Rangers V Bolton Cancelled


Recommended Posts

Where have I 'slandered' Rangers? All I said was that this is what happens when our club and more importantly, the board, sit back and let everyone take pot-shots at us.

 

Our club is rotten at the top - it is being run by men who don't have the best interests of Rangers Football Club at heart. If that is slander, I hope they sue me...

So, what do you want then? Who do you want to see run the club?

If Rangers do have a contract with the GMP then surely they can take this further? Or at least make GMP explain what has happened in the last 2 weeks to alter their ability to Police this event.

 

I have looked at the web and NO OTHER club in this area are playing that night and there are no concerts, marches, etc on in this area - so why have they changed their minds?

Cammy, which part of the statement did you not read when it was stated "Rangers FC has exhausted the avenues of appeal to open it and have now no alternative but to accept the decision."

 

That to me suggests the club have taken it as far as they possibly can.

 

Rangers are not responsible for GMP's actions so the fact there are no other concerts, matches etc on is a question that should be asked of GMP, not Rangers

This action has NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, to do with Rangers though Cammy - it is the action of a Police Force.

 

Just what are RANGERS supposed to do about this - they have stated that they took it as far as they could in the appeals process.

 

Often I applaud you for some of the things you say regarding the Board - but I simply CANNOT agree with you on this one.

 

Why should the Board be held accountable for the actions of an external party in this type of situation ?

But given that Rangers are the ones who had the contract, they should be asking that question and try to get the fans their money back.

 

However, they will sit back and accept this and we'll be out of pocket AGAIN.

 

As for exhausting all avenues, they should be telling us - THE FANS exactly what they have done - oh what I'd give for us having a PR Department.

 

Now, imagine if this were Craptic - Lawell and their PR would be all over this like a rash - but Rangers? No, we'll accept it and to hell with the fans.

Because they are representing US THE FANS - if you are happy with their actions then fine, but I ain't - and IMO have every right to expect MY CLUB to do everything in its power to help us the fans.

 

Who pays for hotels, buses, trains, flights etc that are already booked? Who pays for those fans who've booked time off work? Who should help us get this back and get an explanation from the Police?

 

If it isn't Rangers, who is it?

Cammy, what money are Rangers going to get back to the fans ? The statement said the fans would be re-imbursed the ticket and booking fees - travel costs etc won't be refunded but I doubt that would ever be the case in an instance like this anyway.

 

Why should they be telling every avenue that they have exhausted ? Surely if the club say they have exhausted every avenue then the support should take that as read - or do they now need to provide lists of what has and has not been done ?

 

Just what would Celtic do to get GMP to reverse their decision ? There is nothing THEY could do either.

 

And what else should Rangers do if they have exhausted all avenues of appeal ? There isn't much that can be done other than accept it, is there ?

Yes they are representing the fans, fair enough. I just don't get how you can expect Rangers to do a lot to get fans their travel expenses reimbursed - they don't have a scooby what fans are travelling and have already met such costs.

 

Rangers have done as much as can be done (if you believe the official statement) to get the match re-instated - I failt to see what more they could do.

 

Regarding who gets the fans time back, their travel costs back, the accomodation costs back - did you utilise Rangers for these expenses ? I doubt it - so if you didn't use Rangers to book such accomodations and travel arrangements then, just like in most other cases, you booked them on your own and therefore your grievance should be with GMP and the grievance should be taken up by each individual themselves, IMO.

We'll just need to agree to disagree on this Craig - I just expect more from Rangers, after all, David Murray tells us we're a family - if so, I'd expect more from my family.

Agreed Cammy - we can amicably agree to disagree !!

 

Now... where is that PM you promised me so I can get the funds to you for the banner ? :thup:

 

I will be home a week on Saturday and can mail when I get home - or do you want it sooner ?
