Aizoon Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Being sponsored by their local pub during the forthcoming season is pretty damn amusing! Not going to happen, apparently. The FA won't let their youth team wear the name of a pub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Not going to happen, apparently. The FA won't let their youth team wear the name of a pub Surely that cannot be true?! I really struggle to believe it. After the FA used to sell kiddies tickets to the Carling Cup, the Worthington Cup; you have Heineken plastered all over the Champions League, Budweiser all over the World Cup, precedents for alcohol sponsorship - Blackthorn, a bottle of champagne for having a good match in the sponsor's eyes, I'd find it absolutely staggering the FA found a pub offensive, youth team or not.

I did have in the back on my mind when they won the raffle some murmerings of you being or having been a regular there so I certainly don't doubt you or your source for one moment. Suppose its just another in the long line of hypocrisy and over reaction from the FA. Even still, I'd probably be quicker to believe the 15ers just made this up to try and renege on this deal.

Sixtyseconds Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I enjoyed the collective faux anger after the blue plaque prank. Sometimes it is wasted on them.

Bar BS3 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Northampton play off capitulation a few yrs ago. That still brings a smile to my face. That was a classic. Every bit as good as the time they were top of the league with 8-9 games to go was it..? They only managed one win (let's forget who that was against!) in those remaining games and eventually dropped out of even the play off places on the lady day of the season, to be greeted by Evening Post headlines of "Rovers' capitulation complete" iirc.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Bu99er! Missed that at the time - absolutely hysterical. Mind you, I'm not an avid Guardianista like EMB **** me neither am I Aiz, it was just top of the google list, there actually is a video somewhere out there in internet land. Mind you this is a cracker FFS, a gypsies curse. I remember reading somewhere that there was another reason for the fact that we had done so badly over the past years. I did a bit of searching and found this from July last year!! It explains it all. The players, the results, the injury crisis, John Ward and the relegation to the conference. Why didn't the BOD tell us about this before and we'd all have understood. Oops, I hope I they don't read this forum, because I've given them another reason!! (smashngrab - July 17, 2013 06:39 PM (GMT)This all stems from the curse passed on the ground by a travelling gypsy a few seasons back . The gypsy was trying to park up for the night in the Mem car park. The then chairman Geoff Dunford told him he had to leave, why don't you camp up on the common said Geoff. The gypsy cursed the ground Geoff stood on and spat, Only when a good turn is given to a genuine gypsy by Geoff can the curse be lifted.)

If Sainsbury's lose, they will certainly appeal - which will drag the entertainment out well into next season. Funniest ever rover's moment for me though has to be Santa's grotto - I laugh every time I see the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
