Whilst sharing with them is slightly more palatable than Rangers B. It does beg the question, what on earth is the point of Broomhill FC? It really is perplexing. They have never have and are never going to have a fanbase. Absolutely nobody cares about Broomhill in whatever guise they muster or whatever town they pitch up next. Surely even the owner must be getting bored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pitch isn't good at the best of times. It can't sustain 2 teams playing on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarko_son Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I've got no idea what we charged Rangers B or what we'll be charging Broomhill for the pitch but the only real outcome is we'll see is an absolutely woeful pitch again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Rangers groundstaff couldn't make the park any better then two teams and no additional groundstaff really is going to be something else. No games between November and mid-April at home if there's a moderately bad winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shafted Maryhill when they ground shared at Lochburn.Moved to Alloa with a benefactor,he pulled out and they upped sticks for the Si Ferry show at Broadwood. An absolute joke of a club and all that is wrong with the Lowland League. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still only a rumour I suppose, but if it's true it's yet another shite decision to add to a growing list.

sonsanorak Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I've heard the hire to Rangers was worth £1500 per game and amounted to a decent share of the clubs income. Hard to knock back for a club short on cash or looking to compete for good players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip side is, had we won the league (and I'm not saying the pitch was the deciding factor but it certainly didn't help) then the £20k or so would have been dwarfed by the extra prize money and bigger away supports next year. If we had a plastic pitch then I would probably be perfectly fine with it. Can't believe anyone would want to pay to play on our Passchendaele of a pitch anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to knock back for a club short on cash or looking to compete for good players. 1500 for 18 games is 27K. 94 full paying adults on a Saturday gives you the same amount each week. I doubt it was a decent share of our income, certainly not enough to look after pitch maintenance costs anyway. Its hard to knock back for a club who have made a complete mess of our sponsors deals, managed to piss off one of the only local companies looking to invest in the club whilst simultaneously advertising dodgy operations free of charge. It's hard to knock back for a club who are losing fans due to continually backing a complete loser of a manager. We can say we're in a tough financial position which forced us to share a pitch with a bunch of wankers who were sending death threats to one of our players but that tough financial position is entirely self inflicted. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And £35k sponsorship money that wasn't paid would have covered the income from Rangers B, with a little bit left over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where are those good players you mention ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sponsorship deal still defies belief, did DFC do any homework at all? Thinking that cowboy builders with virtually no assets, who should probably be appearing on Rogue Traders would stump up £35k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFCTTFM Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Tony Wallace leaving Annan, would you take him? I'd see him as a decent option especially if Kalvin is away Edited May 25, 2023 by DFCTTFM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having experienced a previous non-payment of sponsorship by the Andy Hosie-owned Bet Butler company a number of years ago, a situation eventually resolved by his late father clearing the amount due, the DFC Board decided to prove that lightning can strike twice by entering a second agreement with another of his zombie outfits. Go on, guess the outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due dilligence seems to be an alien concept Wouldn't bet against the Club making it a hat-trick & seeing A.H Laundry Services on our jerseys next season lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
