I dont want Rangers anywhere near my league.

I know you may be confused with the whole 'We don't do walking away', but we have no intention of joining some athletics association thankyouverymuch.

Better than the above 2, well played

What league would that be, by the way ?

PL

I actually feel for Rangers fans here. If Hicks and Gillette weren't dumped out when they were, Liverpool could have been in a similar situation.

Scared we may upset the balance of powers ? :pac:

Haha. Sure

Rangers (in regards with stadium, fanbase,...), or Celtic for that matter, could easily rival the big English clubs, provided they get the same amount of money from Sky and sponsors.

And I'm deadly serious in that.

Possibly in the long term.

I just dont want Scottish teams in 'my league'

Happy to have Welsh teams though :rolleyes:

No I dont want them but they were there when i started supporting football so not much I can do about it now.

I dont want this move towards a Euro competition and bringing down SPL teams would be a step in that direction.

Hi Paul.
A quick look at the thread might let you know why i'm so pissed off (I've just got the news as i'm just home from work). You're comment seems incredibly glib and almost gloating in the wider context - i apologise if i've taken it the wrong way.

Personally the idea of simply "moving" to England is a stupid one - it's never going to happen.

Fair nuff. I wasnt on the wind up, its really not my style. Just I read most threads on boards and seemingly like you I dont like the moving SPL teams to the EPL. Thats all it was. Think a lot have taken me up the wrong way. Meh.

I think a certain poster on here's Twitter comments summed today's situation up pretty well.

Whyte's dinner date with Regan & Ogilvie backfired! :P

so 2 years ago attendances were down??

This is a call to arms. The time is now. This HAS to be done. More so than ever. A plea to us all to unite. Every single Rangers fans forum, organisation, RSC. Spread the word in every possible way. Post on other Rangers Forums, Twitter, Facebook, Text Messages, E-Mail's, phonecalls.

The Bears are coming together and it's got the potential to be huge.....

We have stood about for far too long. Other than the Kilmarnock game, we haven't shown our strength in numbers like we can do. Outside the Main Entrance at Ibrox that day, the atmosphere was fantastic. We were just hit with the news that had entered administration. A day that many thought would never happen and wasn't possible.

Since then people are constantly saying they feel helpless on here. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It's time to show just how powerful we Rangers fans can be.

Our club are dying infront of our eyes from a death of 1000 cuts. Just when we think we could be reaching the end of this epic, draining saga the SFA have imposed an unforgivable punishment by fining Rangers Football Club £160k and a 12 month ban for signing players which is monumental in terms of rebuilding, should new owners take control for next season. It's of course not known at the moment, but this could have a disastrous effect on a preferred bidder being announced and the SFA have all but ensured that they want us gone. The final knockout blow has possibly been delivered tonight.

Our money is drying up. The players contract's will soon be defaulting back to normal terms, key players are out of contract soon, no Season Ticket money has been made available and of course, Dilly and Dally will be wanting paid.


But are we going to go down fighting? Not a fucking chance....

There are plenty of Bears on here and i'm sure many others worldwide that don't use forums online to vent their frustrations that are feeling utterly hepless in this situation. Not everyone is in a position to donate to the RFFF. Those that can, have which is superb. Others have arranged fundraising nights, sorted raffles and auctuons and had other events to help boost our finances. But there are still Bears I know feeling that they can't help and are watching their club die infront of them. In a few weeks time, we might not have a Rangers as you and I both know it.

We are forever going in seperate directions as a support with these type of protests in the past and ultimately, they fail or aren't as successful as they should be. We are the Worlds Most Successfull Football Club. We have shown as a support just what we can be capable of and it's time to show that again. Manchester '08 showed the size of our base. Was that game more important than showing the world how much our club mean to us espeically when they could soon not be around? Personally, I think not....

This can be our time to be as one. Feel as if we are ALL doing something together. Let's not look back in hindsight. Let's not think about what we could have done. Let's make this happen, NOW. The Rangers Family together again, showing that we truly are The People. The Union Bears have agreed to be in attendence. They will provide colour and extra noise. The recent protests and displays at Ibrox have been fantastic but we have the chance to make a real statement, outside of people's comfort zones. Let's take it to the streets.....

The event is scheduled for Hampden. This will be to show our disgust at The SFA who have been shown to be bias and corrupt and have done all they can to hammer the final nail in our soon to be closed coffin when other national associations would be doing all they can to help their biggest and most successful member club. Let's not forget Regan's walk out recently also when in attendance with members of the Rangers Fans Working Group and the subsequent lies he gave about that incident.

But, this can be our chance to have a voice about other issues. The whole administration process has been a farce. Strung along, deadline by deadline. We have to sit by and watch this without really knowing for sure just what the hell is going on. Every Bear is at their wit's end. Threat's of Liquidation left, right and centre are making this a nightmare of epic proportions. Let David Murray know what you think of him. Let Craig Whyte know too.

Other SPL clubs want us gone too, there is talk of our titles being stripped from us, our history being wiped out.

We can't stand by anymore and allow our club's name and our reputation to be dragged through the mud due to missmanagment by a Liar and charlatan in David Murray and a complete conman in Craig Whyte.

Should this be successful, it has to remain dignified and peaceful. Let's sing until our throats can't handle it anymore. Let's make out point clear. However, let's not do the wrong things that will give our enemies more ammunition to throw our way.

It's not us as a support that's in the wrong here. We are being punished both emotionally and mentally with this. We have done nothing but support our team and be there for our club. Our absent friends that can't be here to help are not to blame either. Let's be their voice too.....
