An absolutely embarrassing practice by any team, does the grade no favours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rarely happens but I have seen it done at Newlandsfield on a handful of occasions over the years.No problem if another club wants that as our gate numbers and ticket recording have always been scrupulous and transparent and publicised to everyone.I accept that it can be disappointing if there is a feeling of distrust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen plenty of clubs operate the practice of only giving tickets to people they don't recognise. Also it was well known an East Ayrshire clubs had a gate in a separate part of the ground where they told some of their own supporters to go to avoid having to give out tickets. For years Arthurlie took the decision, no matter who the opponent, to operate gate checkers after an incident with an East club who tried to give us so little money it was embarrassing. Now actively avoiding (cheating) giving your opponents an accurate cut of the gate is far worse than having gate checkers is it not? Not saying Talbot did or do this, have had plenty of cup ties at Talbot and never once thought they did this practice (their committee is the gold standard at this level of football!) but plenty of other clubs have!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As clubs strive to get licensed then you would expect all aspects of the club to come in to line with that. This is is the only level that I am aware of who employ these measures, is the mistrust that bad amongst clubs that they still need to do this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying it is right but I am saying I can understand it. Arthurlie don't do it anymore and I am glad but possibly it could be that Darvel have decided to keep doing it. It was a regular thing at cup ties up until 4/5 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember many years ago, think it was a sectional game at Beechwood and I’m sure Darvel, has about 200 there. Their fans made the most of a rare win (2-1).

Rugbyroader Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 On 31/10/2022 at 13:23, Darvel legend said: About 50 which is embarrassing What is the point of investing all that money if you can’t generate a crowd? The players are hired hands so will take the money on offer as long as it is available but they must question the lack of fanbase. The manager must also wonder what the whole thing is about unless he is using it as a stepping stone to something else. Easier to manage a team with money to spend and hoovering up the best players from opposing teams. The manager is a failure given the money he has had to spend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
