bennett Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 reason for asking is.im pretty sure that when the land was sold/gifted or what ever.it was stipulated that any future buyer must use the land solely for sporting activities.a bit like st johnstones deal with the farmer who gave them the land.so if true houses couldn't be built on the land.might be wrong though.any body confirm ? The board have 'claimed' that they won't sell Ibrox, that it's safe but have always refused to say the same for the training ground which is why a lot of people are wary about their intentions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 You are half right. In terms of financial incompetence we deserve all the pelters we have had, I haven't an issue with that. I have said it before: this thread has been a real testament to how fans of other clubs view Rangers and it is one reason I love P&B rather than single-team forums. You missed the second good point of The Big Thread., though. It serves as a cathartic vehicle for the Plastics and Diddies. This has been spleen-venting central. In sum I love The Big Thread and am amused each day about how posting about Rangers make folk feel important. I too, love the BRALT. Making this post does not make feel 'important'. Reading other posts makes me and occasionally and sometimes even . In fact I feel a big coming on soon. I sense resentment, 'cos you can't join in, given your choice of football entity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unheard of for property developers to have land protection rights overturned / Local Plans amended / large amounts of Section 75 money promised etc. So if the Murray Park facility was originally given the green light with the caveat that no residential / commercial development would be allowed, a developer would always commence discussions with a Local Authority and the local community regarding a change of use application prior to taking matters further. Happens all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Would the SFA want it as a permanent base for Scottish representative teams of whatever level? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Also hearing Black to Forrest for 500k Are you talking about Ian Black here ? If this is true, someone has completely lost the plot in Nottingham. However, it could be a godsend for local hacks - 'Black Forest Gateau' would be a terrific headline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Would the SFA want it as a permanent base for Scottish representative teams of whatever level? The SFA are completely corrupt and will do anything to assist Sevco, so the short answer is 'Yes', so long as Campbell Ogilvie has his snout in the trough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The Queen of the South fans were all raving about him on Saturday, they seem to think he changed the game. He usually does, either by getting himself sent off or by crippling an opponent. He's a dirty, sleekit wee basturt of a player and wouldn't mind seeing someone give the fecker a dose of his own medicine. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Interesting? Why would you find some celticminded website interesting? If Rangers avoid admin (i've a feeling we may see the stadium/training ground sold and we may limp on for another year or so) and if Ally can stop being so bloody stupid with his team selections then i see no reason why we can't win the league. When Hearts recently got humped in a cup game it showed just how shallow their squad is, suspensions/injuries will hurt them more than us. Hibs don't appear to be at the races but it's still early doors ..... Falkirk, RR, QotS probably won't last the distance but could throw some spanners into the works. I said "interesting" as opposed to "spot on", "unbiased" or "well informed" because I thought the articles were interesting. Rangers appear to be the main obstacle between Hearts and automatic promotion so what's going on there is now interest in the same way that I now really don't give a toss what's happening to Kilmarnock, St Mirren, Partick or that other one In a story full of smoke and mirrors, as this one is, one can either throw up your hands and assume that there's no way to find out what's really going on or you can read critically, try to adjust for bias and agendas and form some coherent picture of what's going. FWIW I regard your post as "interesting" as well. While the oldco/newco business in the article is pretty tiresome most of my post was addressing the difference between a 15 and 25 point deduction, either of which Rangers could have carried and still one league one and neither of which (IMO) would allow them to carry the Championship. By discussing that I am by definition hypothesising about the situation where Rangers do go into Administration. It seems clear that situation is somewhere between inevitable (as Mr Forrest maintains) or a real possibility (as you seem to think). Whereabouts on that range the real likelihood lies is something I don't really feel qualified to judge as I've been distracted by the more important financial complications in Gorgie/Lithuania but I'm trying to get up to speed. So apologies if this is a silly question here but does anybody have a security over the stadium or training ground? In my experience of administration that kind of thing can be quite important. As for there being no reason why they shouldn't win the championship it would be a fainthearted supporter indeed who gave up hope of overturning a 3 point gap over 33 remaining games. But Even while Rangers remain favourites (8/11 on at Coral) they're not the hot favourites they were even in June (4/9 William Hills) never mind the racing certainties for 3 consecutive promotions they were assumed to be at the start of the "journey". The risk of not actually getting the swift return that the business plan would have been based on is now a lot realer and given the tightrope that they're walking already it's a wobble that they don't need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
