Don't listen to these 'erberts. Get yourselves down to Marston Road and sample the match in person!!!!
For those who don't support the Rangers as such but want them to succeed, paying £12 to get in is difficult to justify. It's more the novelty of seeing Marston Rd on TV for the 2nd time in a year than being there. I wish them luck, but would rather watch them for free, and in relative comfort.
I know that watching in the pub isn't strictly free, but I'd go for a jar or 2 before and after the game, plus something to eat at half time, so add this to £12 for a ticket....
Totally accept your point Rex, but as an addict, supporting a team that is nosediving into oblivion, I have a moral obligation to encourage Fords residents to visit the venerable old ground.
Crowds are down, and if they continue to fall, we will be facing the prospect of not having a team at all. That is not an over-dramatisation of the situation, just the bitter truth of football finance I am afraid. Rangers old rivals such as Scarborough, Runcorn, and Telford have recently folded and had to rename and reform, with varying degrees of success.
I plead to all of you, if you have any interest in the Rangers at all, get along to as many games as you can (even if it is only 1), it would a tradgedy for us to lose the famous club. Kids are £2 with an adult, mine love it, and I usually take as many from the neighbourhood as will fit in the car.
Football is not all about the over hyped farce that is the Premier League, ...
Sermon over.
