To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 1 hour ago, EMRFC said: Should boycott the remaining three games. An empty Ibrox would send a message I 'boycotted' the Hearts game i.e. didn't attend in my ST seat or give my ticket to anyone else. I am now thinking about the same for the Killie game, but was previously going to have a bit of an end of season pub crawl to say 'fuck it, but next season we'll be back'. I'm now thinking about not going at all. If the board would like to unveil a new manager at the game I'll be there, otherwise I just don't know. The thing is empty seats won't bother our board if ST's have already been sold and paid for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I seen a comment saying that on the match thread. I switched it off after the third went in so never seen it. Did he vanish about 75-minutes?

G.E.C. 18,746 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 The thing is the players will likely post the usual “disappointed with the result but fans were amazing” Theyll probably see us as complete mugs for still supporting them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never tell anyone what to do, especially as I didn't even bother going today so they deserve to show their support whatever way they feel. Just find it frustrating that we are way too loyal and vocal in our support and should be doing something a bit different just now. I would never give you abuse mate but I do disagree. The one thing that our club needs is the fan base and I fail to see what advantage we would gain by walking out. The reason we are in this position is surely because we were pumped down to the lowest division, had assets stripped and made to start again. The fan base ensured this fight back happened and we are now back in there fighting with the “big boys”. The final part of this ie getting back to the top depends on us getting investment and the best way for this to happen is to have that loyal fan base. We are gettting the shit on our way back up but hey ho that’s what being a loyal fan is and that hopefully is what any potential investor wants. I would hope the board know how much we are hurting but it is all about investment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players don’t deserve any more backing. We had a few spare which we got rid of en route and there was a fair few for sale walking to ground. Boys looking for them too mind.

16BlueSherbert90 19,223 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 It' sad to see that being loyal to this current team, is also our Achilles heel... The board do not care about fighting for our loyalty. We blindly give it anyway because we love what the past gave us before 2012.

Domthenbud 899 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I think what most posters on here forget is that because of what happened 6/7 years ago we have fuck all money, piss poor sponsorship and a MSM who see us as easy prey and are fucking loving it. We are still in deep shit and do not have the resource to purchase or even “get the loan of” players of the calibre of the tims. Now regarding today’s game I believe the effort was there from our players but unfortunately due to, the quality of our players, the way they were set up and instructed to play, a lot of the effort was used up closing down a 10 yd gap. We have many problems at Ibrox, player quality and manager being biggies. We unfortunately will not go from championship winners with championship level players to premiership winners overnight. There unfortunately is a transition period. ESP with our financial status. And it could be said by screwing up what investment money we did have. But I have renewed.

EVERY Chairman knows it, but there's been none like King for abusing our loyalty. We keep about 5 or 6 clubs alive in Scotland with our support, yet we accept the way they treat us and go back to their grounds again with our money. Something has to give, and a halftime walk out today would have sent the message. After the UB's silent protest last week, a halftime walk out would have kept the ball rolling and the pressure on the Board. I feel last week's protest has now been lost among all of today's shite. 16BlueSherbert90 and Escobar 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billym27 315 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Everyone who turned up today deserves so much respect from every Rangers fan. The loyalty shown is unbelievable. Our support is the only good thing about our club right now. We need to make the board aware of how angry we are though...I'm not saying boycott the remaining games but even if it were just one. Nobody turns up and see how the players like that feeling... Just imagine what would be going through their minds if nobody turned up at Ibrox after all the amazing support we've given them. It would also send a message to the board. If we really don't want to boycott a game then we should set up a display. None of this wee shitey display in the broomloan corner but in the Sandy jardine stand so that not only can the TV cameras see it but the players won't be able to ignore it. We need to do something.

esquire8 42,441 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 If this board wants us back onside a bit better then re-embursing all those who turned up today for tickets, travel etc should be standard. They were a credit to the club, unlike what has been witnessed for the past 4 years under this board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StirlingBear72 476 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I'd be pleased if noone showed up for the remaining matches. We're loyal, and follow in huge numbers but that doesn't mean we should stand for this any longer.
