However, we do know that getting to the Europa League group stage is non negotiable for them, because even their own highly optimistic projections count on income from European matches to make the sums add up.
Add to that expensive legal dispute with Ashley and real uncertainty about future replica kit sales.
£7m i believe. Original loan was £3m.Quote:

I now a lot of these were in soft loans though. Has king actually put a single penny into this club?
Yip, they originally borrowed £3m and paid that back and have since borrowed £7m.Quote:

I think all the directors converted their loans into shares to get round FFP which is good news for that but if they hit admin because of Ashley then they have no friendly creditors for a CVA vote.Quote:

That doesn’t mean any loans are outstanding.Charges may be left in place in case Rangers need future borrowing.It saves the expense of going through the charges rigmarole again.Quote:

‘Rightly or wrongly’ we forced open the gate.[emoji23]

They are utterly shameless. Saw some chat about the ticketing issue being exasperated by fans turning up with fake tickets demanding to get in.Quote:

Kilmarnock should tell them to gtf.
The circumstances surrounding the forcing of the gate are disgraceful and I hope that anyone involved in that is punished.
Not wanting to stick up for the huns here, but I do think clubs need to get a grip with the ticketing arrangements outside grounds in order to ensure fans can get in speedily. We've had our own issues at our own home and Tynecastle amongst other places (Dunfermline pre-season to pick on another) and when thousands of fans are left outside for longer than is necessary then tempers rise and it can be unpleasant.
By all accounts the recent changes that we've seen at the turnstiles reduce the chances of getting into a ground with a forged ticket. If forgeries are now being weeded out, we now need to ensure we have ample police and stewards near turnstiles to escort folk trying unsuccessfully to get into grounds away so those in possession of valid tickets can gain entry.
Huns are erseholes and will undoubtedly carry much of the blame here, but I do think we have issues with the way we treat large, boisterous away supports in this country - and we don't do a good enough job of it.
Absolutely, horrible people & club. Traynor at his worst. They supposedly expressed concern about disabled facilities at Killie previously. Really? They were concerned that the disabled area might not be able to withstand half wits jumping up & down on it. I expect Killie to go ballistic over this.Quote:

Has there been anything about what the failure of Kilmarnock's ticket system was, either this time or the other time(s), that the Rangers' statement refers to? Wonder if the "failures" were not letting forged tickets in.
Hopefully Kilmarnock come out with a response.
Killie did come out with a response. They said that they had never had trouble with the ticketing system before as it was the first time it had been used. Sevco were therefore telling lies, no change there! Also Sevco claimed that the gate was opened by the police. Killie say that was not the case, it was forced by Sevconians.Quote:

The video in the article totally contradicts the statement that the muppets have released. Incredible how thick they all are.
The "rightly or wrongly" bit totally devalues everything else that follows and shows immaturity as well as irresponsibility. It's like a wee boy saying "I'm sorry" with his fingers crossed. They then wonder why there's no respect towards them. Imagine the outrage if Hibs fans or anyone else had forced a gate at Ibrox. The sooner they go belly-up again, the better for civilisation.
Absolutely no surprise at all.Quote:

Hun fans riot
Everyone else: you need to understand that sometimes things happen you don't like but grown up, decent people don't start a ****ing riot because of that.
The poor supporters placed in severe danger by the nasty Killie people getting them stuck outside the ground....Quote:

1. Inconvenienced by the entry system so aggressively intimidated stewards who earn 30 bob an hour
2. Forced a gate en masse and illegally entered a confined space in the stadium
3. Over-filled a stand - posing serious risk of injury
4. Invaded the pitch and demolished an enclosure for people with disabilities trapping them inside - one requiring medical attention
5. Complained to Kilmarnock re their inept and dangerous organisation for visiting fanshttps://www.hibs.net/blob:https://ww...0-cb6543075872
Did I miss anything?
Goebbels would've blushed. :rolleyes:Quote:

Rangers man Ian McCall on Sportsound suggested Killie were at fault for selling more tickets than the stand holds.
Guy from the Killie Supporters Association says Rangers fans were trying to use the same QR codes twice and when he said it wasn't the first time the QR code system had been used, it was used at the Euro game. McCall conveniently focuses on a friendly dig about the Euro tie.
Killie supposedly conducting an internal investigation. Hopefully they issue a statement which includes how many times the QR codes were attempted to be reused.
