LochendBilly 8,409 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I know you did when you bought a debenture years ago, unsure now though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,524 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm sure the scheme doesn't exist any more. Was a Club Deck debenture thing which was later extended to all ST holders elsewhere. Hasn't been available for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Stangely enough, my old seat used to have my name on it, but it had it before I had the seat, the guy who used to have the seat just happened to have the same first and last name and middle initial as me, how mad is that? what makes this story slightly less interesting is the fact I made it up. Dunno why names are on the seats always wondered myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxholm 2,260 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It was a Murray scam to get extra money in in the early 90s. Think it was called 'Ready for the Future' but may be wrong on that. You had to pay an extra amount in addition to your season ticket and for that you got a name tag on your seat and the right to buy a season ticket for that seat for life or some defined period. I think the latter 'right' only applied if you continued to buy your season ticket each season - so really didn't give you anything over and above that of normal season ticket holder having first dibs on repurchasing his seat each year. it was a follow up on a previous scheme to get money into the club called Club 2000. That had you paying your season ticket money x 2, and for that you got 10pc discount on your season ticket price for next 10years and various other club merchandise discounts. Wasn't bad value that one but no name tag on seat. Always wondered why our various boards over the last few years didn't come up with similar schemes to get ready money in when we were cash-strapped.

thebluedoo 2,652 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I had the weird situation last year where me and my wife had got tickets to sit in the main stand beside the directors box, we were sitting in our seat when a man approached and asked if he and his friend could sit in our seats as he had been a season ticket holder for years and his name was on the back of it. Nice big fella that explained he had moved to the states years earlier in order to set up his business, to be fair we may scoff but this guy was pretty emotional about the whole thing ( it clearly meant a great deal to him ) anyway we took pictures and my wife emailed them to him and received a very nicely worded thank you from his daughter. For me it was another reminder ( if any one was needed ) how deep our emotions run when it comes to all things Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were possibly his long lost love child by some strange twist of fate unwittingly sitting in Daddy's seat. Then you had to ruin it with all your reality pish!

JohnH 270 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It was a scheme launched in 1994 or 95 called "Ready for the Future" where if you gave them 400 quid (I think from memory), you got your name on your seat and a ten percent discount for your season ticket for 10 years. My name is on a seat in CF3 seat G90 I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCutch 4,340 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I am very back row of CF5 mate. Next to the exit at the top of one of those little staircases. Absolutely perfect for a hassle free view. Unless I end up with a mentalist taking the seat to my left for the coming season that is. @Rfc52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
