Thread | Some of our fans...
at 16:18 20 Feb 2019
I'm not one to have a go at our own fans as after all we are one group who have a shared love for our club.
However, across the last two games (Wat and WBA) I have been gobsmacked at the behaviour of some of our fans. Against Watford, in the first few minutes, it was obviously noted by most people that a bottle/can was thrown from the Ellerslie Road aimed at Will Hughes. Following this, at the end of the game I was walking down SA road when a gentleman in his late 50s I'd say, walked straight up to a group of about 5 Watf fans who weren't causing any trouble and decided to push one of them and told them to F off. He then followed this by telling them he would take all five of them on, and here's the shocking bit... he had his young son in tow.
This brings me on to last night. Now I understand that we were obviously all so frustrated at the end, some people round me were kicking their chairs. One idiot though ( and this is in the so called family stand) decided to launch a bottle at the WBA keeper. The bottle in question was very close to hitting him. Once again though, this was not the most shocking thing to happen, he then turned and picked up his two daughters of about 2 and 4 years of age. What an example this man is setting, not only to his daughters, but also everyone else around him.
Now I do understand that we are definitely not the only club who does silly things like this, Leeds are big advocates of this. The thing that really gets to me though is that this will have some form of punishment for the club, probably a fine, which whilst it may not be a huge fine, it's not like we have money pouring out of our ears at the moment. So next time anyone considers launching something on the pitch take a minute to consider any possible ramifications, baring in mind the security cameras can zoom into every seat in the ground. |

Thread | Safe standing to be debated in parliament.
at 16:28 2 May 2018
After signing the petition for safe standing it has been confirmed that it will be debated in parliament. The subject is going to be debated on 25th June in the commons. Something that I know a lot of Rangers fans feel passionate about and want to see implemented. The club also backed the petition and if it gets through the commons it could be something that we will see at the Loft in the coming years, and this may begin to help the atmosphere at home games again. |

Thread | How long is going to be before fans stop going away??
at 19:05 11 Jan 2015
10 games away from home now in a row, surely fans are just simply going to stop paying to go watch their team away from home. Yesterday with the argument between the players and fans I'm totally with the fans as we support are country up and down the country and there just seems to be a lack of effort throughout from the players, therefore we should fans bother paying the money to go see them when they can't be bothered themselves. I've seen them be a up for a fight in a match once this year and that was after the final whistle on Saturday. If this continues I can only see less and less fans going and if the run continues it may lead to boycotts away from home. |
