    Since this has been a subject brought up at the AGM and had a few different opinions on the AGM thread i thought I would make a poll.

    So should We?


    I personally think we should.

    We're aiming to be a big Club, the big Clubs have them.

    Eventually it's a no brainer. What was Lawwell's concerns though, couldn't read the text earlier but seen he had replied to it?

    Lawwell said, "if you buy one you need two..."

    Nah me neither.

    We should have our own. It will need a stripper pole though to keep Kolo happy and a candy cart for wee Jamesey.

    Don't know mate. Never usually see two Parks buses rolling up at the stadium just now though so one certainly seems enough.

    Maybe need two incase one needs serviced from time to time?

    He said it's in case one breaks down. Basically hinting that it would be a waste of money.

    Would assume its as a backup in case one is off the road.

    I think we need this to happen



    Except ours would be a double decker painted with the hoops and a tri-colour on the roof

    Crazy that we don't have ONE for first team duties.

    Even I've got one after all!

    Yes, then we could park it when we're away on CL nights.

    Does it matter?
    Dare say, if it was cost effective we would have done it by now.

    Imagine it involves buying two kitted out the same way, then you need to hire a driver for them etc.

    I'd assume it's cheaper to just rent one off parks of Hamilton.



    Not gonna buy in to the "funding the huns" argument either. If the huns are relying on an indirectly funded coach hire from us to stay alive, then let's just laugh at them.

    Cheaper to contract it out to a company, so I'm in the don't care camp.

    Wasn't that part of the question yesterday at the agm, someone suggesting the use of parks of Hamilton was subsidising the huns? Bit petty to be honest and hardly directly goes to them.

    Parks is owned by people who also happen to be directors or something at Rangers

    Surely the back up would just be a bus company or is that using too much common sense?

    No need for our own. Parks supply the team bus for free to us and them. Brother is a bus driver with Parks and every bus is replaced brand new every 2-3 years no matter how high or low the mileage.

    Costs of buying, maintaining and running a bus alone must run into the tens of thousands. Far better we spend that money on players etc.

    Makes sense that they do it for free, after all its great advertising for them.
