Indicator Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) If you're taking about the Scotland v Georgia game, Hampden can't be used as they're still changing it from athletics venue to football venue. The SFA have allocated upcoming games between Ibrox and Parkhead, not sure how anyone can have a serious problem with that (other than giving Ireland a "next-best-thing-to-a-home" game at Parkhead). Well here's what I've got against it. Other football associations spread their games around fottball stadiums within the country. Ours simply moves between stadiums in the same city. What's wrong with Easter Road, Pittodrie or Tynecastle. They've all got decent capacity. Maybe I'm just nit-picking but it does annoy me. But hey! no, let's keep the money on the west coast.

It's a fair point but, as Duncan08 has mentioned, the only larger capacity grounds are in Glasgow (other than Murrayfield) and these qualifiers will be major draws. Especially games v Germany, Ireland, Poland. I do agree with you though. Even the >21's, etc. get played at grounds with a west coast-bias. Love Street (or it's modern equivalent) being a favourite of them, yet Paisley is shite to get to outwith Clydeside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they not have an under 21s game in Dundee that United managed to totally balls up? The Scotland B team certainly had a few games played about so I don't see why the Under 21s don't have games spread furhter round the country.

Kyle Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Imran Ahmad has won his case. Rangers have £1.2 million left in the bank, of which £620,000 has been arrested. Considering they still have sizeable loans way over that value outstanding, I think the shit may be about to hit the fan again. fazman1977, john.w, sixties saintee and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevensan Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I wonder what assurances the SFA sought that trfc would see out the season? It would have been nothing short of gross incompetence not to ask (stop sniggering at the back!) We've all known for the last 2 1/2 years that admin was a racing certainty.

stevensan Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 So. Season ticket money spent. Check. Sponsors pre paid for whole season. Check. Image rights and merchandise owned by another party. Check. Non football properties used as security for friendly shareholders. Check. £600k left in bank. Just the big house left to tie up and the spivs can ride out of town with their loot... I would feel sympathy for the rangers fans if it hadn't all been so obvious from day one.

HOODLUM65 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Who was it that said for every £250,000 that the the rangers spend, I will pay £1? Oh wait a minute this seems to fly in the face of comments made by a previous owner of the club. They have had more owners than Managers.

ancientsaint Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Doncaster is a regular visitor at the stadium and very cosily behind the Defectors -so cannot see him or his mates at Hampden/Park Gardens or wotever its called now-stepping in to check finances as THAT MAY result in Rangers being forced back to the lower tiers for x amount of years and that cannae (according to the experts) be allowed to happen. SO do they sit back and "hope" that the big guy on a white horse comes along with his mate Tonto and hope things pan out nicely. The FANS are the ones allegedly suffering BUT are they not expecting too much too soon ? Surely the club had to rebuild slowly and not race ahead with all guns blazing -its a sad state of affairs that is taking Scottish football further down the pecking order.

Pelosi Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I'd suggest it's taken Scottish Football very much up the pecking order!...well for St Johnstone anyway as we have very much beneffited from this club's demise.
