They wouldn't go bust but it would certainly hurt themLike they did the years we weren't in the league. None went bust and they wont this time round.

Tried that at Tannadice and they still turned up. Also more recently in Switzerland. All it takes is one fan to go and the rest have an excuse.I think if we as a club ( the board ) refused tickets then that would be enough
Aye because they were all so strong before we went downNo, they didn't go bust. But they were considerably weakened. The Premier League became a one horse parade with no other club capable of mounting a challenge for any trophy.
If we had stayed down any longer I'm sure a lot of the clubs like Aberdeen and even Septic would have found their model unsustainable.
We were even getting the blame when Septic were getting their annual arse raping from the continental minnows in European competition. I reckon if we hadn't bounced back so quickly Scottish football would be akin to the League Of Wales today. A boycott for one season,denying them the Blue Pound would have the SPFL crapping themselves. Oh, unless they got Super Sell Out Saturday started up again.

Sound idiot. I’ll take supporting the team. Missed the blue pound so much they’re still here, let’s leave our players without a supportThe same blokes who moan like fck about other teams wanting to "kill our club" are the same blokes who are first in line to put money in there pockets and keep them alive.
Its no wonder they dont fear "our blue pound"
So the next time you wanna go in on the sheep or hearts or sellic light, just remember its your fault they are still in the same league.

I didn't know that even after all they did that's a perfect example why a boycott will just never work.Nithsdale ran a bus to the rearranged game because the majority of its members voted to run a bus to the game.
I've read some real derogatory comments made about fans on here, especially the away ones.
Theres no better fans than these guys. If you count the money they spend in a year following rangers, theres no argument. It's a big part of their life so why should they give it up for people who dont go to the away games or have a subscription for RTV
It’s every thread the same posters call us down say we’re weak and enabling our haters or some. In reality Rangers means a lot more than some hatred towards a diddy clubI've read some real derogatory comments made about fans on here, especially the away ones.

Rangers fan calling fellow rangers fans enablers. Theres only one club in scotland guilty of that.It’s every thread the same posters call us down say we’re weak and enabling our haters or some. In reality Rangers means a lot more than some hatred towards a diddy club
I know plenty of supporters who have never been on FF who are asking for a boycott,although I find our forum a good gauge to measure the feeling of the Support.I’m lucky I get all tickets not allocated on cccs from bus due to a point system. I’m certainly not going to stop going because of a minority on FF that don’t mirror the awaybsupport on FF
It’s ridiculous like you said I think some are forgetting the holidays etc we need to take of on work on Wednesdays for Aberdeen ross county etc I think calling us enablers is a bit of a low blow. It’s not even that big a deal you either want to go or don’t it really affects no one by all means have a debate but always ends up in the they only want there big Sunday on a drink by an earlier poster that then later said he’d only been to two away game before hahaRangers fan calling fellow rangers fans enablers.

I know none.I know plenty of supporters who have never been on FF who are asking for a boycott,although I find our forum a good gauge to measure the feeling of the Support.
I don’t see why this can’t be done. Even the threat of it should be made public to them before they vote. We need to start standing up for ourselves, because no one else is.
Vote to stop us having the chance of winning a title, you will not get a single blue penny when you need it most. Simple as that.
I cant afford to go to the football now, but I used to love going to away games. You get to know a lot of decent guys from elsewhere.It’s ridiculous like you said I think some are forgetting the holidays etc we need to take of on work on Wednesdays for Aberdeen ross county etc I think calling us enablers is a bit of a low blow.

