Not surprised your taking that stance Ben, as you have been were very much let down by the comments of one of our players and it only gives these young bams more encouragement to continue.

Just spoke to the two on beat constables who were patrolling Summerlee Museum area. They are aware of incidents and Divisional Inspector is holding a meeting today with Social Work etc. to tackle the youth problems in Coatbridge and Airdrie.
I asked them to try and ensure we have officers on duty around the stadium on Saturday.
I'm not holding my breath though.
I must say that I've never been fearful for our staff, stewards and supporters whilst attending a match at Cliftonhill but last night was as bad as I've ever seen.
If this continues the only people left will be the neds on the wall.
They don't realise they are ruining it for everyone, including their pals who attend and don't abuse staff etc.
Time for the young ones to stand up to the three or four who are causing the problems.
Plus it's time we had more active directors. We cannot have only two operational board members on a match day. Both are senior in years and there urgently needs to be younger actively involved new board members.
And no, I don't mean me but there's plenty of younger talent amongst the shareholders and fanbase.

Peter makes a good point...constitutionally the club can have nine directors, at present we have four and of these only two ..as Peter succinctly puts it are `operational`...which doesn`t help when you are playing host to visitors etc. The BOD needs to be expanded to share the load.

Can’t see how younger directors are going to eradicate the behaviour of a few eejits. |

Be a real shame to lose use Ben . I’m at my whits end with these neds. Amount of complaints we’ve had about them this season by other clubs fans and I’m left embarrassed by the neds. We’ve offered them so much I personally said to them instead of pyro I’ll look into a smoke machine which Spartans did for theirs. One of the neds once said to me use need us to survive we don’t . Will no doubt make future games requiring a paying adult for under 16s more stewards and police as this matter have too far I’m sickened by the events of last night and I know many other clubs are at their whits end by ruining their clubs name. Barb wire on the hill wall at the club’s expense may be required. These Ned’s parents need to know what it’s doing

The club shouldn't be offering anything like smoke machines. The clubs obligations are to provide safe terracing, toilets and as decent a team as possible.
A show of sorts starts at 3pm most Saturdays and we can pay to come in and watch. Fans or 'ultras' as these wee tools seem to think they are, should pay to come in and watch or if they don't want to do that, go and do something else.
If they started letting of pyro etc at the cinema they'd have the police called and barred. We shouldn't be facilitating them or giving credence to their daft wishes.

Is it time to think about e-ticketing for next season?
May need a slight increase in admission prices to cover costs.

Something had to be done. Last night's great win has been ruined by the disgusting events off the pitch.

It's really all been said but how long had we been saying they had to go! They were pandered to at the expense of the diehard fans and the players made it worse. I hope the player who had a go a at Ben is spoken to by the club and made to apologise at the very least. You have to ask whether he should stay at the club for that. Disgusting. I also hope the club have taken note of the unofficial forum on Facebook where these idiots are threatening to disrupt the Tuesday night east Kilbride game. I have now quit that forum as the amount of slanderous abuse I and others were getting on it was shocking. Sadly it may have to be closed down.
The problem with these idiots is not restricted to the rovers. It is widespread in our town centre and communities at present. Good to hear the police are holding meetings about it. Action would be better.
