A friend of mine goes to the gym. The gym owner has been told (by the club) that there are only a few league games throughout the season where the gym equipment needs to be cleared out, presumably because the club anticipate that the away team will bring a support that needs the whole stand (and therefore four turnstyles). He wasn't told to clear it out before the Partick game - my guess is that someone at the club didn't anticipate the size of the crowd Partick would bring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been. For Saturday's game they weren't told to clear it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if our good run comitues and we have demand from our own support to open part of the north stand. Surely that scenario has been considered? We were only a few hundred of it at the weekend there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that scenario has been considered? We were only a few hundred of it at the weekend there. Then I would think they will remove the equipment. This issue has been made to seem like a mountain out of a mole hill. One instance of this, based on poor intel from the opposition club and now calls for long-standing protocols to be changed seems like an over-reaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it gets to a stage that the gym needs to get emptied for every home game, it will. I'm just saying that the reason it wasn't emptied at the weekend was because the club hadn't told the gym owner it needed to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 And this is where we keep edging towards needing that multi-purpose fourth stand. Partly for occasional crowd use and partly because there are clearly companies interested in locating inside the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
