FairWeatherFan Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 1 hour ago, LongTimeLurker said: What's in it for sponsors though if a club has no fans and little or no community interest? Without Open Goal on board somebody must be funding this level of operations out of their own pocket or odds on it's going to fold soon. The irony is that a new WoS club called Knightswood is going to be playing senior football out of the Scotstoun 3G cage pitch next season that we were always told was a nonstarter for BSC, which calls into question just how necessary the whole stadium odyssey was. Can't wait to see Knightswood get licenced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t seem how Broomhill (and maybe EK for that matter?) can be allowed to register players until this is sorted. It shouldn’t take much to prove whether salaries have been paid or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think EK are on the hook in any way for what Si Ferry may or may not have done at another club last season. Think one of the players who is out of pocket because of this would have to actively bring the SFA into it before any transfer or player registration ban would be applicable where Broomhill is concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Si Ferry’s company were paying the bills last season at Broomhill, and if it turns out they have not paid them all, then I don’t see why he should be allowed to work for and fund another club until it’s satisfactorily resolved. it seems logical to me, and I’m not having a go just because it’s Ferry, would be the same principe for anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si ferry is in no way funding ek. Lets get that straight. He is employed as a coach. Guys running ek could buy and sell open goal for fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if Gartcairn are able to achieve an entry level licence because their 3G cage was pretty much as challenging to turn into something resembling a football ground at the outset as the Scotstoun 3G pitch would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
