Surely the most tinpot thing of all time is if your club tweets out something like you're going to sign Messi on transfer deadline or something in a way to get retweets. I swear Yeovil Town and Preston do it every year.

If a club does that they should be liquidated with immediate effect.

This isn't Twitter...

Oh god, never seen that before. We get their updates on local BBC service, and the mere fact they're nicknamed the Mintcakes is tinpot.

#thistownknows and #wegoagain are way more tinpot. If you're gonna do this Don, at least put some effort in.

If we're talking about non-league hashtags, the fact that Concord Ranger's have more hashtags (such as #beachboys #coyc and #youaremyconcord) on advertising boards around the pitch than proper advertisments and sponsers is pretty tinpot. Not to mention that a local caravan park has unrestricted views of the pitch at Concord

There's a man with his priorities sorted. :10:
My wife had to be induced when we had our 1st kid at 6pm, at 8pm i was playing a pool match as i was Captain and didn't want to let my team down, thats priorities!!
It is not as bad as it sounds though, they did tell me it would take a long time, had it been that she would have been in labour after a few hours i would not have gone, but it wasn't until 4am 2 days later she actually gave birth, so she didn't mind! :P1: :D

Well , you can't let the team down when you're captain :bg:. When my first was born I was supposed to be going to a rovers friendly against hereford but I bottled it and went to the hospital instead . I don't think my wife is as forgiving as yours .

Fuck me. As if that club couldn't plumb any more depths of tinpot self promotion.

That's almost as bad as when Man City's community programme sponsored them

Those are two of the most breathtakingly awful kits I've seen. Gainsborough go for the shit macho sponsor with an 8-bit Stade Français colour scheme, and Hyde trump it all by pocketing money from the sole brand behind you still having to wade through several inches of pish lager in order to reach the student union bar.

Heh, madness.

Given the history of Hyde's twitter feed, I thought that was a genuine wind up at first, although I suppose we shouldn't be surprised!

In the 1986/7 season the likelihood of Burton Albion getting to Wembley was remote, however they did just that and got to the FA Trophy final. This caused me something of a problem as I had booked a 2 week holiday for me and the misses. No worries I just told her the holiday was off and I was going to Wembley with the lads as it was probably the only time we will ever get there. Didn't listen to her answer and promptly went down the old Eton Park ground and booked 22 tickets for the match !
