BCLoyal9 53 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 That this has went on sale without a word from the Club gives me a bad feeling that no agreement has been reached. We need an update asap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against every fans wishes, but it's for the greater good All im saying is, lets draw a line under this sports direct crap. Us boycotting his shops isnt going to change one thing. Ashleys making £3million a day from Sports Direct. This deal is short change to him. King and co have exercised our right to end the contract, which will take another 6 years notice i believe. Whether its right or wrong, thats the nature of the contract. Anyone can see that contracts crooked, and totally unjust. Ashley will get whats coming to him. The government are on his case about paying below the minimum wage, working conditions, etc. Id like to just see fans going out and buying the top for their sons, daughters, nephews. Let the fans wear the top with pride, forget about the politics in this instance. It was the highlight of my summer pre ordering the new top. Wearing it every day, getting it washed every night and dried for the morning to wear again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the price in sports direct for tops as well? £60 is ridiculous for what essentially is a shitty quality t shirt. Even though it is a smart top. Can buy a nice Paul Smith polo or something for that kind of £. L Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,484 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah football strips have gotten way too expensive these days. Used to be £40 a couple season ago then went 50 now 60 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be £40 a couple season ago then went 50 now 60 The increase in price represents £1.60 to the club yrs ago and £2.40 at today's prices. Its a 50% increase in income from shirt sales. No other club could secure such a lucrative deal. We'll do very well at these prices Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott1872 862 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'll buy the rangers top every season, I want that badge above my heart. The deal is horrible but if Rangers get a cut from it then least it's something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazz1972 397 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 If Mediums and Large have sold out already that makes me think they must be testing demand first before making in bulk. Obviously all the talk of boycotting the new kits there's no point in producing 10s of thousands that no one will buy. Probably wee batches at a time so they're not left with loads of stock. Am I right in saying that Rangers were accountable for costs of unsold shirts in this current deal? Thought I read something along those lines a while back.

William McBeath 2,154 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 7 year deal. If we can't change that in some way then the guy has us beat. Can't ask a whole generation of wee bears to go without their Rangers strips. The club need to get the word out on their plans. I thought we'd withdrawn the rights of this lot to use our badge? Anybody update me so I don't need to go through the whole thread for the answer? Nice bit of kit too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was up to a certain amount although not sure if it's the club who gets to set the number or if it's down to the board of RFC Retail each year.

You don't care about the boards stance or their efforts to get a better deal. You want your new t-shirt and that's all that matters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right in saying that which is why I believe the club have not ordered any to be sold in the mega store therefore there can't be a shortfall in numbers should we fail to hit any targets.

PRW. 5,631 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The kits will not be on sale from Rangers. Good move. Ashley isn't going to change or rip up the deal if he is making decent money from it. This way he has no option but to negotiate it with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Did I see someone say £60? £60 for a football top? Jesus fucking Christ. If that's an accurate figure, then the world has gone mad. Football is being taken away from the average punter. I don't buy the tops, but what about a father of two who wants to pick himself up one, plus his two boys? Mental and unfair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm no paying £60 for it. Tops are £45 at the most when I get them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
