Have you been to a game this season?
Have you no seen the SUPPORT these fans blubbering have given the team?

This is exactly the type of attitude that has led to Thompson being able to shaft the club and the fans for so long.

TU im no lover of Thompson However my point is compared to Craig Whyte, Mad Vlad, Petrie and the long list of lunatics BNBS have had hes doing all right. I personally do not feel shafted by his actions, gutted by the results but its players who win matches not chairman.
Bowers have not missed a home match ( and never leave before the end regardless of the score) for over 20 years. What im getting at is threats of conditional future support of the team.

But nobody has said they wont back the team? You dont have to buy a season ticket to support the team plenty chose to pay at the gate per game.

Everybody makes there own choice Bowers on how they choose to pay for games. Season ticket income decides next seasons player budget. What im really saying here is its more important to me to see us come straight back up than to try and get one over on ST.

Sevco didn't go down, they were a new club admitted to the Scottish Football League and given a new type of membership invented on the spur of the moment by the SFA. They have then, unsurprisingly given the money thrown at the project, come through the leagues.

The real Rangers are in the process of being liquidated. Two 'Rangers' were actually part of the Scottish football system when Sevco played Brechin City in the Scottish League Challenge Cup in July 2012. Both still exist, but the tribute act is the one now wrongly identified as 'Rangers', aided and abetted by Charles Green and the football leaders in this country such as Regan and Doncaster.

So, we've not to blubber, yet you already have us relegated? I'm certainly not wishing to argue with a good supporter, but I do find that position contradictory. FWIW I still think we'll stay up, which is only an opinion, perhaps deluded.

But it's a fact that we aren't yet relegated.

Beharder, I hate Thompson but I still support the team and will continue to do so in whatever league we are in next season and the season after that and so on. However I'm not going to sit idly by and watch Thompson ruin OUR club which he is doing at the moment!!

Do you honestly believe that all season ticket income will decide our budget for next season?
The budget will be drastically cut next season whatever league we are in and even if we got a huge increase in sales it wont change that.

Pat I have not got us relegated yet, I was just putting forward a possible scenario. Mixu has made the team a match for the rest of the shite in the bottom half. Ive said previously as long as the gap is around a point a game we have a chance

But it's a fact that we aren't yet relegated.

I will support the team week in, week out, home or away no matter what league we are in. However I will not sit back and watch the club I love being destroyed a money grabbing cunt.

Absolutely nail on the head mr Ultra

I'll be renewing irrespective of what 'ship we're in.

What's p1ssin me off tho is this nonsense regarding the Cup Top. Always had them, because it saves you going to the shop to get a ticket for a Home Cup match, and it guarantees you getting your own seat at the game.

Now I know that not all Season Ticket Holders have them (If anybody knows the percentage of Season Ticket Holders who have them I'd be interested to know) , so they have to go to the shop to get their ticket for the Cup games. No different to the hundreds of supporters that go week in week out to all the away matches you might say.

Well there is IMO. Coz come the Home Cup matches, there's gonna be 6000+ folk all having to go to the shop to get their Cup ticket - every phuckin game. No something everybody can manage. And how they're gonna ensure that ALL the Season Ticket Holders get their own seat ahead of everybody else. Ken there's cut-off dates and all that, but it's gonna take a lot more organising, and mibbee even more staff resources to do it. Coorse, they might just make ALL seats at Cup games on a 1st come 1st serve basis. That'll really p1ss me off.

Mibbee Eh'm just a moanin basa, but the Club do seem to be asking something of us here, so is there anything wrong in asking something of them in return, that the Club Senior Management will have put procedures in place to deal with this correctly and professionally.

The club haven't dealt with selling cup tickets right for years. There is no ST holder priority period when you can buy as many as you want or the fact that they don't even check if you're a ST holder or not. There's no chance they'll deal with this right either.

There's only 4 teams which would require a home cup game to be all ticket, any other games will be patg and you'll not be guaranteed your ST seat.
