Super Cooper 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Would you walk away for that reason? I am a man of principle so yes, i probably would. I said the other day we need to do this the right way and i stand by that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Davison 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Any potential sponsor and TV companies who need advertising revenue will pressurise the SPL people to invite Rangers back and they are unlikely to ignore such a demand. I suspect that the SPL crowd will come up with some fudge followed by an invitation to Rangers to join a SPL2. Surely, we would decline. Firstly, because this will let down the SFL people, who helped us out but do we really want to be in a hurry to associate with the very people who only recently tried hard to rob Rangers of legitimately won titles. It is a certainty that the condition of the SPL will be weaker at the end of next season and Rangers can negotiate from a position of strength and when our situation at the club is more stable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 That would IMHO amount to "match fixing" in club terms ... and should be brought to the attention of UEFA. Add the naughty graphic about the Scum's hand in all things Scottish football and they will start to wonder what happens north of Hadrian's Wall these days. Of course, should this happen, the SFL and/or Rangers should sue the SPL (illegal bans, retention of price money et al) and the SFA ... so they get barred from European footy. It is a mystery to me why we haven't pursued the SFA/SPL a lot more than we have regards illegal embargoes,retention of prize money etc. People looking in at Scottish football from the outside must wonder what the hell is going on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a full enquiry into the disgraceful 5 way agreement last summer? we cannot allow Liewell to continue to destroy Scottish football. If an invitation was offered I believe we'd accept under certain conditions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about getting bang for your buck as far as advertising goes, look at these crowd figures ... Crowd figures for the weekend of 4/5 May 2013 Rangers vs Berwick Rangers - 50,048 SPL Dun. Utd. vs St. Johnstone - 6,437 ICT vs Motherwell - 3,857 Hearts vs St. Mirren - 16,312 Ross County vs Celtic - 5,873 Dundee vs Aberdeen - 6,441 Kilmarnock vs Hibs - Not Reported ( Fan illness ) Total ( not incl. Killie crowd ) - 38,920 SFL Div. 1 Dumbarton vs Partick Thistle - not reported Dunfermline vs Airdrie - 4,624 Falkirk vs Morton - 3,179 Hamilton vs Cowdenbeath - 1,434 Livingston vs Raith Rovers - 650 Total - 9,887 Supposing we estimate 4000 for each of Killie & Dumbarton games - we have ... - 8,000 - 9,887 - 38,920 Total for SPL & SFL 1 - 56,807 Total for Div. 3 champs - 50,048 So both leagues, SPL & SFL 1, only topped Rangers by about 10%. What was that about SPL 2 ... ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was that about SPL 2 ... ? And don't forget about all the free SPL tickets that SPL clubs have been dishing out to falsify attendances. Week in week out this appears to happen. Hertz crowd yesterday was because the ticket prices were slashed(not that it'll do them much good when the Lithuanian administrators take over) Also I've even heard that at StMirren & Motherwell where an adult buys a season ticket they can get as many as three free child season tickets. Totally unsustainable IMO 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUDE 0 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yeah, you could be right. We were that used to having CG jumping at the chance to pass comment on just about everything. Maybe it'll be different now. Yes exactly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
