I think it's not right at all, many fans are unable to attend games but can be the most passionate there is, does that make them not a true blue? Well my 2 boys play on a saturday one at 10/11 and the other at 2 which fucks me for going to most games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR1979 2,015 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I would say no but I don't have a season ticket at the moment. If I had a season ticket then I would say yes. Hope that clears it up for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camshy 812 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 No of course not, we would need a stadium that fits in a rather large number of people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,628 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Who cares who thinks you're a 'true' fan or not. You are the only person who truly knows the extent of your genuine passion for the club. I'll bet there's hundreds, maybe thousands of season ticket holders who go to the game, go home and get on with their life and are actually pretty apathetic, going to the games out of habit or from family tradition without being deeply invested. Then i'm also willing to bet there are thousand of supporters from all over the world who can't be at Ibrox every week but live and breathe Rangers. Everyone's circumstances are different.

Jakes Pal 5,769 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Silly question. I have been a Bear since my sperm days, spent the best part of my youth following Rangers home and away including Europe, spent the best part of adulthood including middle age following Rangers home and away including Europe, now watch Rangers on TV due to being a full time Carer. I get one day respite a month, once in a Blue Moon does that day include a Rangers match day, I go if I can get a ticket. If every true Ranger was able to turn up at Ibrox for every game we played there, we would need a stadium of a size that would defy the laws of physics and gravity to be able to accommodate them. Season ticket holders are great, they show their support up front, but you really do not need to be a season ticket holder to be a true Rangers fan.

The Widow's Son 399 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hope that this isn't the case. I haven't owned a season ticket ever (didn't have them for punters like me in the 1950's/1960's) and I've lived overseas for decades. Still follow, follow from 6,000+ miles away as best as I can.

Blue Blooded 100 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I have never had a season ticket, but have always had Rangers in my heart. Not only that, but in my whole life, I have probably only been to about 100 games. That said, I fully intend to go to a lot of games this coming season. I must admit that life has got int he way of being a football fan for me, and it became way down my list of priorities, but I have the time to go again, and although I tried to let football (and in particular, Rangers/Celtic)go, I have been drawn back in by social media. You just can't get away from it. I have many friends and acquaintances who are tims, and we have shown a mutual respect and kept a safe distance when discussing Old Firm stuff over the years! ie, we know the boundaries with each other, but latterly all I see is shite on fb slagging Rangers and 'liking' all conceivable Celtic groups imaginable, and it has gradually fired me up more and more to the point I feel more of a fan now than I have ever done in the last 30 years! So I am looking forward to reacquainting myself with Ibrox (Mecca) this year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenerife Bear 1,748 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 No. What a ridiculous question. This real Bear stuff is pathetic as well. We are all Bears and Bearettes, that is all that matters. Kings nonsense about fans and supporters as well was utter garbage. If football is your sport and Rangers are your team then you are a Rangers fan, as much as anyone else. We all then support the club in our way. So many things come into play, family, finance, where you live etc etc. No one is any more or less a fan than anyone else though. I know fans who live across the other side of the world and have ever set foot in Ibrox, or indeed Scotland, yet are still so passionate about this club the way we all are.

Murty 210 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 There's guys that have had a season ticket for years that just go along to have a moan for 90 minutes and then head up the road. Yes they pay their money but does that make them a better supporter than someone who maybe can't go to every game because of other commitments? I wouldn't say so.
