Ways to increase revenue

Could Ibrox be used as a concert venue during the off season?

It has before. No reason why it can't be again.

Never understood why we haven't went for the Champions league Final or UEFA cup final before.

Some of these suggestions are top notch.

What can we do bar sell merchandise and tickets?

I suggested a Rangers branded beer which if tasted decent would sell for fun. What can we do to make more money?

- Big bouncy castle outside Ibrox- Charge the kids £2 to do the bouncy with broxi for a minute.

- Have a paintball zone near Ibrox only blue red and white paint is allowed. Teams of 30 v 30 charge a good few quid.

- Charge fans to loan a walkie talkie for the match so they can contact the UB or BO to start a song of their choice. Radio in your favourite song eg Fan in club deck: Barcelona 1972 do you copy. UB Commander: Copy fellow bear lets get this going.

-Blue cheese pizza - bit different from normal pies and burgers.

- Half time sprint. 40 fans run length of the pitch. Fans can bet on the winner. Good cash for the club

Walkie talkie idea is the best You've came up with.

papa bear for rubber duckie Can I get a request when this song is over?

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

Fine people for not singing.

govan front would be bankrupt!

[Guardian 4,281]

Fiver to join and a penny a post on here.

Each time Rangers make the news, the team gets another million from the Declans joining up to tell us about something bad they've heard about and want to tell us

If you move quick, you'll get it organised before they strt on the new CEO's links to Craig Whyte.

• Open a huge 'Showcase Store' on a brown-field site with immediate proximity to Ibrox. The "store" won't actually sell anything at all but Rangers invite all brands, companies and corporations to showcase their produce within the 'store' an charge the companies a fee for this opportunity, the idea is that rather than sell the goods, the customer can come to the store to see all the latest and most popular products in the UK, by scanning the barcode or whatever the customer can search for the cheapest online price on their mobile. As this store would not hold products more than a little above eye level, the store wouldn't need to be that tall (i.e. like a warehouse) unless you had multiple floors or you introduce a second floor store/business of some description. The draw for companies would be that Rangers could guarantee that 50,000 people would be near the store every 2nd week. Alternatively Rangers could do this venture in a better location and also feature Rangers products within it.
  
• Clean up a brown-field site within close proximity to Ibrox and open a Shipping-Container hotel, the idea is taken from the Chinese whom convert shipping containers in homes/work-digs. This is something being took up by the YMCA in London as a solution to affordable housing with a view to helping people out of crime and poverty. The standard of finish that can be achieved is very high and very practical. The cost of containers brought over from China is £20,000 per container however I fail to understand why this is so expensive, we could readily do this ourselves with local resources at reduced cost. The concept is that Rangers turn a nearby site into a Container-Hotel where Rangers fans can crash for say £75 for a week (taken as the price quoted by the YMCA). The site would be fenced off with a security-guard at the gate. As many people would perhaps only want to spend a night the rates could be very reasonable and in turn the scheme could prove very popular, the business could be supplemented by the sheer volume of people that might consider taking up full time residency with a view to Independence from their current situation while being able to afford it.
  
• There are literally tens of Dozens of clubs worldwide that share their name or badge in some sense with Rangers, we also have several clubs with somewhat of an affinity with ourselves. Purely to increase brand exposure we should tie up a deal where each of these clubs sell our merchandise in exchange for the same at Rangers stores. The merchandise could be tailored to suit the regions and clubs that we will be in partnership with and while unlikely to see a serious profit, the exposure of the club would increase in pockets around the globe overnight.
  
• Buy 1 talented Indian International and one talented Chinese international, at the very least make sure they will become internationals talent wise. On doing this with first team positions in mind for them we open a Rangers Store in their home town and in the capital of both countries, we tie up a tv deal to have our games shown in the places and we advertise that one of their boys is playing for the most successful domestic club in the world. We could have 2 from each country and while one plays for us here, the other plays friendly tour games with a "b" team against local sides with mobile club shops alongside to increase the visability and knowledge of our club.
  
• Have a permanent Rangers legends team playing around the home towns of the players we feature, i.e. when we feature Laudrup we have our legends play in his hometown in Denmark for example. This would be a permanent things and in turn would require high profile players to feed the legends team. Mobile club shop would be needed obviously and once again this perhaps wouldn't increase money, but it should at least work out somewhat self-sustaining while increasing our profile.
  
• Have limited edition tie-ups with products sold in food and drink, the world cup does it, the olympics does it, why not us with brands like Barrs? Make limited edition bottles of Irn Bru in connection with Rangers and sell them ONLY in Rangers heartlands, the price could include 10-p per bottle to the club, if done over a number of brands this could in theory make the club alot of money while actually increasing sales of the brands themselves.
  
• One for the future -Our youth players as part of their footballing apprenticeship with our club must learn, French, Russian, Spanish, German, Italian or Portuguese to increase their sale-ability on their rise through the club, their is not point in a producing academy if our players just won't move abroad for any length of time due to the language barrier. We are terrible at this in this country and this is needed if we are to punt to any of these leagues OR if we wish to get top dollar for OUR stars.
  
• Rangers could start a business approval scheme in a similar fashion to the Royal Family where by the club approves the use of a company or it's products based on the quality of it's service/product and on condition it features our name/logo around the business and/or they pay a levy for this fee,....could be worth alot of exposure and a healthy return if properly backed.
  
• Rangers offer to sponsor the teams in which the returns are financially viable, i.e. we could sponsor a well supported lower league English team while putting stores at their club and around their city, thus their support will support us as their "Scottish/big-team" as they probably don't like the idea of supporting bigger English sides as they are competition. If the side was struggling financially our sponsorship could win us new friends in England which is never a bad thing and the deal would at least mean Rangers have made a start on featuring in the English leagues?!
  
• Rangers invite Indian & Chinese film makers to Ibrox, all expenses paid, give them the VIP treatment then we offer free use of our properties to shoot films at during the Summer on condition they make reference to our Club by it's real name etc. If we had a Chinese or Indian Player he could feature in these films and the exposure of such a thing for us would be huge, we're talking billions of people. We feature as a set, the good-guys, the club making it's way to the top, the club overcoming adveristy, Slumdog Ranger?. Offer to host a Bollywood Premier in Ibrox. Get the biggest stars to be our best friends, the returns are self evident. Bollywood gets extra resources and friends in the West, we get extra exposure, fans, publicity, friends from their countries. If it became a popular thing we could perhaps sell the use of the facilities to the highest bidder. It might all sound far fetched but Bollywood has used corridors at Glasgow airport and places in Glasgow have been Philadelphia for Bradd Pitt and Halle Berry to stoat about.
  
• Create stores selling things online where the profits go straight to Rangers, it doesn't matter what it is - Tesco and Asda sell tyres for fuck sake.
  
• Create a deal where companies like British Airways, i.e. travel companies have our club badge/name & colours on 1 or 2 of their vehicles - would prove undoubtedly get us exposure, perhaps we could open up their services in our stores or feature their brand in a big way around the ground.
  
• Create a friendly where Canada, Australia or the US play Rangers to promote that these countries are descendants of ours and we wish to continue/strengthen the ties.
  

There's a few idea's off the top of my head.

Some thinking out the box there mate! I like it! We need someone who can think bigger than just beating Celtic equating to success! Some good ideas as well!
