aDONisSheep Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I keep seeing stuff like this. The money is distributed throughout all the clubs it's not like the SPFL board use it to go on a piss-up. All the clubs voted on this as well and I certainly don't remember anyone whining at the time. Now wanting clubs to honour something they democratically agreed to is suddenly puerile or petty? Gimmie a break. Still waiting on Stoney explaining why democracy is "disgusting" or how having less money is beneficial. We only seem to be whining because it's PlasticRangers and some people have got $kerching$ signs in their eyes. Were the play-off between Falkirk and QOTS and they'd come to an agreement to reduce ticket prices to generate interest, I don't think there would be the same ire. The SC final has vastly reduced it's ticket prices in an attempt to generate interest (it may ultimately make more money, but it may make less). I don't remember the outcry at the prospect of the 'family final'. I just feel that if any other club did this, then there would be more cheers than jeers. I'm all for laughing at PlasticRangers (and my god, I've laughed heartily at their denial and 'clumpany' nonsense), but this is not one of those occasions. Fans are going to get to see their teams play an important games for £5. I think that should be applauded even if part of the motivation is 'thumbing their nose' at the SPFL (and other clubs).

Yours aDONis I've made no complaints about charging a fiver. Rather than "laughing at PlasticRangers" in this case I'm pretty much in agreement what Tedi and bennet have posted today. I didn't even moan too much at the idea of letting season ticket holders in for free. It was fans acting all smug about finding duplicitous ways to avoid giving other teams their agreed dues (while making a fortune for themselves) that irritated me. That and the stoned one calling democratically agreed rules disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbhoy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) You didn't work in advertising, you worked in a call centre selling adverts in publications. You also worked off a prepared script. There's no end to your lack of talent is there? No shit Sherlock. As do most newbies before adopting their own style and creative sales pitch. I did really good for a while before the big financial crash in the late 80's with 50% commission on each sale taking home well over £600 most weeks. And my my you really have a stick up your arse wedged in sideways about me don't you ?, and all over the context of a word I posted ffs. How fucking childish can some grown ups be at times. Now I know you are stalking me for bhad glammar errors I will make sure to post as many as possible because I know it bothers the shit right out of you. Have a nice day, moron.

hellbhoy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Are you drawing down on DhenBhoy's apostrophe loan facility? My mistake for using the fucking spellcheck on Firefox. Boffins came up with the squiggly red underscore saying the punctuation was wrong and needed an apostrophe and I just went with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbhoy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 "Here's the reason why the board changed their prices" according to Ragers Medjia. Rangers were also baulking at the prospect of their fans effectively writing a cheque of around £100,000 to Celtic if the SPFL forged ahead with plans to bill Ibrox for season-ticket holders. The Parkhead club, as Premiership champions, will collect 13 per cent of the play-off revenue distributed on a sliding scale to all members by the SPFL, more than any other club. So according to the orcs over there it's about Celtic apparently receiving 13% of the revenue raised from the ticket sales. So they have went from not bothering about paying, to moaning about not letting ST holders in for free, to just let the fans in for nowt and buy an expensive matchday program then was about sticking two fingers up to the associations cashing in to finally it was really Celtic's master plan to profit from Rangers. http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=282762 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbhoy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Exactly, all for show. Yip, mob manipulation at it's finest. A classic stop looking here at us and look over there chaps and take it out on the real enemies of The Rangers trying to rob and steal money from you even though we intend to do the exact same ourselves whilst you are busy elsewhere being fannies. It worked for the board and now have the fans parroting out what they wanted them to believe and practically on their side for now deflecting the fans from asking awkward questions about how the new board intend to finance next years Premiership title assault and Champions League qualification. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbhoy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Going with the play off prices.. The Newcunto F. C. Season Ticket for 2015/16 will be less than a Hunner Pounds. Who do I make my cheque oot tae? Make it out to "Club And Sevco Holdings" or just C.A.S.H. for short and send it to South Africa to the warchest department owned by Dave King. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO any playoff dividend should be split equally between all SPFL clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO any playoff dividend should be split equally between all SPFL clubs. The money should be split between the clubs in the lower divisions only including the amateur leagues to help develop players the Premiership clubs will rob them of eventually. There will be IMO plenty of potential Premiership players in the making in the lower leagues who will benefit from the extra income to blossom into future superstars who will now be robbed of that chance to make it big. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbhoy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Agreed. I don't want those b*****ds to benefit from you b*****ds either. I am actually sickened that my club who doesn't need that money at all will benefit from the play off's. £100K split amongst the current 2nd division will be a massive boost to those clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Sort of agree but the main beneficiaries are those clubs that receive these parachute payments and this to me seems like being rewarded for failure and gaining an instant undeserved advantage over the clubs who are in the lower division. I just do not believe in a parachute payments. As a Rangers fan i am opening myself up to all sorts of abuse here but relegated clubs should be prepared to cut their cloth accordingly. I don't like parachute payments at all, but the reason they became necessary is that such artificial disparity in terms of wealth was created when the top flights broke away, first in England and then here. The clubs that were in such top divisions at the time wanted the rewards up there to be massive, and sod the rest. The shameful one up one down and prohibitive stadium criteria in Scotland were all part of it. The self preservation extended to creating a safety net of sorts for the unlucky clubs who defied the odds by taking a tumble. In a way, it had to if relegation was to be something other than a death sentence. I think that the situation has improved a little since the inception of the SPFL, but there's still a need for there to be less of a cliff face between the top two tiers. That would allow our game to proceed without the essential unfairness of parachutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbhoy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Aye, imagine different pricing for different events. How can we cope? I predict the end of capitalism. Capitalism never ever existed, it's just one of these phrases thrown around like it means something. Making a law so that you can legally rob someone of more of their hard earned cash isn't Capitalism, it's daylight robbery made legal. Capitalism is supposed to be a fair mechanism for all to benefit from, in today's financial climate it appears that only the rich benefit from laws that exclude those on lower income streams so therefore isn't Capitalism but corruption at the highest level to protect the rich and powerful from the poor and needy to keep them rich and powerful. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
