Spot on. They are horrible glory hunting, bigots who have affiliated themselves with one side in the Israel-Palestine and Irish conflicts whereas you are - ah, wait a minute. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic are a plc which gives individual board members a bit less leeway to drive their own agenda Theoretically as the boards of Hearts, St Mirren and Motherwell are ultimately answerable to their fan-owners we could pressurise them into voting against something if there was sufficiently widespread and determined opposition to it but personally I can’t be bothered 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I'm going to guess he pays a tiny, tiny fraction of his wages. At least the others pulled him up for his arsehole behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely Scotland match pies- £3.50. Shite. I have ranted about this before. A ground with 50,000 selling 25,000 pies. If they buying 25,000 pies the discounts for economy of scale must make these incredibly cheap to buy. I was at Elgin on Sat and a 2 pies & bovril was wasn't less than £7. About 1,000 folk there better quality of pie and they would have had to buy a lot less so would have cost them more. Same at Banks O Dee, Cove and elsewhere I been recently. Food at the bigger games is a rip off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting on Saturday though getting our food pre match. Turnstiles opened at 11.00 and we were in about 11.30. Up to a not busy counter and asked for a hot dog, Hampden pies are shite, and a bovril. I could see the puzzlement on the girl's face. I said "bovril" three times and she eventually went away and came back with a wee Glaswegian lassie who showed her what a bovril was. Then she wandered about with the cup for about 30 seconds and came back to me. "No hot water. Will be 5 minutes." My friend was at the other end of the counter and when he asked a different person for his bovril she came back with a bottle of water. Obviously not a single second's training, and no hot water 30 minutes after gates open. Then the bloody screens went off after 10 minutes of the game for the remainder of the first half, so no idea how long had gone or was left. Not great. Apart from the game, which was magnificent. This is no doubt just my age showing but I absolutely hate going for food at the football because of how the service is operated. One person to take the money, one person to get the food and a few people just to watch these people. You would think someone would explain that at half time you need to speed up a bit to try and get everyone back as soon as possible. Again it’s just my age and I’m not of these types who thinks football fans are “customers” but you just want them to go fast and at least have a rough knowledge of what’s happening around them. Shout out to Hibs for the slowest kiosk workers in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better value for money and quality at Hurlford, for example, compared to almost every top flight team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food at the bigger games is a rip off. Food at big games is a rip off, and it’s usually worse quality. The business model does change up the tiers tho, almost nobody does their own catering, for the clubs it’s purely on who will offer them the most money to do it instead and those willing to pay the highest money do so in the plan to take as much as they can from fans. 1 hour ago, Sortmeout said: This is no doubt just my age showing but I absolutely hate going for food at the football because of how the service is operated.
