The Scottish Premiership has 4 “coastal” teams: Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hearts and Hibs. The Championship has 7: Arbroath, Ayr United, Cove, Dundee, Inverness CT, Morten and Raith Rovers. League 1 has 3: FC Edinburgh, Montrose and Peterhead. League 2 has 3: Dumbarton, East Fife and Stranraer. Should we come up with another, similarly insulting name for Leagues 1 and 2? It depends what you define as 'seaside' I suppose I would add to the criteria that as well as being near the coast it also has to be a small town with a long history of no top flight football (aka in my lifetime) for the full diddy/ bucket and spade experience. The kind of place where the food kiosks consist of a single burger van and the toilets resemble portaloos. I've highlighted the teams in your post that this would apply to. Interestingly the Championship still has the most and League 1 has the least, after the Premiership Edited July 26, 2022 by NavyBlueArmy1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 1 hour ago, muppetshow said: no payments were due, with the exception of the coming season and it was removed prior to any contact from the club, which was actually only initiated by us upon noticing its disappearance. yes there's more important things to be sorted but there's been a good bit of chat on here regarding the state of the advertising contracts and payments not being made etc so felt this was relevant. i have heard that there's been a lot up for years without payment and obviously would expect them to be removed..... Then that needs to be fixed regardless of “more important stuff” or not. It’s a reputational thing. If your board had been paid year on year, and a club employee made the decision to dismantle your advertising board without any form of consultation, then it’s up to the club to provide the new board should you have wished to continue. Simple as that. I think we all know well enough that we now have a Board who want to do the right things for the club……that in itself is a huge shift from the last mob. Thing is, people pointing stuff out that is wrong or not working correctly should continue to do so. They are pointing legitimate stuff out, not ripping the club to pieces.………..and importantly, they are not demanding that it be moved to the top of any list of priorities, nor are they denying the Board “a bit of slack”. The real crap patter is them then being criticised for doing so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real crap patter is them then being criticised for doing so. Exactly this. We’re supposed to have a club that is run by fans for the fans. Too often have boards in the past tried to shout down criticism. I don’t see any indication the new board are like this however it’s not a good look if people close to them are shouting down any fair criticism on here. The club tweeted today that they have made the club shop hours consistent each week due to fans comments. That’s a good sign that they are listening. It’s also a completely sensible critique from those that suggested it. Making the fixture list available and hopefully fixing it to be accurate is another good suggestion. It’s little things and possibly trivial but if it means people don’t turn up to a closed shop when the hours have changed for a particular day or that some fans can easily check when our next home game is, then it’s a step in the right direction to having a more effectively run club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Well, my iPad is now showing STs for Season 21/22. It was fine earlier in the day, so there does indeed seem to be a ghost in the machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I know we are struggling financially but disappointed to see us have a gambling company on the jerseys. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgenarse Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I note that a lot of people on twitter wetting their pants about having a betting sponsor presumably because betting can be harmful. The same folk who probably have skin tight clothing due to weight gain, little activity and who drink lager and smoke tabs after work. When did we gain such a puritan support base 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issue for me, take the cash where we can get it. I get why people don’t like it but it’s not an issue for me either. Gambling adverts are everywhere and if the league was sponsored by a gambling company, as it has been in the past, then it would already be on our strips. Drinks companies bring up the same ethical dilemma and the Budweiser Budvar sponsor was the best we’ve had in a long time(and won the league twice with it). I had no issue with that either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braes_Bairn Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Wouldn’t be my choice of sponsor. Can’t imagine they are paying much but I suppose we must be desperate for any income. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink too much but it’s down to me, if we had an alcohol sponsor I wouldn’t make a fuss about it as it’s my choice. I know the harm I’m doing to myself.
