Rangers' own club photographer will be there anyway and external outlets won't pay to use those (most already pay for extensive photo library access/hire their own snappers). Preventing others from doing it I mean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it does is stop photographers selling photos to papers/websites. It's not going to lead to outlets buying them direct from Rangers. That just cuts the exposure we have and reduces income from sponsors who pay to have their logo seen in as many places as possible. gmcf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d assume the club will have plans to sell match images, or include them in the £25k fee? Edit: not saying it’s right btw. Just playing devils advocate.

Edit: not saying it’s right btw. Just playing devils advocate. Unless the club plan to sell them as part of access to exisiting libraries, nobody is going to pay for them. Papers already pay something like 100k for access to the likes of Getty. 25k includes a photographer. 10k (no photographer) doesn't include access to Rangers' photos. Rangers actually use external libraries themselves for some pics too although majority are done in-house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 30,514 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 We are playing the biggest club in world football in a weeks time and as it stands there won't be any option for syndicated photos for the foreign press?

For all the talk of 'commercialising the club' Arsenal sell their photos to Getty and make money from them, including around 100 from yesterday.

Appreciate that you might be more connected that some on here, but surely you don’t know the ins and outs of any commercialisation strategy and what that looks like in the medium to long term? You’re awful quick to say how shite everything is in this area, with (I’m assuming) not knowing the clubs plan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
