Minutes of Meeting
Between ATAC and SFA Present: Tam Ferry (EASTA) Tam Coyle (WESTA) Freda Mathews
(??)
Info Thanks to excellent work by Alison and Angela extra match tickets were secured giving a total of 3,400 for Scotland fans in Sections F and G (2,000) behind the goals and in nearby Section E (1,400). Info Huge message from Derek is get there early. He couldn’t stress this enough as the entrances are poor in terms of size. Match kick-off is 7.30 p.m. local time and it is hoped the ground will be open 3 hrs before kick off. Action: ATAC to spread the word ATAC asked if they knew rough split of those staying in Kaunas and those in Vilnius. Tam C suggested 80:20 which was agreed as a good guesstimate by the rest of ATAC. Derek would like as much information as possible on how people are getting to and from Kaunas. Note the public transport stops well before the end of the game. (Ally from Longforgan TA is running some busses). Action: Tam F to supply as many details as are to hand to Derek Derek said the Lithuanians are really looking forward to our visit as our presence went down well with the locals the last time and the police praised the Tartan Army. Typical Eastern European reply to Derek’s question to the Lithuanian police on how many officers will be on duty. The reply of “Sufficient!” raised a smile. Info Alison will be in Kaunas NOT Vilnius on Tuesday and will have a temporary office at the ice rink adjacent to Section C of the stadium and will be there at some point in the afternoon. Info Tickets are expected to be delivered to Glasgow Monday or Tuesday of next week and they will be issued with the usual SCC travel guide, which is always, appreciated by ATAC members. (Simon gave a contact to help Alison and Angela obtain information for future guides). Info Tam Ferry put forward the embryonic idea of trying out some kind of fans embassy. David agreed this was a good idea. Action: Tam F to put forward a suggested format. 2. Ukraine Info 3. SFA/ATAC Relationship It is much easier to use this forum that to try to attempt with dealing with so many individuals. Info 4. New Scotland Strip Info 5. The 60 day rule Basically the game was put out to tender and only two clubs put a tender in namely, Celtic and Aberdeen. The SFA could not say any earlier for commercial reasons who had bid and who had not. A further issue was the change in fixture dates themselves. The closing date for tender was the end of April and a decision was made on 05/06/06 to make it Celtic Park for size of stadium basis more than anything else given the last Faroes match attracted 41,000. Murrayfield was not considered as it is not a football ground and the exits are not as good as the alternative sites (example was last night’s Champions League Qualifier where Derek and Steve encountered problems). ATAC understood the logic but feel that the 60 day rule doesn’t help those who want to make travel arrangements. They are in discussions already with their English, Welsh and Irish counterparts with a view to drafting a letter to football’s international governing bodies. Action: ATAC’s work to continue 6. Under 19s David said there is a good chance we will also be one of the top seeds giving rise to playing in one of the better venues (Vancouver or Toronto perhaps) Info 7. Euro 2016 Bid? The 2008 vote was very politically charged and Scotland needed to be voted into the top 3 and it didn’t happen. The process David felt did not lend itself to success for us and “tactical” voting led to us losing out. As well as finance, the numbers of compliant stadiums is still our problem particularly as stadiums of 30,000+ are being talked about as a possibility of being the minimum criteria for capacities towards the end of the decade for Champions League matches. Info 8. Away tickets The rule is not quite set that way. Instead as £20 was set as the price for us, then we in turn will now charge the Lithuanians the same at Hampden. Info 9. Availability in the shops of Scotland
shirts Merchandise stalls will be set up outside and possibly inside Celtic Park for the Faroes game as well as some Scotland merchandise being available in the Celtic Shop outside the ground. The new kit can be ordered on-line form tomorrow on www.officialscotland.com. There is also a new away kit available from March 2007. 10. Points for away games Info
Action: Colin will find out 12. Ticket Applications 13. Ticket outlets for non-SSC sales • Hearts Info 14. 2012 Olympics Team GB Info Meeting closed at 16:35 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| T.S.T.A
Annual General Meeting Minutes Sunday 5th February 2006 Apologies. An apology for non-attendance, due to urgent personal business, was received from David Baird, Vice Captain. Accounts. As at the 5th February 2006 the club has £217.14 in the bank. The committee asked that any other member wish to examine the accounts over the past year to contact David Baird. Membership Fees As the club is in a healthy state, financially, it was agreed that fees for 2006 would remain the same i.e. £10 joining fee with an annual subscription of £10. Bus Prices The prices for this year will be £6 per member / £8 for non-members. It was also agreed that a first child would travel free with a second or more being charged £2. Please note the prices may change if any increase of cost for the hire of the bus. Euro 2008 The draw and dates have been agreed and the decision on the fixtures is expected to be made this Friday (10th). The major problem the committee have is knowing who can go to which games abroad. To combat this the members were asked to form small groups to arrange their own travel arrangements and let the committee know, as soon as possible, so that accommodation can be arranged. It was agreed that in general the TSTA would stay at the venue the day before and the day of the game i.e. two nights. STC, Passport and Personal Details All members were asked to email any changes to their details to David Baird. THE ACCURACY OF OUR RECORDS ARE CRUCIAL, IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT YOUR DETAILS RECORDED PLEASE EMAIL DAVID. 2006 Dance & BBQ It was agreed that we should have a dance this year. We have provisionally pencilled in Saturday 25th March at Pumpherston Golf Club. Brian McKendrick agreed to apply to the club and report back. Unfortunately our usual band have disbanded, excuse the pun. Peter Christie agreed to speak to Ted to see if he could do disco / fun night and report back. It was also agreed to have a BBQ at Almondell Country Park. In line with previous years’ the corresponding date this year is Saturday 15th July. This will depend on availability and will be confirmed in the next few weeks. Election of Office Bearers The nomination of potential office bearers was requested. This was unanimously accepted that the existing committee remain and was proposed and seconded likewise. On a personal note I would like to thank everyone who has helped our club over the past year. You know who you are! AOB Sponsorship Steve Morris announced that Whyte & Mackay are interested in sponsoring the TSTA. The details have to be agreed but the members accepted the idea in principle. Steve agreed to pursue and report back. Hoozfurra 69 T Shirt It was agreed that we should get “new” hoozfurra t-shirts. Brian McKendrick offered to speak to Dave Simpson to get an indication of costs etc and report back. Smoker Andrew Malloy suggested that we have a smoker / “gentlemen’s” afternoon or evening. He had already spoke to a member of the local masonic lodge who could arrange a booking. As an alternative Malky Cowan mentioned that the Italians next door doesn’t open on a Sunday afternoon and it might be possible to get something arranged. Andrew and Malky agreed to meet representatives of both places and report back.
