Strathman Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 18 hours ago, Burnieman said: Most of those are effectively works teams, or born out of factory backed teams, not just a plain old "club sponsor". TNS are The New Saints, no sponsor logo on their badge. Deportivo who? I guess you could say that Broomhill are the works team of Open Goal........ There was a team called Guinness Exports who played in the Cheshire League late sixties early seventies. That was a decent standard league back in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Pari Nizhny Novgorod, Energetik-BGU Minsk, Zob Ahan and Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino are other clubs named after their sponsor. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD1711 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Mad to think that Cowdenbeath were in the championship 5 years ago. Another good result for Open Goal tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Didn’t look a good attendance on the video ! I would say it was equivalent to a Clyde home match, possibly more. What happens to the takings from the food kiosk as the council took the money when Clyde used it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Off the top of my head I can only think of Red Bull Leipzig and New York Red Bulls.The club I follow in Czech Rep are in its 3rd new sponsor in the last 5 years Tacoma Zlin, Faslav Zlin and now Trinity Zlin. As stated not uncommon in Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Phew! Well that’s one club that done it once in the Welsh league makes everything ok and totally justifiable They don't have to justify anything unless they fall foul of League rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they altered the club badge to reflect their sponsor, and their colours, which was really the point being made? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you ever want to win a pub quiz Philips Sports Verigning of Eindhoven, a works team that's done quite well since being founded in 1913 for Philips Workers. If you want to win Pointless there's North Macedonian 3rd Division team FK Cementarnica "The Concrete Boys" (hard opponents) I'm not particularly bothered about the merits or demerits of Open Goal Broomhill but for the record there have been other works or sponsored teams in Scottish Football history: Ferranti Thistle (East of Scotland League then elected to Scottish League) Babcock & Wilcox (Scottish Qualifying Cup South) Inverurie Loco Works (North Juniors then Highland League). Dunbar Blue Circle (a couple of East of Scotland League seasons) Edinburgh City Police (East of Scotland League) Glasgow Corporation Transport (Qualifying Cup South) Burntisland Shipyard (Fife Amateurs, East of Scotland League) Postal United (East of Scotland League) Civil Service Strollers (East of Scotland League) RAF Lossiemouth and RAF Kinloss (North Juniors) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Open Goal Broomhill fall into that category, unless you calls them as the works team of the podcast...... I like The Concrete Boys though, always seem to have a solid base to build from.

They changed their name 3 times over a period of 20 years, it's taken BSC / Broomhill / Own Goal only 2 or 3.

There was an Aberdeen Junior team called Bon Accord in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Bon Accord is the motto of the City of Aberdeen but the owner was Brian Keith of Bon Accord Glass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benidorm Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Reasonable chance the Open Goal Lawwell family cash could get them to the SPFL. Not like there's a wad of competition in their way is there? Still maintain crowds won't sustain. Too many wee diddy teams competing for the old firm wee team coin. The Colts, various ex junior teams with leanings, now Open Goal. Saturated market IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fitting Czech example might be Příbram, which is the original Dukla Prague. Went from Dukla Prague to Dukla Příbram, renamed to Marila Příbram due to sponsorship and changed the club colours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing compared to Portugal where, at last count, 87%* of all clubs below the 2nd tier and just Benfica supporters clubs *slight exaggeration 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
