Right, got you. Christ, pedantic or what. Okay, so will it be better if I phrased it as "I reckon we will probably turnover about £2M from ticket sales before TV, prize money etc." I wonder if that £3M we would've got for going to Australia would've been free of travel, accommodation, training camp and any other operating costs eh. Yes it was a bit pedantic however no not that it would be beneficial it is very much in my opinion a need. I know if I was making 50k year after tax and yet 20k overdrawn at the end of the year, relying on loans and borrowing from “friends” to break even and I was then offered 3k for 2 days work but had to work with someone I didn’t like my wife would be telling me you better get your fucking fat arse out to work as we need that cash Edited March 31, 2022 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 A quick reminder as a few people seem to have forgotten that any losses are only company losses and have no impact on any club at all. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us not involved in the petty, bigoted, sectarian way of life of Rangers and Celtic fans, we’ve no idea why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said the ticket sales alone for the Braga game were worth more than that would you would recoup for the Syndney Cup which at £48 it wouldn’t be so just trying to understand your numbers. You weren’t the pre 2012 accountant by any chance? And thanks for the generous offer however best going to someone who will appreciate it more than I, I will be watching on the TV however 1 hour ago, DMCs said: You are addicted to days and hours long debates in here.

TheScarf Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Why do the have to be offset against each other? What if the £5 million and the money from the friendly hasn't already been spent? And now the shareholders have to make up the £2-3 million shortfall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One things for sure, if events of 2012 are anything to go by, it won’t be the fans that make up the shortfall. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albus Bulbasaur Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) 14 hours ago, kingjoey said: I’ll tell you why non Rangers fans care about this, it’s hilarious. Rangers arrange a friendly match thousands of miles away from their major fan base to raise vital funds to keep the club ticking over. Blinkered fans get their knickers in a twist and cost the club these couple of million pounds. It’s hilarious. So it's hilarious because you've got a fantasy in your head that we were doing a friendly to keep the lights on. Excuse me for not pishing myself. At least keep it believable like it's funny seeing the fans get wound up and raging **** and u-turns etc..

Yeah I know but that’s not what you originally suggested though what you posted above is a completely different take It seems the organisers aren’t too happy though and refute Rangers claims as to the reasons for their withdrawal citing they have bowed to fan pressure alone which means they are likely to try impose a penalty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are examples of terms coined down the years by others about Celtic & Rangers not terms coined by Celtic & Rangers about themselves. In short, the term 'Old Firm' is ours, the outsiders looking in; and it is what we call you......you (Celtic & Rangers) do not get a say in the matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
