    Nothing embarrasses me about it at all. I just think with football awash with money, the Allams being Philanthropic it would have been better used by putting a charity on the front and donating some money from each shirt sale as per Filey. The money from the Sponsorship will probably not have been huge and as a percentage of our turnover probably pretty insignificant. Sometimes it's good to give back. I'd imagine this charity suggestion would probably have been well supported by our fanbase.

    Not at all, I just think that there isn't much room for morality if you're running a football club, especially one that's just taken a massive hit financially.

    Kinnel, Flamingo Land have been busy today...

    Yorkshire’s Flamingo Land Resort joins forces with the club

    Boro are delighted to announce a new partnership agreement with Flamingo Land Resort Yorkshire.

    The new partnership will see the name of Flamingo Land Resort appear on the back of the new 2015/16 season shirt.

    Gordon Gibb, Owner of Flamingo Land Resort, said: “Our two organisations have got to know each other very well over time and we feel that working together is entirely the right thing to do.

    “We have been very impressed with the club’s family values and that the core ethics of our respective companies are very similar.

    “Flamingo Land Resort is extremely excited about the future for both of our ‘Premiership’ quality products.

    “To celebrate the event, we would like to invite all Boro Season Card Holders to take advantage of a 2 for 1 ticket promotion to Flamingo Land Resort, which is available until the end of our 2015 season (November 1 2015). Simply present your Season Card upon entry to the park to receive your discounted admission.

    “We feel confident that we will both have a memorable year ahead of us!”

    Mark Ellis, Chief Operating Officer at the club, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Flamingo Land Resort as a new partner of the club. Like ourselves, Flamingo Land Resort are a family orientated business and we’re looking forward to working closely together for mutual benefit and benefit of our Season Card Holders.

    will you keep quiet, the man has over 50,000 posts on an internet forum, he's clearly more important than us, therefore the derision is totally valid.

    I think he was actually referring to Dalts, rather than me, though I could be wrong.

    Are you for ****ing real?

    We can't even sneer at the ****s now? You make out like it's the fans who are being really nasty to those nice Allams.

    The silly bastards have made it their top priority to antagonise us with everything they do. They're driving long term fans away from their own club just for the sake of their mission to show they won't ever back down. It's a big part of people's lives they've ****ed with. Of course people are gonna ****ing sneer.

    How does it feel to know that if on average, posting something on here would take anything from 10 seconds to 10 mins that you have spent an average of 170 days of your life simply posting on here....that's without twitter and without all the reading. Which must easily tally up to a year of your life.

    My only issue is that it would look a bit tacky on the shirt like Cash Converters did.

    I don't think I've ever written a post that took ten minutes, most of them didn't take ten seconds.
