Tumshie 205 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 My dad was at the Weidenbruck game last night. Was speaking to a guy who has only missed two games (including pre-season friendlies) in 33 YEARS. I thought I was doing well with my season ticket, away games and the odd European away game. The dedication of some of our fans should be recognised by the club rather than focus on negative headlines that the media seem intent to write Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudrupforever 17 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 You're asking a lot mate, any sort of pro-Rangers article in the mhedia will be a long way off. Great to see that fans like that are getting recognition, even if it is only on RM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are guys i know who haven't missed games in 40 years ...some even more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamteuchter 1 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 i wish i could afford to get to every game. They must have to sacrifice a lot to follow like that and my hat goes off to them. Wish the fans that leave at 75 minutes would offer a bit more. Maybe even just 15 minutes more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minstral 5,375 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Good luck to fans that have money and are able to do so, but there is lots of fans who are now priced out of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimenez 1 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Some supporters dedication to the cause is unreal, christ knows what their wives think about it all If I had the money I'd love to follow follow the bears everywhere but until I win the lottery it's a case of getting to as many as possible.

j1mgg 3,766 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thas pretty amazing..but how does the guy make his work...??? He uses basically all his holidays on going to these pre season trips then european trips it may be a half day here and a hlaf day there and basically into the country, watch the game, and back out. I wouldnt do it but it is his thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunnyLoyal 1,136 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 There is so many true blue's out there, I very rarely miss a game anywhere but I know a few guys that never miss any games and I take my hat off to them, they are doing what I dream to do. If I had 2 weeks more holiday a year I would be sound for every game but that's what fucks me for pre season tours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dedication of some of our fans should be recognised by the club rather than focus on negative headlines that the media seem intent to write Does this guy run an east end supporters bus? If he does, he doesn't work and the guy really is dedicated to the cause. One of my mates hasn't missed a game since a 2-2 draw at Easter Road in 1996 and I thought I was doing well not missing a game is nearly two years.

david271994 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I have not missed a game in about 9 months in scotland but will miss the Man City friendly but will be back for every SPL game this season. Would love to male every game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamteuchter 1 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Good luck to fans that have money and are able to do so, but there is lots of fans who are now priced out of football. Absolutely.. I think we should take a look at the German teams. They have much larger stadiums but the prices are much much lower than here. Surely we would get 80,000 at games if the tickets were priced like our German brothers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

4boysandabaw 3 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 My Rangers heroes are not players officials or high heid yins, its the fans. Such as Margaret Ferguson from Falkirk who at christmas 1970 went to Colin Steins house in Livingston to give him a doll she had made for his new born daughter. Margaret died on stairway 13 a wek later . I salute margaret Ferguson she is a personification of the Spirit of Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish the fans that leave at 75 minutes would offer a bit more. Maybe even just 15 minutes more. I hate it when people leave early but it happens every where sometimes people have plans and have to leave but I say never leave if the game is still in the balance andf the team needs your support.
