Calls For Record Breaking Season

[ian1964 10,596]

STEWART Robertson believes it is possible Rangers could smash their season ticket sales’ record because of the team’s brand of football.

 

And he is looking to retain the men behind that brand, Mark Warburton and Davie Weir, for as long as possible.

 

The club’s managing director would like to see the management team stay at Ibrox for the long haul and thinks that will only have a positive effect on crowds.

 

Robertson said: “Mark and David have been terrific in the year they have been up here and we would love them to stay for a number of years.

 

“As with any employee who is performing well you look to see if you can retain them for a longer period of time and I noticed in the press there had been some speculation about that.

 

“We are in constant dialogue with Mark and Davie and I am very hopeful that they will be here for a long time to come.

 

“People come to watch the football and Mark and Davie have got us playing some magnificent stuff this season.

 

“The fans will keep coming if we are still winning so we need to keep providing them with a platform to watch that type of football next year.”

 

Chairman Dave King has called on fans to pack out Ibrox next season and the MD agrees with the South African.

 

Although he is at pains to stress the board aren’t setting targets when it comes to the number of season tickets sold.

 

Robertson continued: “The start of June is the deadline for season ticket renewals so I would urge people to renew as quickly as they can.

 

“Sales are going very well; we were just short of 25,000 as of Thursday morning, so we are delighted with the uptake so far.

 

“The Chairman has been on record to say he would love to sell a record number of season tickets so we have started very well.

 

“I would love to get about 40,000, we ended up with 37,500 last season, I think the record is 43,000 and Dave said he would love to see a record number.

 

“So it’s not a target as such but I’d love to think we could maybe get there with the style of football we play and the signings we are about to make.

 

“I think the numbers is down to the football and at the end of the day we are a football club.”

Interesting quote there - another couple of well known names possibly?

There are two guys in my local who will be buying season tickets after being away from the matches for a few years. I expect sales will be up on last season.
