Boab 73 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 John Barnes @JohnBarnes01Rangers Fans Fighting Fund pays Dunfermline debt of £22,000. But have decided after discussions not to pay moneys owed to Dundee United as there were strong views that, in recent times, Dundee United had treated Rangers and their fans with disdain."RFFF statement "Consideration was also given to using some more of the funds to pay off money owed to Dundee United.But that was rejected, Rangers fans were angry last season when Dundee United levied an extra charge on Rangers ticket holders if they wished to attend the abandoned game at Tannadice."--------------------------------------------Posted Thursday 29th March 2012After being asked by several media outlets for comment, here is ArabTRUST's response to several reports from last night and this morning in relation to a statement made by Rangers Fans Fighting Fund Chairman Andrew McCormick."We fail to see why the current situation at Rangers should be used, by some, to fuel divisions between rival sets of supporters. This cannot be good for the game."However, with regard to the comments in respect of the abandoned match at Tannadice, the Club advised that the decision to charge less than half price admission to both home and away fans for the replayed match referred to was due to extenuating circumstances, particularly the police and stewarding costs associated with any match involving an Old Firm club. Any residual amount over and above the operational costs of staging the match was reported as donated to the United for Kids appeal."Far from being "disdainful", the Club's actions were supported by the SPL and, indeed, in the Sheriff Court when challenged by one Rangers supporters' club. However in view of the Fighting Fund's stated reason for not paying Dundee United, it is somewhat ironic that their funds, donated by supporters, are now being used to settle the amount owed by their club for tickets which they, the supporters, had already paid for."The football authorities must now take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the rules of their competitions, including those involving financial fair play and settlement, are fully complied with to avoid further disputes and unnecessary tension between fans."Derek Robertson, ArabTRUST Chairmanhttp://www.arabtrust.co.uk/current/?598-statement Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
