Lets just ban sponsorship.

 

The naffest thing ever to happen to sport.

I mind when Scotsport and Sportscene went off air for a few weeks when Hibs were the first team in Scotland to put a sponsorship logo on their shirts ( Bukta) around late 1979/early 1980 IIRC.

If they're going to ban betting then they should should ban everything that someone had an objection to? *can-of-worms smiley*

 

How much of our income actually comes from shirt sponsorship?

I realise for some teams worldwide (even weegie-wide?) it's probably significant, but would losing all shirt sponsorship affect us that badly.

.......and it's the Embassy Snooker from the ash tray arena.

 

 

Chain smoke whatever brand you like but put them in an Embassy packet.

The Milk Cup

 

 

 

How pathetic was that?

 

 

..and 2 trophies being presented for the Scottish League Cup.

 

 

...and nowadays, The Lucky Leprechaun Trophy, or whatever it's called.

Aye, major fuss with the BBC anyway.

Wouldn't show Hibs games.

 

 

They were right, who the fuck wants to buy a football jersey with an advert for " Badwik Fanny Pads" on it?
