norniron1992 61 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Crazy really, don't know how many of those are real fans, but I'm sure Rangers wouldn't pass up the chance to have a few of those millions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz 306 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 That's bullshit. A wee boy with a Man United top in Beijing isn't a fan, he's someone who buys it as a fashion accessory.For the record:Total number of worldwide supporters clubs.Rangers: Over 600MUFC: Over 200Largest travelling support in history: Rangers, with 200,000 to Manchester. Worth noting that three years later, United couldn't manage a fraction of that.Who's the big club again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz 306 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 That's fecking impressive. I already knew we had a good few but that's mental.Aye, it's worldwide as well. We underestimate just how big a club we are sometimes. No denying that Manchester United are more reputable though, however that's primarily due to overseas TV deals and better marketing. Very little to do with the history of the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
