    If you want to ditch an old iconic race… get Monaco in the sea. It’s just a waste of a weekend. Granted most street tracks don’t do it for me but the way the talk it up as something special when it really isn’t just gets on my t!ts

    Follow Follow Rangers. Season 2023/24

    I think there are a few factors as to why fans oppose it.
    Firstly, it is pretty tinpot. I always laughed at EPL teams facing each other in pre-season friendlies. It just seems to diminish any rivalry and moves towards the casual/tourist market.
    Secondly, we would be facing a club that refuses to even type our name in their communications. Fans that demanded an apology from one of their directors for his eulogy about Walter Smith. Some Rangers fans see it as us enabling them to make money on the back of a rivalry they claim they are not part of.
    Thirdly, as Celtic announced it before anyone else did, we're now playing catch up and it's already been billed as Ange's homecoming with us tagging along.
    I think protesting against it is entirely valid as by simply deciding not to attend it does not correct all of the above points.



    Both clubs have a sizeable support in Australia so it makes sense to have a friendly there. Tinpot would be trying to play a league game there like the English league ( and Spanish???)

    You face that club all the time and fans might not like it but you are a package deal (2 cheeks etc) both boards know it and seem to embrace it

    Yeah I’ll give you that one, interesting if ange is gone before the games played.

    I just think protesting about a friendly that your club is making a fair amount of money off is strange… it’s a friendly. Got to agree with Bennet on this one, blown way out of proportion


    I saw that Dave king is willing to pay the penalty clause to pull out of it… really desperate to sell those shares!

    The Macc Lads song about Live Aid. 

    Kevin Bloody Wilson, living next door to Abos. 

    Woke snowflake blah blah. 

    Still singing songs like Don't touch your sister she's mine.... i am not sure Kevin Wilson cares what people think.

     

    can't imagine people like Roy Chubby Brown getting a start in comedy nowadays. I'm not a fan but he was pulling in 1000's for his semi recent tours. Pretty sure he was touring last year as a venue cancelled on him.

    I was considering replacing the gas combi boiler with an electric one, but nothing I've read on here (or anywhere else) recently is suggesting that this would be a cost effective move.

    It also sounds like it is nowhere near as good as a gas combi despite being treble the price.

    They're going up again in October. Already been confirmed. 

    Unfortunately that rise seems likely to be even more than expected.

    your absolutely right.. but let me have a little bit of hope

    I'm relatively lucky in that I got us put on a 5 year fixed deal with isupply (they left the uk market last year and moved us to edf who have to honor the fixed deal) that expires in September. I can only hope that by the time that expires the prices will be heading down... doubt it but its something to hope for.

    The wife has been looking into getting a heat pump but unless the government start doing massive discounts for them (like they have for electric cars) who is going to be able to afford them?
