Mckay....small "k"

Pretty sure I said within the part of my post that you quoted that it was something that was being addressed. Fatalism would be doing nothing!! What I should have maybe been clearer on was that it related to only one of the 5 or 6 matchday hospitality options....so we're not talking about zero hospitality. Your the first person I've seen mention that there's a perception of considerable lack of demand for hospitality at TCS....maybe you should book in for a game at some point and check it out for yourself?

As the Kingsmills is now the box next to the Press Box, then I assume you're referencing the Press & Journal Lounge! Occasionally there's no hospitality due to lack of demand, but this is something that's being addressed by offering a different brand of hospitality when the club suspect that could be the case. You can access the main stand concourses if you are seated there and want to get indoors for a HT Pie and Cuppa. The Sports Bar concourse is fairly underutilised at half time. This is surprising considering it's heated (and has nicer toilets), but despite attempts to redirect people, they seem to want to head for the North End concourse!! The (what is now) Press and Journal Lounge was trialled under a project called the "Kingsmills Club" a good few seasons back. From memory it was access to the Lounge pre-match, half-time & post-match....including HT Pie & Cuppa, parking, programme and access to pay bar. You also had option to purchase a meal pre-match. However the price point needed to attract sufficient occupancy was so low it made it financially unviable and people weren't spending in the bar, so it wasn't even subsidising it. This was then tried again slightly differently with a substantial amount spent creating the Sports Bar...which probably still hasn't paid for itself.

This is far better than dots....and there's no restriction on the number of them you can give.

They're all used for various types of hospitality etc. Not sure what you'd be after or why, but Trying to find space for anything on a matchday is a bit "Mission Impossible" as there's literally stuff squeezed into every nook available.

I red dotted you.

In fairness.....I don't think it was many people, but I remember it quite vividly.

A few short memories on here. Remember a couple of years ago when people on here were on the clubs back to ditch Errea and do a deal with JD Sport? Careful what you wish for and all that!!!

It's actually entirely "official" and the club will point people in this direction when they are looking for the livelier part of the North Stand....just as they would direct elsewhere for those who perhaps wish a slightly more sedate location.

Player Appearance at JD Store tomorrow night have had to be postponed - statement issued on behalf of JD Sport http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1815-jd-store-player-appearance-postponed

Keep it as it is and increase number of red dots you can give in a day....I'm fed up of running out of them!!

I had typed up a longer reply, but I decided I could cover it off in just 5 words..... What a load of tosh!

Will you all stop with the rubbing out already....I've run out of red dots!!

The game is scheduled to be played at TCS, 7pm Tuesday.

Update as promised.... http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1812-2016-17-replica-kit-update-2

It's curtains for you after that!

Not sure if any of our players know how to use a sewing machine, but I could ask...they might be up for a new challenge..!!

The club did meet with JD (face to face) this week and there will be a statement issued in due course to update fans.

Or maybe the Twitter account that made that comment is a parody account!!!

I was extracting the urine. Here's an image of the mini scarf we had in last year....

Someone else mentioned this to me earlier and said it sounded like they (Sportscene) were suggesting players were going behind the managers back. What Richie actually said (and you can hear it for yourself about 1 min into video below) is that the players had a chat among themselves after Richie left the dressingroom at Tynecastle.
