Looking Out For Themselves

Every SPL club had its own agenda
Every SFL club will have its own agenda

In both instances, clubs will be looking after themselves

Only reason a number of SPL clubs voted Rangers out is becasue their fans made it clear they would hit them hard in the pocket if they betrayed.

"One thing the Rangers fans could do, is not attend away games for any club that voted against them joining L1 until they are back in the Premier League, then the clubs will be hit finanacially, as they wouldn't get the gate money from the Rangers fans and they would also miss out on the small crowd from the team who should be there instead."

Any Rangers fna that would think of such a petty boycott is an idiot as far as I am concerned....you are not a Rangers fan as far as I can see, but to me that is a stupid idea.

Rangers are in the situation they are in through their own doing....and 80% of Rangers fans want division 3 with no sanctions.

Going to division 1 would be against what we want, so any club that votes against us going into division one would be voting for what the majority of the fans want, ie no preferential treatment, a fresh start at the bottom and the chance to earn our place in the game again, not given a head start.

Any club that voted for us going into division one shouldnt be boycotted either IMO.....because it would be just sheer pettyness

Rangers hardly have a squad of players at all right now, supporters arent buying season tickets in great numbers and there is nothing but uncertainty hanging over absolutely ever aspect of the club right now

Expecting 10-0 wins.....I'll be happy when I see a Rangers team, on a football park, playing in a league let alone anything else mate....even that cant be expected right now

If we are seriously that short we can have trials at Murray Park if it comes to it just to get squad numbers., folk would be queueing up willing to play for free

We will get a team on the park if we get into the league setup, I have no worries about that...its getting in thats the hurdle here

You might be starting games with 9/10 men depending on susensions, injuries etc..

The transfer ban cannot be upheld now that we have lost so many players , reason they said it would not affacet us was size of squad which is no longer the case

"IF" Rangers get a league placement sorted out before the season starts, then I don't really have any concerns over numbers.
I don't know what the scoop is with the contracts of all the kids we had previously, but we have enough talent amongst the youngsters to make up the squad numbers.
If we're in division 3 also, I'm sure we could have our pick of the better players from the lower 3 divisions for relative peanuts (which unfortunately seems to be the going rate for lower league Scottish players right now...

I know the majority want Div 3 but would he Rangers fans accept Div 1 with no sanctions?

I know precisely why season tickets arent being bought and I agree with it 100%.....boycotting away games was the idea put forward, thats what I disagreed with

As for preferential treatment......mate we have liquidated...coming back in at any stage other than the third division would be a head start for us, thats how it would be seen.

Murray and Whyte handed Celtic their dominaton over Scottish Football for the forseeable future by fcking things right up for us...thats why we are out of the SPL, thats not the SFA/SPL/SFL's fault........Celtic have benfiotted from serious fck ups made by those in charge of us, thats not preferential treatment in any way mate, its the consequences of the only club capable of making a challenge being run extremely badly

Of course we would....but the rest of Scottish Football wouldnt tho, and thats what annoys us too, coz we would get the blame for being put in there wouldnt we, when it wasnt down to us, it wasnt our choice

we are only 1 of a few clubs that will not decide where we play , but we will be the ones blamed if it is the 1st division!

division 3

not even in my thoughts about boycotting SFL away games (if were welcomed in of course)

i would have to seriously consider going to another away game in the SPL however especially if we are railroaded into the 1st division as i suspect will be the likely outcome.

my reason for this, well in the interests of sporting integrity we weren't allowed to transfer oldco SPL share, in the interests of sporting integrity we should not be allowed to join div 1 to mitigate the financial implications of SPL clubs voting against us.

i honestly wouldn't feel right giving those money grabbing bastirts my money any time soon

if the whole system is that fecked then it must be fixed and we must play our part by going to division 3
