The footballing authorities scrabbling about in the gutter. SPL teams fighting over the scraps that Rangers granted them. Money and TV rights.
They all said they didn't need Rangers and some even said they were going to win the Champions League, meanwhile stealing a wee bhhhouys paper round money to put towards Izzy's wages.
'Sell Oot Saturday' a total disaster.
What's this weeks venture called?
SPL in a total depression. The clubs and their fans are in disarray. No idea where they are going to get money from. They can only steal so much. The fans that promised they would sign on the dotted line if Rangers got the heave-ho apparently meant they would maybe think about thinking about it ... maybe soon. All these same fans and the clubs they 'support from the hoose', have only one subject of conversation. Their fans forums, none more so than this one, are full of talk of Rangers and everything to do with them. Old. New. Up. Doon.
Whatever... but debt free.
Meanwhile the only real show in town ... on the telly, in the papers, on the radio ... is The Rangers adventure. The fact that a 3rd division outfit can draw more of a crowd than all the SPL teams playing on the same day put together. The media are abuzz with the fantastic response from REAL fans. Over 30,000 season tickets snaffled up in jig time. On public sale for one day... and already they are at a premium. None of this 'Aye... ah might... depends ... like ... need tae see how it goes... yadda yadda yadda. By ra way... is ra gemme oan the 'pooter this weekend?"
Yes... you can scramble about in the death throws of your league, moan about the iniquities of life there, Wonder what you will do after xmas when the league is won. (That back room still needs painted ). Wonder even more how you ever got yourselves into this sorry mess ...
or you can up sticks and come join a band of merry travellers. Join us on our fantastic journey back to the top. Wave at those old fellow fans of yours who decided not to leave their discomfort zones. Wave at them as we pass them on our rise and their demise. Join us. We seem to be the only happy fans in the country. We seem to be the only team on the up and up. The only team signing players. Billionaires forming an orderly queue in an attempt to get a piece of the action.
Yes... there's only one bandwagon on the road. Hop onboard. Join the fun. The adventure. Partake in the bonhomie.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You can tell your grandkids, "I was there! I was part of that! We did it... and we did it together. We did it TOGETHER.'
The only downside to the whole thing however... and we all know there is always a downside. There is no such thing as a free lunch. The only down side is that you will not... unlike us first-generation Bears ... be able to stand tall ... hand on chest, sturdy jaw cutting a dashing profile... and say.. with any degree of sincerity...
We ARE the People.
