*Manticore* 1,893 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 And who are you to be "educating" people? If you read the whole thread you might manage to reduce the chances of making such foolish comments.You arrogant, pompous arse.And I think quite highly of you.

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It is not purely based on the financial, Ibrox is our home and we shouldn't boycott our own home coz we don like our visitors.It's also a case of showing that regardless of the competition, regardless of when we will not fill their stadiums as a matter of pronciple Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle 3,734 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Good answer. That's me telt.Now, where were we? oh yes - do you have anything to back up your claim that boycotting this tie will financially impact DU?Given that Dundee United aren't able to replace us as the opponents, and therefore cannot replace our away support with another, there will be a financial impact on them unless they are able to fill the empty seats with their own supporters.The fact that Dundee fans may have gone to Tannadice is neither here nor there to be honest.1 seat empty that we would have filled is evidence of the boycott having a financial impact.

So even without us in attendance, they will probably have more home fans than they would have had against any (edit: almost any) other team even including the away fans.

SectionRedHMS 190 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 If we boycott the game away to Dundee United that's one thing. There is however a chance of a draw and a replay at Ibrox is their not? What would happen in that situation? Most probably we'd pack Ibrox, split the gate, and the whole situation would become a farce.Regardless of what happens in terms of a boycott let's hope to fuck we don't draw that game it'd be a disaster.It's not about the money.

govanblue 16,847 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It's not about the money.It is very much about the money. The majority of Bears who expressed a preference have made it very clear that they don't want to plough a penny into the SPL clubs' coffers.As the issue has developed, it has become more about making a statement. But that statement is in part "You're not getting our money" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It's about making the statement that they can no longer rely on our massive sell out at away games anymore and thus cannot budget on expected earnings.They said they didn't need or want Rangers so why should they get all the money that thousands of bears travelling to their shit hole of a town brings?Let's see how they cope with the biggest support in Scotland saying 'FUCK YOU' when their big home game comes along.It's not hard to understand.It doesn't make any sense from a financial point of view. It's full of contradictions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
