showtime69 514 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 sounds like the scottish cup day was some sort of competition prize that your son won, i would guess thats why eveything was free and whatever.this 100 quid number is fair enough if its going to the players bevvy kitty, i read each player will have a wee mascot infront of them as they walk out so they can bump the kitty up to 2200 quid....at the end of the day if you think its a rip off dont pay it.

showtime69 514 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 looks like 100 quid is cheap, they should bump it up......http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2013/09/20/scotlands-top-football-clubs-have-been-criticised-for-charging-up-to-450-for-children-to-be-match-day-mascots/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/18/premier-league-clubs-charge-600-children-mascots Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to know if anyone who has had a kid as a mascot has ever had to pay for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a game with only 4 confirmed ex players at an amateur stadium with players they don't even know who they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to tell my bird that it's just a bunch of skint ex players trying to make a few quid by ripping off people who think that they're actually going to see an old firm legends game. I wouldn't class 4 ex players as a legends game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a standard rough price, then am cool with it. But I think the price is too much for something like this. I could take my whole family on the founders trail and get a tour of Ibrox for less than what this is going to cost for one child. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it's a decent price then pay it, If you don't then don't. Why do you need other people to tell you if it's a decent price or not, can't you decide for yourself? For some people 100 quid is a lot of money and for others it isn't, so it's all relative.When your kid asks you to buy them a cone at the park, before buying it do you take a quick consensus round the park to see if anyone thinks that adding a flake for 60p is a rip off?

The Hammer 11 2,575 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I thought you had to be in the teddy bears club to be an official mascot your name had to come out in the draw. Take it this games isn't being organised by rangers or Celtic and is just being organised by ex players to make a few bob.It will be hard to get a standard price from someone mate as I don't think there is any continuity with shit like this and who organises it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought too. That's why I was surprised to see those prices in the newspaper articles.Maybe some are raffled out to the Teddy Bears Club, or to competition winners etc, and maybe some of the more prestigious games are available to buy, which would be a good compromise. I dunno. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno.You do need to be in the teddy bears club to be a mascot for Rangers. They draw names out in a raffle. As for the more prestigious games, my oldest got his name pulled out for the Scottish Cup Final, so I don't think we charge for any games. It used to be that way anyway, but that was before all the boardroom shite started. Dunno if it's changed now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
