Possibly because that's where there are 10 seats in one row. I cant for the life of me understand this unhealthy obsession with ticket sales. there will be as many fans on the day as want to go and that's all that's important. As for the 'big secret' we are a private limited company who are not obliged to publish a complete breakdown of our income so perhaps the reason is that the company don't want others to know such things.

Cost in rent and rates is the big problem here. Hence the reason a unit is available for this short lease and that its being paid for by common good fund.

And a good advert for the local Polish residents who may then see fit to attend ICT matches in future

If any bus organisers want to use the Croftfoot Bowling Club then I suggest someone notifies them quick as Falkirk are also interested in place. Check other thread

To suggest that Errea are some low profile company suggests a grave ignorance on the part of the opening poster. The link below will show the list of teams, sports and countries that Errea actually provide sponsorship to. Over and above this we are one of many other clubs who trade with Errea. http://www.errea.it/en/sponsorship/sponsor/

Right, so let me get this straight. People who believe fanatically in taking powers back home (well, no nearer home than Holyrood anyway) will, if there's a vote to take massive powers back from Brussels, start shouting for another Scottish referendum so they can hand them back to Brussels again. Oh, and when will the third Scottish referendum be? Ayesettee's scenario is the only one that would see another referendum in the length of time you have left on this earth Charles. Contrary to what people are attempting to spin the SNP have accepted the result of last year and have no intention of having another one. It seems to me, however, that there is not a lot of confidence among the non SNP electorate when they are assuming the SNP will win Holyrood next year.

From their website The match this Saturday against Inverness Caley Thistle is pay at the turnstile with prices as follows - ADULTS £21 SENIORS (Over 65) £16 AGES 16 to 25 £16 UNDER 16s £10

That he did Danny has scored 4 for club. 18 Jan 14 away to Aberdeen 0-1 02 Dec 14 home to St Mirren 4-0 ScotCup 21 Feb 15 home to Kilmarnock 3-3 05 May 15 home to Dundee U 2-1

Sorry Charles. I've just discovered that HMRC must have used the same fag packet. Please note income tax figure attributed to Scotland for 13/14 = 11.3 billion and total tax = 38.5 billion. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/359890/disag-method.pdf The difference being that HMRC's figure is the product of the real situation which allows, on the minus side, for the personal allowance not being taxable and, on the plus side, for some larger earners having some of their income taxed at the higher rate. If that roughly coincides with what you get by multiplying the workforce by the average wage by some ballpark guesstimate of 20%, then that is merely an apparent result of the coincidence that the abovementioned plus and minus sides happen to cancel each other out. Charles I dont need a lecture from an ex schoolteacher on economics. Just admit I'm close to being right and that you are not and never will be some superior being with all the answers.

My glass is always half full

Should they draw then one of them will need a lot of goals to overtake us.

Ok the strikes a good one but did you have to splash me in the face?

I would like to think third is consolidated now. StJ v DU saturday must finish with a win for one team for us to be overtaken. Goal diff makes a draw no use and a draw is the likely outcome.

This waste of space as you wish to call it seems to be good enough for you to live and trade in Laurence. But to further advance your historic knowledge the name Caledonia used by the Romans for the lands they couldn't conquer is believed to have come from the largest Pictish tribe in the country of Pictavia, the Caledonii. And finally Laurence the Scottish Nationalists dont want more than they are entitled to. They want what is rightfully theirs and what was taken from them by act of parliament and a handful of bribes in 1707.

You'll notice Charles I used a blanket 20% rate against average earnings. When you consider that high earners dont get allowance and that there are obviously a lot of high earners to arrive at the 26k average earnings then I think you'll find my figures are pretty close to reality

Not sure where you get your figures from Laurence. As of Nov 13 there were 2,547,000 people in work in Scotland earning an average £26,472. Assuming a 20% tax rate across the board then thats an income of roughly 12 billion in income tax alone. Add to that NI, VAT, Employers contributions and all the other taxes generated in the country and you'll see the reason why Westminster doesn't want to hand over powers. Incidently all those figures are in thepublic domain if anyones bothered to look for them.

Charles, there is one fundamental difference between now and the 1930's you choose to continually harp on about. Nowadays the people are more informed and more educated about politics. Nowadays the political parties are, in general, more open and honest on their policies. Nowadays the people are able to make learned judgement and are making choices based on that judgement and not on coersion. Good debate is about good arguement. Unfortunately the side you're on have lost the arguement. They've lost the people. Now all they can do is resort to ridiculous comparrisons with 1930's Europe instead of convincing the people that their policies are the right ones. As for NewZealands journalistic endeavours re carnage in Glasgow the other day. Its pretty much identical to the crap reporting by the BBC about the same stage managed PR stunt that has backfired. Meanwhile, because of the hatred and lies being spouted, innocent party campaigners out on the street distributing leaflets are being assaulted by people who are actually believing the hatred and lies being spouted by people like you.

