Boris the Spider Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Agreed. No reflection on the SA at all. I assume the club has refused or ignored their requests for info about a free bus. The club should be providing a free bus. Simple as that. Paid for through compensation from SFA. Anything else is an outrage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 What is the pitch issue? If it’s being relaid due to a music event providing cash to the SFA then it’s a scandal that those who have to use the bus are subsidising that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcuk Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Very early days to be talking about specifics, but the new ground gives the chance to make the place exclusively about our identity. Obviously, we have the JB McAlpine pavilion, but there's more scope for naming stands etc. Would be good to see someone like Eddie Hunter recognised in some way, given his years of service to the club. No idea what the costs would be, but it'd also be great to see murals etc. around the place to put our stamp on it. I know the Hampden Bowling Club did something similar. there is a real chance to make it a new begining for your club with this new stadium . it is difficult leaving your ground, but one thing you really only get one chance to get it right The suggestions 're Hunter stand murals etc great idea for the diehards mix that with some innovative ideas to get new fans into a smart sized stadium and you are on a winner, but at the end of the day you need a team getting results on the park for the club to grow it could be an exciting new chapter at the club I know your chairmen from years ago grew up with him absolute top guy and as sharp as a tack I think you guys are going to come out of this well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris the Spider Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Why the club couldn't have told us the buses were free from the start is beyond me. Anyway thank god they are. It will be hard enough to get any sort of crowd to these games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know who at the Club said this was not the case? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris the Spider Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 No idea who put it on FB. It was a link to the official website which provided the information which has now been changed. Whether it was a mistake or not I don't know. Just glad it is sorted now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the content was provided by the supporters association then a charge was probably mentioned because nobody at the club bothered to confirm if they would subsidise the "home|" buses when asked by the supporters association.

I suggest that these were included in a post for buses by the Supporters Association when they shouldn't have been. I also believe there was never any intention to charge for these and the inclusion of these with a charge has created a false impression. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye right, I look forward to someone from the club running the buses on the day, making sure we stop at the right pick up points etc. We can tell John that he has those days off Once again, it's all about a lack of communication. He asked the question and didn't get an answer. Far too much of this happening with our office staff.

Needs sorted for the future The lack of a response is not good but the sensible thing to do would have been to leave out the information for the home games and say that information would follow when available. Instead we have information for these games that still has to be confirmed officially. For previous home games at Airdrie, the buses have been free and I expect this to be the case again. The buses have only departed from Hampden and not picked up in Clarkson or the City Centre. To put these in as pick up spots and with times without confirmation from the Club was always bound to cause a problem.

Boris the Spider Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I hate to labour the point but it was club that provided the incorrect information through FB and on the official site - not the SA. If things had not been confirmed the club should not have put anything on the website. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the "home" games is midweek so it makes perfect sense for the bus to stop at the usual three spots. Unless we want to make it even more inconvenient for our supporters than it already is, especially those that work in the town. I imagine the same arrangement was proposed for the Sunday game due to a reduced Sunday public transport service for those who don't live near Mount Florida Ironically the Hamilton away game is the only bus departing straight from our social club which makes sense on a Saturday.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
