Ah right I wasn't aware you spoke for other fans or if you bought anything from the shop it means you are for the deal or that by not buying from the shop means the deal will end.

Silly me eh I don't speak for other fans. That was a mistake on my part. What I'm saying is that the best course of action for fans to take if we want the deal to end is to not buy the official (Sports Direct Owned) merchandise. If the number of shirts sold is extremely low it gives us a greater chance of getting the deal to end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with low merchandise sales he doesn't lose anything the deal is costing him nothing at the end of the day.  I've not bought our tops or that for a couple of seasons btw but I'm not boycotting I've just not needed anything.

Guest Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The shirt sales were never going to be that high anyway, and they wont be that high with the next deal either unless the price is vastly reduced. Id bet plenty of folk saying "I wont be buying a top" wouldnt have bought one anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso is King 64 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 You are right. I shouldn't be speaking on anyone's behalf. It's just clear to me that it is detrimental. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I d expect SD cares more about spreading their brand through Rangers than they would from shirt sales, apart from the 2012 top the amount of tops you see is a lot less than it was a decade ago,even before SD. How much profit is there to be made from shirt sales? And Sports Directs name has been in the paper a lot more since these groups started their daft protests, theyre holding up signs with the Sports Direct logo on them, and everyone knows all publicity is good publicity. The board could have delt with this as quickly and quietly as possible in a way that they think benefits us. But we will be associated with SD for years now even after the deal is done Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 So selling fake gear is cool as long as you're definitely pocketing 100% of the proceeds. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Loads of caveats Cool if you say some profits are used to purchase things off the club Cool if you are straight up and don't claim to be doing x, y, or z with the profits. basically it is fine whatever you want to do, as long as money ends up in someone's back pocket, and not donated to the club.

Guest Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 If its cool as long as no money is donated to the Club then I might actually buy one of the SOS or RST tops since none of that money is being donated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
