The less notice they give means it hurts more suggests that it is being vindictive, so the board lose some of the moral high ground. Maybe the timing was because they had a quiet warning UEFA were going to step in with some bigger sanctions. Maybe if the board had explained this better then it would not have led to so much controversy and ill-feeling by so many fans?First off didn't think my reply was aggressive, sorry if it came across that way. The closing of the stand area is a punishment so the less notice they get the more it hurts. Don't see how they can be accused of deflection the AGM date was fixed months ago the match day was fixed months ago so just happenchance. Perception is important, so what is the perception the GB are giving out when they just ignore the law and the club??
I am actually in agreement with a lot of your views, and I certainly don't think the GB should be ignoring the law or genuine safety issues (for me personally, the pyros don't add anything but many people love the spectacle).
The GB do so many wonderful things such as the charity fund raising, increasing awareness on a lot of worthwhile issues and most importantly they create a legendary atmosphere which is admired across Europe - unfortunately there is the occasional "but...".
This stand-off is not doing the club any favours and I just hope it gets resolved to a satisfactory conclusion before the Cup Final and before the "new Glasgow derby" on the 29th.
