That won't happen but our record there since 2000 is a farce
Alienating in what way?
I'm sure he means kids. Children can be fickle and not enjoy supporting a team that is second best every season.
Not that it’s really any better, but we’ve won 7 titles in that time.
You think Rangers fans will chuck it because we have been poor for some time? I don’t think you understand our support very well. 50k crowds against semi-pro teams suggests otherwise. We will be back.
If we’d beat Motherwell , Ross county & Dundee we’d still be ahead
If they're only bothered supporting a team if they're winning, they're not supporters.
That doesn't seem to be reflected on money spent on either side in the accounts
Context re league titles. We were hamstrung and unfairly treated for a portion of that time
We are talking about kid, those things happen. Kids get fed up watching their team fail every season. It's the same the world over and why the most successful teams tend to have the most supporters.
The problem here is that we had an opportunity to put our foot on their throat and even if up so it went back to a more normalised period of success for each club
Spot on. My son hates them but struggles to understand why he should support a team who finish 2nd in everything. I keep telling him it will change but it’s getting beyond a joke now
Exactly, we only need a squad that consistently beats the other teams that is absolutely achievable.
Beating that lot would have unlocked riches for us that’ll now go towards septics pedo debt
It’s not even close, they’ve both beat them twice this season, we barely lay a glove on them. Embarrassing.
In a way where young fans who grow up liking football but don't have a dad around and the mother doesn't like football, so he start supporting them. Or a mum n dad that don't like football.
yet we have larger wage bill than them
Europe means fvck all when we are finishing second every season and allowing them the Champions League cash
We are sleepwalking into second best and a frightening amount of our support can’t or won’t see it.
That would carry more weight if we hadn't had such criminal levels of miss spending imo.
OP is talking about alienating Rangers fans. Fans that currently 'support' Rangers, but who might withdraw that support if they're not winning enough.
That mentality is embedded in the core of our squad. They have suffered to much from Celtic which has caused an inferior mindset.
And some won't have a bad word said about certain players and other areas of the club.
My 8 year old said today dad when are we ever gonna beat Celtic when it really matters. Sums us up.
Well when we didn't win there for 9 long years, some of us stuck by the team and we eventually got there. Same happened with Pittodrie, 9 long years.
Yes, I used to ask my old man that when I was a kid. So plenty of us have been there before.
We should only want fans who stick with us through the difficult times. If youngsters only want to support the winning team then I hope they choose them over us. Long term we’ll be much better off without them.
I think its a very real possibility now just look at our attendances in the 80's when we didn't win much.
Yep, I was at just about all them games and wouldn't change that. Made what came next all the more enjoyable. Sadly it didn't go on forever as usually happens. The big difference this time, is the club were nearly gone forever. Without Rangers, i would have no interest in Scottish football. Been part of my whole life and I'm just glad Ibrox still stands and all my mates are still Rangers fans.
I was there too bro when you could sit wherever you wanted.
