deecie Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Is that not a bit of s contradiction ? You are saying only a small percentage wouldn't be in a reg TA yet none of your 30 mates are ? I can imagine a large % are in SSC as its the formal way to get away tickets No. He's saying most of his 30 mates are in the SSC. None are in a 'Tartan Army Club'.

Robroysboy Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The Cyprus TA must be the only TA club that has 100% attendance of all it's members at away games it travels to..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newryrep Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) was badly worded but get the gist cheers I take it the Cyprus TA meets in a phone box ? ( on a serous note is there a certain criteria minimum number before you can get accredited/to ATAC, ) Edited July 6, 2015 by Newryrep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Was it not 100+ members to join ATAC, then relaxed to 50+ few years back and now scrapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goozay Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Was it not 100+ members to join ATAC, then relaxed to 50+ few years back and now scrapped? 25 according to the website http://www.associationoftartanarmyclubs.com/how-to-form-a-tartan-army-club/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it was ever as high as that but my memory is a bit vague. Hey what do I know though, I only drafted the constitution! As I said before, I haven't been involved for a couple of years so I've no idea what the current situation is but it's always been about being as inclusive as possible.

Talking few years now but ny memory is the 100+ members was the reason for the breakaway clubs who left ATAC and tried to set up their own version of ATAC (but SFA were not interested in talking to them) and the criteria on member numbers was relaxed few years later to get more clubs involved.

Again from memory, it was originally 50 members for full membership and 25 members for Associate membership which ulitimately was dropped and 25 members was adopted across the board. It's worth noting that these are SSC members. Clubs have left ATAC over the years for a number of reasons including being unable/unwilling to prove that they met the membership criteria.
