corkinator 611 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 With all the recent news of, clubs literally BEGGING fans to buy season tickets, including, Celtic, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, hibs, Dundee utd, Motherwell, etc, some even phoning old season ticket holders, trawling pubs, leaflets through doors, playing on their historical religious bigotry. Other clubs supplying transport for AWAY fans and clubs "stand alone plans" nothing but empty bravado wrapped in bullshit, is this the beginning of the end for the Scottish game?I honestly believe we will see more radio shows getting bumped, who is gona listen in? I know of dozens of gers fans already switching off.traditional boozers in towns, rangers away fans went to, go under, as already some landlords have stated no rangers fans will be catastrophic for business as some make up to 5 times the usual when a rangers game is on in the town.NO competition, probably for the next 3-5 years, season tickets at every club down apparently. All of Scotland's teams will probably be out of Europe by August.And by the time we get back to the top flight who knows what wasteland await us.I genuinely believe it's the end of our game as we have known it, I find it astonishing that a few hundred bigots at every spl club have created this.Or am I being overly optimistic?

El Carpintero 546 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It maybe the end for Scottish football as a wider spectrum, although i think that came a few years ago, it most certainly is not the end for its greatest club, Rangers FC, this is just the beginning(pardon the use of this expression, but it is) of a wonderful chapter in our glorious history. Despite the woes which face the national game i believe we are in a very good place with an outstanding opportunity to grow, and grow within our means. Everything is in place for us, no other Scottish club can boast the resources, stature, fanbase and history that we have, none, we have all the tools needed and now we just need keep supporting our club like we have done and no matter what state Scottish football finds itself in, we will still prosper, i do not believe we need them but i do believe they need us, but fuck them, they have made their bed, they can lie in it, i hope they die in their sleep.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,190 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It's defineatly the end of top Scottish football as we know it, we were/are 1/3 of Scottish Football, a lot will be hurt this season but they'll survive until they realise that they really do need the extra 1/3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you glory in the demise of Scottish Football - that is looking for us to be weaker - there is no doubt that there will be less money kicking about without us in the top flight but it will survive - and as far as I am concerned the last thing Rangers need is a weakened game - we need regime change at the top and the strongest leagues available - and then we need to win them!

iain1712 336 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 After recent events in Scottish football it wouldn't surprise me one bit if we found ourselves back in the top league next season. If it comes to pass I hope our club are savvy enough to keep out of the picture when all the shady deals are brokered, leaving absolutely no doubt in anybodies mind that they are asking us back because they need us. And any reconstruction is not seen as giving us any preferential treatment. Let them totally embarass themselves in front of the world as they tear up their sporting integrity stance in public again.

Adoniram 1,919 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Regardless of league reconstruction our game is as good as dead and was in terminal decline well before we went in to freefall.The actions of the last few months will take 10 to 20 years to rectify.

If our administration was down to a criminal act then all of the punishments we have received could well be overturned in a court of law.
