Not being funny but you should really be 26 points ahead even at this stage. Players on £**** against tinkers, tailors and candle stick makers.

Are the Scottish leagues like the English ones in that the home team keeps all the gate money?
Or is it as it used to be down here with the gate money split between both teams? If so did Elgin City have a better pay day than Hastings yesterday given that there were 46,000 at Ibrox?

as i understand it...the fa cup is a crowd split with the home team ex the security' other charges and half the away teams travel. unless i'm out of date...league games in scotland are the home teams income. the scottish cup is a split...ie rangers go to dundee utd. and will get 40% of the gate despite refusing to sell tickets to rangers fans who are boycotting the game due to stephen thompson's stance on the spl nonsense of voting the champions out. rangers found not guilty...spl and petrie'thompson and co now missing the big crowds. 46.5oo odd at ibrox yesterday..... income massive...future good... question...how can whitehawk run on 50 spectators.....

once again the spl and the other bampots who control scottish football are making a pure dead stupid move and seem to be set on keeping their positions of power while ignoring the supporters and the biggest club in the country. i fear that ibrox will always be a sell out but the boycott will spread to the detriment of the whole game. i am aware that it will be four years till rangers can vote but the sheer stupidity of the administrators ignoring the club will just cause more trouble to everyone. i'm already being told that this restructuring has been mooted to keep rangers down and the clubs/fans reactions will be to retrench. so pie and bovril sales at many grounds will suffer.

If they restructure into 3 leagues, doesn't that get you back to the top quicker?

winning div 3 and the restructure means that rangers dont go up...they stay in the bottom tier. so another year added to their plight. no wonder there's been a huge reaction by the blue half. plenty to come...but visit the daily record or scottish sun...it's started already.

www.rangersshareoffer.com/Prospectus.pdfLoss from operations before player trading £3,776,000 in three months ? So, a club that was so skint a year ago , unable to pay local catering firms and travel agents , along with HMRC , has property assets valued at £79.2m . Is it any wonder HMRC take a dim view on football ? Also, note of the money they are seeking to raise, £4.5m of it is for land aquisitions adjacent to Ibrox . Here comes the real plan.......a casino

out of date sean...it was oversubscribed. the valuations of assets was obviously bigged up for the floatation. the debts owed were from the orig. rangers and the story of their demise is subject of enquiry. the newco have, or are, paying all the football debts of the oldco. this is a first. the hmrc wasted taxpayers money and again this is being looked at. remember the same hmrc tried to shut lewes fc down and have caused havoc all through football. in fact, there are still hmrc enquiries going on in other clubs. it's the quality of the people running the club that is important. the quality of the people who run the spl, sfa and sfl is now in question. study the new set up plans and see if it makes sense...

OK. Assumed at least one club from the current 4th tier would qualify for the new 2nd tier - think that sort of jump has happened before eg. in our non-league life. Anyway - if what you say did happen - you'd still be two promotions aways from the top tier - which is also the case in the status quo if you get promoted to the 3rd current tier - so no real loss - you have to play most of the same teams again - but financially, not much difference in gates etc? BB - you're an educated man - Daily Record - Scottish Sun - come on

i use these newspapers to keep up with the goings on..just the football....not the rest. i read all of the stuff from players, managers and board members but especially the fans comments. the reporters show some bias but the fans are just poles apart....as it always was. mr. green says rangers will leave scottish football but he is badly..or not at all, advised. i suggest that there's more grief to come.
