    It seems to me extremely unlikely that Rangers would be legally entitled to sell every seat (what's that 51,000?) as a match day tickets, if Ticketus had rights to 23,000 (or whatever the number is) season tickets. They can't sell a current season ticket holders seat as a match day ticket so what's the difference between a Rangers fan and Ticketus owning the rights to the seat? Maybe there is a difference but Ticketus would have to have been unbelievably naive to not put safeguards in place.

    And I'm saying the likelihood is that, unless Ticketus are run by a total moron, there'll be safeguards in place such that they'll not be out of pocket in such an eventuality. Of course that might be the personal stake that Whyte keeps banging on about (but I wouldn't stake my life on it, or anything he says, ever <laugh>)

    Plus, as a result of this agreement with Ticketus, Rangers are probably not entitled to sell all 51,000 seats as day tickets in any case (again, unless Ticketus are run by a total moron).

    You need working capital, season tickets provide this.

    so far it's looking like they are run by a moron who never did his homework.

    I roughly calcutate the ticketus have bought 14545.5 season books a season for the next 3 seasons, if your fans increase take up due to the club needing them by half that and it whipped the lloyds debt your not doing too badly.

    A decent increase in season ticket sales will negate the ticketus factor. Its not you biggest issue its a failry short term deal, running costs and other debts are far more pressing.

    if this were to work then expect Peter lawell to be on the phone to ticketus as we speak.

    I'd imagine ticketus have some contractual come back here. Migh be against whyte and not the gets, but bar the money he has hidden so no one can touch it, all he actually owns is rangers
