KnightswoodBear Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm hope you're right! I'm just going by what I'm hearing constantly around me. Every Sevco supporter I know who previously held a ST is doing so again - as soon as they are able. Bar none. I also know a few who are planning on buying for the first time. It's not just us diddies getting behind our teams....... I'd suggest the Rangers fans you know are talking shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Remember that approx 20% of their income (should) go as VAT. HMRC should be asking for this upfront due to non payment by dead rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuyahoga Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeah, talk is cheap. 800,000 Celtic "supporters" will tell you they were in Seville. Fair point! Time will tell though.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they not also have to provide a bond to the SFA in case they go bust mid season? Hasnt been mentioned for a while but I'm sure that was discussed weeks ago as part of their SFA membership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Interesting stuff on the club's funding during the season ahead. I know Allan Preston was saying on the radio that Rangers would still be paying more than anyone, bar Celtic, but has that been voiced anywhere else? Similarly, I read claims that Black would be on 10k a week, but is there any real confirmation of this? Obviously, Rangers fans would really struggle with the idea of paying reasonable wages, which is presumably why such stories are left hanging? Do we honestly believe they're planning to pay 20 people 5k a week or thereabouts over the next two seasons though? It would surely be suicidal. I can't see them shifting more than 20,000 seaon tickets myself, but I'll admit that's a guess. It's as good as anyone's banking on 40,000 though, I'd have thought. One last thing. I've read here about running of Ibrox and Murray Park amounting to £1m a month. I know nothing of such matters, but seriously, how so? They 'own' the properties outright, don't they? I can't begin to imagine why it would be so dear. Genuinely, could someone enlighten me as to why such costs sound plausible? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Livi were only asked for one to avoid div 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Fitlike Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 One of the current (currant!) pleasures is when any blue-noses start talking about their team is to enquire if they are speaking about Oldco or Newco, and then to continue rubbing it in by references to Servco, Club 12, The Rangers FC etc etc. This induces what I believe Pand B regulars call 'Seethe'. Oh such fun. My personal preference is to do the finger quote stylee thing...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTaxMan Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeah, talk is cheap. 800,000 Celtic "supporters" will tell you they were in Seville. Must be 800,001 of us then cos I wisnae there.

cuyahoga Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'd suggest the Rangers fans you know are talking shite. Can't deny that - they usually do on a variety of subjects! What's your view KB? Are you renewing/buying? Do you not think there will be a strong demand because if only 20k STs are sold then they'll be in the shit again? (Or is this the objective - to force another collapse to allow a new bidder again?) I still think there will be a strong demand - but that's only me as an outsider who's knows about a dozen or so Rangers fans. Genuinely interested in your view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelkirkSaint Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 No, Livi were only asked for one to avoid div 3. Thanks. Must have been mentioned as a possible condition. Though thinking about it, I reckon they should provide a bond because I'm not convinced they can last a full season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though thinking about it, I reckon they should provide a bond because I'm not convinced they can last a full season. From my memory of the Livi situation, the authorities don't really give a shit whether the div 3 clubs lose money or not out of a team folding mid-season, could be doing the authorities a disservice, but, I don't think I am.

killingfloorman Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 As Pozbaird is fond of pointing out on the thread: 'tick-tock'. It's getting to what ol' purple nose calls squeaky bum time, especially for Green and the SFA. Who will blink/crap themselves first? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I say Sevco without even thinking about it now. I've had so many opportunities to use it online and in person I say/type it automatically.
