Surely anything profiting the club is better than nothing... What makes me laugh is we have fans buying fakes from amazon, surely a couple of quid is better than a lot of quids to a chinese guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is not just about the pennies we get it's also about the ££££'s that the fat rat who despises us and our club gets, you ok with that?

Last years accounts showed that we received £2.60 (before tax, approx £1.50 after) from each £10 spent on merchandise. No matter how certain individuals spin it, it generates more for the club than the 'alternate' merchandise does. bluewhitevanman, Bears r us, Scottywellhousetb and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_85 656 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 had a look online and it is not on either Greaves or DW Sports websites, SD website is showing it on their front page but then takes you to the Rangers section and the tops not their. The club must have sorted it so the top isn't released  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone should go for alternate merchandise. It's also clear that Rangers don't want fans to buy replica kit for a reason (probably to strengthen our side against Ashley). If you buy it, it's not to support the club, it's for selfish reasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 In my opinion after reading that statement the club can't make it any more clear without actually coming out and telling fans not to buy strips.

7troop 187 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Buying the kits under the current circumstances will make the club some money, agreed. However it's short term gain - long term loss. The deal we are currently signed to is shockingly bad and one sided in favour of a so called partner who exploited the club when it  needed help the most. The current custodians of our club have been trying to negotiate a better deal in the best interests of Rangers. Seeing as the deal is legally tied up their only real bargaining tool was the fans backing them up and not buying merchandise. If the fans ( as is their own free choice ) decide to purchase merchandise then the board will have no realistic chance of success. The board have much more details and knowledge on the matter than what we have and I for one fully support their stance on this matter.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGOH 2,344 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Do people still genuinely believe Ashley will loosen his grip of Rangers if fans don't buy the merch? It stopped being about money for him a long time ago...

Virtuoso 27,180 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 So we don't buy the merchandise, but due to how the contract is constructed, we're liable for unsold stock. Wonderful train of thought Too many people hanging on the shirt tails (no pun intended) of our so-called fans group spokespeople minstral and Perth_Campsie_Ger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
