More than likely capacity will be 4000 with 2500 going to rangers

Any pubs in Glasgow showing the match on Tuesday night?

The sad thing is I get the impression that Perry himself does think he is good enough to play for Rangers!! A real reality check for a few yesterday. I think the poor form of our defence is affecting the confidence of the whole team because they know every time a time goes up the park they are likely to score.

This was sent to me by a friend: Here’s Davie Ross’s suggestions for league reconstruction: (the 16-10-18 option had been quoted) Seems a crazy set-up to me and one the SPL will never accept, given there needs to be an 11-1 vote in favour. All manner of nutty suggestions seem to be out there, including a three-way split. Including the OF reserve teams is just plain wrong. Yes, other countries include second elevens in their set-ups but not just those of the two biggest clubs. This will though be attractive to clubs in the lowest tier who can expect matches against OF reserves to provide their biggest crowds and certainly far in excess of anything which would be attained by the addition of two new clubs to the league. That doesn’t mean it’s right. We still don’t know what the 16-team proposal means. Presumably not just 30 games a season. Too easy, too simple and too logical for those dreaming up these proposals. I imagine there will be some kind of a split involved. 8-6, 7-7, or 6-8- The lowest level would only play each other twice as that would entail 34 games but presumably the middle division sides would still have to meet four times a season to achieve a reasonable number of games. So we would have a top division where sides met either three or four times a season, a middle one where they met four times and a bottom one where they met twice. Crazy. Then again this is the league that brought you lopsided home and away games, 20 for some, 19 for others, for almost two decades. And it is being opposed by a league which will give some teams 18 home games and others 20 and can’t publish a fixture list for the season, not even along the lines of Team 1 v Team 6, or Team 7 v Team 12 for the post-split fixtures. FWIW I for one have no objections to three divisions though I think two national leagues with regional structures below them is more logical. But I would make it two divisions of 16, as existed in the first decade after WW2 when, perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not, the game was at its most competitive in Scotland. An imaginary set-up for 2015-16 along those lines could be as follows. For 2014-15 no relegation from the SPL and automatic promotion for the top two from the 1st division. Play-offs between sides 3rd-6th for the two remaining top flight places. The six remaining 1st division sides all to enter level 2 in 2015-16. The top eight in the current 2nd plus the 3rd division champions to enter level 3 with play-offs between the bottom two in the 2nd and sides 2-3 in the 3rd for the remaining level 3 place. The ten unsuccessful sides, including play-off losers, to be redistributed to regional leagues. Here’s the hard part. Deciding what is a region, how many clubs and how to establish a pyramid. There is one obvious feeder league and that’s the Highland League. I suggest two others, East & North, & West & South. Assuming that The Rangers have managed to climb up the leagues by then and imagining the current 3rd division plus bottom of 2nd comprises the ten clubs excluded from the national structures then redistribution would go as follows: Elgin City & Peterhead return to the Highland League Stranraer, Annan Athletic Queen’s Park, Clyde to W&S Montrose, Berwick Rangers, East Stirlingshire, Stirling Albion to E&N The required quota for a feeder league would be a minimum of 16 for a 30 game season. The Highland League would now have 20, more than enough. How then do you make up the numbers for the other regions? I suggest adding both senior and junior sides. I realise many junior teams are happy where they are but some will want to test themselves at a higher level. The only fair way to do it is to award equal status to senior and junior non-leagues. Looking at last season’s tables as a guide and assuming every eligible club would want to enter the pyramid and have facilities capable of doing so we would add to the E&N region as follows: EoSL: Stirling University, Spartans, Whitehill Welfare, Edinburgh University, Edinburgh City, Gretna 2008 East Juniors: Bonnyrigg Rose, Hill of Beath Hawthorn, Linlithgow Rose North Juniors: Hermes, Stonehaven, Dyce I have allocated six senior & six junior despite the anomalies such as Gretna and what I think most people would see as the stronger of the two junior leagues (east in case you were wondering) only having the same representation as the weaker one. But I can’t think of any other way to do it. When regional leagues were in existence in England between the 1920s-1950s the Southern was generally regarded as much stronger than the Northern and there were many geographical anomalies but promotion and relegation remained equal. In the west the additional clubs would be easier to allocate. Six from the SoSL & 6 six from the West Juniors. SoSL: Dalbeattie Star, Threave Rovers, Heston Rovers, St Cuthbert Wanderers, Newton Stewart, Mid-Annandale West Juniors: Irvine Meadow, Petershill, Auchinleck Talbot, Clydebank, Beith, Ashfield Again, there is an obvious disparity with the juniors apparently stronger. However these things generally sort themselves out over time. How many former Tayside teams in the East Juniors Premier today as compared to the start? How would it work from 2015-16 onwards? First, the return of the League Cup to sections. But based on geography, thus ensuring derby matches for local rivals not in the same division (St Mirren & Morton, Kilmarnock & Ayr United) and also giving TV companies their precious four OF games per season. It would – or should – also guarantee four Edinburgh & Dundee derbies per season as well. This should make the idea of returning to playing each other just twice in the league more palatable for the bigger clubs. Except Aberdeen, and screw them as they seem to be behaving like Rangers proxy SPL vote at the moment. So, a 30 game top division. Bottom two automatically relegated. Top two in Level 2 automatically promoted. Third last in Level 1 to play-off against teams 3-5 in Level 2. Bottom three in Level 2 automatically relegated. Winners of regional leagues automatically promoted. Fourth last in Level 2 to play-off against runners-up in regional leagues. Composition of regional leagues to be amended as necessary at the end of the each season. Remaining senior & junior leagues to merge/split as appropriate so as to form own part of pyramid. Simples, eh?

