I suppose if it wasn't for me and others not boycotting anything over the last few years then we would have a club. No need to thank us we done it for love and not plaudits ? I agree with most of what you say in that I would never boycott games and have no interest in buying from fans groups. I'm still no sure how we can get SD to renegotiate though while we continue to buy their stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Companies house should have had them by the 31st January like they did past 2 years but it takes Companies house 10-15 days to check and upload them into the public domain. Last 2 years its been the 6th and 16th February that they have become public. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the clubs lawyers are building a case to say that it's that one sided and it shouldn't have been signed. I'm also not sure if the outcome of the latest court case will have any impact on the contract but time will tell. Some other posts are saying the retail financials will be released soon, so the figures will be interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 7 year clause was added by Llambias late in 2014 then that should be fairly easy to challenge. How could it possibly be acting in the best interests of Rangers? Just need to be careful SD don't end up with 100% of RR even if its non trading and deal is broken because RR hold exclusive licenses for all the IP so RFC couldn't start selling stuff themselves or license others to use it while the RR entity exists. The easy way to take control is to either take 100% ownership of RR or have it dissolved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems more than unlikely. Best chance, IMO, we get the entire deal terminated in a court of law if possible. If not, then it looks like our retail arm is fucked.

So is this not more of a reason to buy merchandise from megastore, if if we're to buy out our share in rrl, it would cost them more, instead this boycotting is playing into there hands Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the club has now returned to its 51% share in RR and surely we would still have the control to dissolve or not shouId the current contract is binned through the courts ?

Guest Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I dont see buying a top as funding Ashley same as i dont see buying ST as funding a board or a CEO. I buy a ticket so i can go to a game and i buy shirts so my Daughter and i can wear our Club colours and show support to the team. I doubt theres a single fan on Earth who buys a shirt support MA.

BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Buy your Rangers Shirt wherever, wear it with pride. Wear your Rangers Shirt wherever, wear it with pride. Until a real leader with money has his hand on the tiller then the only way to keep the gates open is to invest in The Rangers by buying entry money either with season tickets or a ticket on the day, simples !

TonyRice1872 105 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 If no-one bought any tops for 7 years, that would surely bring down the value of our next deal too, in my view you win some you lose some just buy the official tops if you were going to, don't let your son or daughter miss out if they want one just because of what the papers say Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