Its being broadcast on BBC and Sky3

Highland league. All the Angus clubs have been earmarked for HL

Alex get off your soap box Sure there are a lot of poor people But there are a lot of others doing very well, I suspect you are one of them, I sure am Go to Glasgow stand on the street corner look at the cars, the delivery vans, look at the shoppers , look at the bags they are carrying full of goodies, . AS long as I can remember Glasgow as been full of betting shops probably the same people who use them go to the food banks. If you live in that area sure you would go for free food rather than pay for it. In this country we are far better off than most other places, tracker mortgages low tax, shorter hours than our parents worked. I am no Tory but I am a realist, You make it sound like there is no tomorrow unless we spend spend spend. The vital thing for the next government is to get people , who can, back into work, create jobs. With cheap oil low transport costs, This nation and the UK as a whole should do very well over the next 5 years, regardless of the party in control. Lets forget moaning about so called austerity and pull together. Too much grumbling for my mind. Talk about who won referendums, is not helping, Germany lost the war, but who is the kingpin of Europe now. Life changes all the time. Elections come and elections go. Sometimes you have the upper hand and sometimes you are crushed. The problem with independence was its finality, no going back, in five years there will be another general election and things will look different, they always do. I first voted in 1964 won by Wilson with 4 votes or so, 18 months later he went to the country and won by a landside , in 1970 he was ousted by Edward Heath, In 1973 Wilson won again by a minority government, after that he went to the country again and won comfortably. The next election was won by Thither who won 4 terms, Finalised by Major who lost in a landside to Tony Blair. Don't get smug over success it can all change over a few years. No Laurence I wont get of my soapbox. I am as entitled to comment as you are. As for being well of. No I'm not. I get by but I have to travel to another country to work and pay taxes in two countries to get by. But, that aside, unlike you with your 'I'm alright jack' attitude I have concerns for those around me. I am concerned when those around me can only get zero hours contract employment. I'm concerned when thousands of young lives are being affected by poverty. I'm concerned about the dangers of having weapons of mass destruction on my doorstep. I'm concerned about the environmental impact of the overuse of fossil fuels. I dont look at my country and the world from behind a net curtain in my warm living room.

First to set the record straight. Independence is not in the SNP manifesto for this election. If Labours policy was a socialist one then I'd agree with your point. However, Labour will not abolish the bedroom tax. Labour will not rule out increases in taxation. Labour have pledged to put money into the foodbanks. Does those few things sound like the policies of a socialist party?

In my schooldays poems such as this had to be memorised. No matter how hard I try to read into it I just can't picture the link to Laurence. O young Lochinvar is come out of the west, Through all the wide Border his steed was the best; And save his good broadsword he weapons had none, He rode all unarm’d, and he rode all alone. So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like the young Lochinvar. He staid not for brake, and he stopp’d not for stone, He swam the Eske river where ford there was none; But ere he alighted at Netherby gate, The bride had consented, the gallant came late: For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar. So boldly he enter’d the Netherby Hall, Among bride’s-men, and kinsmen, and brothers and all: Then spoke the bride’s father, his hand on his sword, (For the poor craven bridegroom said never a word,) “O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?” “I long woo’d your daughter, my suit you denied;— Love swells like the Solway, but ebbs like its tide— And now I am come, with this lost love of mine, To lead but one measure, drink one cup of wine. There are maidens in Scotland more lovely by far, That would gladly be bride to the young Lochinvar.” The bride kiss’d the goblet: the knight took it up, He quaff’d off the wine, and he threw down the cup. She look’d down to blush, and she look’d up to sigh, With a smile on her lips and a tear in her eye. He took her soft hand, ere her mother could bar,— “Now tread we a measure!” said young Lochinvar. So stately his form, and so lovely her face, That never a hall such a galliard did grace; While her mother did fret, and her father did fume, And the bridegroom stood dangling his bonnet and plume; And the bride-maidens whisper’d, “’twere better by far To have match’d our fair cousin with young Lochinvar.” One touch to her hand, and one word in her ear, When they reach’d the hall-door, and the charger stood near; So light to the croupe the fair lady he swung, So light to the saddle before her he sprung! “She is won! we are gone, over bank, bush, and scaur; They’ll have fleet steeds that follow,” quoth young Lochinvar. There was mounting ’mong Graemes of the Netherby clan; Forsters, Fenwicks, and Musgraves, they rode and they ran: There was racing and chasing on Cannobie Lee, But the lost bride of Netherby ne’er did they see. So daring in love, and so dauntless in war, Have ye e’er heard of gallant like young Lochinvar?

Never mind folks. Another five years of austerity rammed down our throats. Another five years of foodbanks. Of poverty. Perhaps they'll even start pinching pennies from Charlies pension. Labour made it very clear on QT that they wont be in government so all thats left is Dave to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. If ever there was a setup in place to break the union this is it. I'm starting to wonder who actually lost the referendum. Did the NO campaign go too far and actually backfire on them because all they've demonstrated since then is total and absolute contempt for Scotland and its people.

Some have also been known to go to 208 pub or Tulloch Social Club. Both just a few hundred yards from stadium entrance.
