Mirren......... Your behaviour is quite bizarre. You are like one of those ex-husbands that just can't accept that it is over. So you haunt your poor ex-Mrs trying to undermine every aspect of their life in the hope that one day they might just buy into your deluded belief that their life would be much better with you it. So many supporters have tried interventions to try and steer you away from your fruitless mission to try and prove that you are right and everyone else is wrong. All you need to do is listen to us and then set about making your grovelling apologies to St Mirren FC and its supporters - oh and desist from behaving like a creepy nob.

spirit of 77 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 signing and submitting the direct debit form commits you to one years subscription - £120. SG has a framed copy of your d.d. form on his mantelpiece. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are going to go back on your commitment to sign up for a year then......kind of makes a mockery of your usual highfalutin nonsense about people stealing your business ideas. No wonder nobody wants to do business with you. Edited August 18, 2011 by St. Sid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
