Also my Dad, uncle and sister all support them. They're always telling me that as a muslim of Pakistani background I shouldn't support Rangers because it's a racist team. mate fair play to you for bucking the trend in your household and supporting the most passionately followed club in the world. You chose right. Even when we're losing we're winning because 'they' will always be unwelcome misfits in a foreign land. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a start man, I don't get why people are so against this. Im not I just feel it’s a pointless idea to try and encourage different folk to come watch Rangers, and seems simply to tick some box that we trying to invlobe minority’s.

Don't get me wrong I don't think this gonna have a massive effect either, but I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that it influences a few people to go a game if they go on the tour, at which point they'll see that Rangers fans aren't the racists some people claim, then they might overhear people saying Rangers fans are racist or something they might correct them on it. Surely worth a try? literally not a downside to it. Inigo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one time a mhanky scum fan said to me Rangers are racist so a said they are not racist they invited me and all ma minority pals for a free tour and wee presentation at the end, whilst getting the freebies i wondered to myself why it was free just for me and my mates and that re-enforced my feelings of being hard done to, keeping the vicictimhood complex up, because why would they do it unless they had some guilt forced upon them by affirmative actions of the the pc brigade 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Wake up and see whats happening ffs. When we cant sell season tickets then i'll start worrying about hunting for new fans who dont give a fuck about us in the first place.

Exactly, not group identities, just a generation. Regardless of race, religion or culture. Just seeing people as humans not groups and giving freebies away to particular sections of society. A fairer society for all is what i'm told.... Gazzasleftfoot, dougie76 and Courtyard Bear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone grows up in a household where one the parents like football and support a team, you're also neglecting the fact that loads of people have a 2nd team who they like to see do well and regularly buy their tops/merch.

You see the club at it's centre is a football club it cared about its fans at one time, the players would join in with a sash bash I understand your point about it being more than a football club but as I have stated it's the fans that feel that way including myself. no offence but the club would drop you in a heart beat because of a sash bash why? Because of the image 20 30 year ago the club wouldn't bother now a days they would rather keep a minority happy than the majority.

The beggars are good at getting the positive PR out while we usually just go about our business and seek no credit publically, the club have realised that has to change to promote a more positive image of us being an all-inclusive club and I don't see a problem with it. sRcFoCt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
