Publicly funded BBC to cease negative discrimination against Rangers supporters
Follow Rangers is a Rangers shareholders group.
Like many Rangers supporters we are seriously troubled by BBC Scotland’s ongoing bias against our club. Recent events have led us to seek to petition Her Majesty’s Government to intervene and debate this matter at Westminster.
BBC refuse to provide equitable full coverage of Rangers. This impacts hundreds of thousands of Rangers Fans who are also licence payers. Rangers have over 40,000 season ticket holders and took circa 250,000 fans to Manchester for 2008 UEFA Cup Final.
Rangers Fans across Britain contribute anything from £40m and over to BBC via the licence fee. It is not unreasonable for them to expect the same coverage from the state broadcaster as any other football club.
