So Darvel, even if they lose to Falkirk, still stand to make nearly £100k in prize money and TV money (on TV x 2) , in addition to gate receipts, merchandise sales, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they need to be, if they have (two?) generous benefactors? I appreciate there must be a fear of doing a Gretna (or Rushden & Diamonds), but it's the same for Kelty Hearts and Cove. They're not the first to have a sugar daddy. I think they will likely be in the SPFL within five years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they'll be beating Falkirk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas for any other club at that level, a hundred k means floodlights, new stands, or years of rent and electricity bills paid off. For Darvel it might cover one of their physios' wages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case they have a 28% chance of drawing one of the Old Firm, if they get them away that's more TV money, greater prize money and ~£200k from ticket sales. Another non-OF home game could see them progress to the semis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 As a bit of a random observation/question am I right in thinking that Morton are the longest permanent member of the Championship? It’s been quite a few years since you were last promoted and by my calculations nobody else probably matches you in terms of current time in the league. I haven’t googled it right enough by I’m pretty sure everyone else have been up or down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see your magnificent old ground n the top flight. I was watching an episode of Footy Adventures the other day, and an English groundhopper was asked what his favourite stadium was and he said Cappielow.

Comes across as ill informed and condescending, whilst promoting moneyed clubs such as Darvel and Kelty as some form of miracle workers, and increasingly sucking the Rangers boaby. I was delighted that the only time he visited Cappielow was one of the rare days I was in hospitality rather than the Cowshed. I should really steer clear of his channel, but like Open Goal, I’m drawn to it because I hate it so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not good that businessmen are investing in the game at that level? I don't think he's condescending, he always seems genuinely enthusiastic. The only criticism I have, is that he tends to interview 12 year old ultras mostly. It would be good if he spoke to some auld yins, too. But, I appreciate he's not everyone's cup of tea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
