LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 RANGERS’ trip to Elgin has been rearranged for Saturday, December 22 at 12.30pm – with the match against Annan moving forward 24 hours too as a result.The original meeting with City was postponed on Friday evening after the Borough Briggs side sold more than 1,100 tickets too many for the game.They were consequently fined £25,000 by the SFL last night, with £5,000 of that going to a charity of Gers’ choice.Now a new date for the match has been set and with both sides free on the weekend before Christmas they will meet then.As yet, no announcement has been made regarding whether or not that means the game will be on television.ESPN had planned to show the game three days ago and given the rearranged fixture won’t start at 3pm, it is anticipated some news on that front will be forthcoming.The home match against Annan now moves forward to Tuesday, December 18 from the Wednesday, with the kick-off time of that match remaining 7.45pm.http://www.rangers.c...elgin-date-set?

Dutchy 1,200 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'll be sitting in Holland then so getting a link to the game might be difficult, at least it's being played on a Saturday, so you'd imagine the chances are good that it will be TVised, but I don't know ESPN;s commitments for that weekend.3 points for Rangers will suit me, whether I get to see it, or not.

They couldn't give a shit about your (or any of us) arrangements.They live on a different planet than the rest of us.As always it's the hard-pressed supporters (who fund the fucking game) who get shafted.

I work Tuesday nights, might be able to start at 1am depending on how it busy it isJust pencil in a sick-day for the Tuesday.New nightshift Manager is a bluenose and my team leader is a bluenose, whilst they may have understanding, to an extent, they would hammer me for it because they would know why I was off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nymrod 30 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Fuck sake, going to struggle to get to that midweek game now... Took the fucking day off on the Wednesday for it tooYeh, really pissed off about this as well. Took a days holiday for the Wednesday because of the rearrangement of this game. Now, I find out that they've changed the date again. Well to hell with that. Powers that be should NOT have arranged the Elgin game for the Saturday if it was going to affect another tie!! Really pissed off about this Rangers!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVB 2,560 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Does this not make our fixture list a bit hectic over the xmas period?I'm looking forward to the jaunt down the A9 on Boxing Day, then 3 days later, and then the 2nd January at Annan for a mid-dayish kickoff is just the cherry on the cake.Just a pity this Elgin game is so close, makes it too easy to get to.No fun in that.
