Rangers Crossbar Challenge

Rangers has become the first football club in the world to launch a crossbar challenge with a mind-blowing prize of £1 million on offer to a supporter at the end of the season.

Fans will have the chance to win a range of prizes throughout the 2012/13 campaign by answering a simple football question – which will be revealed on www.rangers.co.uk and the Club’s Social Media channels – then texting RANGERS to 87070 with the answer or phoning the hotline 0907 595 1972.*

All correct entries will go into a draw to appear on the pitch and try a crossbar challenge at Ibrox this season with a £1 million prize on offer at the final match of the campaign, further enhancing the Club’s entertainment value on matchdays.

The first crossbar challenge will take place when Montrose visit Ibrox on Sunday 23 September and in celebration of Ally McCoist’s impending 50th birthday, the prize on offer will be £50,000 if the fan selected can hit the bar from the centre spot in front of a packed Stadium.

All fans chosen to take part will receive a signed strip and the competition will reach unprecedented heights when a lucky supporter will have the chance to win £1 million at the final home game against Berwick Rangers in May – where thousands of fans will undoubtedly be on the edge of their seats to see if the £1 million prize can be secured by hitting the crossbar.

A prize of this value has never been offered in this way in football before and it is another first for Rangers Football Club.

Striker Fran Sandaza, who launched the Crossbar Challenge today, commented: “This is a fantastic opportunity for the Club and the fans to benefit from an exciting matchday experience. Supporters have the chance to win amazing prizes culminating in a £1m jackpot at the end of the season and the Club benefits from the proceeds of the texts and calls so it is a win for everyone. This is another great way for the fans to back the Club and build revenues together.”

Young supporters also have the chance to participate and win a signed strip - parents can text 87070 followed by TEDDYBEAR and answer a simple question if they want their child to appear on the pitch and take a penalty against Broxi Bear on the hallowed Ibrox turf.

* all entrants must be over the age of 16. Please ensure you have the bill payers’ permission before entering the competition. Texts will cost £1.50 plus your standard network charge, cost to calling number is £1.53 per call plus your standard network charge. Competition closes for entries via Phone line and SMS at midnight on 30th April 2013. More information can be found on www.rangers.co.uk

 

Is it tax free.......? (sic MTS)

 

That's exactly the type of thing a foreign footballer would naturally say, and there's no way he was reading out something handed to him by the marketing department (if he said it at all).

 

How is this going?

 

Gazza hit the bar.

 

Fine.

 

Dunno. Canny see what yer doing.

 

What's mindy on about?

 

I'm guessing he was going through my old articles again.

Between that and Stereo & Bib googling my name, it's fair to say that i've angered one or two of them.

 

Every person who has attempted the "Crossbar Challenge" has Mindy'd it big time.

The closest anyone has got was some bloke hit a trundler which bobbled along, wind assisted, and rubbed the post.

On Saturday there, they had a penalty shoot out vs ROI youth keeper Alan Smith at half time.

 

Yeah the ones I've seen have been awful efforts.

 

Says the obsessive who used my photo as his avatar

 

has Mindy'd it big time.



don't think I have seen anyone reach the D yet!!!
they turn up wae auld gutties oan and don't look like they have even practised it!!!

 

To wind you up.

And did it work?

You bet your arse it worked.

 

Autistic.

 

Most of the ones I've seen have failed to keep the ball airborne as far as the penalty area never mind hit the crossbar.
