I do remember a Scottish Cup game v Rangers years ago when we were in the Railway end. Lost 1-0 think De Boer maybe scored. The game where Amorouso planted a free kick on the Whitletts roundabout. Rings a bell, Arteta limped off early on after turning his ankle up next to wher e the disabled enclosure is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially £150,000 for an Ayr team that will barely have a new face in it, playing a Celtic reserve team. Paint on a smile and count the cash. The real stuff starts a couple of weeks later and the money made from this game could make that a whole lot better. Struggling to see how we’ll possibly make 150k from the match. For one thing, Celtic will probably take at least half the gate money - they don’t play friendlies for nothing . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned to him I was going to the Ayr game that night and he said who he was. He still plays at Hurlford nowadays. Is he back at Hulford? I went to a few Girvan games near November and he playing for them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're very clearly doing this as a favour to Brown so I very much doubt we are paying their usual appearance fee for a friendly. It'll be a negligible contribution. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, clearly the link with Brown and Celtic/Rodgers is helping let's be honest if it was still BGM in charge we would be playing Sheffield Wednesdays under 15s with lucky if 2k were there, let Smith have his day in the sun opening the new stand Infront of an packed house and loads of press even if they are there for Celtic and not us. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lot have bought lots and lots of tickets and we'll be laughing all the way to the bank. f**k it, arrange a friendly against Rangers v2 for the week after and charge that lot £20 a pop as well. Ffs don’t you lot understand that you have to pay these mobs a rather large match fee just to turn up at your pit. They don’t do charity work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do for club legends who didn't get a proper send off because of COVID, no one is saying they are doing it for free but I'm sure Brown has pulled in a few favours 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hursty Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I can't imagine any situation where I'd be angry enough about something football related to find myself on the thread of another club getting worked up about how much they may or may not make from a friendly. I'd actually be very surprised if I even knew if anyone else in our league was even playing one of the OF in a friendly come to think of it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
