Jan Vojáček Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hi guys, Not sure if this is widely known, but stumbled across it on Twitter this afternoon and it makes for fairly unpleasant reading. Hope you get the job done against Accies. You lot are due a return to the big leagues after the past few seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't play for Airdrie again and surprised he's still been featuring in squads as surely the club knew this was going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He better not be in the squad on Saturday and tbf i don't think there was any chance of him staying but we better not see him again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've certainly not seen it mentioned anywhere, so it must have been kept pretty quiet. It seems like he knows he's in the wrong and even if you take his initial version of events, it's not a good look and very poor behaviour. I suspect he'll be off to the Lowland League or West of Scotland in the summer anyway but would be surprised if he featured on Saturday now, not that he was likely to anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_diamond Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 That is grim. He could be in a fair bit of bother here considering how high profile (and rightly so) consent based issues are currently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah especially with the fact he handed himself in, I don't think his version of events really says any different. Hope the girl's alright and gets the outcome she deserves. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he’s handed himself in and has admitted his wrongdoing might actually reduce what ever punishment he’ll receive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the fact the article says he’s up in front of a jury, it doesn’t look like he’s pleading guilty and having read this it’s absolutely grim and I cannot see how he won’t be convicted. He should be no where near us or any other club again. I sincerely hope we did not know about this.

Kenny_m Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Doesn't make good reading admittedly but we shouldn't be making judgements on snips from the Sun. If guilty then he deserves what's coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Financially the play-offs must have been a big boost to the club. Across the 2 games that's around 6 thousand fans, say an average ticket price of £15 that's around £90k, plus hospitality etc. I know putting the games on involves a not insignificant cost, however that's still a big chunk extra which can hopefully go towards a competitive squad next season. Our prize money for the whole season is £104k, the receipts from these 2 games alone aren't far off matching that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that the home club get 15% for expenses and any hospitality income. 50% goes to SPFL and remainder split between the two teams. so 32.5% of the gate to the home team, 17.5% to the away team Not a huge money spinner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you read this? I know Premiership play-offs take a cut to fund parachute payments. Never heard of anything about lower league play-offs doing this though. Why is there a need to split the gates when there is a home and away leg? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did miss however the outside atmosphere shared with your good self. Still relaxed about Saturday but let's go for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
