Steve1872 4 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Unified Supporters Platform Calls For Boycott Written by Admin Monday, 01 October 2012 20:12 The Unified Supporters Platform calls on the Rangers support to withdraw its financial input to any SPL club by boycotting the next round of the League Cup, drawn on 4th October, should our opposition be ANY Scottish Premier League club away from home. Since the turn of the year, Rangers FC and its supporters have been abused, maligned, derided and disrespected by the supporters and certain hierarchy of SPL member clubs. These cowardly clubs, who decided Rangers were not needed in the SPL, attempted to destroy us when we had reached our lowest ebb. Unfortunately for them, and to their bitter displeasure, the Rangers survived this trauma. We are stronger than ever and our magnificent history continues unbroken. Our supporters have waited patiently for apt opportunity to respond to some of the poisoned hatred and unrepentant vitriol directed, both at them and the club, by starving SPL clubs of much-needed cash. By boycotting this potential fixture the message the support sends out is loud and clear; “Their hate-filled stance against our club and its support will never be forgotten”. For once our support must unite like never before to send out this clear message, we have to show we mean business.

thesins 0 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 So if we draw Celtic at Parkhead no Rangers fans should go and we let them fill it with 60k of their own kind? Bit premature I think. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit premature I think. Maybe the team should stay away as well no chance of catching anything that way 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I can't help thinking that a boycott could potentially hand our opponents a legal case for contesting sharing the gate money. With a small SPL club it would be a relatively small amount of cash, but with a big crowd you're talking about a significant amount of cash. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forlanssister 3,050 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 If we get a home draw a SPL team will in all probability receive a greater amount of gate money than if they were at home are we supposed to boycott a home game too? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
