THE KING Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 By my calculations (based on last years prices and the advertised 1/3 "discount") some season ticekts will be as high as £400. Which is just unbelievable beased on the product. I'm sure there will be plenty of fans ( eedjits ) who'll be happy with that though. And you're right, it doesn't surprise me. is it true sevco are only taking cash for STs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Kelty Hearts eh. Hope they get Talbot in the Scottish next year and we pump them 10-0. In fairness, it's a lad's testimonial, and he must have gone through the roof when the club told him that they'd managed to arrange for fucking Rangers to turn up with their first team for it. The club should certainly have taken the time to figure out why they might have been able to get the mighty Glasgow Rangers to abandon their usual preseasons against Arsenal and Paris St Germain to play against Kelty Hearts, but it's Sevco who are the only baddies here for allowing a small club to spend what is probably a good deal of money in preparation for a fixture they could reasonably have suspected that they couldn't fulfil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hipster Dufus Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Where is Fraser Wishart in all of this? Couldn't keep him off the tranny (oo-er) when Hearts players didn't get their pay packets in time. Or is it the fact that nobody really knows the rights of the players in the middle of this kerfukcle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huistrinho Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 A bit puzzling with Kennedy coming back in - makes a mockery of the nonsense he spouted the last time about how he was only interested to save the club, he had no intention of making money out of it, put it on a secure footing. Well, the future is secure now (apparently), so he is seen for what he really is, a guy wanting to make money off Rangers, I have no problem with anyone getting involved in football to make a bit of money if its available - but why lie with all the future stuff? Come now, there isn't a single poster on this board that believes this, so why would Kennedy? Clearly he's coming back in because he thinks (wisely) that it's not secure and, as you say, he wants to make money off of Rangers in the long run (which is fine). I'm quite sure he'll want to put his Rangers constitution idea back in place: little more than a supporter-friendly way of saying "must be run for profit at all times". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - woops I got it wrong, it's the SFA that is being blamed over the license situation when really the problem is Rangers in this as well.

Or is it the fact that nobody really knows the rights of the players in the middle of this kerfukcle? Wishart said his piece when the majority of them jumped ship. The PFA gave the players quite clear advice that they were free to go. There's no indication that the ones who have stayed are being locked in cages or anything, and there's been no indication of impropriety with the Davis transfer (odd that a free transfer was accompanied by, ummm, money, but not actually bent), so there's nothing for the PFA to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a slight stretch of the truth - it's not like whoever agreed to the fixture at the Kelty Hearts end of things was living in a bubble. If we run with the assumption that Green does actually want to play football next season, then it would have seemed a fair assumption at the point where this fixture was arranged that Sevco would have a license to play football 4 days before the season kick off. As it turns out, the assumption was faulty. However the people from both clubs who arranged the fixture are at fault here. Nobody else, and certainly not the SFA.

BradHorse Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Should the governing bodies really be selling the television rights to watch Rangers in the SFL when we've not even been granted a license yet? Perhaps we weren't the only ones presuming that we'd have a license by now, feel for Kelty Hearts though - hope the game goes ahead at some point and they aren't out of pocket too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyarabnuts Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 There is a maximum of 12 or 13 quid than can be charged in SFL3 so can't see how they'll bypass that there is only a recommended minimum price,£9 in div3,had it confirmed in email from SFL ( see my earlier post) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenolly Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 there is only a recommended minimum price,£9 in div3,had it confirmed in email from SFL ( see my earlier post) Thanks for that, but can you see any team paying SPL or SFL1 prices to watch a 3rd division game, they could only pull 18000 for a cup game against SPL opposition with reduced ticket prices 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Buddie Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 By all means let's just wind the clock back a couple of months and re-introduce Brian Kennedy. Good timing Brian. Talks are ongoingwith a distinct possibility that Rangers will need to accept that the dual contract investigation result will impact adversely on the club and despite the fact that it could spell even more trouble for Rangers, Brian Kennedy, apparently a Hibs fan, wants to take a bigger risk than he was prepared to take first time round. Not only that but the inference is that Green and his cohort are 'not the right people for Rangers' but BK is prepared to take on the club with this merry band of no users (allegedly) remaining as minority shareholders, waiting for their big pay day when Brian pays them back with interest. Seems like this dream team is the answer to all of Scottish football's problems. Jim Traynor seems enthusiastic so it must be nailed on that this will come to fruition and we will all live.....happily....ever....after. Even if it doesn't work out, all is not lost. I'm sure Messrs. Ng and Miller are desperate to come back in again, if they're not beaten to it by the Blue Knights, the German consortium or specially flown in from the Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, Uncle Al, the Kiddies' Pal, (Hello little kids, hello) Bomber Brown. What do you think, Sir Walter ? Sorry ? you'd rather spend more time in the Beechgrove Garden with your friend Jim ? OK, but if you change your mind I'm sure Leggo would smooth the path for your return. If they agree to the transfer ban, and the SFA don't really want to shoot them in the head, what would be an applicable penalty for the dual contracts (and EBTS?), as fines are going to be minimal or, if large, too onerous? Is prevention of promotion an option, i.e. restriction to Div 3 for 2-3 seasons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't accept that it's just Sevco's fault. What planet are the Kelty Hearts' high heid yins on? Sevco have been the subject of the most incredible and well publicised footballing fiasco for months, why get involved with them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Buddie Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Green shirts. Well, suitable strips were discussed here a while back, ranging from orange boiler suits to white strips with convicts-style black arrows or black and white horizontal hoops. Maybe we could add shackles as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Maybe we could add shackles as well. I think Kirk Broadfoot still being there is enough of an encumbrance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 just a thought, but now that things are heading towards some semblance of a conclusion, could the P&B board user rank (the things under your avatar that change depending on number of posts made) which is currently "third division apprentice" be amended to "The Rangers First XI regular", as in footballing terms they'll soon amount to pretty much the same thing ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
