The Louden Tavern: Ibrox Stadium – Reason for not showing the RTV game

[The Louden Tavern 1,765]

This weekend Rangers will play Elgin away from home and the match will be available to purchase from RangersTV.tv – We will not be showing this game.

The primary reason for this is that we were asked not to by Rangers. The club believes that sales could be detrimentally affected if pubs show the game and in addition could lead to a weakening of the clubs position in any future TV contract negotiations. This is what the club believe and therefore we take the same position.

We requested an opportunity to take out a commercial package to show the games, however, Rangers are not in a position to offer such a deal under the restrictions imposed on us under the current TV deal that we had to accept to gain our SFA License. The club has intimated that they will try to sort out a commercial deal for next season so we are hopeful as we have all the facilities in place to showpiece these games.

I would like to take this opportunity to clarify that we are no longer associated with The Louden Tavern in Duke Street. We feel that The Louden Tavern: Ibrox Stadium needs our full attention; such is the scale of the project. We anticipate we will be making improvements for another two years before we get to a level we are satisfied with.

We believe we have the greatest club, the greatest fans, and we believe we will have the greatest pub. Hope you enjoy the journey with us.

We Are The People

God Bless The Rangers

Well played again from the greatest pub in the world. It's always about what's best for Rangers.

Looking forward to popping in when I'm up next.

Nothing worse than sitting in the boozer with the game on the tranny.

Edit. Just read full post

Was in last night for a pint after the game and great service and a good pint as always. Onwards and upwards for the greatest pub in the world!
