ive been told the union of fans have closed their account, does anybody know why??

The uof have closed their account because they couldn't get the assurances from the board over the security of ibrox & murray park, I said all along boyblue that this along with dave king was bound to fail, the only way is for a rich sugar daddy to buy the club outright from the major shareholders, step forward dave king where have you been for 6 weeks, you talk the talk now its about time you walked the walk, after all you split the supporters with your idea of putting money into a doomed from the start trust fund which was never going to work, mr king has now become the invisible man

No update on their website, in fact their last statement was on 6th May

Gazza. Concerning King, he stated in the press months ago that he would invest up to £50 million and wouldn't be looking for a profit. It seemed like a philanthropic statement. So why has he been silent for weeks now? He said he wouldn't leave Scotland until the deed was done. Yeh, right. What puzzles me is if I had King or McColl's money and truly wanted to save our beloved Rangers I would plough that money into the club. Maybe I'm dreaming.

I agree, if I had the money, say 30 or 40 million, I would buy them out, lock stock and barrel. I would then let the fans know I would be taking x amount out the club, over a period of years, and invite other rangers minded business men to join me and open it up to club fans to buy in. I think if fans knew your intentions and were honest from the start, they would except this after the amount of money that has been stolen from the club over the last 3 years!!

Here, here DOIGER, exactly my thoughts!

Did anyone watch the friendly against Brora Rangers? I don't know if it was on TV. I didn't see it, but the scoreline of 1-1 doesn't exactly inspire me to think it is going to be a great season! Are we really going to have to put up with Ally McCoist as manager for yet another season? At least Kris Boyd scored.

It was on RTV, Doiger. I didn't watch it but between the match reports and the comments on RM, it was not a pretty sight.

There seems little to be gained from playing Highland League and North American college teams. If you win, you are just doing what was expected and if you lose it is an embarassment. Hearts are at least facing Euro teams which will better prepare them for the challenge of hte Championship.

What is gained from these games is a bit of game time for players to gel and get fitness before the new season . The first half on Saturday was terrible but the second half was more of a starting 11and they looked a lot better with Boyd , miller and law on the park

Was at game yesterday, first half we were awful, second half slight improvement game was more a kick about than anything else which is to be expected at this stage of pre season

Muir that's bang on mate game time for fitness and bonding that's all I see people moaning about these trivial games but I think they are a must there is no point playing barsa or any other big team as getting horse will do nowt for the players confidence

I get the game time argument and that is important but game time does much less to develop the team than some sort of challenge does (IMO).

As things stand the Derby game will be the only 'challenge' the team face before the season starts.
