Glenconner Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 BSC don't seem to need a ground. They just use someone else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 We need to give Cathkin this last push before we consider anything else. We honestly can't do anymore than this attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Using the pitch is one thing, starting to build pavilion/stand/terracing/enclosing a public park is another. The question the city council will ask is, let's see your money. As that wee Scottish Canadian with the bunnet said, it's not about money, it's about a lot of money.

Ampie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 They've asked and we've already produced proof for first 2 or 3 phases. They've accepted that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So it's a ground share with the JJA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Btw, you do know there's council elections in a fortnight and possibly a regime change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I've asked our board and they've already spoken to the council about this. JJA don't have a 25 year lease. They have a monthly let. We tried to discuss a proposal with them but they were clear this wouldn't happen. We don't want to merge clubs with them at allc just find a way to ensure they can still play there. We are happy to talk to all clubs that have lets etc to see what we can do. As I say, we're pretty far down the line with the council. Given what i've said above about what they've asked us to produce, i'd be very surprised if they've missed something like a long term let. All we can do now is wait.

Glenconner Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'm curious when a committee running an wee amateur team became a board of directors. Sure i watched a mate playing with a team called Third Lanark about 1976 in the Rex and they were a juvenile team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Actually, theres no official link between the club and the business side. The business side own the rights to the Thirds badge and more. My team is run as an amateur team still and the boys all pay monthly fees etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Can't be arsed reading back through this thread but didn't somebody say there has been various reincarnations of Third Lanark. Certainly a very apt story at Easter. Third Lanark has died, Third Lanark will live again. On the third century they rose again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Theres been a few. Since 2008 its been the same. Different board members in and out but Pat and Matt still here from 2008.

The important difference being that the Thirds guys seem to be trying to resurrect the club. I hope that the club do re-emerge, perhaps even at Junior level, which would be an excellent starting point. As for receiving funding from the Council....I have my doubts that today's economic situation would allow that. Plus there are excellent facilities at Toryglen and Holyrood, both within bottle throwing distance of Cathkin. It doesn't bode well either, that the JJA and Thirds aren't getting on.

Ampie Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 We don't want any funding from council at all. Ready to start ourselves. We're really disappointed about how the JJA thing went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energyzone Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The terracing in the areas containing trees is pretty much non-existent now. And behind that is a well trodden path which may be a public right of way. I'm not sure how sealing all that off would be achievable.If it is a serious proposal and progresses to an advanced stage would it be remiss of someone to suggest a joint venture with Clyde?
