The wage bill must have signigicantly contributed to the losses reported by Glasgow yet it would appear the practice continues regardless of what was said at the AGM.

mac101 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Got to love some of the Rumours, various sources ,heard from a reliable source my mate says, people in the know, even I can show you there wage slips lol what a load of bullsh1t unless a rider comes on here and tells you what they earn which I can’t see people should state facts not fairy tales not hear say it’s went from £100 to £200 a point to £1000 a meeting to £1200 now £2000 a meeting to the whole team on a guarantee lol lol by the time the season starts they will be all millionaire with secret offshore bank accounts and pretty sure if it was that pay scale every single rider would be queuing outside Allied head quarters the day after the season finishes begging for a team spot for the following year and before they agree to ride for any other team but not happened yet 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who did she have in mind? And if what she says is true, shouldn't those clubs be in the Premier League?

Hope you keep good health yourself marra coz you seem to be taking the lead in keyboard sledgeing on behalf of Glasgee, and that must surely affect your blood pressure at the very least?? Anyway re Glasgow's appeal (we've all read it) for volunteers to help out in 2019. It just seems to me that the cash flow is not exactly oozing, or said appeal wouldn't have been made??? Regarding attendances at the salubrious Ashfield..... I won't be able to give concrete evidence... but, your Scottish friend(s) most certainly said at one meeting this Summer you had 350 watching...I could trawl for it but stuff that for a lark...it was a written fact on this very forum tho...so don't knock others appealing for bigger crowds marra. Regarding the salt mines....are they still running?.... Oh re the hard knock living crew, man city (yuk) whatever....are they the ones who provoked Tigers staff to enter the pub we were sat in and announce "best we move our cars off the surrounding streets into the lockable compound next to stadium"????.......roll on April 2019 'til proper action starts.
