the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I don't think the current Board is the concern, well not the major concern anyway. then they must be morons 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,316 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I have heard that the current ST sales are just over 22K, and tickets sales for Sunday are at around the 33K mark. This was as at Tuesday night. I would think Sundays attendance wont be far short of 40K, which under any other circumstances other than the board/shareholders incompetence would be a complete sellout. I dont pay too much attention to the crowd on Tuesday, as midweek televised cup-ties have been poorly attended for years now, but anything under 45K on Sunday for the highest profile fixture of our entire league campaign will be another failure from the board to add to the list. That they have failed to engage sufficiently with the support to ensure a capacity crowd for a game against our expected closest title rivals, with the re-naming of the Govan stand, and the unfurling of the league flag all at once, does not auger well for the rest of the season. If it is 38k (plucking a figure out the air) on Sunday, what price a crowd for a winter midweek game against Dumbarton or Cowdenbeath (i'm guessing they are both in our division this year as we havent played them yet on our "journey"). If the quality of play again matches the quality of the board this winter, crowds will be the lowest for over 30 years. Some recognition of this from the board/shareholders would be a start. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I don't think the current Board is the concern, well not the major concern anyway. If the boardroom, their mysterious backers, changing narratives, the poor corporate goverence, the police investigations, unpaid Wonga style loans, spin-doctors fantasy bullshit, plastic communication & engagement with the fans, many of whom are fed-up with fog, bullshit and shennanigans and refuse to fund in part onerous contracts, 120 day business reviews that can't be acted upon and fail to find the likes of the 'Stockbridge share option'...........etc. ............... aren't the major concern..........what is ?

Super Cooper 0 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Utter bampottery ... and you know that. And the usual suspects follow suit. What's the German for bampottery? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhunter 0 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Unlike Leeds we can restored to full glory with very little investment. We just need someone with a bit of savvy. A club the size of Rangers should be able to flourish under the right leader. Absolute fantasy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhunter 0 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Price is down a tad today at 30.50p. What I'm hearing (as reported a couple of weeks ago) is that some of the investors that, like you, I thought would stay for the SPL/Europe bounce in the medium term at least, have lost patience with everything that has been going on and want out. Is it not strange that they haven't broken ranks and highlighted to the support - i.e. the customers in their eyes - that they are dissatisfied? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True_Ger_1872 2 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It wouldn't surprise me of the Board believe that there will be a surge in the number of ST sales come January when the half ST'd come out. If the race for the title is tight then that will be a key campaign for them to bring in more income. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Will be far to late by then. Plus who's going to pay to watch this dross in the spl. If nothing changes sales will fall again next season. Rangers fans will not fund mediocrity 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
