    17000 approx. ST sold. That means it's less than 17K. How many are concessions ? How many are on pay up option? Can see first home game having less than 20000 attendance if it ain't Hibs or Jambos.

    This will be more readable for those having problems with the image. "We are extremely concerned that there are now two distinctly different messages being sent out from Ibrox, which appear to be completely at odds with each other regarding our club’s finances. They show the split in the boardroom and raise the question as to who is running Rangers. On the one hand, Graham Wallace has clearly stated that there is no financial crisis, while on the other hand a former PR man for Rangers and Sandy Easdale is briefing that there is a cash crisis which can only be resolved by an urgent share issue. We are aware that the press and certain bloggers are being briefed by Jack Irvine of Mediahouse regarding the reason for, and content of, Rangers board and investor meetings. We would ask two questions. On whose behalf is he making these briefings and how he is privy to the highly confidential and price sensitive information being discussed in these meetings? Mr Irvine was previously employed by both Rangers and the Easdale brothers. We were informed by Mr Wallace in our meeting with him that Irvine no longer works for the club. In the same meeting, Mr Easdale denied that Mr Irvine has ever worked for him during the Easdale’s time at Rangers. Events would appear to prove this to be untrue for, unless he has taken up charity work, someone appears to be paying Mr Irvine to leak stories about Rangers board meetings. We would ask that Graham Wallace fulfils his legal and corporate responsibility to identify the source of the leak and remove them from either the PLC or club board, as necessary, as a matter of urgency. Mr Wallace has stated twice, both in our meeting with him and more recently at the NARSA convention, that the club is on a secure footing. He stated that there is “absolutely no prospect of administration” and that the club “is in its healthiest state financially” since he arrived. Why then are board meetings taking place for an emergency share issue? Why has the club had to take loans just to finish the season? Why have these loans not been repaid despite season ticket sales which we believe to be around 16k and which would surely have raised the £1.5m required to immediately repay the loans? The message sent out by Mr Wallace appears to be at odds with that of Sandy Easdale, who has claimed that club finances were “fragile”, and Mr Irvine, who is briefing on behalf of someone that emergency cash must be raised. Who are the Rangers fans to believe? Who wields the real power in the boardroom? If it is Mr Easdale then who is he taking his instructions from given his refusal to name the people behind Blue Pitch and Margarita, whom he represents? If the board are indeed considering such a move, then will the shares be offered to all shareholders or just those represented by the current board? Also why are they so reluctant, if finance is required, to speak to investors who actually care about the long term future of the club? We have asked for Graham Wallace to come clean about the cash situation at Rangers and we repeat that request. Mr Wallace must make a statement to clarify his position and to explain the leaks of the last few days. The appearance is that Mr Wallace’s authority is being undermined from within. His long term, professional reputation for corporate responsibility is being eroded and the corporate governance of the club’s various boards is once again a shambles. The bottom line is very simply the question of who is running Rangers. Is it extremely well paid chief executive, Graham Wallace, or Sandy Easdale, a man who, for whatever reason, is not even a member of the plc board?"

    I assume everyone will be signing up, seems only fair.

    GRAHAM WALLACE believes Rangers are now moving closer to the successful establishment of their first fan board as the club activates in its biggest supporter engagement initiative. The Ibrox chief executive will tonight return to the UK from Toronto, where he has spent a couple of days talking to Light Blues followers at the 2014 NARSA convention. More than 1,000 of them have been in attendance and Wallace feels it has been important to reach out to them as he seeks to build bridges and create a better, sustainable future at Gers. He addressed around 900 attendees at the gathering’s Grand Banquet yesterday and hopes his visit there can help develop a stronger relationship going forward. Wallace said: “We have recognised right from day one we had a big job to do in terms of trying to improve engagement with the club’s fans. “Several months ago we launched our Ready To Listen fan engagement survey and that was really just the first step. “We’ve now gone through another two subsequent steps in terms of narrowing down areas of interest to the fans so we can fully understand what matters to them. “We are currently moving into the third phase which is a set of detailed focus groups that involve people sitting round the table and looking at specific issues. “It’s all designed to move us forward to the creation of our first Rangers fan board, which will be an official board that will act as the body to represent the fans with the club. “We’re looking at the constitution and composition of that because we want to get a wide spread of Rangers fans engaged in talking to the club. “Like anything else, these things take time to work their way through and particularly at a level where what we’re dealing with is not just a simple scenario. “There are many issues dear to Rangers fans’ hearts. We’re trying to engage with them in a way they’ll say they can see progress and I think we have made a number of steps forward.” http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headli...edging-closer? There must be fans who actually swallow this bullshit.

