TheTinMan99 0 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 There's clubs that would kill to have that, talking about it as some sort of negative sums up this cluster fuck It should be a positive, but it becomes negative in the wrong hands. It's the only power the support have these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfly Trumpeter 50 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 In a legal sense obviously not but this isn't simply about legalities. Numbers may fluctuate but I'd think there's a regular number of season tickets sold every year that have always kept us going, and if people are withdrawing that in a concerted effort to starve the club of funds then I certainly call it withholding money. If you start to use 'think' & 'if', then don't bother. The hypothetical does not interest me. And I am not starving the club of money. The board did that, why blame me? Rangers drastically overspent on football costs / activities, near £20million in less than 2 years. The board blew a further £50 million less shrapnel and you are playing the hypothetical, political pish and accusing me of starving the club of money. I laughed at your legal crap as well btw. Funniest thing I have read in ages. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but if people are going to go down this route they need to accept the reality of what it is rather than talking like it's simply deciding to not shop at a supermarket. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's never been the case and that's the sole reason we've gone through what we have and why we're going through what we are now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's never been the case? So you don't think we need season tickets sold? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermarkets don't treat their customers with this amount of contempt. They also don't expect you to pay for your messages a year in advance as a show of loyalty. They retain customers by offering a good service, and running the business well, and consistently. None of this is happening at Ibrox. They can only trade off blind loyalty for so long, as is being proven. If you treat supporters like mere customers, you can't act surprised when they start behaving like one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being brutally honest you'll struggle to find a football club, high profile ones anyway, that doesn't treat fans with contempt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket sales alone have never met the costs of running the club, the season ticket culture in itself is a relatively new phenomenon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the culture is relatively new but you can't change a culture back 20 plus years just like that. I never said alone but it's the core source of capital surely? It's not as if we're in the Premiership where TV money by itself can probably cover most things. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where we find ourselves just now ST sales are imperative.Without them our existence could be at risk if (god forbid) there was another liquidation 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
