Shibuya Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hi guys, Invading the Prem forum here but I hope you guys can spare two minutes to help out my club. As I am sure you are aware, we were recently shopped to the Procurator Fiscal to the Court of the Lord Lyon by an Airdrie supporter for sporting a badge that is in breach of heraldic law for having 1) a Saltire within an enclosed shape and 2) having lettering within an enclosed shape. The law dates back to the 1600s and is one of those ridiculous old laws that has no place in society any more. We are looking to petition our local MP, Corri Wilson and MSP, John Scott to raise this law with the Secretary of State for Culture, John Whittingdale MP. In order to do this we need the backing of as many Scottish football fans as possible, if you are reading this then please take two minutes to sign our petition and help Save The Badge! If you are thinking "why would I help Ayr United?" I can fully understand, however please be aware that over 20 Scottish clubs could be forced to change their badge unless we can get this law changed (I'm looking at you, Dundee and Hearts!) Thank you all! https://www.change.org/p/john-whittingdale-mp-corri-wilson-mp-save-ayr-united-fc-s-badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Just make the A into an artful and cutting edge of design goal shape, sorted. I've signed though, this is a lot of pish. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Get the badge changed and stop breaking the law. Somebody should've shopped your lot years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 As the Establishment club, the government will step in if there's the hint of a threat to Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks to all who have signed so far, we're over 600 signatures after 24 hours and we want to hit 1,000 today! Please encourage your pals to sign. As I said, this hurts Ayr United today but it could be another club down the line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitongo's Left Peg Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Already signed. An absolute joke that this bellend is allowed to cite archaic nonsense and force clubs into changing their badge. Hopefully if this is overturned then Killie can go back to our old crest and ditch the absolute monstrosity that we're currently saddled with.

itzdrk Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Who the f**k is Lord Lyon anyway? Some religious nutjob thats who. Send him to Syria, or worse, send him to Somerset Park. Ha ha ha ha ah aha ha aahaha ha ha For that, you are facing a visit to Somerset Park in January now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
