So aren’t allowed to have an opinion unless it’s lapping up everything that the club does?? You want brand awareness, get the first team out there playing games, get the tops in the local sports retailers at the same. Have the Captain of the national side to do a tour during the summer maybe with the manager. Thats brand awareness. Do you really think that having our first team play a couple of forgettable pre-season friendlies against local sides will have more of a lasting impact than getting hundreds of young “soccer” fans each year to put on our kit, train with our coaches, and learn to associate the sport itself with our club? I don’t. VentyFour 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is asking anyone to lap anything up but I think sometimes people could be more positive when the club try to expand our commercial arm. We've talked for years about how the club needs to up it's game in this area and whilst this is a small step, you shouldn't deride it because you don't see the benefits. Two of the three things you've mentioned there will cost a lot more money than what we're doing here and the club already played in America in Jan last year so they're already checking boxes of your marketing strategy .

So don't think it will do much for our reputation. Could possibly find a gem in their youths though. Hopefully better than our last two signings from Canada though. Like Scott Arfield? ?

I don't understand why you're so negative about this. Because it’s never worked at any club we have tried it with in the past. That simple.

The point of these soccer schools is to raise awareness among youngsters. Also just because someone has heard of a brand doesn't mean they'll subscribe to it, brand awareness doesn't just mean you know what the brand is - it's about affiliation and buying into it (literally). So just because you've heard of Rangers it doesn't mean you'll give two shits about them but by taking your brand/product to people then you create buy in and support. I'm not sure if you job has anything to do with this, but I deal with this daily. Believe me, if the figures are reasonable it's worth it. National Team Captain, how much more brand awareness do you want. Any kid that’s in these tie ups is only interested in one thing when do we get to meet the players. So scrap the pointless tie up that has never produced anything in the past or ever will in the future and get the first team out there meeting and greeting. Here endth the lesson.

I don’t. Yes. You want a young kid to buy a Rangers top after the soccer school has left town get Stevie G and the Captain of his National side shaking hands with them. Let them have a training session with the players, get them hooked up with the club through social media have a Q&A once a month with a player That gets them involved, the usual tie with a training session with a coach they have never heard of then will never see again is pointless. If your so confident it will do anything give me one example of it working in the past?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to tie up with a club in a country that’s not really heard of Rangers before then I could maybe see the point. If we are to believe this brand awareness clap trap Its Canada ffs, if you don’t have Scottish or French ancestors your a native Canadian. You’re a right grumpy cnut the day Courtyard ?

We have one of the most recognisable faces in world football and the national team captain. That will get folk interested in Rangers, as for brand awareness it would also help if we had any brand to sell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
