TsuMirren Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'll be there tonight, with my mate Kevin actually deciding to appear this time. Some of you may remember Kevin from the 5 a side tournament at the old sports complex, he was the one who was spitting out his nuts after taking a shot in the knackers from point blank range. As for how to recognise us, I'm tall and he has an uncanny resemblance to Neil Lennon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if animal turns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folk would need an awful lot of labels . . . I was planning on going but I'm feeling pretty rough (not self inflicted I might add) so will probably follow it online.

St. Sid Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Im going...........................looking forward to hearing all those that hate the CIC / CO-OP moaning and what they plan to do. To be fair to the likes of SMiSA and those expressing concern about the CIC....they don't actually have to plan to do anything. It is up to 10000 Hours to prove that their proposal is properly financed and without risk. If they do great, if they don't then 10000 Hours should rightly be consigned to the bin or the deadline moved until such time as 10000 Hours can get their finder out of their arse and provide the details we require. The ball is in 10000 Hours court and they need to prove to us without a shadow of a doubt that they are a safe pair of hands for the club moving forward. Forget all the "fans are 10000 Hours bollox. That's marketing nonsense. The key to this is whether they can demonstrate that the finances work, and that the club IS secure and cannot be compromised by external bawbags such as the 1877 club members - who might turn out to be the existing consortium anyway. They have opted to tell us f"k all until tonight. I hope to be dazzled with wondrous detail tonight and wonder home to crack open the champagne. We just don't know yet. I do have a slight concern about a wee line in the email sent out this morning about tonight being the "final chance" to ask questions.....probably just slaberry marketing stuff - but a pretty shit statement to make in relation to fan ownership, especially as I've got aboput 10,000 questions. Hopefully tonight will help in filtering them done to a manageable number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully tonight will help in filtering them done to a manageable number. It will be the final chance to ask questions in person before a public meeting before the deadline for submission which is next Friday. The selling consortium want a final bid by next Friday and it's up to 10000Hours and the fans to get together and decide whether we want this or not. If the bid isn't backed in sufficient numbers it will be rejected and I genuinely can't see 10000Hours having the will to try again. This is it, we have one week to clear up any confusion or lacking information and get this done so we can get as many on board as possible.

I'd like an explanation from the consortium regarding why the deadline is in place. Will there be anyone there from the consortium tonight. The fans are being put under a lot of pressure to make a decision based on very little information. The process following the acceptance of the offer from the consortium is not very fan friendly either. Taking the ripping the pish hat off for a moment - this all smacks of the fans being pushed into making a decision. I'll keep an open mind tonight though. That's all we can do.

Dibbles old paperboy Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Went along tonight, missed the first 30 minutes due to a prior commitment and was able to speak with RA after the main meeting closed about my concerns about Rangers and sporting integrity and where St Mirren stood on the issue and now feel reassured enough by his answers to proceed with re-submitting my direct debit.

I don't get how a sports journalist from The Herald can't pick up the phone, speak to the rumoured bidders to confirm their bids and then tell us who they are?

Guest somner9 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 If the selling consortium who have been at pains to steward the club these years back them as bonafide fit and proper potential owners of SMFC lets be having them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't. the two bidders have confidentiality clauses with the club. where in the article does it say that the herald knows who these people are?

Are you seriously claiming that a sports journalist at The Herald can't put one and one together and follow through using their investigative journo bollox?
