Jaggernaut Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Maybe the club/propco could do a funding app to scottish arts council (or whatever its called now) to get money for a resident artist to do something with the bing. Plus having an artist in residency would definatey add to our 'cultured' image. http://www.creatives...ding-programmes I'd go for something like this: http://www.thedcmoms.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DC-Arboretum-columns-by-Abel-Olivo.jpg Some in red, some in yellow, some in black.

mrD Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 it would be interesting to see how one could combine 'west end intellegensia' with 'uber-prole north glasgow' - maybe that could be the guiding question of any artistic investigation?

Milo Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) How about a red & yellow reproduction of the Callanish standing stones? They're part of our Scottish cultural heritage and there's a bonus; if the team isn't performing too well, we can ceremonially sacrifice a virgin at the next spring/autumn equinox! Mind you…….finding a virgin in Maryhill, that's going to be problematic. Edited April 24, 2013 by Milo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) what about investing into a scoreboard or something A big electronic scoreboard/noticeboard. Could be financed by advertising. Maybe even turn a wee profit?

McKennan Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 There's some good ideas in this thread, definitely. But we need to remember that the club don't own this land, which could be a barrier towards doing anything. The summer would definitely be a good time to get things moving on the bing. The club has a half interest in propco. If I recall, there are more people sitting on Thistle's board with shares in propco than there are people with Thistle shares sitting on Thistle's board. Thistle shareholders were treated to the spectacle of their directors throwing tantrums about questions over that relationship last year. I'm quite sure the club and propco could 'talk to each other' about improving the bing, Ian. Hopefully, they'll also improve the catering and foul toilets in time for next season, too.

McKennan Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Even flattening the bing would be a start. The freed up space could be used for training, storage.... At present it's useless (and ugly) except for being a talking point. The club tried that in 2006 - and it backfired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyDFA Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) David Shrigley Supposedly Thistle minded, Turner nominated conceptional artist. Hadn't heard he was that good in the sack... Fantastic idea though!!! Great artist and all-round top bloke. An arrangement of Shrigley sculptures would be a brilliant use of the bing until we get the covered safe standing area built. I believe he's to be seen occasionally in The Doublet... Or, of course, the club could just email him: [email protected] Edited April 26, 2013 by ScottyDFA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 How about we contact the Chinese and get a few hundred terracotta army statues, dress them up in Thistle strips and scarves with chants recorded from the North End being played. No ? Too costly. Well downsize it a bit with lots of red and yellow bedecked garden gnomes. We could each donate our own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
