ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Prepared to take the stick for this.Charles Green doesn't want supporters, he sees every single one of us as a customer. I think it was even him that said that we'd spend wisely and have a pot of so much sitting in the bank by the time we get back to the SPL. Today we were told we had 21million pounds in the bank, why would you sell our history and tradition for pennies? Money we don't need. It's a sad day when your selling 114 years off tradition for less than what jelavic was sold for? No? This phrase that it will 'always be know as ibrox' no it won't, I'm fed up telling other clubs fans that we are Rangers and I won't even argue with them when it comes to an Ibrox debate, it'll be the sports direct arena.Hope everyone who were in favour ain't going to complain when the match reports from the sports direct arena are taking digs, because its Ibrox. Hope it was worth the few million quid when Ibrox looks like an American baseball stadium with Sports direct signs all over the place.Can't wait for a title decider at the sports direct arena myself.Goodnight Ibrox.

JamieD 19,253 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The only people who this ought to bother are people who think such things CAN be bought and sold.

adam2102 582 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 charles green owns a business so yes we are his customers. however, he also sees that we are supporters. if supporters are happy, his customers are happy - he makes more money. thats how you do business.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Supporters have always been customers, when you buy a ST or a shirt or a pie at HT thats you giving the club your custom, please dont be so naive as to think that football supporters have not always been the money makers for clubs because we have.

The Dude 20,026 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Sports Direct signs will get pretty tiresome to look at after a few weeks.Why? I've spent the last twenty years looking at a host of other signs all over the stadium. T-Mobile across the front of the club deck, Pepsi had big banners in the main stand throughout the 90's. We have video boards around the pitch constantly flashing companies logos at me, not to mention the giant screens and the TVs in the concourses.EDIT: Christ, I nearly forgot the ones printed across the chest of the 22 players on the pitch, and on the tracksuits of all the subs and coaching staff in the dugouts and all over the supporters merchandise.
