The squad never stayed overnight so let's say it was 50 quid per head x 20 - a grand all in! FFS get a grip bears we are still the rangers not a Sunday league team

JG

{Ed039's Note - Thats not the point, its only 95 miles from Ibrox FFS, hours to the game by coach)

Ed we got much bigger issues than this, this is just another small thing being blown out of proportion

JG

Yeah not a problem at these prices even Ally could offer to pay for all, in fact maybe when he read his contract he might discover it is part of it. Seriously though why in current circumstances (regardless of how much) should in anyway there be this additional cash going out.

I feel that although Wallace must produce a plan to sort out the whole structure, it would help the moral of the support if he could show a couple of major savings he intends, to make ends meet.
This would be outwith any cuts in players wages and/or numbers.
I agree that travel expenses etc. must be trimmed but JG is right, so Mr Wallace target the bigger issues first.
Unfortunately, we are not in a position that looking after the pennies will enable the pounds to look after themselves.

Op - that was the chepo internet deal. but you don't get the point. even if it was 2 grand it would be 'cheap' - but only if RFC could afford it. start looking it this way.

How many fans season tickets does each of these little jaunts cost. and could the money be better spent. Wake up - its the 3rd tier of Scottish football and most of the opposition that day had to be working at their day jobs

JG. what planet you on. back in angolia and under tooo much sun?

15% pay cut on Thursday, let's spend 1000 for one away game, like we never need to be careful with money. ?

no wonder no one knows where £22m gone, and about the £14m owed by club (with owns ibrox) to company?

history will repeat if we never learned any lessons from last time. What did you think of the Dunfermline game you said you were going to.?

Yet again the spivs get the heat took off with simple tactics that ally falls for. he is their scape goat he and the team takes the hit over a small matter yet they fulled their pockets

OP - if you feel that the stop off and expense is justified then seriously you need your head examined.
Its that type of wasted expenditure that has seen the need for 15% cuts and serious concerns of what happens after Wallaces 120 day judgement period.
Oh and another thing, bigger question mark hangs over the hotel itself. It's a creditor due approx £4k!

Sorry JG be it 1000 or 50,000 over the season, we can't afford it, just because we are Rangers doesn't mean we have to have the best of everything there is to get? that's exactly the mentality that has got us to this sorry state we are in from the Murray days. Cost cutting needed? but hey ho let's not start now. as we have a little booking at a plush hotel to go to? in fact let's not stop any of that stuff and get the players and staff to take large pay cut or even better let's pay a load them off as well. That is the sort of accountants that we don't need. Wallace 120 days to fix the probs started and what's happened??? we won't know because they won't tell us? But they will tell us they need players to take a pay cut? strange way of doing buisness?

How many are going to renew their season books if the same board are in place in the summer

I will be renewing mine. Admin a possibillity with ST sales. It is a ceartinty without them. Don't ever want to go through this embarresment again.

I won't be renewing until I see changes in the way the club is run and Stockbridge is sacked. You have to make a stand somewhere. I will pick and choose which games I go to but with a heavy heart. I'm not funding the Spivs any longer
Coisty09

I would like nothing more than to stand firm and not hand over another buck untill we have the necessary change but as the above poster stated, another admin would be a disaster and I want no part in it.

As I have stated previously I will not be renewing my ST I will pay as you go once the people who call the shots ie the institutional investors the ones that put the board in place, the ones that kept stockbridge in place regardless of how us fans felt, once these spivs show me some long term commitment by investing in the club ( and I don't mean buying more shares as that is not investing in the club) then I will do the same

No one should buy a season ticket till all the lying thief's are gone, all of them, amen

Mr wallace said pre agm that they had investers standing bye waiting to invest I wonder were they weny thus he should not need book money to sort out our current money problems

Wallace hasn't even gotthe chair warm. we need to give him some time to assess the crap and start telling the fans what he can do to cut costs AND to raise more money.

More likely that I will not renew if Ally is still serving up the style of football that we are having to endure! Part time teams are playing a better style of football than we are. so what are the 3 Amigos doing with the players at Murray Park. certainly not teaching them to pass the ball or cross the ball.

McCoist has only lost one game and drawn one all season. Who has won more "Manager of the Month" awards for the Division? Graham Muir of Stranraer. because his team plays good attractive football and wins games on a shoestring budget.

Wonder if he is being paid £400k a year?

Not saying I would want admin again but who is to say it would not be best thing for the club. The last admin was a fiasco and only one group was ever going to get in. Totally rigged. If there was a transparent admin event it could- only could- lead to a clear out allowing the right crowd to come in. I feel some folk are actively hoping for it, many things going on behind closed doors.

#8. here here, its the only way forward, it gets rid of all the in one hit

Lochaberbear, buying a season ticket is not investing in the club. I take it by picking your games you mean you will be at the Hearts game next season how shallow is that? Rangers need us now more than ever yet its now people are choosing to turn their backs on their own club, I really don't get it.

Like most rangers supporters I would like to take this opportunity in wishing our former legendary captain barry ferguson all the luck in the world in his first steps in management as the new blackpool manager, I reckon he'll make a terrific manager and one day he'll be the rangers manager in my opinion, I was reading this morning that he's wanting to sign ex rangers pair kris boyd & alan hutton along with ex motherwell winger jim o'brien, three very good signings in my opinion, BIG RAM!

“He wants to sign Boyd and Hutton” Management the Rangers way = jobs for the old boys.

Or buying decent players he knows and trusts.

Think Hutton would be a good signing but Boyd couldn't cut in the championship a few years ago so why would he cut it now?

If Boyd is given good service he'll finish all day long. Good luck Barry.

{Ed039's Note - David Goodwillie is his preferred choice by the looks of things)

@1 you had my hopes up there, I thought you were talking about Kyle Hutton!
