Fawlty Towers Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 The survey that David Beattie talked about is now on the official website - lots of good questions and plenty of opportunity for the good ideas that I have seen on here to get another airing. One person will win hospitality for 2 for completing it, lets get as many entries as possible so the Club can get as accurate a picture as possible on what the fans are thinking.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Have had a quick look thru the questionnaire. Don't want to sound like nit picking but I notice a few questions I'd rather see phrased better. Overall tho' it's a fairly comprehensive job. Will definitely fill it in when I've more time as it deserves a good bit of thought in reply. Btw I can imagine a few sweary answers to question 41 (see another thread) Edited February 21, 2011 by lady-isobel-barnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryHell Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Question 41? Bloddy hell. This is going to be some exercise collating our answers to this. Looks like i'll have to take a day off work to complete this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One person will win hospitality for 2 for completing it, lets get as many entries as possible so the Club can get as accurate a picture as possible on what the fans are thinking. I see you can complete it more than once, and you dont need to be a Thistle fan to fill it in. Surely that would cause the accuracy of the survey outcome to be questionable, are there any ways round these issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags365 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Done. Took abut 15-20 minutes. Think there's a couple of questions which I can see people maybe answering not in the way they intend - eg the swtiching between 1 and 10 for the best. Some of the questions seem fairly redundant - changing kick off times? Could we actually do that? Hopefully though a lot of people can take the time to fill this out. What comes of it is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Jag Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Question 64... asking if anyone would like to be an Administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted February 21, 2011 Members Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Disappointed there were no questions about the Centenary Fund given it's importance to the Club. I'm not in it, but I'd join if I was confident it's being administered properly and comments here suggest otherwise. So it's a no thanks from me and I doubt I'm alone.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) The questionnaire has somehow disappeared from the website. I could have sworn it was there a few minutes ago edited to add it's now back with a covering piece from DB.

honved Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 All I ever seem to do is moan. It's a start, but it all has the feel of a British Leyland car about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potty trained Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Question 64... asking if anyone would like to be an Administrator I was concerned with this one too, Woodie! The question basically asks, would you be willing to volunteer to do the jobs (for free) already carried out by the one or two paid staff at the club. I hope Beattie doesn't think we should go down the Stirling Albion route. As history shows, both the club and the trust have a shocking history when it comes to volunteers actually stepping up and getting involved, with probably only the usual 10 from a core support of 2500 making themselves available. It should also be noted that Paul goodwin and a few others are taking a wage from Stirling (from what i've been told by a Stirling supporting relative). Maybe we can see if Antonia's pals are still available for work on a Saturday, that seemed to be a success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What comes of it is another matter. I have a strong personal opinion on that one, but I'll hold fire until everyone's had a chance to complete the survey, Besides, there are far more important questions.

Jaggernaut Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 seroiusly 1 oclock kick off! I actually quite like the idea. Get it over with early on, then leave the rest of the day for enjoyment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do as well but suspect I'd be of a different mind if going for a few beers before the game was still part of the ritual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm all for an earlier start, though I thought 2pm would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow Traveller Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 If they do that AND the government stop the clocks going back, which has already got me confused, I'd put my chances of turning up at the right time for any match at about 4%.

Norman Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 OK, I was going to keep quiet, but seeing as others have started... I can see that an earlier kick-off would save money on the floodlights. I'd have thought that another benefit would be avoiding any traffic associated with whichever half of the Old Firm were playing at home, assuming they retained their 3pm kick-off. I'll admit there have been occasions when I've decided not to attend Firhill because I know that the roads into Glasgow are going to be a nightmare, as will the roads out after the game. I would imagine that a lot of other fans, including away supporters, might make similar judgements. I'd also imagine a similar problem arises on the trains, buses and underground. The disadvantage of a 1pm kick-off would be we would be emptying out at the roughly same time as Ibrox/Parkhead was filling up. A 2pm kick-off would avoid this.

Norman - you should know by now that restraint isn't a concept recognised on this board Given that the game with a 1pm kick-off would be finishing 1445-1450 I'd think the crossover with OF fans going to their game would be extremely minimal. They should all be in or close to the Ibrox or Parkhead areas by that time. Edited February 22, 2011 by Allan Heron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also be curious to know if the change in kick-off time would affect policing costs. Does the club pay a flat rate or might they have to pay extra for early shift officers working overtime? It's over 20 years since I left "Strathclyde's Finest", so I'm not sure what their current shift pattern is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
