Just been reading another site about boycotts for the next round of the league cup if we are drawn away what is the general thoughts of bears about an away tie and filling the coffers of an SPL team.
How are league cup gate receipts divided? Is it home club gets all or is it 50 50 split. I know years ago league cup in England was home club takes all and in fa cup it was 50 50 split. Any ideas? Will it hinder our chance of progress? And what if were drawn away to Celtic? Hardly make much difference I wouldn't have thought. What about buy a ticket but no programme or food and drink etc?
Personally I think showing support for our team in a competition that we are able to compete with teams at the top of our domestic game should be put before any hate campaigns. Anyone else agree?
I hope within 3 years we can get out of scottish football and go down south theirs plenty of notice between now & spl entry why not register an intrest in english leagues worth a try
100% boycott from me, this fight is nowhere near over, in fact its just the start.
Personally we shouldn't boycott half the money comes to us and the team needs our support. so no ah don't agree with the boycott. also pumping an spl team on thur own patch would be satisfying
Filling your coffers as well, money's split 50/50 in the league cup.
What happened to follow follow we will follow on,anywhere everywhere has this changed and why do we keep blaming others for the sins of our previous owners. Green hasn't helped in all this with his rants.
We love Rangers and nothing should stop us going wherever they go. We owe it to our team to support them whenever we can, let's stop this idiotic boycott talk.
Bobby
Boycot for me. The great inwashed are already planning to boycot Killie games. Why?
Well said Bobby, you can only aspire to get back to the top league, all this rubbish about boycotting games away to SPL clubs and entering Enlgland when you reach SPL status it not going to happen. England dd' nt you when you supposedly had money so can't see them wanting you now!!
Why boycott? Our team needs our support. End of.
Oh dear, the 'let's go to England' idea again. How many times?!
I think weve all forgot follow follow. its a 50/50 split away from home so we sit and talk about boycotts which hurts our team in the long run with every round we are drawn against spl ,time to stop and think what we are posting. time for blue noses to show our true side and and go support the team chear and sing and show why we are the people..
Boycot lol what are use talking about
all true rangers fans know the score
its our own fault were we. and all the
so called fans use call yourself are to interested in hatred and not excepting that we need to change as a support as we have been fooled by the owners for years and years and can't except whats happened and we are being fooled again with green and the propaganda of it not our fault y are we not protesting and asked questions y is hurry back in meeting green
No boycott why ? What will that solve ? Eh if we play on the roads we will watch from the pavements ! Remember that. Oh it's not England we should try , it's the euro league they are discussing at present , last year there was a meeting held with reps from Scotland , Portugal , Norway , holland in Glasgow before the last old firm game last season, at the time I didn't know why they were having a meeting / dinner at where I work . But I see the bigger picture now, few big teams in the list , old firm , psv , Ajax , benfica , Lisbon to name a few that sounds the way forward
Stop all this ridiculous nonsence about boycotting games what gd is that to team and its never going to make difference also we were right to be relegated to div3 and voted against cos we broke rules not them what else were teams to do just sit back and say ok just stay in league get a grip also ppl who talk about boycotting games dont even go anyway so stop stirring it up we need a reality check here bears we really do
I will never boycott a rangers game i will be following on to give the lads support this is so trivial and does not do us or the club any good we are football fans we watch football i find this very disturbing lets face the facts it nothing to do with the manager or players they need our support the old board caused this lets stop blaming everyone else we bought into it i hold my hand up and was fooled most of us bears were time to move on and stop stirring up trouble lets continue to make new freinds and hopefully be back up the divisions soon i hope the bears who want to boycott are not armchair bears the real rangers fans are much better than this give us some credit
Scottish football is a state why wouldn't we be open to moving else where.scottish clubs showed they don't want us so why should we "aspire" to line their pockets...so let me get this celtic fans can boycot every team that tried to support rangers through the worst time in their history but we can't show our feelings towards them the only way we can with our feet and our money.still makes me sick the amount of clubs and people that kicked us when we were down never forget that ever....kev
Boycott? Why because they made the correct decision, that most rangers fans wanted? No, get behind the team, prove WE are the best fans in the world, earn some respect for how we follow follow and back the players.
Finally some sensible posts from true supporters! Well done and keep it up and maybe you be able to drive the pathetic boycott brigade out, as they are not supporters of Rangers Football Club! And I bet they are the same idiotic supporters who have been drawn to the club after Green's pathetic "we are victims" speech and looking at causing as much trouble as possible!
Good luck to Ranger's true supporters!
This is where it gets a bit silly, we shopuld be there to support our team, we brought a lot of trouble on ourselves, the best thing we can do is go and cheer our team on to victory, thats much more satisfying
gunny
The reason for the proposed boycott is because the $pl teams dont want us but they want our money. I can understand this reason for boycotting them, after all...they told us that they didnt need us OR our fans cash and they would fill their stadiums week in week out.
Lets see how full their $tadiums are when there is no travelling support.
As for the celtic fans...utter hypocrites. They tell us we are being childish and to grow up when we mention boycotting the corrupt $pl teams, but then turn around and talk of boycotting Kille because they DIDNT vote against Rangers!!
