RANGERS yesterday launched an attempt to boost season-ticket numbers by introducing a "club membership" scheme and announcing that all season-ticket holders would automatically receive free founder membership.
The manager Ally McCoist and the captain Lee McCulloch joined fans at Murray Park to launch Rangers Club Membership. The scheme will enable members to apply for a place on the new Fans Board, announced by the club earlier this month and to vote in Fans Board elections. Various members-only initiatives and benefits will apply. Non-season ticket holders can buy membership on the Rangers website at £24.99 for adults and £14.99 for juniors.
"This initiative is a fantastic way for our fans to get closer than ever to their club," said McCoist. "I am also delighted all Rangers season ticket holders are being given founder member status automatically and will receive all the benefits associated with that. Our supporters have shown unbelievable passion, loyalty and commitment to Rangers, especially in the last few seasons, and I can't thank them enough."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
