Like most Bears I've spent today it's my chest puffed out proud of the stance the fans and club have taken on our away ticket allocation.
But Dundee Utd and the medias response has been puzzling to me.......
We as Rangers fans categorically stated the vast majority of fans would never set foot in SPL teams grounds again.
The first test has come along, and guess what?
The majority of fans said ,"No thanks" then the club responded in kind by refusing tickets.
So why the surprise? Why are the SFA having a EGM? why are Dundee Utd releasing statements saying they won't release statements?
Is it because they thought we were all mouth?
Is it because they thought we wouldn't actually be here?
Time for a reality check haters!
To me, today shows more than ever that we are the best supporters in the World as we've yet again came together very quickly to get a message out and the club have responded, this is so refreshing as a bit of me thinks that Charles Green and his team would rather we did take the tickets and fill the away end, and if we did accept the tickets i believe the away end would have sold out. I know some dont agree with the boycot and I understand why and would never try and change someone's mind either. It's a case of agree to disagree, but it's been fairly civil between us all for the most part.
For me this has never been about money, it's a statement to show the haters that we will never accept being treated like that again. We knew we were in the wrong, we as fans had our hands up saying,"ok, we did wrong" But the bile and hate that came our way was wrong, very wrong and it looks like it is backfiring bigtime now.
Reality is setting in for the haters.
So take today as another huge victory for The Rangers football club. We the fans ARE The Rangers football club.
We've never gone away anywhere to come back.
We are the biggest show in town and by Christ are we making a lot of noise and "they" are not liking it and long may it continue.
The Worlds media is watching and we are doing ourselves proud by showing up the people that kicked us when we were down instead of letting us take our punishment and get on with getting our house back in order. Now the spotlight will hopefully turn onto them, they can answer the awkward questions presented to them by the world media as to why we don't want tickets....
Cheers for everything all the fans have done, the bloggers, the message boards, the tweeters, the RSC's, the club itself and you reading this
We really are showing the world why we are the people!
A proud Franky

ReplyDeleteThank you. I always get a tad nervous when i blog haha
DeleteI can't for the life of me understand what their problem is!! They, (DU & the rest of the SPHell), shouted to the rooftops that they didn't need Rangers, or Rangers fan's money. So they ain't getting it!! Why make such a song and dance about it, they don't need us!!
ReplyDeleteI know mate .......Madness
DeleteWell said,agree 100%
ReplyDeleteCheers Davie.
DeleteWell said Frankie. I to am proud of the Club for their stance. I was listening to arguments from both camps and was undecided as to whether a boycott was the way ahead.
ReplyDeleteI've had reservations since it was first mooted but am glad CG has shown the leadership required here. It would have been a festering boil amongst our own support and that we do not need. UNITED WE MUST STAND and Green has shown that he understands this and will allow no one to divide us.
Yes i totally agree. The fact he's taken the Bull by the Horns and made a difficult decision that probably goes against his own opinion is very welcome.