Lol thought you guys don't care of nobody likes you! Lol boohoo crying to your mummy boohoo they don't want to play with us!!
What a joke you and your club have turned into lol
And believe you me! They think the exact same of you down here in England lol they can't get enough of the Rangers freek show lol and By The Way, they don't want your rancid supporters anywhere near their leagues! So keep dreaming lol {Ed039's Note - Have you spoken to supporters of all English teams then? I have many English friends and some of the Eds are English and some of them wish Rangers well, some of them dont care, some of them only care about one thing, the team that THEY support. And BTW just as many dont give a toss about Celtic or any other Scottish team for that matter, what a stupid post)
As a 66 year rangers supporter i have supported rangers all my life and i would further like to see the boycott go ahead as some off you so called rangers fans have got very short memories
Regarding the stupid poster above. I travel to England very reguarly and I can assure you there is deep rooted sympathy for RFC. Can I also add that comes from fans that have Sceptic as a 2nd team. What they do know is that the who Scottish game is now a complete joke and now dont even bother tp give pur results a second glance. Where abouts in England are you talking about anyway. Cork?.
Are we not supporting our team home and away.?
Nothing to be achieved with boycotts - lets move on.
For many a fan this will be a tough one. For me, it has to be putting any money I have into rangers and not other teams. At this time our club needs all the cash it can get. However I understand those that want to see the away games too.
Glad to see we still have the greatest average number of supporters in Scotland for home league games. Indeed we are THE ONLY SHOW IN TOWN.

It's not a 50/50 split. The home team get the first 15% to cover costs, the rest is then split 50/50 so away team gets 42.5% of the gate. But the Septic Premier League teams don't need us, oh except the cash we generate, so don't go to their grounds!!!! John F
Boycott for me, no chance am I going to an SPL ground, not a hope, they wanted to finish us off, pay back time
Each fan (of any team) needs to make up there own my mind on whether to go to games or boycott them, shouldn't need any fans groups or spokesmen to tell them.
I used to travel everywhere to watch Rangers, but stopped during the course of last season (kick-off times, prices, standard of football, over-policing) were just a few of reasons.
Do I miss it YES, will I go back again maybe, but I made my personnel choice and I'm comfortable with my decsion.
Any fan that wants to go and watch and support there team you are right, any fan that doesn't want to go to a particular ground your right as well.
My entire social/work life used to involve getting to the football every week, now it doesn't.
Yes ed pathetic post as you say. I live in England and trust me most people I've spoken to are shocked at the rangers situation . Shocked that the governing body which would amount to nothing without the old firm are being so unsupportive of one of its members. It's been proven that without rangers or Celtic the league can't even get a sensible tv deal. It's time to get all members onside and build a league which offers competition throughout and can hold its head high . There should be no want nor need to move to another league or country. Scottish clubs and its fans should strive for a league to be proud of not run away from.
All this victim rubbish from Green is to boost his private share sale, we will be asked to hand over 5 or 6 hundred quid for a "block" of worthless non voting shares.
There will never be any underwriters or city backing for a share issue so it will need to be private to fans only and this is what all the drumming up about victims and vendetas is all about.
Listen to bomber on this one, if the club is being run within its means then why does Green need shares sold now when we cant buy a player for 18 months?
This is to either pay back the backers now or cashflow to keep club going, we are still walking a financial minefield and the long term is still very uncertain.

So how about buy a ticket to support the team but Do not buy programmes or food and drink.
It's a no win situation, of course you have a grievance against clubs who voted against admission into the SPL for your new club, there are others who say the new club didn't merit admission. Either way, you weren't voted out. there's a bit of missed opportunity here though. Instead of Charles Green taking the confrontational stance he has, he could have played a blinder by accepting what a large section of the Rangers support wanted and began anew. accept a local charity as a shorts sponsor, publicise your GOOD news stories which there are plenty. having said that, Charles Green has you where you are now and will do what he thinks best, he's more of a businessman than I will ever be so I shouldn't criticise.
Maybe making a return to the SPL on your own terms should be goal just in case there is nowhere else to turn when the time comes, be courageous and magnanamous, humble even. That would surely screw with the minds of many in Scottish football.
So.... some will boycott and some will attend to show their support, each will make their point. perhaps those boycotting could attend a youth game instead so something was going into the club?
Just a point of view.
Lol thought you guys don't care of nobody likes you! Lol boohoo crying to your mummy boohoo they don't want to play with us!
What a joke you and your club have turned into lol
And believe you me! They think the exact same of you down here in England lol they can't get enough of the Rangers freek show lol and By The Way, they don't want your rancid supporters anywhere near their leagues! So keep dreaming lol
I live down in England these days, Rangers man through & through and i can tell you that your talking BALLS! Where i live people think Rangers have been very heavily punished, had no support from ANY footballing body, and that the SPL is joke...they don't care about Scottish football.
