bennett Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Just now, Drew Brees said: P&B **** believing the cost to clean up their fellow fans mess and vandalism is nothing more than victimisation. Unbelievable. The facts just don't add up here. The mess was tidied up within hours and if it was unsafe then the free Palestine demo obviously couldn't have went ahead. It's really impossible for Susie to attribute blame to Rangers fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable. I don't believe it's victimisation, I feel it's a double-standard if they don't normally release the clean-up costs required. At the risk of engaging in whataboutery, a quick glance through the pictures in the article linked below shows quite a substantial mess Glasgow was left in at a previous gathering. As I said, I don't know if they release the clean-up costs as standard, but if not, why would they decide to do it now? That's all I'm really asking here.

Most of the other stuff can be attributed to other gatherings too, general maintenance costs. Seems they're lumping a lot in at once to have a headline. It was pretty obvious IMO. According to the report Memorial benches were wrecked, plants and grass areas replaced because of shards of broken glass embedded in them, Hundreds of plants were also destroyed, scaffolding and traffic lights damaged, benches and security fences broken beyond repair and lighting for the Sir Walter Scott column smashed up, all statues checked, the statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert require significant repairs. “The Queen Victoria statue failed a topple test and is now fenced off to protect it from any further damage.”. Not sure why you’re obsessing on the litter tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When has a group of people caused so much damage to Glasgow that the council would feel within their rights to shame them by publicising the cost of repairs?

Guest Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 41 minutes ago, AJF said: Any mass gathering or event has attached clean-up costs, it's inevitable. Of course there was needless and thoughtless damage caused, but my question stands: Is it normal practice for the associated clean-up costs to be published by the council. If not, why have they done it on this occasion? There should not have been any mass gatherings in the first place, but your brain dead Zombie fans could not obey the laws of the land. I’ve been involved in various “mass gatherings” throughout my lifetime. However I was never part of a group intent on wilful littering, bottling fellow supporters, spitting at, fighting with and throwing objects at police and first aid staff. There were even a fair number of your fans incapable of controlling their bowels and bladders. It would seem that trouble follows you everywhere you go. You seem to have not learned any lessons from the dead club’s exploits in Birmingham, Barcelona, Chesterfield, or Manchester. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbix Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 A sad indictment of the lack of public facilities available to all and sundry, council cuts requiring the good nature of local businesses for people to spend a penny is shocking, the Tories have a lot to answer for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
