pleslie99 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just seen a twitter thread on the goings on at Morton. Doesnt look good for them and the future looks very bleak. Sounds like there are some similarities with their 'owners' and ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well myself and someone else I know have both tried to purchase kits in the past week and the only kits available are the away kit in small and extra large. Surely we could set some sort of xmas deadline and ensure we have enough stock. We’re never done reminding everyone how skint we are but we don’t help ourselves at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 There was a charity collector in Clydebank Asda this evening wearing a Dumbarton fc snood. If you're on here, I applaud your trolling and sorry for not giving you anything as I had no cash on me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 £150k for each League 1 club from the Govt grant. Handy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy It certainly is aye, but Championship clubs are getting 500k. That seems like an absolutely wild gap. Surely it could have been distributed better. Even 400k for Championship, 200k for League 1 and 150k for League 2 looks a lot fairer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's similar with SPFL prize money awarded at the end of the season. Finish 8th in The Championship & you earn £200k, win League 1 & you only earn £125k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will need to explain to me why, for example, Arbroath are receiving £350K more than Forfar. It’s because Ewan Cameron of Alloa is on the SPFL board. He would have wanted Alloa to get £500k so Arbroath are winners as a result of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annual payments based on final league position I can understand on the basis of achievement, but for the crippling effects of a pandemic there should be a more equitable share-out. I'll be amazed if the utility and rates bills at Dumbarton and Stirling are hugely different from those at Alloa or Arbroath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 That’ll give Arbroath/Alloa a huge advantage if they come down for next season. Shame we’ll be too busy back in the Championship to care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimistic Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Regardless of league we’re in, shouldn’t the grants be the same across the board? Or are the spfl happy to continue with us jobbers floating about the lower leagues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 We're just two points above the relegation play off place having played more games than all four teams below us. Hopefully the run of home games can yield a good amount of points and haul us away from the position we find ourselves in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezeboxson Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 In another unrelated point... how do we think the meltdown is going in Cove this evening? Shame it was Clyde who beat them but you can't have it all I guess! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
