No, not really interesting. Just means that their name will appear on the club's social media and website.

Experiential rights…that word’s doing a power of lifting. Just seems a wee bit twiddly…but, as others have noted, the company owners seem right good Pars c**ts, so probably just fine. Nice to see them keep EEP clearly in the name, as others have noted, totally unrelated names drive ya nuts.

YW, BTW, noticed this little blurb in the Dum Press (bold is mine, interesting eh?):

“In a first of its kind deal for the club, KDM Shopfitting Limited – who trade as KDM Group – have signed a long-term partnership with the Pars which will see extensive branding of the stadium along with a number of digital and experiential rights.

Not interesting in the slightest since it's the same wording used on the club's official website that I've already read.

Dens has been called The Kilmac Stadium for about 6-7 year.

No one pays attention to it and everyone still calls it Dens except on official broadcasts.

Money for nothing basically.

Bolton are the team I think about when it comes to nam changes of the stadium. Can guarantee 90% of people would still call it the Reebok despite it changing 8 year ago. Money for nothing can’t see why anyone would complain.

We simply need all the money we can get. Even clubs our size are going to struggle once the shit truly hits the fan next year with the soaring energy bills. Christ knows how the part-timers in League 2 are going to manage it.

Nah, not an option for the 'birthday caird pish' crowd who are all crying into their scarves and mumbling about the good old days.

Seemingly there's an idea around about moving kick off times to earlier to avoid having to use the floodlights.

No idea if that is actually being genuinely considered mind, or how feasible it would be if serious.

Just a traditionalist, love a bit of tradition me. Like I say, it's all good given that the name East End is still in there and it'll probably never be mentioned anywhere of note. 

Would we change our team colours from black n white to yellow n red for a McDonalds sponsorship? Not for me. 

But aye, I feared the worst, but this is fine.

Interesting, hadn't see this anywhere. Guess it would have to be 1pm kick off to make it guaranteed to work in December? If you calculated the collective cost for all clubs there may be a strong argument for it.

I think it's a totally sensible idea and why I doubt the SPFL will go for it. It would also mean you could sell more TV games.

I think that makes a lot of sense actually.

Would be easier if we didn't live in a country that kept voting for absolute c*nts to run the country, causing this economic hell for businesses and working people, but hey-ho.

Checked out that East End Bounce as I'd only ever heard of DAFC.net and found this response to the news:

Fucking hell. Safe to say that's the haven for zoomers?

To be fair it's normally fairly reasoned compared to .net but this guy clearly feels very strongly about it.

Not far off how some wallopers have reacted to the news though tbf.

Same boring old sods that would prefer to sit in silence at the game and mumble endlessly to their equally tedious pals.

I heard someone moan to their pal about the lack of programmes and said they would consider not coming back if the programmes stopped. Madness.

Never even heard of that tbh.

It was set up by folk who were pissed off at Brian from dotnet being close to the Masterton regime and banning posters IIRC. I started off using it occasionally but it hardly got any traffic and was full off some of the folk from the old website who thought they were funny but were just try-hards.

We could do what Besiktas did and sell McDonald's food in the stadium in black and white packaging (yellow and red being the colours of rivals Galatasaray). Fun fact trivia fans, it was the only place in the world McDonald's fries came in anything other than red and yellow packaging.

I'm never sure if he's serious or trying to be ultra sarcastic. His shtick gets quite tiresome quite quickly which is part of the reason the site doesn't get much traffic IMO.

Now you're getting rid of bridies?! Thats it. I'm done with the club. You filthy Tory!
