LinwoodTON Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 In all honesty it could probably be done with a couple of representatives from all the supporters clubs. Let's face it, there are only between 10 and 20 questions that fans want answered, and we all know what these questions are. <span style='font-size: 14px;'><em class='bbc'>"That LinwoodTon's a c*nt, eh?"</em></span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Nu Sport Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Maybe Dougie's excuse this time will be he couldn't get a ticket? Wel let's hope no-one brings a friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Joe Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Am I picking this up incorrectly, or do some on this thread honestly think that supporters squabbling should be a consideration by the club when choosing an a venue for a Q&A session!?!? Deluded, conceited, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamCam Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 As was once said "You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time".  I appreciate that the venue is not to everyone's liking but surely the priority here is to take the opportunity to ask the questions of the Board that you believe have to be answered? I know it does not apply to all but too many keyboard warriors making up all sort of spurious reasons for not attending.  Not exactly convenient for me but as an unhappy customer/fan I have registered to attend and no I am not a member of the supporter's club - my only experience of the place ensured I never went back!

michigan_ton Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 People will complain about the location as it provides them the perfect excuse to refuse to be more than keyboard warriors. Â I personally cannot make it as I am abroad with work; however, I haven't been the keyboard smacker that many have. I await VT and BBT's contributions with eager anticipation.

LinwoodTON Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Anyway, has anyone 'bought' a ticket? <span style='font-size: 14px;'><em class='bbc'>"That LinwoodTon's a c*nt, eh?"</em></span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazy_ar*e_student Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I went to the event last year in the Gamble Halls and would be surprised if there was 100 people there that night (though happy to stand corrected).

HamCam Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Aye, that no goats rule is a real bummer. It never even got that far - I left the goat tethered outside! Â Safe to say the welcoming committee were not very welcome. As Billy Connolly once said " They made me feel about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit".

chris_mceleny Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 My 2 bobs worth, seems to be a few recurring issues here. Â Size of Hall - I think 100 is fair given the inevitable high spirits of participants on the night, all wanting their opinions heard. I was present at one in the port town hall circa 7 years ago and it was a farce, no order whatsoever. Â Car Parking - adequate parking within a 5 minute walk of the hall, no issue. James, you and your boys just get a taxi up like last time. Â Preferential Treatment to GMFC Members - to my knowledge details of the ticket website wasn't leaked to the glitterati beforehand. Â There were people pleading for an event like this to take place and for auld Dougie to hold himself accountable, that platform is now available and it seems an easy out for folk to chastise the choice of venue. Â Perhaps we could get some sort of Q&A from here for a portion of the night, a live feed for the faceless and timid? All joking aside, that's not a bad idea for out of towners etc who cannot attend. Â As far as complimentary briefs go, who on here would give up a free dinner? Good analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LargsTON Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 .....and if you're ThornTON, shagging like ****.  Anyone getting excited about the venue should probably find something better to worry about.If you want to go, get yourself on an reserve a ticket; if not then don't moan about it.  I don't like your attitude.  "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Don't get the complaining over the venue. Last one I attended was there too, although being the one with Cowboy and the limited grey away shirt it was a while back. More of a feel good factor so it was bound to be busy. Certainly wasn't packed out. This one will be lucky to get 100. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.
