craigiemack Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Would also like to make a poignant post. Its been a long time since any of us have been at a game and I'm sure all of our lives have been forever changed by covid. When we stand at kick off on Saturday or whenever we first get our injection of hoof baw shithousery I'd hope that we all take a moment to reflect and think of those that we have lost over this terrible time. LeoMessi, Jerry Maguire, Tutenkamum, Bob FTP Malcolm and of course his Lord and Saviour BU Brian to name but a few. The LL will not be the same with you. God bless you all. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Trigger's Broomhill starting against both the uni teams, who presumably don't have half their squads, is wild. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but that's more due to incompetence rather than cyclical squad building as a University team. FWIW I thought Gormley came over really well on that podcast. Liked his honesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Thought I might take a dander down to Bonnyrigg today v Celtic B as at least they took a stand in the vote against the cheeks. But it's ST holders only. Is this just for the Rangers/Celtic visits then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski64 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Think a few more were signed yesterday along with 2 loan players from Alloa. Aye but that's more due to incompetence rather than cyclical squad building as a University team. FWIW I thought Gormley came over really well on that podcast.

Notice it has been reported Robbie saying he’s going in blind with Celtic not submitting a squad list for the league. Another rule gone by the wayside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but then they would have had to cap their STs (at 250?) which doesn't make a lot of sense either, especially if the SG relax the restrictions later. It seems from their twitter that ST holders can just walk up, they're not doing a ballot like say ICT did, nor does it look like free PPV is being offered to any overspill. Mind you, fair play, that would be a hoor of a healthy sales figure... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd estimate we have somewhere around 200, maybe a little more, season ticket holders so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any word on where the money was spent? Normally I wouldn't be fussed about the league being publically accountable for every penny, but given the bad PR this has generated it might be worth them actually saying what good has come out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it became clear it wasn't just getting split between the clubs, it was suggested it would go into the marketing of the league. Other than that suggestion I haven't seen anything specific. Certainly hasn't been any noticeable changes compared to the past few years at any rate. Maybe they're hoping for the OF 'B'ump before going on a spending spree 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWeatherFan Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 No idea other than into the league supposedly. They made sure to say it wasn't as simple as £50k divided by 16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
