Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Buy the fucking top and get the kids wearing them. Rangers will be here long after King Houston and the other clowns are long gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfc_watp 1,503 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Probably seen in excess of 10 manky tops today ranging from in work to driving about visiting for Fathers day. Young and old. Not one single Rangers top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no it's not a tarrier school. So they went from supporting us to officially never being a supporter of any club ever again. When you change your team you lose the right to support anyone in my opinion, including the club you started at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxholm 2,291 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Taking to some 'lapsed' Rangers fans in my work, their kids are all wearing Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea strips. Clearly, the success and high profile of these teams on tv is the main driving factor but modern day political correctness and the associated negative press against our team also seems to be becoming an issue.

I don't think the negative press that our support gets will ever have a real impact on our club gaining supporters. The shite football in Scotland is the only issue we have imo. This club will always get supporters as most of the support comes from the PUL community, even if some don't want to accept that. Our support for the most part is gained by families passing it down through generations. We're never going to gain many fans through the quality of football nowadays unfortunately, no matter how "politically correct" we could become.

scottyscott1963 18,617 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Was at a nieces wedding about 10 year ago and was out for a smoke,got to talking with this prick who belonged to Ayr who said he "used to support killie till he found his way to paradise" says me flicking my fag away and saying as venomous as I could "that sounds just like the thing a fucking 5 year old girl would do" and walked away looking the tramp in the eye. Every time I went out for a smoke after that he was out like a shot hoping to wind me up and maybe even like to give me a slap ,but!!!! he ended up fuckin squirming with envy he wasn't a Proud Prod,and not worried by a scabby cunt who would jump sides at 25 years of age.

Actually noticing a lot of Man City fans popping up now too which was to be expected but always confuses me that someone has either changed club or hasn't had a club right up until very recently. I knew 1 City fan before they started winning things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a guy in Bangor last summer with a Leicester City top on he was a local ffs.My dad founded the first Rangers supporters club here in Bangor 1970 by the mid 90s there were 3 supporters clubs...back down to one again.Leeds by the way have a big following over here,especially in North Down. When I had my bar you would get a sizable crowd in to watch Rangers games..Liverpool or United the place was crammed Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I can see the point if they don't have a father figure to guide them in right direction. But to have it turn full circle compared to when I was at school I only had 1 tarrier in my class growing up at a non-denominational school is not right. I have thought about it..... Do you think it's maybe to do with parents not arsed about taking they're kids to a school and not caring as much about what the school preaches/doesn't preach ? unlike in my days in most cases you where a tarrier or Protestant and therefore you went to the relevant school. In which case that would mean that tarrier schools would most likely have handful of bears in each class ? Fuckin no chance !

Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Dont think we can use a shite standard of football as an excuse. Doesnt stop the young ones wearing smeltic tops. The biggest reason is the boycott, along with the negative press and the fact rangers have been shite for the best part of 6 years. My youngest is 1 in august so i hope there is a new strip out by then i can get him. We are going a december holiday this year, i will make sure my 2 boys only have rangers tops Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
