blueone Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 FWIW I am firmly in agreement with the Rangers fans on this a Season ticket should cover every home match in a league season. Season Books are for League games. Everything else should be discounted for book holders but isn't. Fairly sure our season tickets have always included any play off games since they started. Play off games are viewed as an extension to the league season. We have a separate "League and Cup" season ticket which costs more but is a gamble depending on cup draws although still includes play offs. Didn't know there was any rules on it but maybe it's to do with this splitting of gate receipts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 For someone as pedantic about language as you are, I fail to see what the issue is here. Can you tell the difference betweeen the following statements? "Every home league match in the season" and "every home match in a league season". I would suggest that keep away from the gin. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope because I know that football seasons don't start and stop with league competitions. A wee bit of Mother's Ruin won't improve your brain but may keep you away from the keyboard for a wee while.

Sorry maybe I should have been more specific for those who cannot think for themselves. For me a league season covers the league competition from start to finish. That's the Scottish Professional Football League in the case of Rangers. The play offs, to my mind, are part of this competition. They are not, as far as I can see, a separate competition like, for example, the League cup which is run by the same league as a separate stand alone competition. A play off isn't part of the league season. So which season is it a part of then? Come on guys. Be reasonable. I am all for kicking Rangers when and wherever possible but within reason. If ICT were to find themselves in a play off position I would expect that the home matches would be included in my book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_p Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I always thought this was really quite simple. You qualify for the play offs based on where you FINISH in the league. So the play off games take place AFTER the league has FINISHED. How anyone can view that as part of the league campaign is beyond me. In the league you play a set number of games against teams in the SAME league. The purpose is to try and win the league or FINISH in a play off place. If the play offs are part of the legue how is it possible to play a team from a different league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonsanorak Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 What are hibs and hearts saying now having asked to change the 50% to 25%? I wonder if they weren't considering letting their fans in for free and made this offer as a compromise, that the clubs would be tied to? As much as this might help rangers fans attend the matches, it wont help the 41 other teams in the leagues who should recieve their cut as agreed. It might not be a huge sum, but its a big payment in dumbartons finances and other teams of our size. When are the rangers season tickets out and how much is a playoff ticket? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that a set of games which ultimately decide which league your club plays in the following season could easily be thought of as part of a league campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 1. Allowing fans into these games for free seems like a Thank You to them for their support. Which you have to give credit for. 2. Attempting to minimise payments to the SPFL seems like a GIRFUY. 3. Depriving the rangers international of this income seems a bit daft - unless upcoming bills won't be getting paid anyway. 4. It appears Hibs requested the opportunity to do this last year. It is alleged the rangers are just going to do it, and fúck what anybody else says. Some clarity would be nice. 5. Surely, if you're spending hundreds on a ST, you'd expect to be told exactly what you'll be getting for your money? The play-offs were at least a possibility at the start of the season, surely - unless they all actually believed Sally had a master-plan... 6. I just hope we don't end up going to fúcking ibrox again - I still have nightmares about that performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it ties in with the general theme of this thread, in all honesty. Why would a business which is desperate for cash-flow start giving its product away for free just before income dries up entirely for a couple of months? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the SPFL website they play offs are part of the competition.ETA they do not play a team from a different league it is the same league, different division. Note that the bottom tier does not mention the play offs with the HFL and Southern league clubs. That would be a different league.
