It is common in England and probably older Scots Rangers supporters that had an affiliation with RFC & Arsenal via Bill Struth. 16BlueSherbert90 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a couple of older family members in England that are West Ham(The Hammers/The Irons) supporters. Would it be fair to assume there are quite a few clubs that would have had "the" thrown in back in the older generation days? Going on other suggestions. It's nice to read someone passing sensible replies for a refreshing change. Always decent to have a proper conversation around here like you would if you were in a pub before a game:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always decent to have a proper conversation around here like you would if you were in a pub before a game:) I've only ever heard of The Rangers & The Arsenal. My Dad born 1920, & my Grandad referred to The Arsenal and obviously The Rangers as most Rangers supporters of the day supported Arsenal as their English team, because of Bill Struth and him leading Rangers to become the top institution in Britain. Perhaps Arsenal were 2nd, not sure though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because in those days we didn't need a badge on our shirts to let others know who we were. IIRC the only time a badge was on the shirt was for cup finals.
