Tom Rogic Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I still don't see how that justifies you getting the majority of money made from ticket sales, tbh, nor how it justifies you getting over quarter of a million pounds We were paid a fee negotiated between the club and SFA, if you dont like it eat your own shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Bhoy Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Well how is Lesser Hampden going to accommodate for that? Are you deliberately being stupid here or? It already has quite a few seats. Can't find exactly how many but it looks like a couple of hundred. The pavilion looks like it can accommodate a few more. Like someone says, could easily throw up a wee covered temporary stand. It's not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye what about Hospitality and Facilities, Toilets/Food etc? It's not as easy as just throwing up temporary stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new pavilion has facilities. Can always get more temporary facilities such as toilets. Remember...the average crowd is only around 400 like you pointed out. My own local Jr side sometimes get bigger crowds than that and manage to get by ok using just the facilities in the social club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never pointed out anything but there last 2 games have been just under 500.... The pavilion has one toilet with one cubicle and a urinal. There's one shop. How's everybody getting in? One at a time through the social club door? Better arrive early then eh. What about hospitality? Will they just have to lose out on that for a few games? They've a game against Clyde next week, what do they do when the crowd is around 800? And what junior club is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember...the average crowd is only around 400 like you pointed out. My own local Jr side sometimes get bigger crowds than that and manage to get by ok using just the facilities in the social club. Perhaps they could buy and demolish the church hall, and erect some gigantic ridiculous raked cube of seats with restricted views. I presume the farm house itself - the white building with the awning - is listed due to the "oldest football building in the world" thing. That aside the open space is already down to a line of presumably parking spaces around the north-east corner, and a loop of grass banking. Although the bends have been lifted the 100m straight hasn't. Check the pics (and review) here: https://laurencereade.wordpress.com/2016/03/03/clincart-farm/; also http://undergreylancastrianskies.blogspot.co.uk/2015_04_01_archive.html. Even if you could squeeze enough capacity in (doubtful) you've got to provide safe entrances & exits, access to catering, toilets, etc. Just can't see it.

You can get temporary toilets in portacabins. Like I said, we're only talking temporary measures here. Not a long standing agreement. The Jr side is Shettleston Jrs. They get lots of big Ayrshire clubs visiting. There are no toilets inside the ground. The social club has 3 cubicals in the blokes toilet and a silver urinal about the same length. Not a massive toilet just yet standard kinda social club toilet & you have whatever is in the women's toilet but it seems to work fine for the crowds that turn up. There is talk of Clyde ground sharing there next season. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen but like I said, if they can do it for a season, then I'm sure QP can do it for a couple of games.

I presume the farm house itself - the white building with the awning - is listed due to the "oldest football building in the world" thing. That aside the open space is already down to a line of parking spaces around part of the north end, and a few patches of grass bank. Check the pics. Even if you could squeeze enough capacity in (doubtful) you've got to provide safe entrances & exits, access to catering, toilets, etc. Just can't see it. They have the running track around the pitch. Plenty of space for a temporary stand. Again, if I come back to the Shettleston Jrs situation. They have 3 turnstiles which can operate both ways and one gate that opens. It works well. They have one food outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No junior side comes close to the attendances in the SPFL minus Pollok. HJ has posted crowd figures in here plenty of times before I'm sure he'll keep you right. So I'd be surprised if Shettleston are getting anywhere near 500. Also the criteria to host an SPFL game is much stricter than that of a junior game. My local junior club doesn't even have a toilet and it costs me £4 to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read that two Ayrshire sides met this weekend and it was reported that they took 1000 visiting fans. Shettleston often get several hundred fans going along.

ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1460339253.284739.jpg Is that not for a Scottish cup semi game? What has that got to do with the facilities at Lesser Hampden anyway? Beiths ground can clearly take that capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie Bhoy Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 No idea what it was for. You disputed what I was telling you so I just threw it up there to back up I wasn't lying. Like I said. A temporary stand, couple of portacabins with toilets and it's job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 What does this have to do with raising the question about the pitch though. This affects all 4 semi-finalists this weekend. My point was if Queens Park are forced out their own ground to accommodate Semi-Finals then they should get a massive wedge of the money made from the Semis, just like Celtic got.

They are, but Celtic fans want them forced out their ground in the preceding weeks to any Semi/Final so that they have a perfect pitch to play on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Ah OK. Sorry missed that point. Obviously Celtic should be told to gtf in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
