tannerall 25,935 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I think there could be a few bob to be made from selling my own Rangers merchandise. Perhaps a red/black striped football shirt with the legend "We Are Not AC Milan, We Are Just Unhappy With Our Sports Retailer" would be popular ? Or maybe I could sell Craig Whyte and Chuckles Green dolls after the trial is over, and wee boxes of pins to go. Could prove popular. Any other suggestions ?

Sell it on eBay an donate the money to the club, if you make £50 that would be equivalent to £1250 through the mega store tills Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cumnockbear 2,446 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Fuck that, people should stand outside turnstiles every home game, everyone should make a £1 donation minimum that way for 18 home league games the club would receive circa £900k at least.

At least they sell gear in Rangers colours, and before anyone gives it red and black blah blah, you know fine well what i mean. As bad as Man U fans and their green and yellow or whatever the hell colour is spattered among the United colours, it's an embarassment.

They would much rather you bought their shit than walked by and went to the megastore and spent your cash there. If they didn't they wouldn't be stood outside selling their stuff. If we're going to greet about fake merch should we not greet about the stuff that doesn't even pretend to be putting something back in too?

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 So much old stuff I could re-introduce and sell on the streets outside Ibrox on match days. 6 packs of toilet rolls for celebrating goals, the old Union Jack painted crash helmets for when bits of stadium lighting fall or cellic fans start tumbling out the stands when we play them again, maybe even an updated version of the Scottish Protestant View.

TonyRice1872 105 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 My view is, that all of these unofficial side sellers harm our clubs official sellers around the stadium, who sell official rising stars lotto tickets (which help the youth system) & match programme sellers etc. Away with the unofficial ones and just buy scarves & pinbadges etc from the Official Megastore. (Obviously the store would be busy on matchdays but they could obviously put official distributors around the stadium). I bought a scarf once (and also one against Zenit and that was it) and you don't need to buy one before every match, you could also just buy your gear not on a matchday from the official store then take it on matchdays even via online order. I obviously don't think the unofficial sellers will stop trying to sell their stuff all around Ibrox unfortunately. I agree the red & black stuff is an eyesore, and making it not the same official colours at least of our club is an embarrassment. I think we could maybe do a lot better with what is being sold around matchdays, a good idea for me would be official club sellers doing kids and adults face painting of Union Jacks or Rangers badges even (within health and safety, and time, maybe with good paints that wash away easy, otherwise not a good idea) which could make tens of thousands of pounds every year. I don't have a child but would rather spend a fiver on facepainting every time rather than unofficial sellers. (if 8,000 faces were painted every matchday at £5 each, that would be £40,000 per match, it could be £20,000 profit every match who knows what the costs behind it are). Obviously we would need to make a conscious effort to fill every seat too instead of redirecting ticket money into this stream. We could bring the Rangers replica team bus mini models back into the store etc. so every young fan gets one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the red & black stuff is an eyesore, and making it not the same official colours at least of our club is an embarrassment. I agree, all those sellers in your first sentence add up to a lot of sellers. And you're right the red and black stuff is an eyesore, I'll probably go for black and red myself, plagarising the plagarists, do you think they'll notice ? Big Mikes lawyers have me worried though. Word on the street is they are unbeatable, but that wasn't the word on Edmiston Drive recently. For all i know big Mikey's probably in cohorts with admin on here and probably has all the user names like "tannerall"etc under his own copyright. Worrying times indeed, sooner he goes the better, it's not over until the fat man sings they say, but I don't even know if Mikey knows any of our songs.
