The news that there is a new kid on the Sevco block should not come as a surprise to regular readers.
Here is what they say about themselves in their newly setup Twitter account.
Here is their website.
Only ten days ago I reported that such a group was in embryonic form.
You can read it here.
I’m told that I broke news to the Sevco High Command with that piece and that they were concerned about this new development.
It is undeniable that Club 1872 has been key to the Dave King strategy.
Early on in the Off Licence Putsch in 2015 he said all the right things to schmooze his “co-investors”.
He knew that he needed to have all of the supporters groups under one roof and with his people in control.
He achieved that with the help of several influential fans.
One of them even made it to the boardroom, but not for long.
Peace be upon him.
Even at this late stage many of The People believe that King has been bankrolling the loss-making operation with his own money!
Now a there is another organisation out there to rival Club 1872.
A hat tip to the Sevco scriptwriters.
Moreover, it was jolly decent of them to tell me that this was going to happen before anyone else had an inkling.

Imagine their fans taking over the blue room. That would surely be the final nail in the coffin.
I reckon by the time we play the Klan next massive feelgood factor fake news will hit the media outlets . You see over at the bigot dome the panic button has already been pressed and the gypsies tramps &thieves need to be fed some good proper bullshit. So watch this space as the days go on and money needs to be flying in from season books otherwise it’s tattie bye .Talking of tattie bye we have a better chance of seeing Lord Lucan or the invisible man than King the Chisler.
So there is talk of another fans group for the Bennys. They should invite Cannon &Ball the 2 bawbags that are Miller &Wallace to front it for them as one has been fired the other is totally off the ball .
Another Ponzi scheme in the offing then! The dafties need their bumps felt. HH
Why does their Bank Account end in the numbers 1650 ? Was 1690 already taken ?
Reminds me of that Irvine Welsh novel where the bank employee guesses that the Ran*ers supporters will use 1690 as their PIN number and empties their accounts.
This lot could go into liquidation faster than their beloved club !
i thought it was really daft that they threw the cards away that didn’t work first time, instead of trying 1872 next. or 2012. 🙂
i hope none of us use 1888 as our pin numbers!
Ditching Wallace and Miller will save a few coins for the leccy meter. Others should watch their mouths if they don’t want to be resigned without ceremony. However, I can’t see The Caretaker getting the boot just yet – who would want to be temporary The The Caretaker for the upcoming games, while King recruits Pep, Jose and Jurg.
The Gardener is too sleekit to take on a genuine challenge without a mega-bucks salary, overspending amatuers by 100 times and a “no sack” clause.
The Cardigan is happy living as a legend on blue-tinted rememberances of times past.
According to one blogger with much more self-regard than self-awareness, McInnes will be in the frame when King leaves. Perhaps this conspiracist has overlooked the possibility that McInnes declined with a polite white lie – rather than explaining the true reasons for his refusal e.g. rank squad, no squad budget, going concern concerns, laughing stock in UK football, hideoussly incompetent board, hopelessly un-reconstructed fan base and he already has a gargantuan challenge fixing Aberdeen’s routine loss of bottle.

I’m not buying this !!!!
Withing a few weeks if Dave King being forced to buy shares at 27p a new venture appears for fans to buy shares.
Come on …..
What price are they going to pay for them ?
And who are they buying them from ?????
One thing about Dave he knows how stupid they are !!!!
“Peace be upon him”
Pure quality that Phil ??
I’m not buying this.
It just so happens that within a couple of weeks of DK being forced to buy shares at an inflated 27p price and new venture is released for fans to buy shares…….oh and you can keep your name on them !!!!!
Come on …..
What price are they going to buy shares at ???????
Who are they going to buy them from ?????
If my suspicions are right, I’ll give it to Dave …… He knows how thick they are ???
Their shares are only 20p but probably worth a lot less. To put that into perspective. It cost me 30p this morning to drop a King Richard the third in the bogs at Buchannan street station.
The guy who set this company up is called David Cameron Griffiths – from Ayr and he is the sole director and shareholder of the company which was formed in February. He is also the director of Broomloan Systems Ltd and describes himself as a “management consultant” at Companies House. It wouldnt surprise me one but if he’s got a Belfast accent.
Had a look at the membership form, one question missing; “What school did you go to?”!
So they demand proxy votes for not only the shares that are bought through them but also all existing shares held by their members… But shares remain in members’ names. So first sign of a contentious issue and their members who are in the minority will walk.
Had a look at the site, how very dignified!
Would seem another blogger is wishing to put you down and comes across in the Jack Irving style stable of writers. Them damm awards drives some into obession whilst others see it as merely the acknowledgement of many a years hard work and delivering of the news as it should be, good luck.
Hi Phil.
Ah your getting many a mention with your exclusive a few weeks back over on fester fester.
They’re up in arms so to speak lol.
Oh How they’re suffering.
Keep up the excellent work vote cast last week.
HH
many thanks
Clown Revolt at Billy’s Not Very Smart Circus!
Hypothetical on the cold shouldering if it happens, if any business that has financial links with Sevco are frowned upon what happens to the SPFL, all SPFL teams and SFA as surely each of those have close financial links in a contractual manner such as league sponsorship, prize monies, transfer cash (don’t laugh at the back) etc… Is there a potential impact on all of Scottish football if the could shoulder comes to pass?
There better be a Biblical shunning. It would finally hold the beaks to account.
Just checked out their site.
I sincerely hope that their ability to do this is not the same as their inability to write using grammatically correct English. I am not referring subtleties that only a professor in English would know about but basic day to day English as used by the man in the street.
They emphasise the checks and balances that will be in place but surely the very first check should be regarding their website and whether it, at least, appears to be being run by someone who knows what they are doing.
And what about “If you give us less than fifty quid you’ll no’ get it back!”
They say TWO choices Yes or NO, I thought that would be one choice. But then I am no professor of English either.
Had a wee gander at the site, 17 members there Phil, am thinking it won’t trouble the blue conclave.
It’s got to be a worry that only 17 members thus far for a company that offers full disclosure in the operation. I mean are they not sick and tired of humiliation.
17 members and to join you need two to propose you! Going to take a long time to build up a group at that rate.
I doubt the new group will obtain more than a few hundred members, probably less, as it costs £ to join, RFC fans traditionally staunchly refuse to put their hands in their own pockets.
