simplythebest 0 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I don't see anybody having a go at answering my question, probably they know that my next question would be along the lines of... Why don't the pro board/faceless investors have a rally? Then we could genuinely compare the turnouts.Probably because there's good number of folk who aren't pro anything, just anti-boycott. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue1 0 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Sorry, there's no way there was 500-600 in that crowd. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Them??? Good show to those who were there, the more bad publicity the board get the better I wasn't there so it would have been wrong to say us.

Other than for emotive effect, how can someone choosing not to purchase a season ticket be described as being part of a boycott? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildy 0 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Let's agree that the turnout was 600. Is this figure high or low? Depending on your point of view, it's both. If people don't want to believe that there's a genuine and popular protest from the support, it will be dismissed as a low number. If people do believe that the fans are unhappy, they will claim it is a healthy turnout. The art is in the spinning of the fact as much as it is in the fact itself. One point that might be worth making: leading figures in these protests should be sartorially impeccable. The Rangers support is obsessed with suits and collars and ties. Leaders or spokespeople really have to dress accordingly as their images are seen by more than just those who actually turn up. If the first impression isn't right, the message will be dismissed before it is even heard. It might seem like a small detail, but successful campaigns take care to get the small details right. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The clusterfuck that is going on at Rangers has been brought about by a succession of men in suits, so forgive me if I place the message being put out over the threads they are wearing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another point is that it seems as though a good job was done regards letting the media know what was going down and have them come out and cover it. Hopefully this is illustrated in tomorrows papers. In effect it helps the march/protest to highlight the message to tens of thousands+ of media consumers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 If SOS members can't be arsed turning up! !! SOS only has two "members", turn out was exceptional at such short notice. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The Hampden march was also short notice and thousands turned up there 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hardly the same. But if you can get 600 pre season you can get thousands during the season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
