The chief executive said: â??The Club was contacted by Dundee United requesting us to waive our rights to the share of the gate under Cup Competition Rule 46©, this was declined.

der Berliner 3,302 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Great stuff. Takes even more wind out of United's and the SFA's sails ... should they try to change the rules. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant.... hope it's a sell-out now....wonder if the 'inundation' of other fans offers will cease. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,187 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 I assume the SFA told Utd that it was Rangers' decision what to do with the cash. Hence their request for us to waive our share. Perhaps Utd should donate their share as well? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,357 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Not sure why we are doing this. We are entitled to the cash. Teams come to Ibrox and are happy to take their 40% even if they bring only 100 fans. We should be taking Dundee Utd's cash and keeping it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Good move by CG...on 2 fronts. Firstly, it shows we aren't greed b******s. we are not doing this for monetary reason - its about principal. Secondly, if the SFA try to change the rules, they are not depriving us of money....they are depriving charity!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wonderful gesture and symbolic as much as anything else to show this isn't about money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
