AlBear. 8,499 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Bye then, another fan will benefit from you walking away.Exactly. The spl clubs buckled to these threats because they couldn't afford even one fan walking away. At Rangers there will always be another fan Ready to step up. And when there isnt? Well I'll just get to work on having children of my own to fill any void. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 No Deep down it is IBROX stadium and on the surface for a few years it will be the sports direct Ibrox stadium or whatever. You've got it arse for elbow.You know what I mean. Too many folk willing to sell traditions. As another poster said, Our founding fathers would be turning in there grave.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Im sure they will. I'll still continue to follow Rangers away like I always do, Going to SDIA wouldnt be the same.So you'll fund other clubs before you fund your own? Great stuff.A new company was a bigger change than a sponsorship, is that not the same? Rab_Rangers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser1041 9,088 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Not sure about it tbh if the share issue went so well and we cant sign players why the big rush. On the other hand it would increase our turnover so the 33% spent on players. / wages is now increased Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Forever 179 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm sure the founding fathers would want the people running Rangers to explore every avenue for strengthening the club. This is one such avenue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
better than all the rest 153 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 We are all still going to watch the Rangers play, we nearly didn't have a team never mind a stadium. If the romours are true the 7.5M is a good bit of business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron1873 512 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Pish.Still be known as Ibrox .And lets not refuse cash from advertising as we need all the Money we can get to aid our future.We need to look at all avenues of revenue ,including naming rights.Every club are doing it , including Dumbarton .Fair enough i didn't realize dumbarton were doing it. I completely change my mind.Since you want to look at every avenue and you don't mind ripping the heart out the club buy selling off parts of it to the highest bidder what do you think about selling our badge to sports direct and start using theirs. Fuck it while we are at it let's get the players running out in sport direct uniform, I'm sure we would get a fortune for that lutonblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want Rangers to turn out like them. Remember 'Everything' is for sale at this Club.As said to you already, the Salzburg situation is because Red Bull actually bought the club, a rare situation and very poor argument against a stadium sponsorship. I'm not saying you haven't funded us but now you're withdrawing it for no good reason at all while still funding clubs that hate us (at least some SFL clubs are included in that).
