The Dude 20,026 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 1- I didn't know we had to buy the rights of the broadcast. I assumed it would work on the same principle as venue showing a live game (i.e pay for it at a premium and not a special application status)2- I know we couldn't show live games at 3pm on a Saturday. I actually meant to put that exception in.3- Yes, I agree actually. That would be the sticking point - the other clubs would soon get together and change the rules again to hinder us doing this. I was talking ideally anyway !!We wouldn't simply get away with plugging a sky box into the big screens. We even need the express permission of the SPFL board to broadcast games at Ibrox on the screens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Mr King has said this shit could take a few years to reach a conclusionCan we stop even discussing it until we have something to worry aboutI think it's due to the constant mhedia speculation and the scum stoking the fires.

jintybear 8,630 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 TBH I actually think if (and it's a very big if) they stripped our titles then a lot of our fans would boycott. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rangers FC 751 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The costs of stewarding, catering, perhaps policing and also depending how many stands were to open would probably mean it wouldn't be cost efficient. I'm no expert tho it's just a viewpoint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose1975 1,287 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Not afraid to say I decided at the time I'd never set foot in any of their grounds again, even the potato dome, and I've yet to break my self imposed boycott, fuck them all, ibrox palace loyal!!!

Tontospal 1,116 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Really? I hate what Scotland as a country and Scottish football has done to Rangers and our fans.I hate it as well but it is partly due to our apathy and complacency. Until we address that nothing will change.We have Scottish Parliamentary elections next year yet despite everything that has happened and all the 'internet outrage' and bumping of gums there will be few candidates, if any, and no parties that represent us and are worthy of our votes.Away from politics we also need representation in the press, media and organisations such as the SFA. It is incredible that it has come to this but despite incidents such as the despicable acts of scum fans at Dingwall we are still seen as big bad Rangers.

carrickblue 322 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I don't believe titles will be affected. But if they do act against us in this way, I would love us to organise a guard of honour for our team as they arrive at an away ground - for our fans to not buy tickets and fill the coffers of our opponents - but to stay outside their ground and applaud our team as they leave again after the match.It'll never happen, the police wouldn't allow it - but it might satisfy people who feel we should boycott away game and those who will still feel that the priority is to show our support for the team.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I honestly think title stripping is off the agenda. The rationale behind it gets thinner everyday and its starting to sound like weans in pram screaming for toy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 TBH I actually think if (and it's a very big if) they stripped our titles then a lot of our fans would boycott.I think title stripping would be the catalyst for a move to England and the fans would be demanding for it to happen.

scottyscott1963 18,494 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Aint going to happen. But will not deter the Rangers haters from trying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm leaning more towards this too but I'm just thinking out loud in case they do attempt it.I think that it is a good idea mate, even if they don't strip titles - especially for those that don't want to travel to anti-Rangers grounds.

dan_ger 1,454 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Why are Rangers fans legitimising others potentially moving to strip us of titles. Stop getting swept up in the hysteria. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all hypothetical and pre-emptive. Are we not allowed to discuss ideas and scenarios on here or something now ffs.I bet on here at the time some people were saying we wouldn't get demoted or newco so no chance of discussing it. The very fact that there's an appetite for title-stripping is enough to merit a debate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now is the time to make it clear to them we won't even entertain this nonsense. All that's happening on here, by going through all the what if's, is feeding that appetite and almost accepting that they're going to try this. It should be dismissed out of hand. The media read these fourms and it feeds them. There are far more real issues like getting promotion and the Ashley situation they affect the clubs well being. Right now we're just dancing to someone else's tune and theyre loving it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic8ball 27,901 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Heard a few media pundits this week decry the talk of boycotts as if it was how dare you rangers fans stay awayIt's a personal choice whether or not you actually leave the house at all on your day off work,never mind attend the ground and pay money to a club that actively tried to harm your clubRangers are not only the most successful club in world football they probably have the biggest away support tooManchester saw quarter of a million travel to the area and I'm sure this is still a record the biggest away support at a champions league game,20k at barca There's been a boycott at ibrox from away fans for years now,I remember most sides filling half the broomloan or a quarter,over the years this has declined only the filth have retained the numbers in attendanceThis has deprived us of revenue so it's a 2 way street Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man In the HAT 34 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 As it is I will never set foot in septic park againIf they go the way of title stripping then that will be for all SPFL grounds.I will buy my season ticket for home gamesI will then get my golf handicap down on away days Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
