Not tin pot at all. As with all bigot fans you're leaving out the story behind it. Wonder why all you bigot fans do that?* *Obviously I don't actually wonder. We all know exactly why the bigots do this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Celtgers windfall in the “champions” league, clubs won’t need to rely on fans to pay to keep them out. Win win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's being used to pay for kids and people on low incomes to get tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club also announced today that every primary school in Renfrewshire is to receive 4 season tickets. Another example of the club trying to increase the fanbase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing tin pot about clever marketing I disagree. Don't market your football club by referring to those b*****ds. Clubs should have more pride. Revenue doesn't trump everything else, but to read much of P&B, you'd think it does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I can see why it'd be a riddy if it was a top flight or Greater Glasgow team advertising it, but Elgin are two hundred miles and 3 divisions away from the OF. It's not really any different from showing Man United-Liverpool or something. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A generic statement that the club bar plays live matches before KO is fine. But selling another clubs games is a bit much. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure no one has a problem with Elgin City showing any match that is live on the TV before their match kicks off, the problem for me is the blatant advertising of the event, which makes it seem more important than Elgin's own match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) It's not the first time Elgin have done this. I don't think their crowds have seen any increase since they started it.
