Perhaps Slade just got sick of Lowther phoning him in the early hours of the morning to ask what the injury situation is?

Quoted from GrimRob
Surely one of the main objectives of the club should be to reach out to those who currently don't regularly attend games, especially those who live locally and could easily get to BP, given a nudge in the right direction. A bit of free publicity in a local paper could be worth far more in gate receipts that a small amount of immediate sponsorship. It's a no brainer. I'm quite shocked.


Et Tu? Grim Rob.

What is it with Tories wanting to control the media?

Quoted from Balthazar Bullitt


Many things can influence someone's decision on whether they go to a game or not and whether they continue to go to games.

GTFC promote themselves as a club with strong links in the local community (feel free to disagree).

Trying to make a few quid off a local paper gives an overwhelming impression of short term penny pinching, at a time when the club should be doing everything it can to bolster and expand its support.



Agree with this. Local coverage can only be a good thing for promoting the club. I can't help but think this decision has more to do with NL's questions of RS than anything else. Its like with Fergie, if you ask difficult questions, you wont be invited back.

End of the day the main people who miss out is the fans as it's one less outlet for gtfc.

Quoted from SteffiMariner
Apologies if I'm being a bit thick, but why is everybody getting upset over this?

As far as I can see, a local newspaper had 1-2-1 access to the local football team manager for free. I would assume that this would increase there turnover so the club asked for a bit of sponsorship for this - in my eyes a financial decision as the newspaper are using the club to increase revenue so why shouldn't the club benefit from that, too?


In my opinion you are being a bit thick and talking bollox, never heard of journalists having to pay for access to a football manager.

I have been to quite a few after match press conferences at many clubs over the years and have never been asked to pay.

Unfortunately we have decisions like this from GTFC that makes the club a laughing stock.

This is clearly bonkers. Short-sighted. What idiot made this decision?

The flask ban was a bit of a shock but, other than that, no.
