Rangers FC Website - Why so bad?

[Queens 11]

Our own RFC website and we can't update the Rangers v Porto result from last Thursday or get the score correct on 3 different pages on our website. This is one area that needs to be vastly improved. A 12 year old could do a better job from their bedroom.

[Danger Zone]

Sometimes I think people get too wound up by the website but that’s is really embarrassing to be honest.

If you can’t even publish the correct score you probably shouldn’t be looking after that page.

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

The website is poor, no mistake. Clubs with a fraction of our budget have better so there is no excuse.

 

[hammer17]

ive been a long time moaner about the state of the website and its upkeep

every single day from midnight til around 6am our online ticket shop is 'down for maintenance' its a utter shambles

 

[Echo_1]

The layout looks a bit dodgy on the mobile layout too, check out how wonky the numbers look!

 

[devilman]

I always found it a bit strange with our website. It's not the biggest deal in the world but we're a massive outfit and to have such a poorly run website is strange. Especially when so much of our on-line content can be very good.

 

[supersonic]

the website will be on the list of upgrades no doubt. it would seem the media department are putting most of their resources into twitter, instagram and RTV operations and behind the scene footage.

 

[supersonic]

"Steven Davis, who netted the second, clinching goal against the Portuguese, was replaced by Brandon Barker, while Scott Arfield came in for Brandon Barker."

 

[Queens 11]

With European football still being played, we'll be getting hits from all over the world from fans looking at who they want to avoid in the next stage in Europe. Pretty embarrassing.

 

[Crouchy]

You’d imagine our website is fairly popular.

It does appear a rather amateur set up all round. Was this latest refresh a spiv time doing though?

I have vague recollections of it being updated then?

You could buy something out the box.

I find it a tough navigate.

 

[sherbrook_loyal]

The worst thing about it is they could pay someone straight out of uni to come in and they'd have it sorted within a matter of weeks.

 

[So Mote It Be]

Could (and should) be regularly & accurately updated with minimal effort.

No excuses on this one I’m afraid.

First point of contact for many - you only get one chance at a first impression.

 

[GimmeShelter]

There are junior teams with better websites than ours.

it’s embarrassing

 

[govanite]

The bit when it says sold out before the tickets are on sale have cost the club money.So why hasn't it been upgraded since summer.it really is embarrassing.

 

[brain]

That black bar at the top used to lie half way down the page when you scrolled down on a phone. I was counting my blessings that they at least got that fixed

Not the Spivs I’m afraid.

[Jackhammer]

The galleries they have on are pretty poor and basic also

 

[Alex]

I rarely use of our website because it is so poor.

 

[SJwatp]

It's embarrassingly bad. Horrendous set up aswell as all the mistakes.

 

[Bluebrox]

It's just another example where bad organisation and poor operations management swims through the club. We don't do a lot of things very well.

When you have a Managing Director in charge of day to day operations like Stewart Robertson it should come as no surprise.

Yes, the board have provided loans etc. and they eventually appointed a manager like SG. But outwith that there are so many below par things in and around our club.

To be fair, that's the exact kind of time that system should be down at.

 

[Steven]

The worst thing about it is they could pay someone straight out of uni to come in and they'd have it sorted within a matter of weeks.

Please don't say things like that because it's not true.

 

[Homelander]

Given how outstanding the social media team have been the passed 2 years, it's odd how much the website has been neglected

 

[It Is Old But Beautiful]

It took them god knows how many years to change the “Sold Out” to “Not on-sale yet”. The club have shot themselves in the foot because people would’ve went on the website and saw the likes of a game against Hearts and it says “Sold Out” but it’s really not it’s just that the tickets haven’t went on-sale yet.

The website is an absolute joke to navigate.

 

[bar72bear]

It’s utter tripe. The fact you have to pretend to buy a ticket so you can login rather than just simply have a login tab on the main page is terrible

 

[Ronniemca]

As an old codger I don't know much about web sites and stuff like that but when you compare the layout to some other clubs it does look a bit of a mess.

 

[Byson]

The website is a shambles. Absolutely grinds me having to click buy tickets to be able to sign in. Also hate the way it opens a new web page each time you click on something

 

[sheddensbear]

It's appalling. The info for Academy players is terrible, has their name and no other information. I emailed Stewart Robertson and the SLO and offered to maintain it, foc. Neither of them replied.

 

[TibbsyBear]

The worst thing about it is they could pay someone straight out of uni to come in and they'd have it sorted within a matter of weeks.

Mate you could stick a £20 job up on Airtasker and someone could do better.

These jobs shouldn’t go to market these days. The position should be headhunted or a Consultant with (dare I say it) social media influencing skills should be brought in on retainer or a short term contract.

 

[GEODGC]

Our supporters club information is wrong on the site. I emailed them about 3 years ago to correct it, nothing happened, I emailed back last year and it’s still not been updated.

 

[trueblue77]

Other than buying tickets or reading club statements I don't really use it to be honest. Having decided to cleanse myself of Twitter recently I've found myself back there more often and It's pretty poor. Full of old and inaccurate information.

 

[deedle]

The website could be a huge help to the club.

It could be turned into an alternative to newspapers and carry magazine-type articles.

It could also be used to challenge media attacks on the club and support.


People don't like when issues like this are raised but I don't think the club has a clue when it comes to propaganda.

Rangers is run by people who seem to think it's just a bog standard football club and a job's just a job anyway.

 

[Corporal Clegg]

It's almost unusable on a phone, especially when trying to order tickets.

 

[GEODGC]

Our supporters club information is wrong on the site. I emailed them about 3 years ago to correct it, nothing happened, I emailed back last year and it’s still not been updated.

I take that back, they have now updated it Best to check these things before coming on and making a James Hunt of yourself

The last major website upgrade was in late Summer 2015, after the ousting following the winter of spivcontent

 

[Gary]

It constantly gets things wrong or the text is messed up and doesn't get fixed for days.

I really hope it's not someone sole job to fix this site.

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

just a wordpress jobber, nothing fancy

 

[The Huguenot]

Simply the worst.

 

[Graemeh89]

The website is amateur at best , the ticket hotline not much better, badly needs some investment and people running it who actually seem to care about fans. Still raging from when I got offered a season ticket in the summer was right behind the dugouts cracking seat , the guy phoned and I said I’d take it but was at work never had my Card on me to make payment right there and then , asked if he could hold it for an hour and I’d go home and then to ibrox and pay in full , and the guy wouldn’t do it and cut me off , needless to say I never got the ticket , got another one but nowhere near as good a seat, small things like this piss me off when we really are the best and most loyal fans and sometimes get treated like crap.

 

[Bluefin221]

Paying a company thousands per year for that utter shambles is damning frankly. Slow, clunky, hard to navigate. Errors all over it, near every section is pretty poor it’s actually worse than what we had 20 years ago.
