SNP Banner At Falkirk Stadium

[ZvP]

- who is paying for these ads?

The clue is on the advert board mate.

 

[Gauche.]

I am reasonably sure Murderwell had SNP advertising boards back in the 80s.
I would imagine it would not be allowed in EUFA or FIFA games.
Just remember all these teams attitude to political advertising the next time any of their fans spout the line about football being a sport and issues such as politics and religion should be kept out of the game.

the junior teams need the ad money dont blame them tbh

Political statements when it suits.

Its not a political statement though.

Noticed english clubs have GMB union adverts round the stadiums , they have links to the labour party .

Used to sponsor Fulham’s shirts in the mid 90s.

Not political but I didn't realise W.B.A. had a thing about Psalm 23.

As the thread title alludes to, is this allowed under UEFA's no political or religious statements?

UEFA don't have jurisdiction over SPFL matches, but I take your point. When is a political statement, in the form of a properly paid-for advertisement, in breach of the SPFL rules? Would an anti-vaccine ad be allowed? Anti-abortion? Anti-independence? Pro-Israel?

I believe this is a photograph of the away end during a match against Aberdeen.

There's no political statement there though.

Shame on them , Renfrew is a good blue town as well

Junior football has become rancid in recent years imo. So many mentally challengeds from the boardroom to the stands.

Anyone who follows junior football will be aware of the SNP’s sponsorship for their MSPs with banners at most junior grounds that is subtle in getting their image out in the public domain - they unconsciously plant the seed of dominance by exposure in the minds of those who see their propaganda every time they watch football whether on TV or at the grounds

Religion is as bad as politics around football. No place for either IMO.

It's allowed, but I don't think they can complain when we have our Union Flag displays or the Vote No display etc. Can't have it both ways.
