Why the RSC…
The Chicago Rangers Supporters club is open to new members for the upcoming 2021/2022 Rangers season. The club meets at Duffy’s Tavern in Forest Park (as it has for the last 15+ years) for all weekend matches.
But why should I wake up at 5AM to drag my ass into a pub to watch a game when I can watch it from home, or my bed?
At some point during the season (particularly in mid-January), we all ask ourselves this question. The answer to the question is also the reason that most RSCs exist in the first place. The camaraderie of watching Rangers with other supporters, to join with you in the ups (and downs) of every match is why we all show up.
For casual football supporters in North America, its easy to go out and pick the flashiest (and usually top of the table) team from the EPL to throw your support behind and watch them for free each week.
As a North American RSC, it’s a bit more difficult, as the draw to Rangers is often US based ex-pats or North Americans who have some (often limited) connection to Rangers in some way or another. The goal is to provide a place for both those who might have loved Rangers their entire lives and those who might just be discovering Rangers to come watch matches and have a little taste of what its like to support the most successful team in football.
So, if you fall into any of these categories, please feel free to reach out to us and join us for one of the early 21/22 season matches to see if the RSC is right for you. Alternatively, if you know anyone who lives in the Chicagoland area, or may be relocating to Chicago and is in search of an RSC, please send them our way.
On to 56.
