Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Apparently being sued after deciding not to go ahead with this, anyone know why this isn't happening? https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/4307467/Rangers-sued-ibrox-disaster-tribute-garden-memorial-walls-court/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SonOfLuther 3,400 Posted May 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2019 A spokesman for the club said: "Rangers initially agreed to proceed with this project subject to consultation with key stakeholders. "Both that consultation and Memorial Walls communications during that period, led Rangers to conclude that such a project was inappropriate, would be rejected by supporters and result in commercial disaster. "Rangers therefore advised that it would not proceed and offered to meet the out of pocket costs and expenses of Memorial Walls. "This was rejected by Memorial Walls who have instead appointed solicitors to pursue the Club. Such tactics make it clear Rangers’ decision not to proceed with this outfit on such a delicate project was correct. "Rangers remain happy to meet the genuine costs and expenses of Memorial Walls but Rangers will not enrich those who make threats of going to the press for financial gain." Memorial Walls are clearly chancers. Fuck them. Sparkle, theredhandofNewcastle, Gandalf the Blue and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, don't understand any of it! How could something like that be classed as 'commercial' for it to be a disaster? From what I remember of the pics/plans issued it all seemed ok to me.

OzGers 425 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 So have the plans been shelved? Or we going another contractor? If it’s the former, I don’t recall the club coming out and confirming it?

My immediate gut says the same, and also given that last part: “This was rejected by Memorial Walls who have instead appointed solicitors to pursue the Club. Such tactics make it clear Rangers’ decision not to proceed with this outfit on such a delicate project was correct.” Perhaps we didn’t want to work with this particular supplier. Sound like an absolute shower though pursuing us for monies in court. This court case will probably get more coverage than the mhanks abuse scandal.

Smile 26,602 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 This board has done this now on numerous occasions lets hope they have not signed contracts again or it will be more money lost in court and more damage to the Rangers name.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The use of ‘commercially viable’ probably means costs have significantly changed, either that or they wanted to charge fans to go in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,716 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Which key stakeholders, what consultation, why was it deemed inappropriate and what made them think we'd reject it? Why would any memorial be deemed a commercial venture let alone potential disaster? Many more questions than answers coming from that statement.

DrLaudrup 4,605 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Very odd statement. There is clearly more to this story. To say fans wouldn’t want a memorial doesn’t make sense at all. A clearer more honest statement would likely have cleared this up. Courtyard Bear and Bears r us 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Jim Bear. 27 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 3 hours ago, Junior Soprano said: Why would it be inappropriate to have a memorial garden? Something doesn't sound right here..... is it possible that the decision has been taken on economic grounds ? i.e. The space set aside for the memorial garden would draw more revenue ( in real estate terms) if something else was built there - a car park, or leased to burger vans, or for some other revenue drawing purpose, or even sold. Once it becomes a memorial garden - it is a memorial garden for life. Also, as fan, I don't remember being asked for my opinion... 🙁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
