I’m happy with that statement, only slight tinge of disappointment, could they have called fat man out for his ‘exclusive’ claim?
Wonder why you ”fell” that .....Due to the statement confirming sports direct and castore working together, even after castore had the cheek to previously laugh off any involvement with SD, I have tonight taken the tough decision to cancel my order. This was not an easy choice but one I fell is a must

The Rangers store at Ibrox will stock it, as will other retail outletsThe statement makes sense that we are in a better place with a far better deal but the exclusive part of the sports direct post still unsettles me
In my eyes sports direct are going to be the 1st store and possibly the only store to stock the new kit on the shelves come the release on August 1st
Theres no way they would post that without it being a fact
only if someone buys one. Why are so many making a mountain out of a molehillUnfortunately, SD will make money by selling our jerseys, that's just a fact.
They do sell underarmour stuff which is quite good, along with every other big sports brand. We had a long drawn out legal battle with them, which is now over.why would a company who wants to be "premium sportswear" have a shithouse like SD selling their stuff? It makes no sense. I fear there is more to this than what we have just been told

The club will also make the money before he makes any profit he's taking the risk by purchasing stockUnfortunately, SD will make money by selling our jerseys, that's just a fact.
Not convinced tbh, something reeks.
You’re absolutely beyond stupid then.
Makes no sense, but okDue to the statement confirming sports direct and castore working together, even after castore had the cheek to previously laugh off any involvement with SD, I have tonight taken the tough decision to cancel my order. This was not an easy choice but one I fell is a must
There is nothing normal about dealing with them. They'll be cunts about it, without a single shred of doubt.A small part of me through gritted teeth tries to see the side of this that the sale of our shirts in the stores of whomever buys stock from us at a reasonable rate etc is part of the normalisation of our retail arm.
Near enough every other part wants our stuff nowhere near him.
Yep, there is more to thisNot convinced tbh, something reeks.
No I blame castore for being over greedy .They will only benefit if our supporters buy from them. If that happens, I don't think the blame lies with the club.

We haven’t been stiffed, get a grip and try and enjoy the news we’ve sold 40k plus today!Exactly, all these panty wetter comments are out of order, have they been living in a different world over the last 7 or 8 years?
We have been stiffed by SD before, no wonder there was a reaction.
Yep, there is more to this
It sold its clothing range in one of londons premier stores and not cheap may i addMate an up and coming sportswear company simply can't not deal with the biggest sports retailer on the high street, it was never going to happen
Castore have to make partnership with retailers if they want to succeed in the football market. What happened between us and SD doesn’t concern them, it’s their business who they sell to.It is a simple case of Castore just selling to retailers to maximise both theirs and our profits. By not purchasing from SD they'll be buying stock which we profit from and they won't be able to sell losing them money, win win in my eyes.

I agree. If you are trying to build a high end brand, as Castore are, then the last place you want to be associated with is Sports Direct. It flies in the face of their strategy and devalues their product. Anyone paying £160 for a hoodie, doesn’t want to see it next to the Lonsdale & Donnay gear.
Something stinks here.
A football top isnt a high end item, this is castores first real step into this kind of market place. Alienating the UK biggest sports retailer when your trying to test a market and make money isnt a smart business move.
We all hate Ashley but Castore job is to make money.
I’m 48 mate I’ve been collecting the strips for years wear them to games when I go or playing football or around the house, you’re never too oldCan’t wait for the polo tops to be released. Feeling a bit old now to wear a team top.
Indeed mate. As long as we get the same money from shirts sold through Sports Direct stores then it's good for me,as much as I hate Ashley and everything he stands for. It presents our kit to a much wider market so makes sense commercially.Can you buy from the club/castore directly? Yes
Do we have the store back? Yes
Do we get all money entitled from every shirt? Yes
That's all that matters for me
I never said we had been So calm down.We haven’t been stiffed, get a grip and try and enjoy the news we’ve sold 40k plus today!
The legal case never disappeared for nothing.Absolutely love folk pretending they expected SD to still be selling our strips.
Course you did.
Because its a jumble sale, and is for the lowest kind of denominator of people.. castore ,was in beside the best clothing designer ranges in the world in selfridges. Now it will be on racks beside donney, patrick, slazenger and karimor.. bit of a step down..
Its some laugh watching you wiggle about trying to pretend you knew SD would be stocking our stuff, and your absolutely fine with it.Can’t get me head round how daft people are that would think Castore wouldn’t sell strips to the biggest sports retailer in the UK.
I’ve read folk saying ‘oh well Adidas have pulled back from them’, aye, maybe they can but Castore are just starting out and people are doolally if they think they will cut off all ties with SD on Rangers behalf, they want to make it in football and take on the bigger brands, you don’t do that by cutting off your nose to spite your face.
There’s staunch and then there’s just stupid.Due to the statement confirming sports direct and castore working together, even after castore had the cheek to previously laugh off any involvement with SD, I have tonight taken the tough decision to cancel my order.

In my eyes they are still benefiting from our badge and our club......albeit it would need to take a moron to buy from SD.
I just hate that it took for the nonsense from that fat pie for the club/castore to say anything.
That shop should not be selling anything to do with our club and that's how it was told to us when the legal battle ended.
Could have addressed the exclusive and the video.
Statement just seems to skim over the issue inbetween a few paragraphs. It's not been really addressed fully for me
I don't understand why the club cant just come out and say, "we have no further connection with SD".
For some reason they have avoided doing this. We know we are in a partnership with Castore, but that doesnt mean we dont also have an ongoing deal with Ashley as well. Why on earth would Rangers (or Castore for that matter) want SD stocking the kit? I thought part of this deal with Castore was about expanding online retail and opening a small number of stores?
If SD can offer the kit as well, they will likely sell it cheaper which means a lot of people will buy it there regardless, benefitting Ashley. Whereas, if you can only buy it through Rangers or Castore the profit is higher. It feels like we've been a little bit misled.

You are right, but I was indeed naive enough to think that in all honesty.The legal case never disappeared for nothing.
If folk are niaive enough to think that we would be able to walk away from any sort of involvement from SD then they need to give themselves a shake.
