There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Into administration, clear their debts & then get the income from crowds of 50,000 or so each week. They'll get inordinate media attention too. They will walk through the leagues. The only question is how long it takes to settle down. It's feasible it takes a year, but I'd expect not even that.
They will not get crowds of 50k a week though, they will struggle to get 10% of that, now that the glory hunting scum from all over the country suddenly find no vicarious glory to cling to.
They may not always get 50,000 .... but it'll be a damn-sight more than 5,000. I wager you a tube of Refreshers they average over 30,000 this coming season.
I accept that bet in a flash. They will be far closer to my figure than yours.

BTW, Paddy Power are offering 6/1 the field in division 3 this season, and also 12/1 that Rangers win nothing either, snap them up before they take them down.
Where's Fatshaft .... he owes me a tube of Refreshers !!!
Official stats are out, showing Rangers saw only a slight dip in attendances, attracting average crowds of 45,750 - down from 46,324 - as they won the Division Three title
That really is quite impressive. I can't imagine any other club in Britain maintaining that kind of support under the same circumstances. Glasgow must be a really dull place, with very little else going on.
Hope is what keeps us going.

See, what I'd like to see is the size of their crowds in season 14/15 if they don't get promoted again at the end of next season.

Hypothetical now, I know, but I'd love to have seen how many Man City might've got on during the following season had they not scrawped that play off final against Gillingham.

All's well and good when it's deemed to be a novelty.
May the bridges I burn light your way

What's happening here again?

Villain of the piece Charles Green is now back in a consultant role

On the same day, shareholders put together a proposal to get rid of three of the top dogs in the boardroom

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23553958" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Club chief exec Mather rebuffs it

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23562125" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Green apparently goes on record saying that McCoist had to win the League One title as a well as a cup this season. McCoist none too happy and has a proper do at him.

And now Walter Smith looks on the brink

Just had a quick look, and it was very quick on a Rangers forum. Seems to be support for Green's comments there from some and seems that a number want McCoist out (in a we like him but he's shit way rather than a Megsonout way). Plenty of the oppposing view too, but I expected it to be complete backing of McCoist.

Brides all round for tea on Saturday night. :D

Looking forward to their visit to Airdrieonians a fortnight on Friday, when hopefully all their infighting is still continuing.
