Just to keep the thread tosspots happy, I see alcohol deaths are at a 15 year high in Scotland, a good job they have the minimum unit price. :emoticon-0138-think

Set to rise to 65p(from 50p) on the 30th of this Month...You couldn't make it up!!!
 
Fewer drink and those that do, dont do it as regularly as we did/do... Cost, careers, different social patterns and not the pub culture that existed before.

Yet somehow more cocaine being snorted than ever before ... So is it a percentage of golden oldies absolutely caning it, the wealthy professional classes hoovering it up or are the youth raw-dogging the drugs without the alcohol precursors...
It's no wonder clubbing in the 90's was better. (I say that as someone who hasn't stopped clubbing since the 90's).

Cottingham training ground is a prime area for housing, I would assume, and value should be higher than land we could buy out of town. Why we don't look to build a training facility, like many clubs do, away from the MKM, using for a large part money generated for the sale of Cottingham?

As OLM says, the area around the stadium isn't big enough anyhow, and better to have all teams under one roof so to speak, I would think was a much better plan.

I have raised this before, there were ambitious plans to develop HRI area, which included a rail stop. Not sure how far it went? Let’s be ambitious and combine the two schemes, and **** the newts off! There is a huge segment of unused land going upto Hymers, either side of the railway line.

Apparently the access road is too narrow for any more houses or they would have done it years ago
 
How come I can't afford to be alcoholic and I work full time but there are loads in glasgow city centre who never worked in thier life.
I think Glasgow City Centre has bigger problems than alcoholism,there seems to be a huge rise in drug addicts walking the Streets these days.I was in at the weekend and Argyle St in particular has become a hot-spot for zombified people staggering around and asking for money.

I ended up jumping on a bus up to Byres Rd to get away from it,as it's depressing at best...

Building a halt/station there is down to Railtrack (I think). But I don't think there is much enthusiasm to expand on that line. A local councillor (Cons) kept pushing for a halt at Priory Road footbridge and got nowhere. A park and ride scheme in the parish of Dunswell was also pooh pahed.

Will get worse with the legal drug rooms opening in city centre
 
I just can't see a new training ground been built in the near future
unless we get to the Premier League and don't get relegated in the first season

That halt idea was never going to happen, it would only be a few hundred yards from the platform at Paragon (and less than a mile to walk), nobody was ever going to agree to spend millions building it. I think there's currently a £30m funding bid in with the Levelling Up Fund for the Park & Ride at Kingswood.
