Cynicism is one of the benefits of old age.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

[QUOTE=Ozyhibby;5109232]Bands and theatre companies have to rent concert halls and the venues usually do quite well out of it?
I know they do, but my point was that public money will be getting used to build the venue without any financial input from the artists etc who will use it. Even though they will pay for the hire of the venue I would imagine that money will go towards its upkeep and paying its staff rather than having any benefit to the public purse, which as far as I can see is no different from what would happen if public money was being used for football infrastructure.
I am aware that there is a better use for public money than football stands .... but so long as public money is used to subsidise Opera, Ballet, Orchestras and a host of other laudable, desirable, but ultimately non essential parts of Scottish society then I do not see the problem with football asking for a slice of that pie, and a slice commensurate with its popularity in relation to these other activities.
Its isn't unfair either in my opinion to point out that for all that these other things are good to have as they undoubtedly enrich society the people who bring Opera, Ballet and Classical music to the masses are also professionals who make a living doing it, just like footballers ..... the amount of public money that goes towards keeping these folk on the road is massive compared to what they actually generate in income. It seems to me like snobbery to say that football which is enjoyed by far more people than Opera, Ballet or the Scottish symphony orchestra put together ( in fact I'm willing to bet more folk watched Hibs last season than all 3 combined ) is less worthy than they are of public subsidy.Last edited by NAE NOOKIE; 21-07-2017 at 05:19 PM.

The more of us that join this organisation the stronger will be the voice of fans.
There used to be an independent organisation called Supporters Direct but as soon as they started getting funded by the governing bodies,they ended up losing their teeth.
Joined. Membership up to nearly 70,000 fellow Scottish supporters already so spread the word on social media. Politicians and SPFL SFA will really sit up and take notice once membership gets to 100,000 and above.Last edited by RIP; 22-07-2017 at 06:07 AM.

New fans organisation
I think they have 75,000 members now and 9000 have completed the questionnaire. They/we will be hard to ignore with those numbers.

Football in the country needs better leadership. I'm not convinced it needs another group of people talking about it.

I don't see how a fans group can have a united enough view which would carry enough clout to do anything.

Rod Petrie appears (maybe I'm misinterpreting him but we'll find out by Wednesday) saying Hibs fans should all just move on and he is happy to ignore us.

If they are being ignored, or more likely those running the clubs feel they are better placed to make the decisions, what chance has another fans group have?
