Loved hearing the Rangers TV commentators say that it's the league that matters and they now have Alloa and Peterhead to look forward to.

Oh dear. I think that this is simply indicative of the hostility that we can expect tonight as there is little doubt that we are to blame for the rangers current predicament. The club is as convinced of this as the OP, their ticketing strategy for tonight seems to be to earn enough income from the game to cover costs, and release the vast bulk of tickets as complimentaries. This ensures that they don't have to share any gate receipts with us, and that will properly punish us. Of course, if our small club status and precarious financial situation (after all, we should be out of business already) means that we do suffer, all the better because we deserve it. Of course none of this is accurate or true, and I can see that. If evidence arises that changes the picture, I will make judgements according to the weight of that evidence. But the rangers? they continue to bully, intimidate, manipulate the truth and scapegoat others for a situation that was truly of their own design and which predicated liquidation. That, my friend the OP, is bigotry.

My god get a life and a sense of humour. We will find out tonight who the biggots are with all the vile songs sung by Sevconians!

Thought I would have a look and searched to be sure I had the right address, look what I found :crazy:

Looks like the preview chappie was right. No shock at Ibrox as third division side get pumped by the professionals from the SPL.

Great result but we have to remember they are just a diddy team from the third division

"The only man in Ibrox who saw that as a penalty" :lol: GIRFUY Rangers TV, what a pair of tools.

The most common line on the BBC live text commentary is " (insert player here) is fouled by Ian Black."

Happy Liquidation day Chizzer

I've followed football for a good number of years now and I've come through more than one recession in that time. I dont think it would take too much research to see that in times of recession football crowds go down. I also talk to many people from many areas of the country about this very subject and many do not attend games any more because, to use the words of one person, the game here is run by a duo-dictatorship who have the officials of all the governing bodies in their pockets. Many are sickened by the general product on offer and by the media bias towards Glasgow. Many choose instead to go play a game of golf, a sport that costs a deal more than a season ticket, or watch a different sport. Many people just aren't interested in football so perhaps we have levelled out at what is our realistic share of the population. Looking at the catchment area of our club we have to compete with shinty and rugby both of which are quite well supported. The way to increase attendances is not to cut prices, thats been tried and failed, its to nurture the fans of the future. That is being done but it takes a generation or two to reap the benifits of the current investment. Not only must you get the kids supporting the club but you have to break the bond, brought about by the influx of imigrants from the overspilling city to the west of Stirling, that is Celtic and Rangers. Many people will have many excuses for not attending. Those unemployed and/or on low incomes will always blame cost. Those who can afford the cost will blame the product and those who can afford but cant blame the product will always have a prior engagement. At the end of the day this debate will go on and on.

Just back. Piece of piss.

Some amount of biggots on here.

Now looking forward to beating Celtic in the semi

Sod the cup, on this run of form, we might not be too far off the title!

BOOM BOOM BOOM we're all goin to Hampden!!!!!

i have a feed linked into the ranger tv feed it is so biased commentry but they are not happy so it makes me happy

considering I can't even get a working radio link I doubt it

any reliable viewing streams......

Wow...............any publicity is good publicity, never realised anyone read the articles

Iain, Iain you never noticed the strips????

I have a piccy of the Wickers celebrating his arrival:

"Rangers" don't exist any more, which is pretty nice.

Well maybe you should take a look at them - before you start commenting on the manner in which they are being reported. Because if you had bothered to take a look at the Chairman's Annual Report you would have seen that it is the Chairman himself who raises and highlights the issue that if measures had not been taken to boost the squad beyond what was originally budgeted last season, then the financial situation might have been a whole lot worse in that the club could have been relegated. The quotes on BBC online are directly from the Chairman's annual report - and these are also the quotes used on the back page of the PandJ (30.10.12.) which takes exactly the same line. So if you have an objection to the manner in which the Chairman is presenting the club's losses in the public domain, maybe you should raise that directly with him.... once you get back from Damascus, like I have no issue with the Chairmans Report on the accounts (which I have read) as it clearly states that there's an improvement on the balance sheet....a small but vital detail that is totally overlooked in the BBC Article. Whether that was through ignorance or intent I have no idea....but equally irresponsible either way.

What is a biggot?

Bottom line is that we need more bums on seats, and on Saturday I think anyone could have reasonably expected more to turn up. Smee, the movie analogy doesn't work. Any blockbuster movie (or any globally famous band) has a far greater reach than us, and can set the ticket price knowing that they will get millions buying the product. Comparing a one off ticket price for a concert that would last for an couple of hours to a season or so's worth of football, is curious in its logic. With the greatest of respect to you, for ICT that ain't never going to work. Reduce the prices and the figures just don't stack up. There is a case to say that the match day experience could be better and therefore offer more value, but price deduction, no. There is, by the way, an amazing amount of work going on by the club and others to improve the experience; the football's better, the league is more compeditive, fans are more involved. Maybe you might want to add your ideas.
