Rangers Supporters Club

Jerry Gray5 said:The fact that this kind of Marketing even exists is an absolute disgrace. Just using the word MARKETING within supporter circles is embarrassing enough.
There are people out there who treat being part of the Ultras as something slightly more significant than just a logo on the back of a t-shirt they can flip for a profit.
Maybe one day people will actually grasp what a supporter movement is supposed to be about. Or maybe the greed for cash will just swallow the whole point of it all.

Keep the fans in your hearts, not just in your ads and videos!

Look, how exactly do you think we’re supposed to fund everything? The banners, the cards, the flag materials, the buses, the flights, the charters... You think it all just happens by magic? Everything costs money. If you don't think Marketing and membership dues should be a standard part of running a supporter group's budget, then you clearly think we can just do all of this for free. 🤷

The Ultras shop—how could you possibly forget about them? 😉

Do you honestly think there's any real money to be made off of that? ☕

edit...

The bottom line is that everything has to boil down to a self-sustaining model. Basically, fans fund the group, and in return, the group gives them something back. Maybe it’s improving the group's visual identity, organizing away game trips, or even investing in Marketing... I guess it’s either that positive loop or it’s just pure chaos. There isn't really a middle ground.

I actually have two black t-shirts featuring Glagolitic script 😬 one intended for my trip out east, and the other is a gift for a Filipino friend 😁

Honestly, I remember back when Gul and I used to sneak some weed during away games with the boys; we didn't give a damn. We’d just get high and head home. This current scene feels fake, almost like kids playing dress-up pretending they're actually living it. It all needs to be recalibrated.

Even more so from the 80s, but those guys have been R. I. P. for a long time now.😁😢

I just realized that this must be Drle 😲😳😍

Everything has a price tag. If you don't think marketing and membership dues should be a core part of a supporter group's budget, then you clearly think we can just conjure all of that out of thin air. 🤷

I thought you’d be the smart one. 🤷

I don't know how much you actually know about the situation, but if you do, then I honestly don't know what else there is to say.
It seems like you think being a Chicago Bulls fan is a full-time job, whereas for me... This is it. 😉

Jerry Gray5 said:I honestly thought you might be the one person here with some common sense 🤷

I'm not really sure how much you actually know about what's going on right now, but if you do, then I guess there isn't much left for me to say to you.
It seems like you view the Chicago Bulls fans as just some casual group, whereas for me, this is 😉

I don't know why you're talking such nonsense, especially since you'd probably be the first one crying on this forum if, say, the Kansas City Chiefs played against Manchester City and there wasn't a massive choreographed display in the stands...

Some idiot might try to prove a point right now, but not me. I'm heading out for a coffee. 🙂

Not sure how much you actually follow what's happening, but if you do, I'm at a loss for words.

Better to just shut the whole association down, go underground, and let the real ones crush everything in their path.😍

John Brown30 said:Honestly? It’s probably best to just shut the whole association down entirely. Why bother? Just go underground, operate off the grid, and let the real ones push through—crushing anyone who tries to get in the way. Is there any other way to actually get things done without all the noise? 😍

And they can go ahead and wear black for all I care. 🙂

The final photo 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

My heart just breaks for the people in this photo and that young man who passed away recently... those folks who live and breathe this team, giving everything they have even when things are falling apart. And then you get these greedy suits coming in and absolutely wrecking everything just to line their own pockets. It’s infuriating. Those fans are still holding it down for what’s left of the legacy, but honestly? They deserve so much better than this mess... 🙏
