    I remember Rangers original, offering their services to Blackburn Rovers.
    As far as the tie went poor Blackburn came second.

    Why does Charlie Green tell lies, I thought he was paying James Traynor to do that.

    Charles Green believes television companies, sponsors and fans are on the verge of giving up on a “dying” Scottish game.

    The Rangers chief executive, speaking to fans in Dubai earlier in the week en route to Australia, believes plans for a restructuring of Scottish football will continue to leave it in a perilous state.

    A proposal for a 12-12-18 league model, which would also see a change to the redistribution of wealth amongst the 42 clubs, is currently being discussed by the SPL and SFL with a view to implementation for next season.

    "Something needs to be done because Scottish football is dying," Green is quoted as saying in The National.

    "More and more clubs are teetering on the verge of bankruptcy and unless something is done there won't be any television, sponsors or fans, because attendances are declining."

    Green alleged diminishing attendances at city rivals Celtic, saying the top flight is struggling to thrive as it stands.

    "You only have to look at Celtic's league attendance," he added. "The most successful team in Scotland today is Celtic, yet for a home league game they can't get half of what we are getting.

    "Something is not right and it needs fixing. But to do it in the middle of the season is wrong."

    Based on official figures published by both clubs throughout 2012/13, Celtic’s average home crowd for league matches this season stands at 46,105, a total of 736 spectators less than Rangers have recorded.

    Strathclyde Police figures recorded by officers earlier in the campaign showed that the number of people attending the first three league games of the season for both clubs were lower than publicised.

    This is because clubs publish the total sales of tickets, including season books, rather than the actual number of spectators who physically attend.

    Police numbers showed 6,944, 9,071 and 11,060 fewer fans attended Rangers’ Third Division fixtures versus East Stirlingshire, Elgin City and Montrose than were credited in figures given by the club to journalists.

    Celtic’s had 6,731, 7,328 and 9,324 fewer in attendance than was publicised in matches against Aberdeen, Hibernian and Dundee respectively.

    Historic attendance figures held by the Scottish Premier League show of the ten clubs who participated in the top flight in both 2012/13 and 2011/12, four have reported higher average attendance figures year-on-year, with six down.


    You tell them Charlie.

    There's nothing quite like a good factual documentary...... And this will be nothing like a good factual documentary.
    Too bad they'll all be out with their sisters whilst this is on.

    So Scotch Fitba is dying on its arse and Chico thinks something needs to be done.... His answer is to help an Italian team against a Scotch team... A Scotch team whose exploits have gained every top flight club half a million quid so far....

    So Green wants to cut off revenue streams for Scotch clubs and he thinks this will help....

    I know him and his club are new to the game in Alba....but that is pretty dumb.

    Yea. He's playing to the gallery of those Sevco supporters whom he knows are hanging on to his every word - he just needs them to dig deeper into their pockets and come up with the brass to help him on his way to millions of pounds ... which will benefit the club, of course. <whistle>

    No Harry they are to replace those who applied to buy shares and didnt
    pay by various methods for example bounced cheques. Traynor said about a
    fortnight or so ago that the share issue yielded £10m not £22m that Green spoke about.

    Yes Ally is certainly casting his forensic eye over this issue is'nt he? The fans need not worry with a Rangers legend keeping his finger on the pulse like John Greig did before.

    How many games have we played in the CL and how many times has the travelling circus given us cause for laughter and mockery?

    A rough calculation and a quick check of my memory banks tells me that Chuckles and Jabba have spun more pokies than a sausage juggler. It's a weekly and sometimes daily event when someone over at the Ivory Towers comes out with some guffery that is worthy of discussion or outright mockery, that's why this thread - which is a combination of many threads - is one of the longest.
