Jim Leighton Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Has anyone else stopped buying The DR? For the passed few months I havent bought it as it really was getting sickening reading how much drivel was written about rankers. And I have no intention of ever buying it again. The circulations of both the DR and Evening Times in Glasgow will take a hammering not only because of what has happened but also with rankers 2.0 in the 3rd division and very little in the way of exclusive stories and star players coming out of Govan. Many fans of the blue persuasion will see no point in buying it if they are consigned to only 2 pages (I doubt they will ever just be a few sentences at the bottom of a page), and many other fans will still be sickened by the rankers love-in. What are the phone ins on radio going to do without pished rankers fans calling in to moan about something? Will celtic fans pick up the slack? Still reckon that some serious shit is gonna hit the fan this week. Internet has killed a lot of papers: Record circulation: 1980: 732,000 1997: 703,000 2000: 626,000 2005: 503,000 2010: 323,000 2011: 306,000 2012: 291,000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 All clubs in the 3rd are part time and the orc fans will expect full time players,these players will expect at least around 1st division wages because this is a big club with aspirations of SPL footy. In a nutshell ! the newco will in all probability hit the buffers before the season is done. Imagine as a young player being part time at Sevco and working in McDonalds as well. The pish would be ripped out of you soooo much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 If you have to ask, you can't afford it. Aye, but it's not just the price of the ticket it's the cost of the resuscitation afterwards, the palpitation pills, the taxi back home.......it all adds up you know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie guevara Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 But that would cup-tie them from the Ramsdens which reduces their chances of being picked up Run out of greenies, but that deserves one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeTeeJag Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Aye, but it's not just the price of the ticket it's the cost of the resuscitation afterwards, the palpitation pills, the taxi back home.......it all adds up you know.

I don't think they'd get the pish ripped out of them. I think their McDonalds colleagues would go easy on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 SSN news started by saying that Dundee are to replace Oldco Rangers in the SPL,but say they have not formally accepted it yet.....several minutes later they say the chairman has accepted,now they are back to saying they have not formally accepted. It's ok SSN,Jim White can easily make a cock of himself without you having to help him Jim White is desperate, he is the SSN's very own Iraqi Information Minister 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 From a distance, I'm relieved that the door has finally closed on Sevco getting into one of the two top leagues, and now await the football authorities acting on the double contract issue, as well as (if Sevco actually does appear next season) seeing how the cops at division 3 grounds cope with the likely behaviour of their fan base. But a disappointment was seeing Topping being re-elected as non-executive chairman: he is part of the problems we've been facing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still reckon that some serious shit is gonna hit the fan this week. I'm not so sure. The amount of space given to Newco will not be dependent so much on what league they are but how much people want to read stories about them. There'd be a bit less interest in match reports and less exciting transfers but that would have to be balanced by the huge and continuing coverage of the ongoing omnishambles that is Newco. Of course, if Rangers go out of business entirely they'll definitely take a hit (and the tabloids would definitely be concerned about that) but at the moment it'd be minimal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarto Mutiny Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Some idiot Rangers fans says both Celtic & Rangers take 15/20,000 away fans to SPL games Head out the sand please mate That's only about a tenth of what Aberdeen bring to Tannadice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Leitch Loyal Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 How much are the season tickets? Wed, Jun 29, 2012 TweetSEASON TICKET UPDATE The Club is disappointed it has been unable to provide season ticket holders with clarity on the arrangements for season ticket renewals. As you are aware, there is a meeting tomorrow with the SFL board and member clubs to discuss which division Rangers will play in next season.Following that meeting we hope to be in a position to provide greater clarity on season ticket renewals, pricing and payment processes - which will be communicated directly to season ticket holders. The Club would like to thank season ticket holders once again for their patience during this difficult period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
