Livi FC supremo Neil Rankine urges fans to turn out and secure team's future
Rankine issues a passionate rallying call to Livingston fans, claiming the club are in peril unless crowds improve
Livingston FC, new chairperson for Livi4life Rose Conway, is pictured with Livi Chairman Gordon McDougall and majority shareholder Neil Rankine.
“We’re working seven days a week to save this football club.
“We’ve got people coming in on their holidays and working at reception for free.
“We need the fans to come out and support us. We simply cannot run a professional football club with 800 home fans coming through the gates.”
In a bid to entice the fans back to the Energy Assets Arena, the club are offering cut-price half-season tickets.
The 10-game tickets are priced at £100 for adults, £60 for concessions and £30 for children, which Rankine insists is value for money.
“We realise there’s a recession on and we need to compete with plenty of other things.
“That’s why we’ve taken this step to offer half-season tickets at a cheaper price.
“Hopefully this will get the fans in to the ground because that’s what we really need.
“We had a supporter’s meeting and we promised a cut price half-season ticket depending on the poll.
“That’s what the fans wanted, so that’s what we’ve delivered.
