Not when you can get the flags made for a fiver a go anyway. This is worse than his £5 entry fee to watch games.
After stating lots of times that he would never charge an entrance fee.

If that’s the case fair play to the guy, send me a donation link and I’ll fire across £.
His post was a dig at guys like me saying we actively look to slaughter you and your pub; I certainly don’t so it’s a lie
You think £55 is a reasonable price for something that costs a few quid to make?
Have you even read the thread?
I'm pretty sure it was established that these were around £34 to make and then the postage and VAT etc was added on?
Where are you getting your "made for a fiver a go" stuff from?
Your idea was to get your regulars who had no intention of going to away matches to sign up to your bus, more members in theory, and join the CCCS scheme to accumulate more then you could give them away.Can you show me where I ever slaughtered any RSC? I never took tickets away from other fans, I made sure that the ones that hardly missed a game got them.
So why does helping out an RSC collate information annoy you?
Do you think I should have distanced myself from an RSC using The Louden Name, Really, If you had a pub would you not let your regulars use your pub's name?
Message anyone on DHgate. They will be happy to oblige you.Is that an actual fact or are you spreading nonsense? Can you point me to the company that do embroided flags for £3, As I may have a big order
Cant believe some folk think the Rangers flags in our trophy room cost £3 to make, deary me, This thread is embarrassing and in truth is nothing more than a backlash for other reasons and for these posters to put the boot in.
Needs locked as its shameful.

The thread should remain as an example of just how eager some of us are to put the boot in.
Folk using this flag issue to bring up other personal issues they seem to have with The Louden.
People spreading outright lies about the cost of the flags, the quality etc.
Can someone correct me if any of the following is wrong:
The Louden had championship flags made for the pub that are replicas on the ones in Rangers' trophy room.
Many customers ask the management about the flags and enquire about getting one.
These flags normally cost £34 from the manufacturer.
Once the postage and vat is added The Louden can sell the flags for £55 and make £9 profit on each flag.
There are no companies who would embroider anything for £3.Re your interpretation of being fleeced, a dictionary definition is; to take someone’s money dishonestly, by charging too much money or cheating them.
I know there will be a million interpretations of that on the board.
The crux of the matter in this dispute is ‘do the flags cost £3 to make?’ One party says they don’t the other says they do. Who is right?
Seller prices the flags at £55 stating they only make single figure profits. Seller was challenged by someone saying the flags cost £3 to make, seller responds saying they don’t and the person should be ashamed. There was no response from the seller when the respondent made it known that they make the flags and know the cost. That seems suspicious. If I was the seller, I would be refuting everything and pass to my solicitor for advice, after all, my honesty and integrity is being questioned on a social media platform.
The simplest way the seller could prove the cost would be by providing a copy of the purchase invoice for the flags. That should be easy as it needs to be retained for HMRC purposes and would close the dispute.
If the flags really do cost £3 to make and are being sold for £55, that is shameful, what is also shameful is charging fellow fans £55 and others trying to justify the charge by saying ‘it’s business’ ‘seen a gap in the market’ ‘it’s not fleecing fans’ ‘you have a choice to buy it or not’ ‘no one is forcing you to buy it’ ad finitum.
I guess everyone supporting the £55 cost would be content if there was an 800% mark up on your home, car, clothes, food shopping, electronic purchases etc. I’d imagine that you would be as equally enthused and content if a family member (especially a son, daughter, nephew, niece) purchased a flag for £55 with you knowing the £3 cost price.
Show you a like for like product? He’s not even got one to show you get. He has a 2010 one ffs.I asked for a Embroidery company that sell replicas like we have in the trophy room.
Not some polyster flags from china, I can buy these outside the ground.
Once again show me a like for like product!
There are no companies who would embroider anything for £3.
Show you a like for like product? He’s not even got one to show you get. He has a 2010 one ffs.
If China can make high quality football replica tops for a tenner I’m sure they will manage to make an embroidered flag. He’s not hand making them out of of satin.
I said earlier in the thread what a comparable cost of a good flag or bannerette that was fully embroidered was. I’ll give a couple of examples now, just from a Google search of what’s online, as well as what I know from years in bands:Not when you can get the flags made for a fiver a go anyway. This is worse than his £5 entry fee to watch games.
m8 they are comparing them to polyester flags imported from china on DHgate. Its embarrassing.
But I agree it is now becoming funny and shows the mentality
Its simple, if you want one buy it. If you don't move on, whats the problem?
Yous go ahead and buy a few then. Anyone with half a brain can see it’s just his latest money making scheme to rip off supporters.
quick questionThe problem is the Louden are getting it hard from members on here who are comparing these flags with a chinese site who make polyster flags with anything you want printed on them with ink. lmao
And calling them like for like.
Doesn’t do himself any favoursGreg’s old man making his job and life 10x more difficult as usual
quick question
did you use to be in the RSA/Alliance or any other fan group
off topic i know but you ring a bell

"We’re a pub so affected more than most"
My post was about how easy it would be to circumvent the rulesYour idea was to get your regulars who had no intention of going to away matches to sign up to your bus, more members in theory, and join the CCCS scheme to accumulate more then you could give them away.
I remember the thread well, and your desperate attemps to justify what your plan was.
We are affected more than most as we don't sell food or do carry-outs. We were first closed and be last open"We’re a pub so affected more than most"
Absolutely no irony in him using the same excuse as the mahnks used for losing the league.
£55 what a rip off merchant
Then you will get the patter of Rangers pubs, use it or lose it.
Aye just dont use the ones that try to rip bears off

Anyone who actually thought I wanted 2000 names must be two shorts short of a picnic
No such thing as bad publicity, you would pay a PR firm for this level of Publicity so lads keep piling onI know, just cant let go. Like a dog with a bone.
no it wasn't man. You saw/read the backlash then changed your tune on it all.My post was about how easy it would be to circumvent the rules
Anyone who actually thought I wanted 2000 names must be two shorts short of a picnic
You are affected the same as any other pub that didnt sell food or carry outs.We are affected more than most as we don't sell food or do carry-outs. We were first closed and be last open
Anything else you fail to understand?
Your having a nightmare here mateMy post was about how easy it would be to circumvent the rules
Anyone who actually thought I wanted 2000 names must be two shorts short of a picnic
They already had most of their names, the Pub used to put on two buses for Hampden and it was the people off them that wanted to start an RSC2000 was obviously said in jest but you collected enough names to ensure you achieved the requirement to start up an RSC - whether you had enough for A+ isn’t for me to speculate
The above is factual
It's nothing to do with GregDoesn’t do himself any favours
They already had most of their names, the Pub used to put on two buses for Hampden and it was the people off them that wanted to start an RSC
I have nothing to do with the running of the RSC.
We have enough running the Edmiston, oh sorry The Louden
Thanks very much, enjoy your dayDisingenuous, who’d have thought it?
Have a good day Mr Marshall
I never said it wasIt's nothing to do with Greg
