Absolutely despise Rangers and everything about them… Completely agree. The money from this will be huge for us, but I hate the thought of going to Ibrox and listening to all their shite for a couple hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's not about spunking money on the playing budget but getting the right man in at the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Don’t see how this makes any difference to the manager appointment? It’s a lot of money aye but if Bowyer for example is wanting a much larger wage, coaches and huge transfer budget you can’t be caving to that just because you got a windfall in the cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grazza Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 11 minutes ago, GuyIncognito said: Rangers had 45,000 at their game v Partick at this stage last season. Home team gets to keep some gate money to cover for stewarding costs which is usually about 1/8th of gate income and then the rest is split. Assuming £25 per head then 45k x 25 = £1.125 million. 1/8th deducted for stewarding = £140625. Leaves £984,375 to be split evenly, leaves us with about £492,000. £25 per head is quite an optimistic estimate but even then it shows how much this game could be worth to us financially. Fingers crossed Smith can put the money to good use! Maybe not a term they like at Ibrox but we will have VAT to come off that. Yikes is stewarding really that much per game. To be fair don't grudge them that having to put up that mob and their outdated nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a significant chunk of money for us though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nickydevlin Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 My hatred for the rangers is up with my hatred of them up the road. A horrible club with unsufferable fans they are the worst supporters in history .it won't stop me from going though .can you just imagine the feeling to beat them on there own pitch . 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrAtlanta Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 When Partick played Rangers at Ibrox in last years cup, the tickets were priced at £22 so I’d imagine they’ll be the same. There hasn’t been a higher concentration of scumbag mutant c***s in one building than Ibrox since the Nuremburg trials. I can understand folk not wanting to go as there’s so many stories over the years of folk being hit by stuff and drenched in (probably infected) pish. I’d still love to see us take 2000 though but I don’t think we will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed Smith can put the money to good use! We will get 71,250 for exiting the cup.and being on TV. Then gate receipts are split as you say but it's 60/40 in favour of the home team. Tickets probably £20 for adults and something like £15 for concessions so call it £17.50 - 875,000. So our 40% is about £306,250 after the stewarding and £71,250 from the SFA for prize/TV money. Coming off of that you have VAT to come off x2 because the money comes from two sources (leaves £255,208.33 & £59,375.00) and VAR to be paid for at £4,500 Leaves you with basically £310,000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - Sir Alan Forrest and it was snowing. I did go up to Ibrox about five years ago and I recall Bobby Madden not giving us a penalty when Forrest was fouled. We only lost 3-0 I think. It was quite a hostile atmosphere and penned into a corner with their lot throwing stuff from above. I remember a particularly red faced spectacled man who I thought might have a coronary. He spent the whole match working himself into a real seethe and shouting abuse at us. He wasn't even watching the game. Bizarre behaviour.

If it wasn't gonna be a TV game I'd drag myself along but since I can still watch it without breathing the same air as fascists it is an easy choice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
