WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 A GROUND-BREAKING partnership between Rangers Football Club and Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, is set to bring fans into a whole new era of in-depth, WiFi-based engagement with the club. In a seven-figure investment, the club is working with Huawei to provide one of football's first fully converged stadium-wide WiFi deployments. The market-leading project will ultimately give every fan seated at Ibrox – as well as those in the approaches, concourse, restaurants and corporate areas – full, instant access to content-rich media and allow them to participate in real-time interactions with the club. Starting in August on a stand-by-stand basis, the phased development will allow Rangers to engage with fans and create the best possible matchday experience. The new set-up will remove connectivity problems in high-density areas and ultimately give 50,000+ supporters access to club competitions, merchandising, media, forthcoming events and enhanced fan/club engagement. Stadium WiFi has been under discussion at Rangers for a number of years following fan demand, with supporters wanting to access the full panoply of internet sport while at the ground, but being frustrated by 3G mobile network download speeds. Now, thanks to this partnership with Huawei, the club will create a more meaningful relationship with fans as well as enhancing the matchday experience at Ibrox. seven figure investment eh, thought we pure skint an aww, what's going on? Classy choice of business partners, there - maybe you should do some research behind the pound signs, Tedi, before crowing about this particular link-up.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendarroch Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) I await the BRALT`s secret agent dossier on this latest company to milk the Rangers support. I'm beginning to get a little lazy with this stuff I have to confess. Should any event of any kind happen with Rangers involvement - I fully expect to find all the information you could ever hope to digest on the subject in a matter of minutes from the plumbers, delivery drivers and barmen investment, legal and accountancy experts amongst the Rangers Dolly, wee Hibs and plastic support on BRALT.

This is a real brekthrough. This should enable fans to entertain themselves while the match continues. I just love how such shit is hailed as some sort of coup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Craig Shyte Castle to be repossessed in a few weeks time, I am sure the BRALT could arrange a whip round to keep their hero from becoming homeless. He has a flat in London and a house in Monaco. All the time living the life of Riley while running your club into the ground and still being regarded back then as a saviour by your fellow supporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Whilst I'm delighted we are here - and felt confident enough that was always going to be the case when we played Killie the day after administration - there's no way I would even hint that the last few years have been anything other than a fucking nightmare at times. I'd acknowledge you can argue with a degree of reason from time to time - but, you too, could not deny that so many of the bitterest diddies and plastics were absolutely gutted when our future didn't pan out as promised by Mac Goebbels and his now shamed peers. That's possibly fair comment. I was disappointed that title stripping didn't happen myself, but to see Rangers enter Admin, then get liquidated, then have the re-birth denied top flight, then second flight admission, then labour in the bottom tier has been terrific, and really has been the wet dream you seem to think nobody got. Lots of Rangers loathers never had time for failed social workers, people with made up names, IRA writers or whatever, in the first place. That their agenda driven output proved flawed hasn't really therefore been the disaster for us you'd like to suggest. To claim that the anti-Rangers brigade have lost out in all of this is a bit silly, because it's actually been indescribably wonderful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendarroch Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Rangers died, it doesn't get any better than that Could have chosen this moment - Or even this - But, no, not for this ultimate of tragically sad diddy clubber.

If this really is the stuff of wet-dreams for diddies and plastics - fill your boots and join the rest of tragically sad community - lifetime membership is free. Perhaps in time, you too, could sponsor a furry mascot like dolly or maybe even close a stand or watch your own club do a herz or fife losers shuffle. Rangers having difficulties - more important to the diddies than their own clubs I know - I just hadn't realised how important we were to you. Not that I don't understand the fascination - my own love for Rangers has lasted a life-time to date and hopefully for decades to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I don't understand the fascination - my own love for Rangers has lasted a life-time to date and hopefully for decades to come. I wouldn't say more important, but I make no apology for saying that Rangers' difficulties have indeed been very important to me. You seem to be of the opinion that taking such interest in Rangers flies against having a real affection for my own team. What you fail to grasp, I think genuinely, is that loving your own wee diddy team and despising the OF aren't just positions which arent mutually exclusive - they're actually positively complementary. Explicitly contained within my love of my local team is a conscious rejection of the OF and their questionable appeal. This relationship also works the other way. Obviously, you're perfectly at liberty not to see things my way. It might be worth trying to understand this outlook though, because it's more widespread than I think you appreciate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as short sighted as some on here who only see the damage done to Rangers and I regard Craig Whyte as parasitic in behavour. However, the people running Rangers knew what kind of business man he was and said nothing, allowing him to sell his 'vision' for the club to the support despite all the warning signs right from the start. 'Lets wait and see' should have never been an option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 One man really knew what he was probably all about and this man did not give a fcuk what damage was about to be done, he certainly was not duped. It is genuinely a bit puzzling. I'm sure Murray was backed into such a corner that he'd have sold up to pretty much anyone. Whyte's history was however so transparent and consistent that it's hard to believe that someone with Murray's intelligence and ability to find things out, still went ahead in selling to him. Like you, I don't for a minute think he was 'duped'. I can only guess though that given what he surely knew, Murray was simply crossing his fingers in hoping that Whyte was somehow not planning to f**k over this company like he had all the others. His need to sell must have been simply vast, in order to outstrip the huge concerns he must surely have had about the buyer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Pretty much agree, but lets face it, if Murray loved Rangers as much as he proclaimed then he would have stood his ground with the bank and refused to sell to anyone that could not be trusted implicitly, he took the easy route out to save his own bacon. He should have stayed, which probably meant personal ruin and even this might not have stopped liquidation, at least he would now only be branded an arrogant chunt, but now he is a selfish arrogant chunt. Again, I agree. It's no surprise really that his love for the club wasn't sufficient to have him sink with it though. Murray's posturing had always been arrogant and self-serving. Rangers provided the platform he craved, but he was prepared to jump when that platform got shoogly. As with most super vain people, legacy must matter. However, his skin clearly mattered more. As it is, his legacy remains intact for many Rangers fans in that he 'won' all those trophies and Whyte makes a convenient solo scapegoat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, you're perfectly at liberty not to see things my way. It might be worth trying to understand this outlook though, because it's more widespread than I think you appreciate. Of course I don't see things your way - but understanding the chip-on-shooder outlook has rarely been easier to grasp given the void think on display from the diddy club collective on P&B. I can categorically state - without fear of contradiction from my fellow Rangers supporters - that no other team in Scotland is important to me in any measure comparable to the obsession with my own team. Even my schadenfreude re herz and the fife sads is of the gleeful shrug and smirk variety. Although I could break into a massive grin if one of them fails completely or if more of the integrity warrior clubs implode, too. And your own QOTS? An irrelevance - couldn't give a f**k either way in reality. Much like the people in South Queens town evidently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
