MasterD 7,457 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wonder if the OP was raging at the directors for going to Mar Hall for a nice expensive meal and drinks lately.Surely they could have all went to the local Wetherspoons where they could get 2 meals for £6.49.

CaptainofIndustry 921 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 In fairness, Ally had no idea 4 star hotels were more expensive than cheap hotels. He had no knowledge of their pricing structure until Graham Wallace talked to him last week. It was news to Ally, as I'm sure it was to a lot of other people at the club. Ally's view is Rangers are a big club and their hotel bills should be larger than those of other clubs. Ally would have liked to spend more money on hotel bills this month.

pcbear 10,932 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The rest and recuperation had the players right out the blocks at Forfar, instantly settling in to our sparkling pass and move style blowing the opponents away with panache.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Heard boots are pretty expensive. They should train in plimsoles.while we are at it, lets get rid of our training complex and play at local parks again.fuck it, lets just pay our players minimum wage, problems solved..... And use zero hour contracts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 15,293 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 But remember that in travel brochures four star hotels are usually only three at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 15,293 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This is one of those situations we will never ever win. Can you imagine the uproar if we booked into a semen stained travelodge, as a fan it would be another low...We should travel when we can in our luxury coach, and we should stay over when we can't and it should be four/five stars cos we are Rangers.Dont forget too that at the start of the season accommodation and travel will be budgeted for. I agree though that accommodation on short trips is lunacy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerry1971 249 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have no problem in using these facilities for bigger games , cup ties among others. But in the present situation it seems to be rather daft pampering our team so we can defeat the might that is Forfar.!!!It's all very well Ally saying he will do it until otherwise told... Besides what is the fancy bus for then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,526 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Are we criticising McCoist for this because we don't think Wallace and/or Stockbridge approved the decision? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny131 11 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I honestly think Ally is living in another planet from the rest of us. Forfar also went somewhere for food, i`m guessing they must have went to the hilton seeing they were playing Rangers. Would not surprise me if they were using 10 pound notes for loo roll until someone tells him to cut back and get supersaver loo roll. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 55,426 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Usual format on here nowadays. Ally loyal defend it / him. Enough of Ally camp against it / him.Topic changes, the format doesn't. So entrenched, objectivity seems a thing of the past.For what its worth, and given this was discussed on here last year, its clearly supported by Ally and previous boards.Can see this changing bar the odd exception after Mr Wallace's review.

Figo 91 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Rangers - Its all the scottish public wants to read about! and anyway if Im ever on business with work I sure as feck aint staying in a travel tavern. decent digs has been a staple of "Business trips" for ever. to suggest that the greatest institution in our country cant have it it bollocks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 55,426 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 RockwellFair do's if so mate.Just going from what I've read.And my gut feeling is that no matter the topic, you can already determine the views of dozens of posters before they post.Some Ally loyal have stated previously they defend Ally on all points as they believe its a bit of a witchhunt against him.And for some against Ally, yeah I reckon every little thing he is associated with is condemned.Just find it a bit tedious just now.

Shuggy 1,308 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I presume the hotel was after the game not before. I would like to know the cost first, I suspect this question will arise when Wallace meets the fans groups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKA 545 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Firstly, was it not the case that they didn't actually stay overnight? - they only used if for a wee nap in the afternoon after the tortuous journey of under 2 hours in the luxury coach.Secondly all the sarky comments (apart from mine) are out of order - we shoot ourselves in the foot when we pull a stunt like this - it is like food and drink to the haters.And finally, how many times has Butcher talked about buying the team a fish supper on the LONG (compared to ours) coach journey to Inverness?We need to earn the right to be so bloody precious and we haven't done that yet.

That is if the schedule is not a complete wind up...... which I am sure it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
