Players Professions
Was thinking about this a bit last night. Do we know what the players full time jobs are? And do any of them have their own businesses? I'm fairly certain Gary Brown does. If so, as part of their contracts should the club be offering free advertising be it in the programme or on an advertising hoarding. Likewise, could this be offered out to our volunteers?
I know in the good old days that Stuart Pearce used to advertise in the Coventry City match programme, even though he had turned pro by that point.

Re: Players Professions
We already pay them a decent amount to play for us. Unless they took a cut in salary for the advertisement I don't see why we should lose out on income for them!
Our players use the fact they are followed to advertise anyway.

Re: Players Professions
I was thinking more along the lines of reducing wages rather than adding more on top.

Re: Players Professions
If we're going to get into the first round proper of the FA Cup and meet a league team, one of them will need to be a postman.
Re: Players Professions
I think I heard that Adam Mitchell was a postie last year? I don't know if that was accurate or if he is doing it now? I think we are missing a school teacher.

Re: Players Professions
Yeah. Armstrong's definitely a PE teacher. There was something on the SAFC website about one of their players playing against their former teacher in the friendly.

Re: Players Professions
I have often wondered whether it is some unwritten FA Cup rule that all semi-pro team has to have at least a postman, there also seems to the odd binman, teacher and bricklayer and plumber, although I have never noticed a great deal of them, the odd Policeman as wellPaulMJohnson wrote:If we're going to get into the first round proper of the FA Cup and meet a league team, one of them will need to be a postman.

Re: Players Professions
Policeman quota is usually taken up by the match officials! Gary Brown is our plumber. Not sure if we have a bricklayer though?

Re: Players Professions
Tezza Galbraith is a postie isn't he?
Pretty sure Stevie Johnson worked for national rail - anyone know whats happened to him, one of my favorite players.
Dowson is a coach at sunderland
I think Scotty is a model/carer of some description
White works as an attack dog for the russian military
Thommo plays for barca in his spare time under a pen name
and mitch is just a magic man, he needs no job!

When White is not an attack dog he is a fitness instructor @ Scotch corner Gym ain't he?

There's also always a welder, a butcher, a van driver and an insurance salesman.
