BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Again on the 'England' idea...think of the interest that would create, 'Scottish' club Rangers are coming to town. TV would be very interested. My understanding is that UEFA will not allow a new "cross-border" situation despite the Welsh clubs in the English set up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 A club the size of Rangers would not survive in the 3rd division!!! The clubs general running costs are far too high compared to the revenue that would be received. Do folk honestly think that 50,000 fans would turnout @ Ibrox every 2nd week to see a match against Montrose, Berwick or Peterhead??? Will sponsors be willing to pump in the same amount that they do without any TV coverage??? It might be possible to mothball Ibrox for a season or two until the League/crowds justified using it again. We could possibly ground share with the likes of St Mirren or what about Hampden, I am sure QP would welcome the extra revenue. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,511 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 My understanding is that UEFA will not allow a new "cross-border" situation despite the Welsh clubs in the English set up. The European court would stifle that problem I would think Brahim. UEFA and FIFA have taken a few hammering's there in the past and as in the Welsh clubs a precedent has already been set. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that sounds quite probable to me but as I have just said on the new thread I can get guidance from this from SD Europe, more anon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
