The Shire - Rule Britannia?

Yes, the mighty Shire will be visiting a packed Ibrox tomorrow as Rangers look to signal their intentions after being held to a respectable draw at Peterhead last week.

East Stirlingshire is a pretty misleading name and leads people to think that the club is based in Stirling and not Falkirk, but according to Wiki, the club was founded in 1880 as Bainsford Britannia!

Early history


Although East Stirlingshire's official date of formation is 1881, their origins can be traced to the previous year, when Bainsford Bluebonnets Cricket Club formed a football section under the name Bainsford Britannia.[SUP][5][/SUP] In November the following year the footballers broke away to form a separate club under the name of East Stirlingshire. The first match was against Falkirk's second eleven, with the latter winning 7–0


Anyway, I'll be going tomorrow with my son, I've got him a season ticket at £70, and he'll go to every game this season if he continues to not eat up his dinner

Supposedly Rangers have sold over 30k season tickets which is pretty good considering the circumstances, I guess we truly are the PEOPLE

​

 

renewed my ticket two weeks ago but cannae make it!! i'll be in Aviemore, bummer,
not only missing the game but surrounded by sheep worriers!!

 

we'll gaped them 4-0 at the least

 

Heard that the 38,000 season tickets could be sold out by today.

 

Will Bilbo Baggins be playing?

 

Could this be the only "Taig-Free" thread on the Rangers board?

 

Cue Mindy in 5....4....3...

 

where did you hear that?

 

edit: 37,774 is the world record for 4th tier match

 

A fella on my fb was saying that he said to the ticket office he was wanting to buy a ticket today when he got paid and was told that they may well be sold by then.

 

I've not renewed mine <------fareweather fan.

Still time though eh?

 

that's what I was thinking.

Not a Taig, so you are golden

 

Coincidentally Alex Ferguson started his managerial career at East Stirling.

Ferguson was also a popular footballer at Ibrox until the huns found out he was married to a pape and quickly got rid of him.

It's not well known but Rangers FC were a bigoted institution before they ceased to exist.

 

It's funny because it's true.

 

It's boring and repetitve

 

and true.

 

Why do you feel the need to keep mentioning it every time you get the chance?

 

Because I can.

 

Taig mean Celtic fan where I come from.

Now....... GO ON.......Fuck off

 

Ferguson got punted 'cos he left big Billy McBungle unmarked at a corner in the Scottish Cup final then Celtc scored and went on to gape us 4-0.
