What's the story behind that? ETA: it's the hands down winner on face value. Edited February 11, 2018 by Savage Henry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The old BOD took £50k from the green cheek for them to rent out SMP in the pre-season of 2015/16 (IIRC the Celtic Park pitch was being resurfaced) They played against some Dutch mob and Real Sociedad. The old board were really past giving a fuck about the club by that stage and £50k with the consequence of us becoming a laughing stock (due to the club shop rebranding) was of no consequence to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have done the same - which is by and large, fair enough, without the need of the big f**k off branding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The St Mirren - Celtic Club Shop thing brought to mind Michael Johnson the ex-killie chairman for some reason, because I'm sure he was widely derided on here for being quite brazen with sooking the Celtic/Rangers boaby; a quick search of Michael Johnson brought up this thread on P&B : In full disclosure I can't really say how much of that is true, but abstaining in the big vote was pretty tin-pot. I'm sure that the Rangers title winning game mentioned in there got a fair bit of press even among the MSM for being an absolute disaster, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe true although I don't remember that - but he was desperate to allow Celtic fans to have the Cooper Stand at Fir Park and sent out a consultation to Cooper Season Ticket holders asking them to "vote" on it as he felt it would be worth 6 figures to the club. When - as anyone that understands a west of scotland diddy club support would expect - a resounding "no" came back - he did it anyway. Tinpot.

Jamie_M Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 A team having another teams club shop at their own stadium is probably unusual. Can't believe the St Mirren fans were ok with it. It's an undoubted thread winner. It's hard to imagine a situation where that would ever be possible anywhere else. Absolutely tinpot, absolute minter and utterly shameful. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It's hard to imagine a situation where that would ever be possible anywhere else. I think Barnet used to sell Arsenal gear, not sure if they still do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they re-brand their stadium? Also, it's not even remotely close to 2 teams that have/could be competing at the same level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
