sneeuq Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thought Queens played well, and that i still had hope till the 86th min says a lot. Didn’t look like a prem vs 1st div outfit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Genuine question: What's the distinction here and why are you making it? It looks like you're suggesting the cheque might therefore be smaller than anticipated.The only thing I could think is if Rangers ST include LC games. I didn't think they would mind you. Or Rangers maybe gave out a lot of free tickets? Thought Queens played well, and that i still had hope till the 86th min says a lot. Didn’t look like a prem vs 1st div outfit. I have to admit my hope of an equaliser went once Connelly was subbed. Then to bring on young Johnstone I found very bizarre. The boy hasn't played a minute for us so it was strange to see him come on in such a game. I'd like to say it was a "go and experience Ibrox" but then he'd surely have put his boy on. Maybe overthinking it but I took it as a message to the BoD that we need another CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like more than 60% full to me but perhaps I'm just a poor judge of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is just put out there as a wee teaser by SD - the ticket sales could have been either higher or lower (he doesn't say which). Because of the club role he has at Queens, SD clearly knows the distinction in detail but is just teasing the readership here. He could have just made it clear from the outset - but then again such details may have some commercial confidentiality implications and so he possibly feels he can only provide a hint. Time will tell if he chooses to explain further or not. I think the expression I was looking for was "being abstruse" - ie describing things that are not easily accessible to the lay reader or average person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, sounds as though we performed quite well and I've now seen the chip from Connelly which was sublime even if something of a gift from Sakala - regardless, the goal was not a "given" it took a moment of magic from Connelly to make it happen and left McGregor helpless. I don't think we should get carried away though, this was not a "premier outfit" we were playing as the full Ibrox side that takes the field on Saturday in the OF derby would have hammered us last night. GVB understandably took the opportunity to try out some promising youngsters. But I'll take the positives: the cash, the fact that the team's confidence won't have been destroyed ahead of the important league game next Saturday, and maybe it will be a step along the path to help Gibson settle on a decent back line. Job done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not obliged to turn up though. I'd expect the accounted for gate to be higher than the attendance. The figure issued was definitely the physical attendance. 3 hours ago, kingjoey said: In the league cup, the crowd given out is also the ticket sales. No, it isn't.

There's no secret about the CCS Rangers use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GVB understandably took the opportunity to try out some promising youngsters. It was very much a B side from Rangers last night. I don't expect many of that side to start on Saturday but it was also not without plenty of quality. Six of them played in the Europa League Cup Final in May (McGregor, Jack, Davis, Kamara, Arfield & Sakala) and Yilmaz cost them almost £3.5m in the summer. Rabbi Matondo is a Welsh international too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does all that mean the figure we effectively get a cut of, will be greater than the published 30,000? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
