Ben10 2,294 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Why would you give a club who tried to destroy our club money. But let us hope that you are the only fan of our club who goes. We were nearly gone to the wall, but yet you will still give the people who tried to destroy us money.We also gave money to motherwell and inverness who had more than a hand around our neck, but that was OK to attend. I fail to see the distinction, apart from the fact it would make more sense boycotting those games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

8watp8 254 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have a funny feeling that the united faithful would quite enjoy the prospect of filling out their stadium to watch their team comfortably beat Rangers with no Rangers fans there to outsing them.This is a terribly bad decision and one we will regret sooner rather than later. It is going to cost us, United aren't worried about money they will more than double through at least 2 stages of tournament progression. Boycott them in league games where it can actually hurt them, boycotting cup games is just stubborn stupidity.I do very much understand what you are saying, but i can garuantee utd will nowhere near fill their stadium. As for fans at the ground, i think our players may surprise you they will be riled up. Sacraficing one game for the bigger picture this is a war and its our turn to hit back, you mention that they will get money in later rounds but that is not the case unless they get celtic, did you see the attendances at the weekend?It isn't a coincidence that more and more groups are joining this. It wouldn't surprise me if green joined in, as this will also show people what to expect if they are deluded enough to keep the spl. imo its looking at the bigger picture. but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Blueshoff 11,990 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 A difficult decision to make. Personally I would not criticise either stance.I do wonder if a boycott could actually weaken our hand when it comes to negotiating a league restructure. Although commercial income would no doubt increase if we are not taking a support to away games we are not as attractive to those who vote in the spl Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds_Bear 8,158 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Lets face it, allowing our players to walk out at tannadice in front of a home crowd we will have encouraged to pack to the rafters will make a hard task near impossible,The only thing near impossible is Dundee Hibs packing anything other than a Reliant Robin to the rafters.

jamess 3,453 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's a chance to make a point. We can't be taken for granted, and we can organise ourselves to fight back when we have been attacked. 100% behind a full boycott. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebear 120 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 VB reiterates its call for a boycott Written by Admin Monday, 03 December 2012 14:27 Following today's Scottish Cup draw which paired Rangers with Dundee United at Tannadice, Vanguard Bears urges its members and the wider Rangers support in general to boycott the match. Dundee United were one of those clubs who voted against allowing Rangers entry to the SPL, and their Chairman Stephen Thompson has repeatedly, through his actions at high powered meetings, intimated further punishment to be administered on our club. The Rangers support has waited patiently for the opportunity to send a clear message to those that tried to destroy our club - starve them of their much needed cash by boycotting the game scheduled for 2nd/3rd February. We are at war. In battle, often sacrifices must be made to ensure the long term war is won. We ask the support to resist temptation of attending the game but rather give your hard-earned cash to a Rangers friendly pub, bar or club.
