BrahimHemdani 1 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 That's another idea........... The SoS (with a conclusive case) could also look towards 'Supporters Direct' for support in a boycott. Fans of Portsmouth, Coventry, even Hearts might sympathise or recognise our plight and gripe with Ashely/Sports Direct and join a boycott. Rangers Newcastle Portsmouth Coventry Hearts etc ? I think that's highly unlikely. In England the EPL largely finance SD and in Scotland it's the SG working with and through the SFA/SPL. They're not going to pay money to folk who advocate a boycott of their clubs or investor's businesses now are they? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little General 80 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 interesting development, it would seem from this: "A new company was formed by Mike Ashley within the last few weeks, the oddly named RANGERS RETAIL RIGHTS LIMITED. " More at: from the BBC The BBC has also learned that during negotiations to provide a loan to the club last month, which would have prevented the need to hold the open offer, Ashley sought control of Rangers' trademark rights. This was declined by the directors, although a company called Rangers Retail Rights Limited was incorporated on 9 September 2014, with Ashley among the three directors. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29464478 This cunt wanted to get his greasy mits our trademark. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think that's highly unlikely. In England the EPL largely finance SD and in Scotland it's the SG working with and through the SFA/SPL. They're not going to pay money to folk who advocate a boycott of their clubs or investor's businesses now are they? It's about throwing out ideas. There is increasing public anger about how the 'system' is repeatedly kicking the wee man in favour of the big and how the political classes no longer represent the 'wee man'. You take this into the football arena and there are many supporters who may listen and empathise with X suffering from such behaviour. It's all about organising in a professional and calculated manner. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take this into the football arena and there are many supporters who may listen and empathise with X suffering from such behaviour. It's all about organising in a professional and calculated manner. If there is little appetite for it amongst the Rangers support, it will be almost non-existent in Warwickshire and Hampshire. This is a fight solely for Rangers fans to take on, and so far, there are far too many who are showing that they have no stomach for it. Placard waving, press statements and rousing speeches have all been shown to be ineffective and that is because this will all come down to cold, hard cash. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
