I suppose I missed the smoke bombs and balaclavas out. But seriously, I appreciate the idea that being loyal means going to every game. The problem is the club doesn't run or improve on sentiment, it runs on money in. If you go to an away game what percentage of the ticket comes back to Rangers? What percentage of the bus hire, the carry out, the petrol, the train fare, the pie at the game, the flights or the brasses in Amsterdam goes back to Rangers? The idea of MyGers is to make money, the best way to make money is to reward those giving it to Rangers over others.Bit of a sweeping generalisation to say the least
Which is all well and good but when it comes to Rangers wanting a new player in, can they point to your loyalty to pay for it?"I can't be arsed traipsing all over Scotland but I still want Rangers to win and succeed as those who do"
load of folk can, and the effort of doing it is often to the choice of saying no to other things, often things that will cost a lot less money.
someone making a choice to actually attend is patently a f*ck load more loyal than the person who.... doesn't.
again, no one has said it is "forced" but a lot of folk have the want to do it more than those who "can't be arsed"

Again it's much harder to put a £ figure on that versus the programme someone paid £8 on for a PDF to be forwarded on to them.Ok, devils advocate time here
How often do rangers use pictures of our away fans for marketing purposes? How often have they used lyrics from songs UB have created for marketing? Have they used pictures of pyro in marketing? Have they used fan chant slogans for merchandise purposes?
It really depends how deep you wish to delve in all honesty
Yep, I understand that but it’s the notion rangers don’t financially benefit from away fans that i disagree withAgain it's much harder to put a £ figure on that versus the programme someone paid £8 on for a PDF to be forwarded on to them.
I fully appreciate and understand where you are coming from. I just don't agree with it despite the fact it could work in my favour.I'm pretty ignorant here going into it but let's say 90% of our revenue comes from home games, season tickets and merchandise. You want the 10% that comes from intangible things like they need us to support them to supercede that. I get your emotional argument but whether my 90% is right or miles off the mark, it's where I'm coming from.
That wasn’t your point. Your point was that Rangers should be happy with DH Gate breaching our copyright and using our trademarks because it gets the brand recognised.must be some laugh when folk in here go and buy clothes and say "where are my points" to be fair.

I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t know what the rangers logo looks like :shh:
If you get it for going to watch a game in Bar72 or buying programmes then shouldnt be an issue getting it for buying your merch directThinking of the amount of my hard earned money I spend on merchandise at the club ,like many others fans do,
personally I have x2 kids and they get every strip going ,I also purchase a top aswell as other merchandise.
Should we be getting my gers points for supporting the club in buying merchandise?
DH Gate stuff is generally retro stuff using old crest and club cant do much about.That wasn’t your point. Your point was that Rangers should be happy with DH Gate breaching our copyright and using our trademarks because it gets the brand recognised.

I have never actually tried it but it can’t possibly be worse that what else is currently on offer.10 points if you can actually eat it.
Bit shit if my mygers points are based on how many games you go toNo, nor should we for half the things available.
Should soley for me following the first team
Yeah but thats why all of the above you have quoted shouldn't be included. Should solely by down to first team ticketsIt boils down to the same thing really. They can sugar coat it anyway they like, but you can’t get a single loyalty point without spending money.
Ed House, Champions Wall, RTV, stadium tours and programmes are all club products that accumulate points. There’s no different IMO between buying a home kit and a programme subscription.

I agree mate, but if they’re going to include some non ticket purchases then they should include everything. Otherwise you end up with this weird situation that if you spend £200 on shirts you get zero points but if you spend £200 on stadium tours you get plentyYeah but thats why all of the above you have quoted shouldn't be included. Should solely by down to first team tickets
Yeah its every 12 weeksIs it October for the next points update?
Exactly this.No it is a loyalty scheme not who has the most money. Buying socks just to get points is not loyalty. Queen of the South in the cup on a Tuesday night when its on the tele is loyalty.
