well - a member of the supporters club saying it's ok to miss a game! i remember being told by the 'hard core that i wasn't a true supporter unless i went to every game - changed days!

i can assure you that there are no mcdougall & hastie steak pies at caley park just now - even in the posh seats!

Darren was manager of the Health Club that is now called Bannatynes before he came to the club. not so sure he was the manager of the whole health club...

Does it matter? It was supposed to be a minutes silence!!

I see everyone jumping to slag off Rangers for what happened in Romania. not one mention of what happened in Falkirk when Celtc fans disrupted the minutes silence on rememberence Sunday... One lot is as bad as the other........

Could i suggest that our man on the mic on sunday play a song for our visitors?? the one i had in mind is one by the lovely Cher.... gypsies, tramps and thieves... :023:

More than a rat! The Supporters Club had a minibus last week to the Dunfermline game. Why not one this week? On many occasions folk have not been able to get seats on the buses and it must really p!ss them off i'm sure enough not to travel again. If it's a cost thing then they need to fundraise more to keep costs down. They should be looking at why folk don't use the buses rather than why they do. I was under the impression that they had a reasonably healthy bank balance. Surely as an organisation whose stated aim has been to get fans to away games should be doing that. It's understandable to want to have reserves of cash but at what level should that be? Maybe one of the members of the Club or the Treasurer could tell us what the accounts look like?

The catering at our ground has been appalling at our ground for some years now. latest rumour has it that the catering company buy the cheapest of cheap pies from farmfoods for selling at our games. noting wrong with farmfoods pies - but when you're being charged ?1.60 odd for a pie that costs 4 for ?1 or something... well that is daylight robbery!! 60p for polos? don't eat them - but i'm sure that must be nearly 100% mark up! absolutely abysmal i remember buying a pie and it was not the slightest bit hot in the middle and burnt on the bottom. took it back and it was as if it was my fault!! got a replacement which he's stuck a thermometer in and it was still cold in the middle! the catering is a joke!

fixed it for ya Charles :017:

some of the posters on this site just amaze me. Not so long ago it was Judd that was getting the slagging off for not doing a good job. You get someone in who makes an effort to do things a bit differently - and much better in my mind - and they all start to crawl out of the woodwork to slag them off. Where were these guys when the club was looking for volunteers to do things? Clear snow off the pitch, paint toilets and the like? Bet if the club asked for volunteers to sell programmes or 50/50s not one of you would put your heads above the parapet and do it. IHE had the right idea when he was calling some of the folk connected with the club muppets. Half the folk posting on this thread should be on that list too...

No chip sir, just agreeing with the majority of folk on this thread. Would it make you feel better if I was banned from this thread? You're a Rangers man anyway are you not? I could recommend you a good barber as well to cut that barnet of yours too if you like? No No No!!! i think it's lovely...

a very sweeping statement YaBoy - there are many members of the Supporters Trust who attend all the away games...

We had 4 last season. Didn't manage every game and some of us managed a few. There were very few weeks when all the tickets were used. This season, due to financial contsraints, we won't be renewing them all - maybe one or 2... The costs of travel and accommodation are too much now...

to be honest birdog it's not quite as funny as it seems... I've travelled on the official Supporters Club buses a few times and though pretty well organised they don't meet my needs. we left Inverness at 10am and then stopped in Perth, sometimes by the time you get in and out of there it's nearly an hour. there's not too many exciting places to go around Perth bus station... On more than a couple of occasions we arrived at the ground either 10-15 minutes before ko or missed it by the same margin. one of these games was the jimmy johnston tibute game at Parkhead. it would have been good to be in the ground at least 30 mins before ko in order to take it all in but we missed the first 10 mins... on the way home we stopped in Perth again. probably for around 30 mins which in itself isn't too bad. No drinking on the bus - well except for those and such as those... I'd far rather leaving a bit earlier, heading straight for the ground we're playing at and being able to meet up with fellow supporters or ICT and in all possiblity fans of the oppostition and have a drink in a hostelry before hand. So - in short - the supporters club buses don't really meet my needs nor those of many of my friends. we also have to ask ourselves why some of the younger travelling support get the train to games (including some of those closely related to the bus convener)....