a lot of people took holidays/time of work to go to those games but for some reason they dont feel the same urge to take time of to go to this match

So far mccoist has not done a lot wrong. Won the 2 home games comfortably but struggling a bit away from home and that was always going to be expected until the players settle down. The away form is no reflection on mccoist's ability as a manager but more on our players ability to adapt to play at stadia / grounds that may present a challenge to them. Let all get behind mccoist and stop all this nonsense of is he the right man.

All the best Broaderz Always kept himself physically fit even when injured and played everywhere but his preferred position of sweeper. All in all for a player that cost us nothing then he leaves owing us nothing.

you're having a laff 8 quid to park your car for 2 hours = £4 per hour!! ok some folk may say the money goes to the club and that is fair enough but why do RFC only charge 5 quid for the family car park on broomloan road?

Kyle is a protestant who has 2 brothers - 1 supports Celtic & 1 supports Rangers.His father is a Celtic supporter but his wife is Jamie Adam's sister and the whole Adams family are all Rangers daft. All in all Kevin has prob wore a Celtic strip as a youngster without really supporting them as most weekends from a young age he will of been playing foorball and not watching it. Welcome aboard Kevin I dont mind as long as you do the business for us.

load of sh!t on this thread slagging naisy. naisy walked because he was never going to kick another football for rangers again as they were never going to get into SPL and rangers will not have any 20K a week players on their books playing in the SFL. i dont trust green and i get the feeling not a lot of the players do either so if you take all of that into account then naisy wanted to be in control of his own destiny and you cant blame him for that. best of luck to him.

Agreed mate - Bomber loves the club and is following his heart in a bid to get the best for the club going forward. He may not be the best talker but he wears his heart on his sleeve and has rangers best interests at heart. What is the current stance of the supporters group and what scrutiny is being applied to Green & Co by them?

Agreed mate - did you get your info from bomber What would be a realistic price for Div3 - £300?

The average price for a season book in SFL division3 is approx £160 for adult in stand and £60 for u16 What would rangers pitch there prices at how many of the current first team squad that is left would remain?

If the green deals somehow falls thru and it is announced that CW is returning back to IBROX to run the show - who would renew their tickets? The moral of this story is that a lot of people would not renew if CW was leading our club. If DK is correct & Green is another CW with no cash then are we right to be wary of Green? Given what has gone before then I think a lot of people will be wary of parting with cash until there is more clarity with regards to what path the club is being taken down.
