This.

Castore are massive at Rangers. I get promotions from them via' Rangers social media. There doesn't seem to be any problems in the west end of Glasgow. But as stated above, there's only 6000 of us if we're lucky. Why focus on us when there's a massive worldwide club who'll buy an egg cup if it has a Rangers badge on it!

I get all that. But then why take on the MK contract, especially the running of the club shop, if its such a low priority? Seems like they were just hoovering-up contracts without any consideration about their delivery. All the more reason to bin them off as soon as humanly possible.

Didn't Castore have to apologise to Rangers for supply and quality issues a few years back?

Castore - despite all of the problems that they've had with just about all of their contracts - have just announced an extension to their deal with Red Bull, costing them more than $200million. :lol:

So, with our deal worth about £19, we cane expect even less attention than the zero we currently get! :lol:

But Villa who also have a big fan base hate Castore. Also, if you don't treat the little guys the same way as the big guys then do you really deserve to run a business? I look after companies who spend £1milion plus a month and I also look after companies who spend £1k a month. If I don't look after them in the same way then we deserve all the bad rep that comes our way. If Castore didn't want to treat all their customers the same way then fuck them I hope they go bust.

Newcastle fans hate Castore.
Villa hate Castore.

Both binned them off for Adidas for the upcoming season.

Castore are supposedly next on the line for Everton, whose fans aren't happy.
I've also seen both Feyenoord and Leverkusen fans on Twitter complain at the bog standard stuff they've got.

The designs aren't really a problem, most of the kits look nice. The retailing, and the quality and attention are proving constant problems.

Rack of Mansfield gear outside the away end.

This club is so far removed from reality to allow that.

Fuck Castore off immediately and the club needs to sort itself out on wider issues
