Rumour has reached my ears that Chuck Green is planning to fudge the ticket prices if The Rangers draw a SPL club at home in any cups.
Effectively along the lines of; Home fans buy a match-day programme for £14 and pay £1 at the gate for entry. So the £14 goes directly to club coffers and the £1 gate receipt is split between the clubs 50-50.

Seems he is saying something along the lines of "you didn't want us, you ain't making any money from us"...
Does he have the cajones to carry this out?

It wouldn't surprise me TBH, he seems to be playing to the lowest common denominator. It will all come crashing down, Bill Miller reckoned there was a £30 million black hole WITH spl income. Ok a lot of the high earners are away but the underlying problems are still there.
 
I read that they have sold 33,000 season tickets. Does some of the income from that count as gate money if they allow the ST to be valid for cup games as well.

Besides - haven't TicketUs already bought the season tickets for this and the next couple of years. Doesn't seem right that TU have got nothing for their money and won't get anything back - unless BDO do something drastic around liquidating the oldco. And yet The Rangers go and sell the STs again.

Anyway - Queens Park looking at a bumper pay day when The Rangers come to town. Full house of 52,500 possible when their average home gate is 750. Extra £775,000 in the bank that day. Not bad for an amateur club. What the heck will they do with it?

Pretty sure that cannot happen as the gate prices is agreed between both clubs.

No doubt a FF or RM 'my pal says this is definitely happening' quote.

What happens if no one buys a programme? Expensive gamble.

Think the premise was if you didn't buy the programme you don't get the reduced gate fee.
Dodger, not sure what you are hinting at there, but the guy that passed it on to me at work is a contractor that's colleague is currently working with Sevco on a "rebuilding" programme of work.

Greig it cannot happen trust me.The contractor is speaking pish,either that or Chuck doesn't know the ins and outs which is probably nearer the truth!:lol:
 
Falkirk have suspended their stadium announcer after he referred to them as "the sevco franchise" after receiving many complaints from The Rangers fans??

How on earth did the The Rangers fans who "dont do walking away" hear the announcements at Falkirks ground when they were all inside Ibrox watching their team? Has Scottish football got so humourless and petty that people go out of their way to complain about them being called "the sevco franchise"

And Falkirk F.C, you should be ashamed of yourself for suspending the guy.......wouldnt have anything to do with the fact your playing them this week and your looking to squeeze as much cash out of "the sevco franchise" as possible would it and therefore worried that the petty little tale-tellers might boycott your game.

Hang your heads in shame Falkirk F.C

You could be right there.......He is after all going to be looking for a new job very soon judging by his teams performances and getting the stadium announcer the bullit opens up a vacancy for him

I think Pressley has the right credentials to go far in management. He was also very vocal and outspoken against Rangers being parachuted into the 1st division.

Yep....relegating Falkirk is excellent managerial success in my book, especially after being so vocal and insisting "we will not be relegated while im in charge" or words to that effect.

Great management credentials if you ask me and hopefully he will be there for many years to come seeing as he doing such a great job there

The result .. well in fairness youd kind of expect results like that most weeks in this division ..

interesting stat tho that nearly 2,000 more "fans" watched the rangers game than the total 19 other games in Scotland on saturday .. if they keep winning im sure this will keep up but it will be interesting to see what happens if the results falter ..

Yep truly magnificent result against the team that has finished as the worst team in Scotland 6 times in last 10 years and twice as the second worst team.

Brilliant performance from a club that has a few internationalists in its squad and a couple of players who earn more in a week than East Stirling pay their whole team in a year.

Really well done, I take my hat off to The Rangers for pulling out a performance like that.
 
Falkirk chairmans response to the stadium announcer getting suspended

"I'm afraid what is harmles banter to some is not acceptable to others.

Why did we take action over Saturday's announcement? First, as a member of the SFA we must abide by SFA rules. What was said could land us with a hefty fine. Second, our primary duty at matches is safety. We cannot antagonise a potentially volatile opposing support.

I hope you understand why we had to move swiftly and take appropriate action. I would now like us to focus on our team and what we do on the pitch.

Regards
Martin Ritchie"

Haha, so its OK to refer to The Rangers fans as "potentially volatile" but not to call the club by their (if im not mistaken) registered name?

Good call Mr Ritchie, way to go.
