Buy Your Rangers Season Tickets Now! Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain!

Football clubs operate with wildly fluctuating income streams. In May, June and July, whilst there are no games being played, the season tickets are sold and this stocks up the coffers for the forthcoming season. Once the games start to be played, then there is still some income, although much less than in the season tickets sale time.

Most football clubs operate with some form of credit facility, or take advantage make use of companies such as Ticketus, who buy tickets in advance, smoothing out the ups and downs of annual income.

What is vital therefore is to ensure that season tickets are sold! Football clubs do their best to talk up the coming season, no matter how bad the previous one might have been.

Teams promise new signings … maybe Wayne Rooney will be signed by Falkirk … how about Messi for Cowdenbeath … could David Beckham be tempted to Cliftonhill?

The internet columns written by that former practitioner of the “inky trades”, Mr David Leggat, have many uses.

Amongst those uses, a most valuable one is helping those outside the inner circle to gauge the Ibrox “temperature”.

From his many years in the press, he has clearly forged strong links with many powerful “Rangers Men” and often, though not always, his thoughts give an inkling into the mood in the higher echelons of Ibrox.

For example, he was very sceptical about Mr Green upon his arrival, calling him, with monotonous regularity, a “snake oil salesman”.

An English translation of Ally’s latest Churchillian speech: by Niall

Mr McCoist relesed a statement on Saturday. Due to tardiness on my part, I have not been able to put up Niall’s translation of the piece till now. Mr McCoist’s text is in bold, and the translation below in normal typeface.

A call to arms…

The manager said today: “I am extremely disappointed that the SFA chose to release a statement last night when the Club has not actually signed any agreement.

We need more time to galvanise the fans into buying tickets by pretending we are now the victims.
