  1. Livingston Caledonian Thistle! Acording to The Herald thats what the anouncer at Fir Park anounced ICT as on Saturday! Is this true. I wasnt there myself.

    The paper also has this quote from Davie Irons about the size of the crowd which was just over 1000.

    "What do you expect from a village of 3000 people playing against a team that are the furthest north in the country," he said. "I hear these comments about our fans but for us to be asked to build a stadium for 6000 people in a village of 2000 is just ridiculous."

    Perhaps you could equally ask why theres a team from a "village of 3000 (or is it 2000) people" in the SPL at all. After all there only their because of one mans money and not a lot to do with Gretna as a community. Looks like the Green Gretna (Gretna Green?) Stadium could end up as a white elepahnt.

  2. But if we can increase the corporate attendance by even just 200 we could make an extra  ?16,000 a game if they're charge ?80 each. 

    Simple as that eh?

    As far as I know their already struggling to fill the present corperate places at bogstanderd games never mind fill 200 odd more just by magic. Look, for 4 or 5 games as year against Dons and OF the stadium is a near 7500 sell out. Otherwise your talking about 3500 to 4500 fans or something like that. Most of the time their are already 3000 to 4000 empty seats so what the hells the point in spending a million or two to add a couple of thousand more. Fair enough theres not enough space in the main stand for things like offices and so on but theres no way Caley could justify huge expense on another stand which would either be empty or would make the present ones even emptier.

  3. And Im apauled/ apaled/ appalled that 24 hours after a famous victory some people still seem to be more interested in whinging about things in the club. Theres at least three moaning threads on the go just now. Are some of you people never happy or do you just enjoy having something to girn about.

  4. I agree with tha last sentance but many of the issues which bring children and famlies before the systwm are rooted in poverty, relative or otherwise, and it would certainly help if those affected by those issues were dealt with by people more akin to their peer group.

    And not a few out and out NEDS as well?

  5. we are concerned because he has stated that he would love a job back home

    So Robbo's diplamatic skills dont seem to have improved then. He goes to a new post in Ireland and immediatly tells everybody that he wants a job back home.

  6. I think your off the mark there caleyboy. If it was just spin I dont think the player would have been brought to Inverness for two days to speak to Bennet and Christie. Agreed they need a defender and theyve said as much. Theyve said they want two strikers and a defender. They have one striker in MacDonald. The Austrian boy is a defender but an injury has delayed his trip here till the 16th. Wyhatever happens about a defender their still looking for one striker so why not check out Nicolae. They even went as far as trying to get a sponser for him.

    Seems you cant please some of the people any of the time.

  7. If your sure your 100% sure of the laws of libel defamation then carry on discussing this. If not then be VERY carefull about what you say here unless you want to run the risk of a nasty letter from Ritchie Harts lawyers. Theres a lot of legal red tape about this and I think its very risky indeed to discuss it publicly when its at this stage.

  8. I would have thought that champions Celtic v Killie would have been first choice for Setanta who seem have theyre noses slighly further up Celtics @*se than Ranger's. The Edinburgh derby might possibly be second choice although they might have to think long and hard about ignoring the OF on the first day of the season.

  9. Rosscoe23 - look at the Average Home Crowd thread.

    7500 seats in 3 stands at the moment - average attendance 4878 or 64.8% full. So whos going to use the 4th stand you want? Would their even be many people in it for Old Firm games these days? Not judging from attendences at Dunfermline, Mothwerwell etc. v OF.
