albluenose1990 29 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Went on the tour on Saturday for the second time and took my mate along who's a Man City fan. Just wanted to say how such great value the tour is and how much I enjoyed it. From the video montage at the beginning, the murals in The Blue Room, to The Waddell Suite and the range of pictures, to the framed caps of many of the players and the trophy room of course. The trophy room is worth the £8 entry alone.My mate loved it as well and was chuffed to at least see a trophy room on this occasion as when we went on the City tour a couple of years ago there wasn't one. Definitely worth going on if your ever considering doing so or if your not get along anyway and you won't be dissapointed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Been on the tour twice. Every time I go back home now, I will take it. You always learn something. I haven't been on the Founders trail but will definitely go on that next time I'm home.And you're spot on mate... Our trophy room is amazing. Did you know that it is only 10% of our trophies? And the portrait of Mr. Struth -- says it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that too and often wondered where the rest were stored.It's always something that bothered me after Whyte selling the Arsenal shares etc.Maybe I am just to suspicious Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you leave with such a sense of pride of the club you support that few can compete with.I know.... whenever I think of the tour, I get pictures in my head of the trophy room. Some of the things in there... 'Plates' we have been given, the Loving Cup, the Bicycle, the history. Also love the Blue Room. Quite a bit of history there too. The portraits of the mangers are incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The portraits of the mangers are incredible.They are, as is the mural of the history of the club. From the Clyde in the 1800's, to the first stadium, onto Waddell and Cooper and the Ibrox of the modern day. Brilliant experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEARGER 339 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 http://www.thegallantpioneers.co.uk/These guys know more about the Rangers than the guide at Ibrox. Well worth doing this tour, includes the club Ibrox tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,971 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 http://www.thegallantpioneers.co.uk/These guys know more about the Rangers than the guide at Ibrox. Well worth doing this tour, includes the club Ibrox tour.Best value 5 and a half hours I've ever had for £17 or £18. £8 of that is for the Ibrox tour which is included. A great way to spend a day.

maxdoblo 26 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I done the founders trail last year and it was really good. The amount of places around Glasgow that have a Rangers connection is amazing.The amount of work and research those guys must have done is great. Great way to spend a day.
