Selkirkhmfc1874 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 When did this happen? Thought was Charlie Irons the club used but yesterday was outside the ground when team coach arrived and it was parks of Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedBoy Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 When I first started going to Tynie it was Parks of Hamilton. I’m sure every central belt team used Parks. When we went into administration I’m sure I read somewhere that Charlie Irons (big hearts sponsor) offered to transport the team for free. Didn’t know they’d gone back to Parks. Why can’t JA get the team a plane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymack Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Don't think Charlie could supply top of the range coaches for away games, PoH have a fleet of buses with kitchen facilities installed on them. It's all about standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymack Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Oh and another thing, PoH provided transport for the scab miners back in 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five wan Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I remember Charlie Irons supplying coaches for away games at Killie, Motherwell, Aberdeen, Hampden, I also thought that the team spent the night before away games at hotels closer to the away game venue?

I remember Charlie Irons supplying the coach for free for a couple of games as well, was one game a preseason friendly down south and I’m sure up at Ross county as well? Could be wrong though. I thought it was a decent gesture from Charlie Irons. Why put money towards p o h that benefits The rangers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he resigned as a director and is no longer a ‘person with significant control’ as of March 2023 (I was bored this morning)… https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC229459/filing-history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
