Tommy Brown Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 21 hours ago, Mark_Mywords said: IMO, the plan was always to move back into Hampden. I thought the reason for Lesser Hampden rebuild was for QP. Then I suspect they got above their station and seeing themselves in the Premier, they had to explore getting the dump on rental. I personally have time for the ****s and wish them repeated relegations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartsfth Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I am sure when Celtic under McCann played at Hampden for a year they paid a flat fee of £1million. Quite a while ago so would be interested to know how much Queens Park pay and how much TRFC will be charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Still no confirmation on Sevco's pitch arrangement for a season that kicks off in a few days time. It does look like they'll desecrate Hampden with their bile and hatred which at least spares Edinburgh from having to put up with them. Their bigoted knuckle dragging support must be getting a bit anxious that it could cost the millions they need to compete with Celtic, all the time conscious it was them walking away that let Rangers die. Celtic on other hand will be rubbing hands together at the prospect of Champions League monies filling their coffers. Thankfully no Hearts supporter gives a toss either way as both sides are equally as repulsive as each other, with no redeeming factor for either of them.

Footballfirst Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Rangers update - still no indication when the work will be complete. RANGERS can confirm that it is in the final stages of negotiations with the Scottish FA to secure Hampden Park as its temporary home until the Ibrox works are complete. Chairman John Bennett has issued the following statement: “First I’d like to apologise on behalf of the club for the uncertainty that this delayed project has caused to our season ticket holders, hospitality clients, partners and the wider support of this football club. "The number of variables in this situation has made it extremely difficult to bring the one thing we all crave – certainty. “Nevertheless, we are closing in on the most immediate solution - a suitable venue at which to fulfil our fixtures and house our support. "While the ongoing delay means that the club is unable to fix a date for our return to Ibrox, we anticipate that this will become clearer upon delivery of the necessary materials to Glasgow. “Rangers thanks the Scottish FA and the SPFL for their strong support in working to this solution. “The club wholeheartedly appreciates the continued patience of our supporters while we work through this most trying of situations. “I intend to give a fuller, personal update by the end of July.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not good to have one of our biggest club disadvantaged, won't help the competitiveness of the league. Hopefully the sfa charge them a nominal fee as charging a hefty fee will disadvantage them even more than the additional costs already are. Unsettling for their fans as well, it's a real shame.

Footballfirst Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) Their fans aren't happy that there will be no refunds for games played at Hampden, which will be inconvenient for some. I don't know what the legal situation is for fans. Their ST conditions will allow for changes to ko times and match days. However I'd be pretty sure they will have entered into a contract to access specific seats/stands at Ibrox, but not at any other stadium of the club's choosing. I'm sure some fans will object to being relocated to what they view as the "Celtic end". Edited July 11 by Footballfirst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest the sheer arrogance they showed towards another club in the league who had ground issues last season, demanding apologies and games to be forfeited as well as compensation rather than working in a conciliatory manner is probably not helping here. You could almost argue not being able to start their season at their ground despite the work being planned is more ‘negligent and unprofessional’ than anything Dundee did.

They accused Dundee of embarrassing Scottish football, probably white they knew their own stadium was a death trap (yet again). They then sell tickets for said death trap. Then release a statement, days before the start of the new season, saying we don't have any news on our stadium.

sac Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 As a newco, they are still finding their feet and must be given some sort of allowance, however the WATP brigade really should know better. A Hun will always be a Hun and therefore always think the the league revolves around them and the governing body should duly oblige at the detriment of everyone one else. The Hun f***** up, accept your mistake, and eat some humble pie, otherwise you should accept whatever the decision is as long as the other clubs and their supporters agree.

joondalupjambo Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 If TRFC have to play 5 homes games at Hampden is that only League games? If you add in Euro games, plus League Cup games depending on the draw then it could be many more. All we need is some bad weather, the pitch gets cut up and then does that not effect Scotland games given the possible poorer condition of the playing surface?

Malinga the Swinga Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Looks like Hampden for Sevco then. Could be three games in league, could be more. For a new club, they haven't half made a mess of updating the old Rangers stadium. I'm sure their knuckle dragging bigoted support, certainly those that used to be Rangers supporters, will manage to bring their usual chorus of sectarianism to the National stadium although it will be interesting if they treat it better than other grounds that aren't theirs. Let's hope their ground repair bill continues to be a milestone round the new clubs neck for a while yet. Unlikely they'll die though, that would be really careless if they followed the previous inhabitants of Ibrox to the grave although I'm sure a new version of Sevco would arise. Wonder if the support would walkaway again? Probably would, they can't have much loyalty to a club that is only about 12/13 years old. Thank goodness we got ourselves organised and didn't allow our club to suffer the same fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
