dervish Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Fallon fucked it for us? That sounds familiar. Anyways went on a wee wikipedia binge... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_football_attendance_records Current clubs Rank Club Attendance Stadium Opponent Competition Date Refs1 Rangers 118,567 Ibrox Stadium Celtic Division 1 2 January 1939 [3][4] ..... Defunct clubs Club Attendance Stadium Opponent Competition Date RefsThird Lanark 45,455 Cathkin Park Rangers Scottish Cup 27 February 1954 [45]Airdrieonians 24,000 Broomfield Park Heart of Midlothian Scottish Cup 8 March 1952 [46]Clydebank 14,900 Kilbowie Park Hibernian Scottish Cup 10 February 1965 [47]Gretna 3,000 Raydale Park Dundee United Scottish Cup 17 January 2005 [48][note 3] Confused... Demise[edit]In early 2008 it was revealed by the administrator, Wilson Field of Sheffield, that Gretna had creditors of nearly £4m and assets (Raydale Park) of less than £12m. HM Revenue and Customs was owed nearly £600,000 in total, and it was their threat to wind up the company that precipitated Gretna's move into administration. On 8 May, the administrator set a deadline of 17 May for a buyer to be found, or the club would be liquidated.[25][26]After that deadline passed without a buyer making a firm offer, all the remaining employees were made redundant, but it was reported that the club were still negotiating with an interested buyer.[27] On 29 May, Gretna were relegated to the Third Division due to their financial struggles, with the Scottish Football League threatening expulsion should a takeover not be completed within a week. After a takeover bid fell through on 1 June,[28] the administrators confirmed the following day that they would look to sell Raydale Park to someone who will use the site for something other than football.[3]Gretna resigned from the Scottish Football League on 3 June.[29] Near neighbours Annan Athletic won the vote to replace Gretna in the Scottish league.[30] With no ground, staff, players or a competition to play in, the club's dissolution was inevitable and the club was formally liquidated by the administrators on 8 August.[5]Successor club[edit]The Gretna Supporters Society, (a Supporters' trust) formed a new club, Gretna 2008 on 2 July 2008 and applied to join both the East of Scotland Football League and the South of Scotland Football League.[31] They were accepted into the East of Scotland League, though they initially played their matches at the Everholm Stadium in Annan. The club returned to Raydale Park in May 2009 which it now leases from the Raydale Partnership, a community group of which Gretna Supporters Society is a member.[32] While... Craig Whyte and administrationOn 6 May 2011, Craig Whyte bought David Murray's shares for £1.[157] On 13 February 2012. Whyte filed legal papers at the Court of Session giving notice of their intention to appoint administrators.[158] The next day, The Rangers Football Club Plc – which was subsequently renamed RFC 2012 Plc – entered administration over non-payment of £9 million in PAYE and VAT taxes to HM Revenue and Customs.[159][160] In April the administrators estimated that the club's total debts could top £134m which was largely dependent on the outcome of a First Tier Tax Tribunal concerning a disputed tax bill in relation to an EBT scheme employed by the club since 2001.[161] However, on 20 November 2012, the Tribunal ruled in favour of Rangers. If that decision is upheld the tax bill could be significantly reduced from an estimated £74m to under £2m.[162][163] On 4 February 2013, HMRC lodged an appeal of the FFT decision and a further hearing will be carried out by a Second Tier Tribunal.[164]On 25 June 2012, the Crown Office asked Strathclyde Police to investigate the purchase of Rangers and the club's subsequent financial management during Whytes tenure.[165]Liquidation of PLC and current ownershipCharles Green agreed a deal with the administrators of The Rangers Football Club Plc to purchase the club for £8.5 million if a proposed CVA was agreed or to purchase its business and assets for a £5.5million if the proposed CVA were to be rejected.[166] On 14 June 2012, the formal rejection of the proposed CVA[167] meant that the old company would enter the liquidation process.[168][169][170] The accountancy firm BDO were appointed to reveal why the company running the club failed.[171][172]Hours after the CVA's rejection, Charles Green completed the purchase of the business and assets, including Rangers FC, of the old company through the company Sevco Scotland Ltd.[173][174] The new company acquired Ibrox Stadium and Murray Park along with various other assets including intellectual property, goodwill and various contracts.[175][176][177] Sevco Scotland Ltd subsequently changed its name to 'The Rangers Football Club Ltd' at the end of July 2012.[178]As a result of Rangers' "assets, business and history" being sold to a new company when The Rangers Football Club Plc (subsequently renamed as RFC 2012 Plc) entered the liquidation process, the extent to which Rangers can be regarded as a continuation of the club officially founded in 1872 has been interpreted differently. Rangers Football Club has been described by some in the mainstream media as a "new club",[179][180][181] whilst the then Chief Executive, Charles Green, maintained "this is still Rangers".[182][183][184]Though the SPL chairman Neil Doncaster said "it is an existing club, even though it's a new company",[185][186] SFA chief executive Stewart Regan has described Rangers as having moved from being "a club in administration trying to do a company voluntary arrangement, to a club facing liquidation and becoming a newco."[187]The new company formally applied to acquire the SPL share of The Rangers Football Club Plc on 18 June 2012 but on 4 July, voted by 10–1 to reject the application. Kilmarnock abstained and the old Rangers company voted in favour.[87] Thereafter, an application to the Scottish Football League was successful with Rangers securing associate membership on 13 July 2012 at an SFL meeting by a vote of 29–1. On the same day a place in the fourth tier of Scottish Football, Scottish Third Division for the 2012–13 season, rather than the Scottish First Division from the two options presented to the SFL member clubs with 25 of the 30 clubs voting that the club should be placed in Division Three.[88][188][189]An application was made for a transfer of SFA membership on 29 June 2012, with the new company applying for the transfer of the membership of The Rangers Football Club Plc.[190][191] Agreement was reached on the transfer with the new company accepting a number of conditions relating to the old company.[90]At the end of 2012, Rangers International Football Club Plc became the holding company for the group, having acquired The Rangers Football Club Ltd on the basis of a one for one share exchange.[192] Lest we forget.

dervish Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 What makes your post even more confusing is that you actually edited it... Sorry the quote function bust (stripped the formatting) plus I was half cut and sick of pissing about with it. Day off today so had a few watching football(needed them...). Anyways Rangers not in the defunct clubs, Gretna are. Though same thing happened to them. Gretna the club's dissolution was inevitable and the club was formally liquidated by the administrators on 8 August.[5] Rangers On 14 June 2012, the formal rejection of the proposed CVA[167] meant that the old company would enter the liquidation process. Didn't want to turn this into sevoco thread mk2 but was raging when I saw that. Link to comment
