Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Come up tonight and you will see. It certainly is true of League 1 and 2 which would make it the majority. When we were in the 2nd and 3rd division police still patrolled the ground at least once. Infact, is there not a requirement based on a crowd size?Brechin stewards can't even deal with a handful of steaming Morton fans without biting them. What chance would they have against 100 chinged up green brigade wanabes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I have seen the bobbies at Balmoor a grand total of three times since Sevco left the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be too critical of other clubs' stewarding going by Dumbarton's immaculate standards though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 That Berwick statement clears something up for me, that either I misunderstood or was misreported, regards the £2500 paid per game. From the statement, it is actually 250 tickets purchased, that will then be distributed as they see fit (as in then resold to their own fans), so let's say those 250 fans were going anyway - all that's then happening is that those fans give their money to their colt club, who then pass it to the home club, rather than paying the home club directly at the turnstile. That doesn't really give extra income to the home club, it only guarantees selling at least 250 tickets, and only benefits the home club if less that 250 OF colt fans turn up. I think.

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's a bribe and a small bribe at that. Hope any club that signs up to this is forever shunned by the rest of Scottish football. Gutless, greedy b*****ds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of just accepting the money, any club in favour should be forced to rebrand as Celtic/Rangers B/C/D etc imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed that the tickets will be "bought" by the colts team at less than the adult price. Theoretically, the colts can actually make a profit from the tickets.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Good to see Jim McInally coming out and speaking against this. I understand clubs want to consult supporters before officially going against it and that's leading to a lot fence sitting esque statements but there is nothing stopping individuals getting their opinions out there.On yerself Jim. Hopefully more follow his lead.Here's his interview for anyone who might have missed it...http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/sport/football/scottish-football/peterhead-boss-slams-colts-idea-from-old-firm-clubs-he-says-are-out-to-bully-way-in/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Anyone cynical like me to think that this has very little to do with developing young players, but instead to give the OF a justification in a few years to continue to field clubs in the SPFL once they finally move into the EFL or Atlantic League or whatever shit League they propose to end up in for their own selfish financial benefit?

I don’t doubt it. Eventually they’d be bringing in enough cash that they could spend enough that their “colt” team ends up being better than Aberdeen and the Edinburgh clubs, so they’d be able to use it as a backdoor to the champions league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
