Aye biting in to the thigh of a Torquay player ! David Platt scoring for Crewe. Must have been around the time Hibs weren't prepared to cough up dough for him.

As for location, Gorgie has, unlike numerous other conference, meeting and exhibition venues in the city, has no decent hotel accomodation within walking distance. It wasn’t mentioned originally. At the q&a session Ann said when they walked into the space after it was built it looked a lot bigger than had been imagined from the plans so they want to utilise it as much and as optimally as possible to generate income.

You'd almost think it was done on a tight time frame, from initial idea to (semi) completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 4 hours ago, Francis Albert said: Fortunately or otherwise depending on your view of the intelligence of fans (my own view is that they have often seen things going wrong a lot quicker than those in charge of running the club) a look at the proposed governance proposals should duisabuse anyone of the notion that there is any risk Tom, Dick or Harry or indeed the FoH members en masse "calling the shots". FoH members' role is to continue their subs while self selected people with "special expertise" run the show. But you have to have a good memory to recall the latest governance proposals, which were issued almost a year ago, with a consultation period ending 8 months ago, with still no summary released of comments received or of any response to those comments. The message seems to be "know your place" while being grateful for baubles like virtual plots. I'm not disagreeing but when said sheepskin wannabees realise this there will be a backlash against FoH. Fun times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
