Ken Fitlike Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Gate is split 50/50 regardless of how many tickets utd allocate or how many Rangers supporters attend Indeed they are. I am fully aware of that. But are the various fan factions threatening boycotts aware of it - and the fact that they would be denying Sevco Rangers revenue? It could be a landmark game. The last ever cup match played by a club called 'Rangers'. Be a shame to miss it,eh? (unprovoked suggestion that Charlie Green's financial jiggery-pokery will see the current pseudo club follow (follow) their predecessors into oblivion - no 'facts' or 'proof' of course, before you do the demand links and official sources etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 They seem to be fully aware I was reading a few UTD forums last night and they seem to be suggesting that UTD should allocate just the Fairplay stand (1600 seats) to Rangers and that they could easily fill the rest of the ground (we are of course still a big draw ) This of course would mean no real loss of revenue for either team despite any boycott I am sure that many Rangers fans will probably ignore the Boycott and attend anyway, the boycott does just seem to be a suggestion without any club backing and Rangers also have a large number of supporters in the Dundee area That's the way, Tedi. Traynor's going to have competition for the spindoctor PR job, I can see.... Capacity crowd - "It's all about the rangers" Less than capacity - "That's yous Dundee Hibernian bassas boycotted. WWTP!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the first time Rangers will have faced top-flight opposition in this tournament since becoming a Third Division club.

ThirdrockfromtheSon Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 http://www.heraldsco...oycott.19588689 Possibly mentioned before, but how dumb is this attitude? As the clubs split the gate, surely this hurts Sevco Rangers just as much as Dundee United. I assume United will liaise with Ibrox about how much the away allocation should be. United should simply say - 6,000 for you 6.000 for us. Whatever you sell you keep. fifty fifty split principle maintained. Any boycott directly affects Sevco Rangers I'm sure a few neutrals would be willing to fill any vacant home support seats - if only to screw up any boycott blackmail attempt. Good idea, but slightly flawed:someone has to pay the overheads - police, stewards, floodlights, etc etc. A straight 50/50 would instantly give the away team 100% of the income, but how do you then subtract (from them) a share of the overheads? With Rangers' track record, they'd maybe just be away with the money, and not pay their overheads share. Particularly if you've just handed over 6,000 tickets (or whatever amount) and let them get on with their own ticket sales. I think most clubs would do a runner and try to avoid paying a share of the overheads if they could........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Remember last season whe Rangers put a bid worth £2m for David Goodwillie (and Grant Holt) despite knowing full well they didn't have the money..... And yet they feel the need to boycott (which they have been saying every away game at Dundee united) over a matter that happend 3 years ago Shouldn't it be the other way around? It's not as bad as that tear stain rant from the RFFF refusing to pay Dundee United money that Rangers owed them at the time Edited December 4, 2012 by Enrico Annoni 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuoAnLai Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 A year ago would anyone have predicted that any of this could have happened? Rangers liquidated. Zombie Rangers in the 3rd Division. A summer of total farce from the SFA and SPL. Not one person in the SFA or SPL losing their job as a result of the chaos. Still no clarity on the likely structure for Scottish Football. Still no clarity on the actual (multi-millions?) level of investment in Zombie Rangers. Still no decision on whether Rangers broke the rules on dual contracts to players (despite prima facie evidence being available months ago). Still no clarity on the share issue for Zombie Rangers. Still no certainty that Ticketus were ever out of the equation. Still no punishment for the grossly negligent actions of D&P. A real possibility that Zombie Rangers may not have the cash to make it to the end of the season. 4,000 pages of discussion of all of this and more on P&B. Serious question. Will we be here in a year's time with the page count up to 8,000 and none of this resolved? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
