Lets get two corners filled in for standing; a half decent tannoy system put in; tv's in the pie areas for showing the game when your getting the bovril; and maybe a new 4k large screen for the scoreboard. Have I missed anything? Oh, heated seats. Corners filled in and space underneath rented out to Social Enterprises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Bloody he'll why is it the same posters that always have a cotton bull story to grind. Why not grow a pair of bulls balls making an appointment with Gordon Scott to take up your over the top imagination with the man who can give you a straight answer.

Mykey Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I think we should cut LPM some slack, Skyview might be alright now in the financial sector but when the machines take over and they start making all those terminators you will all be sorry.

I would like them and the club to explain these points to us. And i am hoping that any investment in our club will be subject to scrutiny by the proper government authorities. Why does the club need to explain any deals that they conclude. The Directors of the business are accountable to the shareholders and only them. They make decisions fir the good of the club. That is their legal duties. There are rules in place for the shareholders to call the Directors to task if required. The fall down is that GLS is the majority shareholder and he can do what he basically wants. It's time for certain sections of our fans to let the qualified people get on and do their job and not question or expect to be notified on every decision that goes on. On on the flip side if you have any genuine concerns on any of the connections that the club have you are within you rights to table them. I would however expect that before concerns were raised that proper due diligence be undertaken.

If you have more substance to back up your angle, why not share? Crying wolf again? what's the point of waiting till the AGM? If you have something worth sharing, I reckon there'll be at least 1299 others interested in what you've got to say, if it really is worth hearing.

TsuMirren Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Nowhere does it say that Skyview are partners in the club itself, it does though say that the club has entered in to a partnership with them. It's blatantly obvious there's nothing untoward going on and that it's a standard sponsorship partnership. I also see no reason why SMISA should have been aware of Skyview or even Joma until the announcement was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like them and the club to explain these points to us. And i am hoping that any investment in our club will be subject to scrutiny by the proper government authorities. There has been absolutely no announcement that Skyview or even anybody else has invested in the club. Why would any sponsor need to explain why they want to sponsor us? For some unknown reason we seem to have become a club whom we can't just allow good things to happen to. An International sponsor comes in, if we work with them it may open other doors and that could help the development of the club and the fan ownership that we're working towards.. But no, we see people come on and question them instead of looking to work with them. The time spent on this crippled hare of a thread could have been spent engaging with them, asking if they'd like to work with SMISA. Instead we see some mythical investment discussed, whilst a man who was unable to get his deal over the line under various guises offers his advice.

He wasn't the only person who thought your use if the term "to launder money" was rather, and I'm being careful here as you seem a sensitive soul, unnecessary and way out of context. I'll leave it at that, you've had to cope with enough upset for one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Big Front Door, The Cooncil, and West College Scotland are just three other sponsors of the Club. Maybe we need Columbo to perform a wee investigation on all sponsors and see what he can find - guilty unless you prove your innocence seems to be the way ahead. Or why not just quadruple the SMiSA donations and members so we do not need any sponsors at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are however some on here who have the opinion that because they pay their £12/month that they are entitled to have a say in all of the decisions in the running of the club and how the money is spent.
