Nothing will change because the fans will allow it. I will confess to not going to every away game though. Few go to every away game. Such is the demand. Do you take your full cccs allocation and go to those? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, again something that is the board's responsibility to consider and if they already have, they are clearly taking that risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your honesty, but am not surprised you too suggest it but dont go to those games. Bottom line for me is love Rangers more than I hate our enemies. Boycotting imo would have a negative impact on the team so it's a non starter. Plus, my main grievance is with the sfa and MSM. Theres actions the club could take against both that would have far bigger impact than what we as fans can do. And I've called you fuck all names til this point. Now fuck off you walloper.

I`m sick of filling the pockets of the haters of the club.. I think you are directing your angst at the wrong people. All points of the compass point to this board and our frustration in their lack of action and a spine in all these matters should be taken out against them. Thereafter, if they look to boycott, then more would be in agreement. It's simple for them, as all they only need to not accept away allocations. We are under serious attack from all qypuarters and if the board cared one bit, they would set up a coherent strategy and a plan of action to counter it and not for us to go off half cocked. However, there appears to be no plan, no action, so our response to that is challenge the board on that, to try and spur them into action. If that fails, nothing changes and we continue to bend over and take it up the arse. As bad as that is. Our final act would be voting with our feet and I can see that coming.

magic8ball 27,901 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Better option than a full boycott ,Everybody turn up 10mins late ,or leave early ,turn away for a large period of the game etc , These can be done at home games ,well apart from leave early ,I suppose the subway loyal could maybe stay till the end Boycott wouldn’t work ,we need the other clubs on our side ,I know that’s a long shot but pissing them off ain’t going to help , This is an almost impossible situation we face ,authorities and media all sown up and singing the song the taigs tell them ,Any fix will take years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,428 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 It isn’t a surprise. The last decade or so the tarriers have had carte blanche to do what they want, when they want and how they want. They fully believe they’re untouchable and numerous incidents especially over the last 2-3 years have shown this. The repercussions for their actions are non-existent and it’ll continue with those in positions of power and in the media continually spouting what they do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media spin headline would be Rangers killing the game! I do wonder as to why this board's lack of action against our haters, then add the racism issue and the ref bias. Beggars belief tbh. However, make no mistake, the haters agenda remains to put us out of business, or wound us so much, we can never be a threat and imo imo they are winning. The longer we go without winning a title, the fans will simply vote with their feet and who could blame us, paying good money for a rigged game where the winner is known before it begins? I despise the board in their allowing all this to happen, when there are steps they can take to defend us and stop this rot, but it just isn't happening.

Boycott every away game till the end of the season.. A boycott is the only way... Marches only attract fannies who start trouble and banners don`t have any impact.. Boycott or be trodden on How will boycotting games make our board speak up on refs not applying the rules, Rangers personnel being attacked? Wouldn't an emergency AGM be best, as what is happening is affecting our finances, brand and reputation and ability to play in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarriers have quite a history of throwing things , is it 2 young Rangers fans hit with bottles they flung , a banger that led too a kids injury they tossed into our fans before we cut their allocation, they attacked the front door of ibrox with stones and bottles after they won the league just a cpl of seasons ago , All these attacks were carried out by adults Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that point of view. And I am more than happy to accept the nature of the attack could be far worse than how I perceive it atm. I just cannot trust a story involving the man. Especially one of such vague detail. You can interpret it that he was koshed with a brick or a pebble hit him on the shoe. The fact he’s told the sun it’s due to his job tells me he’s fine. Until there is an arrest and further clear detail on the incident I won’t take it as seriously as some on here. I just have too much scepticism. In a week of dropped points, manager scrutiny, more Alfie scrutiny, diseased pitch, yet again kit deal problems this could be a very very minor incident blown up to deflect. Take our minds off pressing issues. That’s the PRs job. Especially with attack off Stewart - it’s an easy deflection - if that’s what it is. If it is as bad as it could be - then of course I’ll be angry and hold my hands up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
