I mean it's almost like a Jambo can't comprehend the concept of mortgages, while sitting looking at or in their shiney new main stand.

I was thrown by the language. 'Financed' makes it sound like a plan. But the money was delivered years later.

Had the OP said 'paid for', no confusion would have arisen.

So, there.

Not only have you made an arse of the team he supports, but also our club 'whoring out' the club shop.

The whole episode, whilst embarrassing has been covered in depth on here many times. We rented the stadium out to Celtic for friendlies when Parkhead was being used for Commonwealth games. This type of rental agreement is nothing new, Rangers used to rent Love Street from us for reserve matches for a few years, as well as to give teams like Ajax and Juventus training facilities in the mid/late 90s before Champions League matches, hence few older photos of likes of Patrick Kluivert, the de Boers and Del Piero training at the old ground.

There was an agreement that they could use the shop for pre-match merchandise as they had rights to the club facilities as part of the rental (merchandising, hospitality and catering), they basically had tenancy of the ground for two weeks or so as we were on a training camp somewhere. There was no agreement in place though to change any branding in, on or around the stadium. Celtic did so off their own back and the board of St. Mirren contacted them within a few hours to remove it and they did so, I think even before the first of the two friendlies. 

The photo that was taken, was a major issue that fucked a lot of supporters off but in honesty, without the photo, most supporters would have never even known. The sign went up about midday and was gone in hours.

This has now entered "Aberdeen saved by league reconstruction" mythology territory, so you're wasting your time correcting misapprehensions.

'Aberdeen saved from a three team promotion/relegation playoff mini-league by Falkirk's inability to get Brockville in working order' would be a more appropriate summary.

Even in saying that, had Livingston pulled the four points back and got themselves into third, that playoff would have gone ahead regardless.

cutting Old Firm fans' allocation? Might I suggest cutting something else off?

 

Not sure if it’s been mentioned in this thread already but OF fans are really ugly.  Having a large allocation of them at your home ground has a severe aesthetic impact.

If we follow the advice in that video there will be less procreation and less problems for future generations for non OF fans.

Hence the old joke

How do you know E.T. is an Old Firm fan? 

Because he looks like one.
