Dillinger Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 We are looking at putting a hospitality box in. It's out for tender just now. Also talk of a new training pitch next to the hotel and a new shop, but that one seems more like talk than anything solid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are more pressing subjects that need addressed at the club, maybe a Chairman, Coach & Development Mangar before the 3 Stoogies in charge entertain their mates. Why? That's all they are in it for! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think the hospitality box is QTS funded, I heard it was for QTS hospitality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp3ckyh0td0g81 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 my point being we have much bigger issues than making a box for QTS Hospitality and with the talking point being that and not the bigger issues only further makes you think they are not putting their money in to develop the club for any other reason than to keep Bowie and his pals eating drinking and being merry all good pals using our club to further develop their own personal business portfolios at the expense of the future of our club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Paul McDonald mention tonight that Billy Bowie is beavering away on a facility which would be required as part of the youth setup for project brave. I think we could move to some sort of complex in the future. Whether it is our own or a community partnership I don't know. McDonald mentioned we may need one and McCulloch continued with his point that it's not ideal the players being in the same environment every day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not about QTS putting money in, more power to Alan McLeish's elbow if that's what he wants to do, its about focussing on frivolities such as this when there are far more important issues to be dealt with. Issues which appear to be getting roundly ignored, or certainly we are not getting fully informed about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there would be an option to pair up with Kilwinning Sports Club rather than just pay to use facilities or if we could partner with the athletics facility at Bellfield and expand that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I was told a while back that the club were back using Kilwinning on a regular basis. and that we were very happy with the facilities there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan76 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 If QTS want to fund the creation of this box , then let them go for it, but I wouldn't want to see our precious pennies being out towards it. The guy invests in the club, quite heavily, so only fair he gets something back for it. As for the training pitch next to the hotel, is this for subbutteo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard, QTS are funding the box and it'll be used by them to entertain clients. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hey, there would be nothing stopping us from lording it over the plebs from behind glass too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I would question anyone who wants to go to a football match and sit behind glass. I have done it a couple of times and its rubbish. If someone chooses that option rather than sitting outside with the crowd (for anything other than health reasons) then they are not a real football fan. The big question of course is - will the box generate any additional income for the club or is it simply what QTS are getting for continuing their sponsorship? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
