Not doubting the accuracy of your info LG - but how is this possible if, as you said in an earlier post "it is clearly stated in the SPL Ground Rules that standing in an all seated stadium is forbidden" ? Either it is allowed and anyone can establish a section like this or it is not allowed and Rangers are not only breaking but also flouting the rules. If they do allow a sizeable proportion of their fans to stand I would think they might be the first club to support the notion of adjusting this rule ... anything else would be hypocritical in the extreme. i think you'll find that over the past season they have not been allowed to stand all the time and this has caused some disquiet in that section with fans thrown out every week. they have the same issues as us in that the away fans of some clubs (green and red to nearly name 2). i suspect that we would have the support of certainly this half of the old firm but also the rest of the spl. what does seem to happen is that there is sensible stewarding and policing at some grounds. we experienced it ourselves at hib with both home and away fans standing throughout the game with no problems.

not long home and it was a smashing night. all the first team were there and all the coaching staff too... big thanks to them all for making the effort. there were loads of young kids there who were just over the moon to meet their heros! given that it was a week night there was a tremendous turnout from the supporters but fingers crossed for next year... there was a short question and answer session (cats and tongues spring to mind..) but the younger half of Us2 kicked it off by asking Craig was he going to stay or go... Craig - ever the diplomat - said he would be making the decision at the end of the season... so a week to wait. and well done the young one for not embarrassing your mother! charlie gave a wee chat and thanked the team for their efforts this year and wished Darren all the best at his new club :007: the ssshhhh! :music01: ssshhhh! was mentioned and it was viewed favourably if you know what i mean.... not to much was said about the recent past but... :004: charlie is all in favour of anything that will improve the atmosphere at the ground.... the caleyjags.com award went to graham and was presented by young callum ferguson the caleythistleonline one to Barry and presented by Caley100 who also gave barry a bottle of grecian 2000! the supporters club one went to grant. peter was there taking photos so i'm sure they'll be up on cj.com as soon as.... a big thank you to all those who came tonight - it really was good fun and shows that we can still be the sort of club where we can have an evening with the players and sit and chat to them like you could to the 'boy next door'! thanks too to Liz and the staff for setting up clearing up and feeding us.. and finally a big thank you to all the committee for their hard work over the year.

yep nice and helpful RiG but we also need to accept that some of the staff on the reception too a fair amount of abuse on Saturday which is not necessary - it's not their fault. folk should also be aware that some of these calls were recorded. i'm not pointing any fingers here and know that emotions were high but things aren't always as black and white as they seem.... at the end of the day there are ways and ways to complain and to be heard...

i can understand your frustrations Harry but there are processes that need to be gone through. the club cannot respond without going through these. they have responded so far in that they held a meeting with the trust so that we could put our concerns to them. they now must go and investigate these and will get back to us. 'blame' cannot be apportioned until these investigations are completed the stewarding issue is very much at the forefront of things too. again, it all needs to be looked at and the club were (i'm scared to use this word in case you take it the wrong way but...) sympathetic to our concerns regarding this issue and you can rest assured that it will not be let lie. i think you will find that the club WILL listen to what has to be said. i think in many ways you are being critical of DJS's use of language and not looking at what he is actually saying - but maybe i'm wrong...

happy birthday andrew - count me in for that drink! :021:

IHE is alive and well. He sent a txt saying he'd reached Edinburgh safely and was having a light refreshment while waiting for his train home. he also mentioned the fact that he was sitting down....

as L_G says there are many guests on here many of whom in my opinion my well be press. there are also a few 'new' posters on the board looking for folk to send them copies of and correspondence with the club regarding this to them. maybe i'm just a bit paraniod but i would be very wary of doing this as you have absoluetly no idea of who these people are. if you have concerns and wish to email the club do so and copy the email to the supporters trust who will be dealing with this in the proper manner and will let you know the outcome of their discussions in the correct manner.

i would be very very careful of what you say to the media - they have a knack of twisting your words without you knowing it. if you have an issue get in touch with the trust - they will not be brushing anything under the carpet. if - once they have dealt with it you're still not satisfied then by all means do as you wish... just a word of caution.........

Jagster - and anyone else who wants.... just a wee thought.... anyone wanting to complain about what happened today please please contact the Supporters Trust. we are trying to gather as much info about what happened today as we can and are hoping to have a meeting with the club to discuss this as soon as possible. people all over the ground could not believe what was happening in section A today. when you do get in touch with us please be honest in your assessment of what happened and it would be best if you could when it's fresh in your mind. i have already spoken to some folk today and they are going to do this. you can contact the Trust through the website on http://www.ictsupporterstrust.co.uk/

just to say good luck to all those taking part this year. they left inverness about 7 this morning on the first part of the journey. take care folks and keep in touch - hopefully CD will keep us up to date with progress.... :021: :021: :021: (Cheeky Edit to add a couple of links - CaleyD) Highland March Auction on Ebay - Clicky Clicky Chance to Humiliate One of the Marchers - Clicky Clicky Make a Donation - Clicky Clicky

great night had by one and all! there were upwards of 60 there. plenty players turned up too. we tried to keep buffy away from them as it would seem that she had an ulteriar motive in mind when she was introduced to them - something to do with something going on tomorrow??? :004: big thanks to all those involved in the organisation especially L_G and to those who donated raffle prizes. :clapping03: :clapping03: good luck to the 2 mascot winners tomorrow Avie and Connor - enjoy your day! :021:

:001: :001: :004: (couldn't find a wee pipesmoking smiley in a deer stalker hat...) hopefully there wouldn't be too many to move - they may want to stay and join in....

def an all ticket game CD i'm afraid...

cage springs to mind....

:023: :004:

:010: :010: :010: :010: that's really spooky HD - was just going to post the exact same thing.... but not so eloquently put.. :001: though i would think there would be no promotion/relegation like happened with falkirk... so if you can read my mind - have i been using my new phone yet??

Most off the corporate types ain't interested in the team probably not football either, just there for the jolly, and to be seen to be in the right company. problem is that if there is a ball like that then the chances are that the team will be expected to be there rather than with the common man.... however - i do believe there is one man on the inside on our side...... :004:

given that the last home game of the past 2 seasons has been an away one it might be time to bite the bullet and book somewhere as soon as the fixture list is out.... must be due a home one next season.... only thing then would be if the Club decide to do 'something' that day too.... :007:

always found that bit a wee tad strange myself RBC!

if it could have we would have clacher believe me. unfortunately the team are on holidays....

shame there's not many chinese left though... :007:

That would sum up my feelings also. I remember the paint tin episode and didnt he also have some kind of incident with a water bottle somewhere else ?? Having said that, if Charlie were to leave (and this is not a call for his head !!) then the wee ned is probably one of those you might consider based on his ability rather than personality. If you were going for personality then I would choose Yogi Hughes ... he gets good banter with the fans and doesnt seem to be doing all that badly. With Yogi though, you would also have to get someone to do the interviews as his are cringeworthy (when understandable). i remember thinking that he'd be a great manager for us when we were playing clydebank many moons ago.... and a good shout for yogi too... BUT Charlie's my pick just now :021:
