Progres - Travel club day trip?
- Thread starter Bolt
- Start date
It was the last time so I reckon there will be something planned for it surely.

Hope so mate. I did think there would be some sort of statement today saying it was at least being looked into. Here’s hoping it is.
Should be one. Think it cost about £400 the last time.
Too much for me for this early in the competition.

Will be around that. To be honest even indirect flights seem to be around £300 so might not be a bad option for some

Emails out. No official trip
After discussions with our travel partner, Thomas Cook Sport, we are regrettably unable to offer supporters a dedicated match package round trip to Luxembourg for our next Europa League game due to both the limited availability of aircraft and the excessively high costs involved during the peak holiday season.

Dreadful
Edit. Still hilarious that Rangers still see fit to tell people what they can spend their money on.
400 500 600
There are still bears willing to pay for the day trip.
Daft. Same discussions about the same nonsense, year after year and it never changes.
Also seem to add a £1 web fee for the ‘free’ registration!

This is the first time they’ve ever charged £1 for registration is it? Shambles
Woeful.
SLO also providing bad information re getting a point of the last trip too.

Serious question.
There’s corporate bears permitted to pay to go on the official team flight.
Is that cost viewed as ‘excessive’ ?
Folk don’t pay £20 or even £50 a year for the travel club to email them saying ‘sorry no flight its too dear’
Do you need to pay for corporate hospitality at Ibrox to ‘be allowed’ to pay for a flight ?
We didnt pay £20 to have you act as our bank manager.
We paid £20 for you to provisionally arrange a flight and tell us the cost.
If folk pay it, the flight goes ahead.
Mugs.

Fucking ridiculous. The travel partnership is nothing other than a joke.

Yep, no point added to me either.
This summer the information provided by the SLO seems to almost entirely contradict the actions from the club.

No official trip,just had email from travel club,getting hacked right off with this pish
Absolutely ridiculous if they have put a £1 charge to register interest in buying a ticket. They simply can not be serious.

The points haven't been added at all though, so I'd have thought that'd have been an adequate enough measure?
I just can't believe that the TC yet again allowing fans to register interest instead of immediately opening sales channels. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see the value in the TC canvassing the support for interest and then limiting it to fans with a certain number of points - if they have an idea about the size of the allocation, start selling tickets to enough fans that'd sell out that allocation and then open it up to fans on other points if there's no demand.
I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt and suggest the £1 web fee has been added erroneously.

I agree this has to be addressed but why punish the fans that are going by charging a £1. It’s fúck all in the grand scheme of things especially when I’ve paid £350 for flights and hotel but I’d rather they went a different approach.
Why not reset someone’s points to zero if they are repeat offenders at this or kick them out of the travel club altogether.
Wouldn’t surprise me if this £1 charge (for what exactly?) wasn’t a breach of some sort of code or trading act.
I suspected at the time he was talking nonsense, so no surprise.

They have a cheek to charge to register an interest when they can’t provide a proper travel partner

Really dont get why we get fleeced £20 to join the travel club when most of the time all we get is an email to say they cant run a flight,ridiculous
Just registered and once u get through to checkout page you don’t get charged anything

It's the same situation every year with Tam Cook. I think the club go with them simply because they can sourcd the team an aircraft but to hell with the supporters. The issue is available aircraft due to the summer however they could run a flight, drop us off, pick up holidaymakers,quick turn around elsewhere and return to us later. The TC should be independent of the club at times imo although when you see Miles at Sports Options having difficulty you sometimes wonder.
Here we go again, what a fucking shambles.

Points to be addressed.
1. Points. Fans were emailed and told they were unsuccessful for Gibraltar, points were not added.
2. Web sales. Fans reporting £1 fee on website to register interest.
3. Official flight. Fans do not pay £20 (or £50) to join a travel club to be told ‘we arent running a flight its too expensive for you’. Lots of things in life are expensive, we are not paying you to decide what we can and cannot afford. We are however paying for you to run a travel club and fail to provisionally book planes and let actual demand decide whether its a goer.
It never changes, year on year, same folk doing the same inept things.

This is exactly the type of thing we should be getting info from the SLO on. I am sure he will take this onboard
The £1 charge is not on your order history but states on the email.

I was charged it.
I 100% didn't get charged and my email doesn't mention anything about it.

I really think people need to be realistic , it was always going to be unlikely they’d be running day trips
Thomas Cook ain’t exactly is great financial health at the moment , I doubt they are going to waste time booking a flight which no doubt would then be cancelled when folk ain’t going to pay £500+ to go Luxembourg (especially when people were there 2 year ago
People are also getting confused , the TC membership fee is for the administration of the scheme ,giving the right to apply for away euro tickets tickets , not as a guarantee on flights
lets not forget ALL away game tickets cost Rangers Fc money to administer , it’s a loss making exercise for the club , so away European tickets , the £20 is nowhere near going to cover the time & resources that this extra facility takes up

I didn’t get charged and I have the confirmation email that I’m registered.
In regards to the day trip, as said above I think it’s laughable that the ticket office decide what fans are willing to pay without giving the option. The thomas cook partnership is a disgrace but the club don’t seem to care

A Travel Partner that cannot arrange travel? No wonder they are going bust!

Heres some realism. If thomas cook are struggling & continually fail to offer us flight options then they must be binned pronto & replaced with a company fit for purpose.