Not going to start arguing with you but are you saying other than FF you have never heard anyone talking about a boycott.I know none.
A full boycott no I haven’t as most of the people I go about with want to attend as many games as they canNot going to start arguing with you but are you saying other than FF you have never heard anyone talking about a boycott.
We received £7k per live tv match in the lower divisions i'm sure, now who do you think received/carved up the rest of that TV moneySo they should tbh because clubs in the SPL didn’t all go bust when we went down the divisions like some thought they would, so what’s the point in boycotting now?
I agree people that leave early it’s a waste of a ticket or those that leave at HT just stay in pub and give it to someone that wants to watch the whole game but that happened pre 2012 to mate don’t think we’ll ever stop thati made a decision in 2012 to boycott the scum who voted us out (including the cowards kilmarnock)
it wasn't an easy decision as i never missed a game including stuff like midweek away reserve games etc.
but i wanted to look at myself in the mirror knowing that i stuck by my morals.
i have no problem with fans still wanting to go away, especially younger ones who never had the chance pre 2012
all i have ever asked is that the fans who go away back the team for 90 minutes no matter what the score is (what is the point of going if you can't do that)
in the majority the fans have been fantastic but there have been exceptions when we have been losing and the "selfish, look at me, that's another game chalked up" guys have been streaming out.
it's not hard to stay for the whole game and show defiance.
what's to stop them adding to/creating atmosphere at home games?No need to take the piss out your fellow supporters. I can understand it to he honest, only time you can get a decent atmosphere.
Of course it wont help the players but neither did getting booted out the league or have them being awarded a league title because the other Clubs would rather put the boot into us again help either,we are a democracy and thankfully we all have our own choices to make .There are Supporters who go to away games who know fine well what they are giving up for themselves and the Team but are sick of being kicked in the bollocks by these parasites as I said everyone is entitled to their own views and decisions I for one wont dictate to anyone I wont lie and say I'm disappointed but that will be it.I cant afford to go to the football now, but I used to love going to away games. You get to know a lot of decent guys from elsewhere.
Used a couple of really good buses in my time. Linwood and queen st, a couple of them. Great days out and the guy on the queen st bus was first class. Always got everyone sorted for tickets. As for europe, all you had to do was give him the money and he would have the whole thing sorted.He always got a good deal with cheap flights and accommodation.
I'm right behind you and the others, boycotting will achieve nothing. It certainly wont help the players, that's for sure.
100%.....haven't been to any away games since we've came back up, but yes I and others have had a right skinful every away gameI've only ever been to two away games so I could be incorrect but I don't think I am. In those two games, I would wager that a far greater percentage of fans were blind drunk than you'd ever get at Ibrox. I think it also ties in to the idea of our away fans being better and getting behind the team more. In my opinion, it's probably because they're drunk and enjoying a 'party' style experience in a much greater way than you can ever expect of a Saturday at 3pm - though god knows some obviously try.
They want to go to all the games. Is that a problem for you?what's to stop them adding to/creating atmosphere at home games?

Maybe you need to get it out your head that all the clubs go about deliberately sticking the boot into us.Of course it wont help the players but neither did getting booted out the league or have them being awarded a league title because the other Clubs would rather put the boot into us again help either,we are a democracy and thankfully we all have our own choices to make .There are Supporters who go to away games who know fine well what they are giving up for themselves and the Team but are sick of being kicked in the bollocks by these parasites as I said everyone is entitled to their own views and decisions I for one wont dictate to anyone I wont lie and say I'm disappointed but that will be it.
It’s not helping Rangers we struggle away at without us not having a backing. See how the players react to the backing they get they love itI liked going to away games. No more for me, would you consider the big picture that you would help Rangers in the long run by exerting some power by boycotting games?
It’s not about hating other clubs more than loving Rangers. It’s about helping the club in the long term
Uber shite.Because we are shite at boycotts.
I personally never mention how many games I’ve missed in conversations and on this thread I know @MearnsUnionist doesn’t. We aren’t interested in ourselves if we were we wouldn’t be shelling a good few hundred extra, we are interested in supporting RangersBecause too many supporters are only interested in themselves. How many people have you met who gleefully tell you that "ahve no missed a Rangers game home and away fur 30 years". They are the problem.
The only way to get supporters to stop going is if the club supported the idea.
A lot of them willNine times out of ten, these boycotts are proposed by someone who doesn't regularly go to away games anyway.

i know plentyI know none.
Like they did the years we weren't in the league. None went bust and they wont this time round.
Some clubs actually made more in prize money in our absence than they would out of gate receipts , if a club gives us 4000 tickets a game it’s worth under £250000 a year less increased police costs and that’s if they play us twice .Like they did the years we weren't in the league. None went bust and they wont this time round.
Everyone thought they would fold the last time and stop us being kicked out the league. Didnt happen, so maybe there not as scared of rangers as some of you like to think.I agree the players need/want the backing. I’m talking about helping the club in the situation we find ourselves in. Not so much regarding winning/losing individual games. I would think the threat of a boycott (when required) would help us in off field negotiations
if you read my original post you will see that it's not a problemThey want to go to all the games. Is that a problem for you?
I must admit I haven’t eitherNot going to start arguing with you but are you saying other than FF you have never heard anyone talking about a boycott.
They aren’t as they’ll get money from the papes anyway which goes a long way alsoEveryone thought they would fold the last time and stop us being kicked out the league. Didnt happen, so maybe there not as scared of rangers as some of you like to think.

And I still end up with you Clarkston bastardsVery harsh and on the whole totally untrue.
You think a Rangers supporter who wants to support his team every week is "the problem?"
Come on mate.
Gone are the days when other teams are reliant on the Rangers support for finance.
With the exception of Livingston and St Johnstone, the away allocations have been drastically cut for Rangers away games now.
Motherwell, Killie, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, St Mirren are nowhere near as reliant on income from Rangers coming to town now.
Reduced ground capacities and massively reduced away allocations has totally changed that dynamic.
Boycotts are pointless and achieve nothing , I no lads that prefer away games too home onesNine times out of ten, these boycotts are proposed by someone who doesn't regularly go to away games anyway.
