Very good article. Well written and clearly makes his points with evidence to back them up.

A lot of good work. Some very interesting answers. Some seem a bit padded such as there accomplishments. With regards to board members being elected. I am not a member of the RST due to MD as he does not speak for me as part of the rangers support and I disagree with plenty that he says. Every election he is unanimously voted onto the board so my one vote against wouldn't achieve anything and I refuse to be a member where he is my spokesman. Thus while he is the spokesman I will not join. I don't mind him being a RST member but while he is in his current capacity I will not join.

Nah I checked that with Zebra and the club. Nothing has went through at all

I spoke to rangers and zebra and both confirmed that nothing is in my name and that it hasn't went through

I spoke to Zebra who didn't have my details and weren't doing any check

I cant renew with the 10 month option over the phone and i work either in Edinburgh or in a prison between the opening hours so online is my only option

I am trying to renew my season ticket. I thought I had done it online last night but when I didnt receive a confirmation I called the ticket office and they said that I should contact Zebra finance as it goes direct to them. I did this and they advised me that they had no details for me and to contact Rangers again. I called the ticket centre back and was advised that they do get notification of renewals before it gets sent to Zebra but nothing was appearing for myself. I can only afford to renew through the 10 month option but was told this wasnt possible over the phone and that I needed to do online which now doesnt show my ST and thus I cant do it online which I advised them or in person. Ticket centre is open 10-4 which is the most awkward time if people work and cant get out. I work in a prison between 8-5 so how am I meant to make it within these times. I advised the ticket centre of this and was told nothing we can do to help you renew. I asked about emailing me a form which I could fill out and return but was advised that they couldnt do this either. I am absolutely fuming at the lack of assistance I am getting. It this their online system that hasnt worked and because of that I cant renew. Might not have explained it very well but just so angry right now

Just renewed there. Did it via the 10month option as its the only way I can afford it. Does anybody know how long it takes to be contacted

I didnt think we had seen the new SPFL rules, only a draft. They could argue that the SPFL doesnt exist yet so the deduction isnt applicable. Im looking for confirmation that they will be deducted 15 points as a minimum.

Thats exactly my point

"Hearts will go into administration within the next 24 hours. Papers have been lodged with the court of session in Edinburgh to formally begin the process. KPMG will be the company taking on the administration of the troubled Tynecastle club, while staff have been informed of the situation. If Hearts remain in administration by the opening of season 2013-14 in August, a points deduction of 15 points would be incurred. Players were not paid last week as Hearts continue to struggle with a cash shortfall. And the Scottish Premier League outfit then placed their entire squad up for sale, claiming they needed £500,000 to keep them running over the summer. That followed the threat of a winding-up order after Revenue and Customs threatened action over an unpaid £100,000 tax bill, although the majority of that sum has been paid. Hearts owe £15m to Ukio Bankas, which has been declared bankrupt. The liquidator of the Lithuanian bank can sell the 29.9% shareholding it has in Hearts as well as Tynecastle Stadium, which was held as security for the debt. In addition, another £10m is due to the club's Lithuanian parent company, UBIG - who have close to 50% of the shares and is claiming insolvency. A liquidator with the power to sell UBIG's Hearts shares will only be appointed if the company's bankruptcy is formalised. All the assets of UBIG have been frozen by the Lithuanian courts." The bit ive highlighted in red doesn't seem right to me. Hearts were not given a deduction as the SPL judged that they hadnt suffered a administration event last season so if it happens after the last game of last season then surely the points deduction should automatically take effect next season. Seems grossly unfair that you could go into administration every summer and reduce your debt in theory if you wanted. Hearts were quick enough to put the boot into us when we went into Administration so I am very keen to see them get booted about as much as we were,

I hope smith is just a backup for Wallace. Wallace was our best player last year and while I thought that Smith was decent when he played for us he is no Wallace. Small wages and a backup role hopefully.

Was really struggling to afford it this year but the 10month option males it manageable. I know its more expensive but so much easier to spread it out more

I havent heard anything about this but he would do a good job for us in the second division. liked him when I seen him a few years ago. Had potential

Good to see that we are signing good young players with resale value. Should do a job for us for a few years first

Very happy with this signing. Good to hear that he didnt even entertain the idea of signing for another club when he knew we were interested. Good keeper who could be with us for the best part of 10 years.

Fantastic article. Hit the nail on the head

Really happy that prices have been frozen. Dont know if I can afford to renew this year but this decision helps make things a little bit easier.

Can't make it on Saturday. Released my ticket so hopefully another bear can enjoy

Maybe their is some "sporting integrity" after all. The SPL are trying to force this through and its not going to work. The only people that benefit from the SFL is the 1st division clubs. Nothing changes for the bottom 18 so why would they ever vote for this ridiculous proposal.

Wasnt able to make it today as im down in Hawick on work commitments. Sounds like i didnt miss much. I thought our stated attendances have been higher than what it actually was for a while. Most weeks the club deck seems empty along with plenty of empty seats in the main stand.

Very good article from Chris. We shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as then. UB are real fans

Not a great player in my opinion. Though he wasnt very good today. Never a wide player in my opinion and should never ever be played out there. He has a slightly better chance up front but i dont expect him to be with us for very long. We need better players for moving up the divisions. I expect Kane Hemmings to be our best young forward for the next few years

Does anybody have a video of the interview?
