Rangers Seek New London Meeting Venue As Hotel Pulls Out!

Rangers say they have been forced to search for an alternative venue in London ahead of their extraordinary general meeting on 4 March.


The club has blamed "complaints and false information" that led the Millennium Gloucester Hotel to fear "disruption to guests and neighbours".


Rangers stated that: "The board apologises for any inconvenience."


An EGM was called by shareholder Dave King, who hopes to win a vote to oust the current board of directors.


The date was announced shortly after Rangers agreed to accept a loan from Newcastle United and Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley needed to keep the Scottish Championship club in business.


But actions of the current regime has led to protests from Rangers fans as well as shareholder opposition.


London was a surprise choice for the meeting by the Glasgow club, who usually hold such events in their home city.


Now Rangers have announced that, "due to matters outwith its control", the proposed Kensington venue "is no longer available".


"The hotel management at the Millennium Gloucester has taken advice from different quarters and concluded that the GM cannot be managed without significant disruption to guests and neighbours," said a website statement.


"The hotel management felt it necessary to take this position after receiving numerous complaints and false information from individuals purporting to be shareholders.


"The board is concerned the situation was exacerbated by irresponsible and inaccurate media coverage.


"An alternative venue is currently being sought in the London area and will be announced as soon as possible."


Nobody at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel was available to comment other than to confirm that the event had been cancelled.
