The Union of Fans Statement

[Hildy 0]

Because in many senses the opposition are really all the same, much like this

 

Maybe that's why you can accept Rangers as it is - because you accept whatever regime comes along like you accept whatever government is elected.

 

Britain is a civilised and mostly enlightened country, and democracy has played a significant role in making it what it is.

 

Rangers is an unenlightened club that thinks it's a business when really it's a social and sporting gathering. It is about as enlightened as a rotten borough.

 

It is in urgent need of reform.

Alright, fair enough. But they could just have issued a pdf with that great line 'Give us the money or the seat gets it!' and some sort of mocked up photo - a bit of humour, mockery and effect.

 

I was just fed up with sententious statements beginning 'we note'.

The tit for tat does become tiresome. Especially when neither party says anything new.

 

Politics indeed.

To a lot of people, it probably is new. This King initiative is receiving blanket coverage in the papers. It will be reaching places that football forums rarely do.

 

If it does nothing else but put people on their guard about the way the club is run, it will have achieved something.

And picking on certain points and make them look more horrendous than they actually are.

 

There's always been a deadline for ST renewals for existing ST holders. If that deadline passes by, the STs might be sold to anyone interested. There is no new or board ultimatum involved.

 

The bad thing is, for all their good intentions, the way certain parties act will sure lead to more strife rather than useful debate and co-operation.

then why did the board feel the need to include it in there statement?

To make sure that no one is in any doubt about the position if they subscribe to Mr King's scheme and do not renew directly with the Club.

Rest assured, if they hadn't, someone would have used that against them as well, "doing stuff behind the supporters' back and all". It is - after all - a statement at the club's HP and one expects all info on there, or at least as much as there is to know. And at ST renewal time, we are bound to hear and read all over the place, time and again.

but der berliner insists everyone knows that and hes right.

 

it was a threat. they seem intent on polarizing the dislike of them.

btw this is quite a change from normal. in the past i have been given an extra two months to get my same seat and several phone calls to confirm that.

 

are they doing this out of spite? or is it a hollow threat?