They can't get enough of the freak show thats Rangers.....more like its the only interesting thing to happen in Scottish Football for decades....we are, and always will be the only show in town. The reason they think scottish football is so poor was backed up by your lot winning thier first EVER game away from home in the champions league.....now thats a Joke! Crawl back under your rock the only rancid thing about here are your opinions!

Celtic fans, and many others laugh at our so called threat of boycotts. We should unite and act on our threats against all those that wanted our proud club severely wounded or dead. Even our grandchildren will look back and wonder why we, the supporters, didn't retaliate.The SPL is our prime target, especially if they take our titles away because that's our pride and joy. Only when this happens do we boycott away SPL cup-ties and future entry to any SFA/SPL league set-up, until titles returned. Geo the Ger
boycott the away games to spl clubs, i will never forget what they tried to achieve, they want our money but not us.
At first I believed in boycotting the SPL teams, giving them absolutely nothing as I was seething with them. After thinking about it, i'd rather the fans go along to any cup game against them and show them exactly what they are missing! The SFL teams are loving the added cash in their accounts and are more than likely laughing at the SPL sides for being forced into not letting Rangers in. Ask any chairman in the SFL that has had a visit from Rangers so far this season and they might not say much but the massive Cheshire cat grin on their faces will say it all.
Away from home we need all the support possible as can clearly be seen from our away results. would you boycott the final? dont think so, get behind the young lads and the rest of the team whoever they are playing. absolutely idiotic idea
Boycott for me as well but only away spl cup matches. Would only attend if given a complimentary ticket but no pie and bov or program for me.
Our famous song FOLLOW FOLLOW is part of what we're about. Totally against any boycott but if the Liewell and Co steal our titles then ALL BET'S OFF.
What about all the "we don't do walking away" stuff then ? The badge kissing players couldn't wait to run away are we really suggesting the fans do the same ?
Of course we won't boycott a final against any spl club 'cos it's neutral, and not an away venue. Agree about boycotting away spl cup matches and any future spl fixtures if and only if, we lose our titles, then Gers fans should unite and fight. As for Follow Follow - yes but not to help clubs financially as their fans tried to bury us because of jealously, greed and other motives I don't wish to mention. WATP
The year we are promoted to the 1st div combined with the team that is demoted from the
S pwee hell will be brilliant. Said team will be absolutly cackin themselves at the loss of revenue and I for one am so lookin forward to it. Sceptic fans are organising a boycot of Killie , WHY.
Who cares ill bet theres rangers fans at spl games and when they are there it will be the real fans and we will see the ones that want to destroy the name of the club standing outside. doing what exactly? stoping pepole going in? threating there fellow bears? dont think so not i my life time! ill be the first to put them in there place. clowns!
Celtic fans might boycott Killie for not voting Rangers out of the corrupt spl and also cos historically, a vast majority of their fans being pro-Gers. Maybe our fans could help Killie at that match?
Boycott if you want but its not doing anybody any favours this is the stupidest thing ive ever heard leave supporting the the club to real rangers fans and we will get a new generation of familys that will support the club if you dont come back rtid
OK then we'll fill their grounds thus giving the gers-haters plenty of our cash, and at the same time let them strip away our titles and also give them a big thank you for letting us be fast-tracked into a new league set-up - stuff your spl and it's clubs excluding Dundee and Kilmarnock.
Boycott the spl club's that deserve it, Ally and C. Green won't dare say it but I'm having a go, definate are 1. celtic 2. hibs 3. dundee united 4. aberdeen ---------not sure about st.mirren, st.johnstone, hearts, ross county--------ok killie, dundee. Tommy S
Sorry, missed out motherwell...........because c.green gave them the ok. Tommy S
Celtic most certainly didn't want the SFL move, I know that for a fact. It wasn't called the OLD FIRM for no reason.
Sorry,missed out ict...........big terry was my boyhood hero,say no more. Tommy S
Dont think we should boycott nearly 50%of your ticket money will come back to the club anyway my thinking on it is that we dont buy anything inside the ground pies, drinks ect
No need for boycott now. Ally got his home tie v Caley .... but the next target is clyde away! (They wanted gers out of existence)
To the post that said Killie didn't vote against you, er they did not vote for you either, they took the cowards way
Tam
These groups do my nut in they dont represent me or my family who do they think they are no boycott from me onwards and upwards we are making new freinds long may it continue
"To the post that said Killie didn't vote against you, er they did not vote for you either, they took the cowards way
Tam"
Nah mate......Kille were the ONLY ONES who didnt vote AGAINST us. The true cowards were the ones who wanted to vote FOR us but were railroaded into voting AGAINST us!
This is the reason that the perma-offended want to boycott Killie...because they had the indignity to vote with their own mind!!!!
I detect a few septic fans on here pretending to be bluenoses against boycotts. To the true - bluenoses that are totally against this action, will you still have the same views when the spl so-called independant commission take away nine of our trophies?
This is now getting a bit embarrassing, say you draw Celtic away in the next round(thats if you beat Inverness) i personally cant see it being boycotted, why would you not want to support your team in the biggest game in your newly founded history, and Celtic will not boycott away games against kilmarnock. you'll always get a small number of muppets who call for a boycott but will still attend the games, same with rangers.
