Rangers fans have already launched two petitions to oppose the club’s future participation in the Sydney Super Cup, or ‘Stavros Celebration’ as it’s better known, with the announcement made today that Rangers would be taking part in the four-team friendly tournament Down Under.
The announcement is being regarded by many as tone deaf, with fans shocked that the club would sell out to our city rivals in this way, in a competition which gets into bed with a club which currently finds itself being imminently sued in a multi-million pound child sex scandal.
Let’s face it, we have no admiration for them over the city, and for the board to make this decision is probably the latest in a long line of club decisions, not just Rangers, but throughout football which completely ignore what fans want.
Zouma at West Ham, Goodwillie at Raith, then Goodwillie at Clyde – just 3 examples of common sense failing to prevail and money taking precedent.
Out of touch?
Probably a bit. Board members don’t listen to the fans in general, and it must be said Rangers haven’t exactly been run well since March 21, since 55, with a host of strange and naïve decisions being made which don’t harmonise well with fans.
We don’t know if they’ll listen to the outcry.
We’ll just have to see.
You said it yourself at the end of the day the FACTS are Rangers fc doesn’t give a toss what the fans think knowing that septic are being taken to court for what you can only say is DISGUSTING, IN my opinion yes go to Australia but DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CUP COMPETITION. NO DOUT IT WILL FALL ON DEAF EARS, BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN THE FANS WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR SEASON TICKET RENEWALS. THE FANS ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE SECOND TO NONE, PITY WE CAN’T SAY THE SAME ABOUT THE BOARD AT IBROX.
No chance that will happen mate lol
The only folk I can see are being positive about it are the bears down under that are getting the chance to see us play them. However, them releasing the news on the day a certain other bit of news was being released in the eyes of many makes us complicit in their attempted cover up. It’s a sore one for them too with their terrible “ain’t part of anything” patter despite the “old firm” trademark renewal. However, regardless of opinion the fact for 8days work we will receive the same amount as an entire SPL season should be enough to force teams into backing the removal of the likes of Doncaster, etc that have undersold our game immensely. This should be all the evidence they need.
