  1. I wonder if FS has an opinion on that?
  2. That doesn't answer the question.
  3. I emailed Gary Gillan as follows on the 16th but I haven't received any reply:
  4. I proposed the motion to which you refer and if you re-read it you will see, I'm sure, that it was aimed specifically at RFB members who might make statements denigrating other members. I think that any such statement about someone else would be caught under the general proviso that members should not do anything that would bring the RFB or the Club into disrepute. That said, I agree that the wording could be usefully extended to make that clear by simply adding the word "person".
  5. I agree that that is the best way to collect the money but BD is going to have a bit of a job on communicating the details because from memory with the dinner the system only allows 5 or 7 names in one PM
  6. I'll stand to be corrected on this but I think you would need to be a member of the RST either paying annually or a life membership to have a vote on how the shares are voted at an AGM/EGM whereas with the RF you automatically have a vote by virtue of the contribution, lump sum or monthly. If that's correct then paying the £10 RST sub would give you a vote up to April this year I believe but not thereafter, so a lifetime membership may make more sense in the long run. No doubt plgsarmy will confirm.
  7. Let's face it Mohsni is never going to be anything more than a Sunday pub player, who thinks he's Beckenbauer, when in reality he's more like Bert Konterman. He'll do us all a favour if he stays in Africa.
  8. And that's a very polite way of putting it, amigo.
  9. I'll bow to your expert knowledge of such things, Zappa.
  10. Apparently a union representing Dutch nurses launched a national campaign in 2010 against the demands for sexual services by patients in The Netherlands. Patients there claimed that these services should be part of their standard care. No doubt you'll be able to confirm the success or otherwise of the campaign. http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=5862
  11. Perhaps this German nurse could help
  12. Thanks, that's the figue I have used in all my calculations. Do you know if they are holding moiney back as was originally intended on a 50/50 basis so as to ensure they have money to invest in new issue(s) to avoid dilution or are they going for broke and buying all the shares they can at the moment? Still waiting for plgsarmy or anyone from RST to state their number of regular conrtribitors and the average amount.
  13. I wouldn't be surprised either but in order to be effective they need to act together and that would be so much easier if it was one organisation.
  14. I don't agree that they are going nowhere but I agree that one scheme is required; and it's not often that I agree with SBS. Let's say that both organisations could achieve 5,000 members/donors (and crucially all of the RST members contributed) at an average £10/month, allowing for some cross over, combined they could achieve a 5% holding in less than a year.
  15. That's one way to put it. Another way would be to say that RST members do not have to contribute to BR. On the other hand everyone of the 4,000 who participate in RF are contributing monthly; this is not the case with the RST/BR. Last I heard about 200 of the then 2,500 RST members were contributing monthly. Would you care to say how many of the 4,000 are now contributing monthly and the average amount? Would anyone involved with RF care to state their average contribution? I previously suggested that both organisations should agree to a high level independent Chair (and perhaps a small working party who understand the technicalities and who could bring in expert guidance) to review each organisation's constitution and scheme details with a view to finding a way to amalgamate. I'll even suggest a name Buy Rangers First. (This doesn't imply someone like RST is buying RF!) That said, I am not certain that RF actually have a constitution, outside the fund raising scheme itself. It's time to put pasts differences aside for the greater good.
  16. I'm not totally opposed to that idea but it seems unnecessarily complicted to me. At present the vote is 4-1 to scrap it and LG who says he will stick with his forecast appears to be cool with anyone who wants to change. Isn't it easier just to start afresh when the game is rescheduled. Anyone who wants to repeat the same forecast can do so at that time but as Bearman points out our personnel may well have changed by then. I've had two says so that's it from me and will abide by the majority decision.
  17. Or we could just take 0-0 as the result then the three of us that forecast a draw would get the points Seriously though just scrap it. Any word of a new date?
  18. Does anyone know how many shares John Gilligan and Paul Murray own?
  19. John Gilligan was a former RST Board member and the regular Chair of the RST Dinners if I recall. He was frequently touted as the way in to The Members but aside from setting up one abortive meeting with Park totally failed to deliver.
  20. At the outset, many RFB members agreed with me that we needed "something big" in terms of establishing credibility. Some issue where we were seen to have inluenced a Club decision or changed a Club decision because of a case put forward on behalf of the fans. It is clear that in respect of Celtic tickets the RFB not only did not put forward a case but meekly accepted what had already been decided and then allowed their name to be used to endorse the decision. Frankly that's useless. Now they have another big opportunity, indeed it is unlikley that they will ever have a bigger opportunity. If they can successfully resist the move to grant security over Ibrox then their future is assured; but if not they will be seen as Club lackeys. "Requesting information" and failing to draw attention to the notice of intention to grant security in contravention of the commitment that Ibrox was "sacrosanct" is not a great start.
  21. Thanks for your understanding, as I've said several times it was the lack of due process that hurt more than anything. At the same time, I felt I had the necessary experience from representing Scottish Football fans to do the job and I can only assume that I was elected on the basis of my CV (and in spite of a pretty negative campaign elsewhere). You are correct that it would be quite a feat to "indirectly" send email unless you first sent it elsewhere and had the recipient forward; but I meant "directly" as in imminently and I can confirm the I have already sent the email directly (as in straight to Gary Gillan).
  22. Thanks for advice, Craig. I think you will understand why I feel agrieved but sorry if my posts come across in the manner you suggest. That said, I don't apologise for suggesting that the RFB do what they're supposed to do namely: The Fans Board will provide a platform for supporters to communicate directly with key Club staff in a structured manner Give the Club greater insight into the topics and issues that most affect and concern the wider Rangers fanbase I would have posted the same comments as at #13 had I never beeen a member of the Board.
  23. Why don't you answer the real question that was posed?
