Steve1872 4 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Sent: Tuesday, 3 July 2012, 14:13 Subject: RFFF poll results OVER 75 per cent of Rangers fans polled on the club's future would rather they played in SFL Division Three next season than accept a compromise deal for a place in the SPL. In a survey conducted by the Rangers Fans' Fighting Fund from the email database of the club's season ticket holders, the Rangers fans were asked three questions: (1) Do you want Rangers to play in SFL Division One next season - with sanctions? (2) Do you want Rangers to play in SFL Division One next season if there are sanctions? Or (3) Should Rangers drop into and play from SFL Division Three next season? Only 3 per cent of fans who responded went for option (1): just over 20 per cent chose option (2) while almost 76 per cent said they would prefer Rangers to go to the bottom division of the Scottish Football League. "Every other club and their fan base seems to have had an opinion of what should happen to Rangers," said a spokesperson for the RFFF. "That's why we wanted Rangers fans to voice their opinion - and they have done so. We said we would publish the findings - and that's what we are doing. "It shows the depth of feeling among our fans who have shown that they don't want any favours from the rest of the clubs - or any preferential treatment. "What these Rangers fans are saying is: "If that is what is to happen to us, then let it happen and let us move on. We will support Rangers - no matter where they are playing." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So we all want to cut our nose off to spite our face. We will only cut our own nose off by not turning up to home games in previous numbers. If we want Rangers to thrive then we should freeze the season ticket price and everyone who would have renewed under normal circumstances should renew. If that happens then division 3 will hardly affect us and allow us to make up for the skeleton team and lower TV and sponsorship money by having lesser paid players who are more than good enough to win the league by a margin. By the time we are back in the SPL, they will have suffered and withered and some will have died - and we will have rebuilt ourselves and therefore we will be successful again. The way things are in Europe means that a strong league is no longer important as Scotland are already irrelevant in that arena - all that is important is that we have financially sound clubs and that we are the best of the bunch. Clubs need to live within their means and that will probably (and hopefully) be without away ticket sales to large numbers of Rangers fans. In the name of "sporting integrity", whatever that means, ALL badly run clubs in our country need to be severely punished and I hope it shall be so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Bear 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We won't hold the home support Cal 25,000 will be a good day imo. Perhaps. We'd certainly find out who means it when they sing "Follow, Follow" though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
