cimex Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Quick question for those better informed of these things than I. Is the newco/sevco/fourth lanark still trading from the oldco website and are all the sponsors/trading partners whose logos are displayed on there transferring their support to newco? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbhoy Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) It costs the tax payer around £30 million a game to clean up the mess from the OF fallout after the ninety minutes are up and not including if they had met in the 2 cup competitions as well adding another £60 million on top of the costs.That's up to £180 million just so the sectarian bigots can have 6 OF games a year FFS. This is a no brainer here for the Scottish government to step in and sponsor or co-sponsor the SPL to have at least a 16 team SPL set up with only 1 home and away match. Say the government offers £20 million a year to sponsor/co-sponsor the SPL in a 16 team format this would save the government £100 million a year in policing,A&E hospital bills and court costs and many more things like many a wifie and kids getting 2 less beatings a year. If the SFA & SPL could only see this a an opportunity to cut down on the violence that 4 OF games cause whilst actually getting more sponsorship funds to help promote our leagues as well as getting a much needed cash injection into our game improving the status of the league. Seriously you can't argue with that logic should the newco make it to the SPL again.Helps the Scottish government save £100 million a year in spending to police and repair damage caused by OF games as well as give the Scottish game £20 million over and above the current money they have.It's a win win situation there.

The small print on the website states: "The Rangers Football Club, a trading name of Sevco Scotland Limited (No SC425159) Ibrox Stadium, 150 Edmiston Drive, Glasgow G51 2XD" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Some in Fife on the Kelty debacle concluding the Newco have been disrepectful etc. I noticed the 10% donation the player was making was to the RFF as opposed to Mr Greens club. Surely thats a bit disrepectful. Edited July 23, 2012 by superbigal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Leitch Loyal Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Well, suitable strips were discussed here a while back, ranging from orange boiler suits Please, Clapton, no. Can you imagine the Orcs in their replica outfits? It would be like a horrendous Slipknot concert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 does anyone think that in years to come we'll all be talking about Rangers in the same context as Queens Park ?! You know, they used to win lots of trophies and play in front of big crowds but all that's left is a Club floundering in the lower reaches of the league in front of a few hundred people rattling around inside a big stadium ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbhoy Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 No it doesn't. OK then how much does it cost to police a game and clean up after the game to the tax payer ? . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Even if it doesn't work out, all is not lost. I'm sure Messrs. Ng and Miller are desperate to come back in again, if they're not beaten to it by the Blue Knights, the German consortium or specially flown in from the Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, Uncle Al, the Kiddies' Pal, (Hello little kids, hello) Bomber Brown. What do you think, Sir Walter ? Sorry ? you'd rather spend more time in the Beechgrove Garden with your friend Jim ? OK, but if you change your mind I'm sure Leggo would smooth the path for your return. You missed out Tristan Loughrey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunfellaff Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Well, suitable strips were discussed here a while back, ranging from orange boiler suits to white strips with convicts-style black arrows or black and white horizontal hoops. Maybe we could add shackles as well. Nah, let them keep playing in the same colour as the Republic of Irelands original strip......Blue is the official colour of St. Paddy after all It costs the tax payer around £30 million a game to clean up the mess from the OF fallout after the ninety minutes are up and not including if they had met in the 2 cup competitions as well adding another £60 million on top of the costs.That's up to £180 million just so the sectarian bigots can have 6 OF games a year FFS.

Edited to amend costings Dose of bollox fae the pigs imo, apart from o/t, they would still be getting paid, as the doc's etc in A+E. Plus bams that would get involved with trouble will do so regardless of an OF game. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) OK then how much does it cost to police a game and clean up after the game to the tax payer ? . Well last season was put at £40M - the figure is in the article you yourself quoted - meaning £6M or so a game (although I'd be interested in the breakdown even of that).

From the Orcs ofeshul site: How come their "females" are allowed to play in front of spectators and their males are not? Surely membership of the SFA is required for both? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
