Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Division 3 for me! and it would be great passing by the clubs who stabbed us in the back. On our way back up to the spl as they're on there way down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 How can we assume we will be up in 3? We will have to play our youth (assuming they stay!!) for a while and then we will have to work our way up the spl, this is going to take longer than 3 seasons Im afraid.. You're off your head mate.

BigAmo 13 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Div III for me. If we can't be in Europe for three years, let's not do anything financially to help the clubs who want our scalps. Div III teams will be pickled to come to Ibrox. Their entire towns could fit in there! The atmosphere will be the same, blood the youth and grow Rangers FC from the ground up. Scottish Football. We can either be a part of it, or apart from it. Either way, we will carry on. I will renew my internet subscription/iphone app and I will buy a kit regardless of what division we're in. I think Ally would really shine with the youngsters too as we move up the ranks.. legitimately.. then horserape the teams who by then will be so financially poor off they'll throw a parade at Rangers return.

BigAmo 13 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If possible, wherever they'd let us in down in England would be my preferred option, second and more realistic would be Div 3, but I think the most likely outcome will be severe penalties for the 'pleasure' of playing in the SPL.You know what that's not a bad point. If we get into the lowest England division and work our way up.. vs getting into the lowest Scottish division and work our way up.. even a blind man could see the benefit there? Nice one.

We will have to play our youth (assuming they stay!!) for a while and then we will have to work our way up the spl, this is going to take longer than 3 seasons Im afraid.why would they leave??? they are regularly punted off to the lower leagues - this time, they actually get to play for us. i want div 3 if we cant get into the English league. with no Europe anyway, its a no-brainer. i dont want other fans turning their noses up at us that they let us in. particularly since we are so needed in the SPL. no-one will watch that crap if we are not there.we'll be back in 3 years easy. just got to make sure we have a long term plan regarding playing style and bringing younger kids through the ranks.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,545 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 i said it months ago, division 3 for me, never wanted back in the SPL the minute they spoke of further sanctionslet the fuckers rot in hell Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird_Beard 99 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Anyone who wants a newco Rangers in he Spl is a rocket.We will be more than likely offering incentives to the smaller clubs for their vote to stay in the SPL. WHY?...... because it's better for the club in the long term. Not only would be be killing the SPL by opting for div 3 but we will be killing ourselves. This is why clubs are ran by business men and not narrow minded fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrigBear 3 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 . You're off your head mate.How often to.teams bounce back up to the spl after being relegated? Division 1 is a hard league to get out of, ask dundee Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAllyLeeds92 0 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 All depends on the spl penalties. The harsher they become the more attractive Div 3 becomes.But what owner or investor whether its Green, PM, BK or whoever will sign up in the first place to this ?Div 3 2012/13?RangersAnnan Athletic Berwick ClydeEast Stirling Elgin Montrose Peterhead Queens Park Stranraer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooblue 105 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 If we applied to the English league Is there a law that stops us from applying ?according to a post I saw elsewhere possibly no (the wording of the English FA's last statement being that they would not accept an application from another association (it all hinging whether we were still part of the SFA or not).... seems a bit flimsy to me tho.

So if Gretna applied for the Spl today you would support there bid?Would this count for all the other teams who are not in the leagues?Killing ourselves?

Think Murray and Whyte have already done that.Exactly what are you getting at?At first you were going on about sticking it to the SPL. Now are you taking the moral stance for why we should be in the 3rd division?Yes damaging ourselves more than we have to. You want to take a 3 year hiatus with even more loss of revenue so we can climb all the way back up to the SPL that we're trying to ruin? Where's the sense in that?

You think the revenue will from playing in Div's 3,2,1 will give us all that money in time for making it back into the SPL?It sounds like you want us to take a cut in revenue so that they can take a cut in revenue without realising that they would still be making more money than us.

I've already outlined why.Exactly how big a profit do you expect to be turning in the 3rd division. Taking into consideration that you want to scupper our t.v deal by going into division 3. The spl will still have one. It might not be worth much but it all adds up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
