CumbernauldGers 0 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I don't see any calls for boycotts - just people saying be careful and make your own decision. So far the vast majority of our current 37000 season ticket holders are doing that until such a time we know what league we're playing in and under what sanctions. That's not idiotic - simply sensible. After that happens, then it will be up to people to decide if they trust Green enough to part with their money. Some will, some won't - that's again perfectly understandable until such time the new ownership can prove their ability to run the club effectively. Not being funny mate but where have you been for the last few weeks, thats exactly what some people are saying. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 95% of Rangers fans aren't stupid. The crux will come when we know where we are playing. You seem be taken up with certain bogeymen, and lay all the blame on them. You should sit in a fair size group of Rangers fans roughly half on the forums and half not and see the differing opinion of Brown. Believe me his rants are being listened to. As for the bogeyman bit they only bogeyman getting portrayed is Green and I think the way he's been treated is terrible. While the guy who just the week before led his Celtic pals to the front of Ibrox then this week a mystery group. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3909 04 0 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 No idea. I don't back Brown and I don't think he many fans that do to be honest. Generally I prefer to see our fans as people who are capable of making up their own minds on subjects. Every person on this forum can determine the pros and cons of the situation so no reason why anyone from elsewhere can't too. You mentioned the RFFF meeting the other night; were you there? Was the view of the committee and the manager that every fan should make their own mind up, or was the sentiment expressed that fans should support and show faith in the club by renewing STs? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,674 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Not being funny mate but where have you been for the last few weeks, thats exactly what some people are saying. Nobody is saying boycotting season tickets. Just not to buy them for the moment. I think that's fair and the manager agrees. Even the chairman seemed sympathetic to a degree. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was there. The message wasn't all that clear which is unfortunate. The manager couldn't endorse renewing. The club board made the point they need season book money but didn't push people to renew either. They can't when people can't even do it anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3909 04 0 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) RST Board Advice to Members Friday, 22 June 2012 11:56 There are a number of major issues facing the club and the support at present, not least of which is the decision on when, if at all, to renew season tickets. Given recent revelations over the failure of season ticket money to be ring-fenced as the Chief Executive Charles Green had indicated, we feel there is no other option open to the support than to delay payment until it is clear that proper corporate banking facilities are in place and supporters cash is protected from liquidators. I'm not aware this policy has been rescinded by the RST. It clearly states fans should delay payment so how can you say there have been no calls for boycotts? Oops, you've just answered above. I think Bomber Brown with his "starve Green out" has called for a boycott though, no?

I sat in a group of around 200 bears at Ibrox the other night - many online fans, many more not probably. I think support for Brown was minimal; though most conceded he had some valid points. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will want people to buy them if JB bid to take over happens (dont laugh) but they have been very clear they want a boycott at the moment, imo thats been very clear. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, there's a difference between vocal boycotts and advice to delay payment for understandable reasons. It's a moot point anyway, even if people wanted to renew they can't currently as club are not accepting them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
