Regardless of them turning up or not. Considering some of the people promoted as buying season tickets during the sales push, it wouldn't be surprising to seem them elsewhere yesterday. If I could be bothered, I could count the crowd off the video but don’t think it would be 565. It’s an old trick to inflate the attendance in attempt to generate more interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I would imagine Rangers and Celtic both playing at home would have impacted the attendance regardless of what the actual figure was. The novelty will wear off when people see how cold it is at Broadwood any time after mid September 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigiemack Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I asked the bold 'mozza' on twitter but he didn't reply so I will open it up to the fine people of pie and bovril. At what point do BSC do away with the 'Broomhill' identity. It's clear the new 'owners' see them as 'Open Goal' and I don't think i've ever heard them refer to themselves as Broomhill. I'll give it this season till its the done away with and they officially call themselves Open Goal FC which is clealy what they want. Then who knows what will come when this joke era ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Never really understood BSC or even Broomhill Open Goal , imagine they'd tried to find a rapid way into the spfl or something.A modern name to attract modern, equality,unbiased, anti no-one fans, similar to the Hashtag mob down south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is obviously a plan. Seems that Opengoal are owned by Peter Lawwells son so that explains the bankrolling and who is actually running the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From years of experience, Broadwood is not a great place to watch football and I do wonder how long the enthusiasm will hold up once the novelty factor wears off. Clyde were attracting crowds into the thousands during our early days in Cumbernauld and that certainly didn’t hold up (despite being a Cumbernauld based Clyde fan myself). I can’t see that level of attendance being sustainable once the supporters who turn up for Si and “the Horny Winger” realise that watching Lowland League football in January isn’t the same as watching/listening a new episode of your favourite Podcast. If they do manage to sustain it then fair play to them! They are doing something totally different and because of that they are going to get caned for it, from being at a few Airdrie vs Peterhead games and listening to the podcast you can see how serious Ferry takes it and won't be seeing this as a giggle. I think the fact that they have fans of the podcast going and how cheap it is to go to one of their games with the £99 season ticket they can definitely attract fans, it is just about putting on a good show for them to keep them coming. I hope they do well and living in Newcastle now I will probably go along to their away game against Berwick. If they can manage to keep a few hundred coming I think they will be doing well, great start to them at the weekend as Spartans are a solid side. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part is he taking serious? Rebranding the club after his podcast or signing his mate Slane? What do you think will come first for him, the podcast or the club?

The owners have rebranded it unless I am missing something and he is the owner, as far as I am aware Paul Lawell is the owner. Let's be honest Slane will hardly if any play any games, and with your point about the podcast coming first etc as I have said unless I am missing something it is down to Paul Lawell with that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more for the coaching aspect of it, will also be some content for them with the documentary they made.

Scottish Sun Ferrari Packaging GeoSonic Clarke EPOS The naming rights for clubs usually aren't for sale because sponsorships don't last. If it's a sponsorship agreement that makes the name change temporary. The SFA never should have sanctioned the name change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