    Relax everyone, when we get back to top division we the fans can give them more money.
  6. BEARGER
    Whit:rolleyes: What is the point of this?

    You're not too lucky when buying tops are you?
  8. BEARGER
    We would need to win it first and with McCoist's record in cup games it's highly unlikely.
  9. BEARGER
    Of course if they can they should publish. But I did say in my post that they may be adding 2+2, it ain't rocket science.
  10. BEARGER
    The "same old" comment was with regard to the two examples I gave, 1. RST. 2. Your comments about SOS. But I think you know that. I am in favour of fans ownership.
  11. BEARGER
    More of the same old from the OP including a wee dig at the RST. Why would SOS be worried about Ibrox & Auchenhowie? Could be that they know the incompetents are running out of sources for cash and adding 2+2, it ain't rocket science.
  12. BEARGER
    I do not know of one fan who has stopped attending games due to vicious/ill informed/ stupid/ statements on social media.
  13. BEARGER
    What a crock of shit this is IMO. Who are these self appointed guardians of social media behaviour for Rangers fans? A " code of conduct" what nonsense, how would it be implemented? Who would be the judge if the "code of conduct" was broken? What would the punishment be? FF the biggest Rangers Internet forum have obviously decide not to participate. The main group who regularly smear other fans groups do not turn up, no surprise there. Let's be honest there are two groups that constantly attack the other groups and they will continue to do so no matter what. Simple solution if they annoy you is don't go on that forum and block the other on Twitter. This project is a diversion from more important matters we should be putting our time and resources into.

    Aye the queues have been round the stadium for the last week with ticket office open to 8pm each night.

    Due to a technical issue, the email the Club issued yesterday inviting you to attend focus groups for the Ready To Listen initiative, may have resulted in undeliverable or “bounce back” replies. While every effort is being made to resolve the issue, we recommend that if you experienced difficulties, please reply to readytolisten@rangers.co.uk directly to declare your interest in participating in one of the Ready To Listen focus groups. The content of the initial email has been included below for your reference as a reminder of the dates and groups available. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

More than half the respondents from the initial survey said they would participate in further supporter engagement initiatives to help shape the Club’s Ready To Listen campaign and these focus groups will now be facilitated at Ibrox with fans who had expressed a wish to continue their involvement. The first set of focus groups will take place on Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11 June in the Blue Room at Ibrox Stadium. These focus groups will concentrate on Fan Engagement with 4 groups being held across two days and should last no longer than 1½ hours. A representative sample of Rangers fans will be included in each group to share their individual views and will be invited to participate on a first come first served basis. The sessions will be managed by an independent researcher. If you would like to take part, please reply to this email stating your name, contact telephone number and which day and group you would like to attend from the following: Day 1: Tuesday 10 June • Group 1: 6pm • Group 2: 8pm Day 2: Wednesday 11 June • Group 1: 6pm • Group 2: 8pm Please reply no later than Friday 30 May to confirm your attendance.

    More truly awful football against some better and more fitter teams than previous seasons.

    It has been reported on many occasions and different sources that McCoist is on a one year following contract. That being the case it means he starts a new year every day. So they could give him a years notice and save on pay off, but that is very doubtful. If sacked he is due whatever the small print in his contract says, as it's a rolling year contract I would think he will be due one years money.
  22. BEARGER
    That would not be a "rolling contract". He would be due a years salary if sacked.
  23. BEARGER
    MailSport understands the wealthy businessman has been waiting more than a week for a response from chief executive Graham Wallace to an email questioning how many tickets HAD been sold.
  24. BEARGER
    Why do you continually to spout disingenuous bile on these threads? You are a Rangers fan and you don't know the difference between the Hampden march and today?
  25. BEARGER
    SOS only has two "members", turn out was exceptional at such short notice.
