Sponsoring players at 1500 a pop is fine but taking premium advertising spaces for 4k is ridiculous. The members of C1872 should be questioning why the fee is so low when in fact it seems it is not attracting new membership. It would be better giving these spaces up for others to pay the going rate. If that's true, I want to know why my club is not maxing out revenue streams just to give Club1872 reduced/subsidised advertising. Is this not the type of thing these people bang on about bogeyman Ashley for? (squeezing legitimate revenue from the club's finances) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sins of FF has not responded to my question on the redundancy of the advertising space so I will answer for him. It was available for 5 minutes and offered to nobody. C1872 seem to have offered the paltry sum of 4k by whats been said here and it was accepted. Now if its there next season for the same price Roberston should be sacked.

The advertising space was thrown in by RIFC board. thebooler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this not conclusive evidence that Club1872 is backed by the RIFC Board, and should put to bed once and for all, that the support don't actually have a Fans' Group after all? Why don't the members of Club1872 demand their money be removed from Club1872's grasp, and put into a bank account for safe keeping until the support get themselves a truly independent fans group set up, with genuinely hard working and dedicated members elected to the Board? This situation can't be allowed to continue. Whether you like King matters not one iota. Whether you like Houston matters not one iota. It doesn't matter who or what you believe in. All supporters of the club should be chasing one thing, and one thing only, and if they don't get going very soon, they'll never get another opportunity to get rid of those who only care about themselves.

As far I'm aware 1872 being on the interview boards was all part of the package put together that included the sponsorship of a player. I stand to be corrected on that but it's the only conclusion I can come up with. If we are to believe 1872 when they say the only money they have paid to the club was the sponsorship money then it has to have been included.

Again as far as I'm aware the only money that can be touched is the 5% we agreed to for admin & advertising. That said the fact they are still forging ahead with the projects while the board of 1872 is in turmoil, should get alarm bells ringing.

So they up STs by 5% and throw in a shitload of advertising for a 4 grand fee or maybe it was less than 4 grand to try and help their mates.Absolute disgrace.

Its such an obvious COI that withdrawal from the Board on application would be a minimum requirement. Tying himself in knots to justify an indefensible position and laying the blame squarely on one individual ( he never had to mention the gender of any director). He is a self serving ringpiece who I will always have nothing but utter contempt for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 That's some reading but 2 points that jumped out at me .. 1- pleading poverty but still took £500 he didn't have of his own cash at Christmas time to fund a book about himself. Definition of ego. I hope his poor kids still had a good Christmas. 2- Celtic in Barcelona - it's undeniable that it was his social media account and he asked his Celtic supporting mate if he could go because he thought it looked good or something. Even if he didn't go, he wanted to and his excuse about who he is and sore faces.. I'm sure it was before he was known which ties into the gossip about where the hell were guys like him and Chris Graham before the last few years Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
