Maybe at the head of the room for the manager connecting to the TVs for show and tell but not for every player. Future proofing. It’s cheap as chips to run a good sized conduit around the room, by running at least a Cat6 cable to each locker, you can easily change out or add in connections. Besides, the players get in after the match and take off their trackers, do they all download remotely, or does someone have to plug them in to download? If they have to be plugged in, wiring the lockers to let the player plug it right in to power and a data connection would be simple and save time and effort. Regardless, they need charged. It’s a minor thing, but if you get all the data immediately after the match instead of waiting until some employee gets around to plugging them all in, surely there’s an advantage there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully aware of this. 49% May make him irrelevant in the running of the club (hopefully). The 100% is more of a concern 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s always talked of giving the ground back to the club and community. If the new people are making a decent fist of things, then it’s a chance to come good on that promise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 5 hours ago, pub car king said: They make a go of this and I'm sure Sim will relinquish his grip soon enough It's quite a statement of intent from them to invest into a ground they don't have any holding over. Maybe it's been agreed as part of a larger move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t we just put in car charging points in the lockers as well? Boys will need to charge their cars in 50 years time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if I’ve got this wrong but didn’t the new consortium buy out 51% of the shares? So say that Sim then owns 49% of the club would mean that he owned 100% of all shares beforehand which can’t be right. His remaining shareholding in the club won’t be much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Sim retains around 35% of the shares for the club. He never owned 100% of the shares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any stadium tour and the away dressing rooms are basic (in contrast to the home dressing room) Leishman while in charge at Livingston got the heating disconnected to the away dressing rooms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Did the Stark’s Park tour a few years ago and the away dressing room was very small, pretty dark and fairly basic. Have a vague memory of some Rangers player from the Gascoigne, Laudrup era mentioning how shit it was in his autobiography. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced about the slope accusation... that was eradicated when the stadium was built in 1996. McGinn never played on the slope. Everything else sounds legit though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Sounds like a good commercial appointment. Lots of good things happening off the field, a marked difference to the stagnation of the last few years. Loving the new energy and enthusiasm around the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was legendary so maybe he’s just remembering its reputation. Was behind the kicking towards the home end in the second half to get the benefit of the crowd and going downhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we're getting in a lot of people who have access to good networks. Before we were working from season to season more in hope. While it'll take a bit of time for it all to come together, there's definitely plenty to be positive over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
