1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 A mate of mine has mentioned this on FollowFollow already (I can hear you's gasping as I type but he posts more to do with match tickets than anything else) I said I try and gauge any interest on here ....Sounding out interest just now to see if it's a good idea (or not) - 2100 Rangers fans all donating £10 each and paying Ajax's £21,000 fine for the "Fenian Bastards" banner.There's a couple of clubs (so far as we speak) willing to put their name to it.Now before any smartarse says it ;1- We are well aware Ajax can afford £21,000 themselfs.2- There probably are better things to do with £21,000 than to pay another teams fine.3- Technically it's nothing to do with us.Now that that's covered ...Yes or no - good idea?

The Dude 20,026 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 If people are willing to pay fines. Why not get lifted at a game under the new legislation, go to court, tear it to pieces and get us our songbook back then we can all chip in for the legal fees etc,.

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'd be keen for any money raised to go towards our own club. Not particularly fussed about Ajax. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviecooper01 826 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Aye, because what we really need to do right now is get involved in this.....Seriously? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helicopter Sundae 5,977 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Was thinking about this myself 1stJan, but any connection/connotaion to us regarding this just throws us into the mix regarding something we ourselves have been sanctioned for....FARE got our away fans banned in Malmo.So although a great thought, we should steer well clear, otherwise we will end up being accused of endorsing the banner.

No.12 508 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 We'd get hammered for having a F*nian Bastards banner, so why bail another club out.No from me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR 1,480 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 As much as I would love to see the Press in this country go into meltdown over this, if I'm perfectly honest I'd prefer to donate cash to help some deserving 'Gers fan have a day out or a better quality of life etc. I work too hard to give it up for anything related to them .However, the fact this has made the message boards probably already has some member of the Great Unwashed writhing in fury on his piss stained mattress and screaming for blood!

scarkev 3,540 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Remember when Celtic fans were talking about sponsoring raith players and attending games of teams who voted against us....remember how pathetic and obsessed that seemed? Well this is along the same lines mate....by all means do everything to highlight the media blackouts on their behaviour and the hypocrisy of how they are treated but this just seems petty and pointless!

SteveJ 743 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 So 2100 Rangers fans put a tenner in and pay the fine, with the rest of the thousands of fans suffering by association? Pathetic idea.We may have all had a chuckle and a laugh at the banner - myself included - but to go all out and associate our club with this, when we have already been through the mire, is just people looking for negative attention. Why can you not think about the club for a change instead of getting one over on those twats across the river? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.T.G 10,773 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Ajax have said they will recoup the money from those responsible for the bannerBit harsh considering they offended folk who beat up policemen and wrecked dam square Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
