    You may lose your seat, you may get a seat in another part of the ground or you may not get a seat all; but so long as you go into it with your eyes open then that's your prerogative and good luck for having the courage of your convictions.

    Rangers "hate" their fans; where are you getting that, GS?
  3. BrahimHemdani
    No; not this time, it's a critical point. See my full answer at #34.

    To stress that you may well lose your own seat even if the scheme succeeds. Because although the FAQ’s state that “We will guarantee that we will pass your existing seat and personal details to Rangers along with your payment if the security is granted. This will enable the club to allocate your seat to you as long as it is still available.” Unless there is an agreement in place between Ibrox 1872 Ltd and Rangers then the Club can just as easily allocate any seat (or indeed no seat) that they feel like even if yours is available. The T&C’s are quite clear on this “3.1 The service we provide through this website allows you to request us to purchase Season Ticket(s) from Rangers on your behalf.” It doesn’t say your season ticket simply because they can’t guarantee that even if it is available. Even then “4.4 We reserve the right to cancel your request and your contract with us at any time prior to our collection of your payment. Any such cancellation by us shall be by notice to you by email to the address given by you at the time of your request.” It is not clear why or under what conditions such a cancellation might apply but I’m sure the clause is there for a reason. And perhaps worse still “5.3.1 We shall not have any obligation to purchase any Season Tickets on your behalf, and you acknowledge that this means you will not receive any Season Tickets.” What is the purpose of this clause? Even if I supported this scheme, which I do not; there is no way I would hand over my money under such conditions. That said there will doubtless be people who will say that any sacrifice is worth it in pursuit of their objective but there will be others who are under the illusion that if the security is granted they will get their own seat when in fact they are not guaranteed any seat all.

    Then like RS at #23 I strongly advise you to read the FAQ's at least if not the link to the T&C's. I see no way for the monies to be used other than for the stated purpose of buying a (note a) not your ST in Rangers. I can only repeat if Rangers don't grant the security which IMHO they will not, then your money will not go into the fund as you call it, actually the company; so there is no other possible outcome and my guess is that the company will quickly be wound up.

    Utterly shocked by the ommition of Foster and McCulloch I voted for Black ahead of Wallace because over the whole season I think he has been our most consistent player and also becuase he has taken some terrible abuse in terms of deliberate fouls and has completely reformed his temprament. Mohsni should have been excluded for thinking he is better than he is and for his inability to listen and learn.

    I forgot to tell you my new rule; fence sitters are barred.

    Then I would respectfully suggest that you have invested your money on a false premise. Your money cannot be used to buy Rangers. If large numbers of fans do not renew and the club goes into administration your money will not be taken because the security condition will not be met. If you want to use your money to buy Rangers then you should consider the RST/BR or RF schemes (and BTW has anyone noticed a similarity in the web site designs?) if you are not already contributing to either of those schemes.
  9. BrahimHemdani
    I do hope it will not succeed that's true but I also don't think it has any chance of success. The statement you highlight is not waffle becuase whilst you are doubtless correct about the lack of a season ticket waiting list, the Company are at great pains to say that you are not guranateed your seat and they exclude all liability for that and many other circumstances. I am sure that you and others of the same persuasion must be totally underwhelmed by this scheme since there is still no money on the table from Mr King and no plan from him to take Rangers forward either. We do find oursleves in complete agreement however about the quality of football (or lack of it) argument being the single most important factor in most fan's decision alongside their loyalty to the Club. Ultimately the vast majority of fans don't really care who sits in the boardroom so long as they see a decent winning team on the park.

    I don't know if you if you meant that to be funny FS but I hope you'll permit me a chuckle Would still prefer you to vote.

    As I have been saying for some time and as BD confirms above this is not a trust, it is a limited company who are going to appoint directors currently unknown and whose shareholders are also currently unknown. The current directors must act in the best interests of the company and there is no indication as some on here have suggested that those who pledge to contribute will become shareholders. This is important because if it were a trust the trustees would be legally obliged to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries who in this case would also be the contributors. Since the pledges are revocable at any time up to 15 July 2014 I don't see how the company or Rangers can rely on them being fulfilled. Note that any dispute concerning the Season Ticket(s) (including without limitation, in relation to the availability or allocation of any specific seat and/or the manner in which the Season Ticket is honoured (or not honoured) by Rangers) and any related matter (other than our performance of the service described in clause 2 of these Terms) shall be a matter between you and Rangers and we shall have no liability in connection with it; I don't see how Ibrox 1872 Ltd can enforce it's T&C's on Rangers. So if Ibrox 1872 Ltd pays Rangers for a ticket on your behalf and there is dispute between you and Rangers, say over which seat you get, Rangers will speak to you about it? I very much doubt it. If you have a dispute and you phone up Rangers, they will say you didn't buy the ticket from us, speak to the people who did. Potential investors in this company should also take particluar note of the following conditions: 10.2 Subject to clause 10.1, we will not be liable to you in any circumstance (whether in contract, delict (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, and whether or not foreseeable), arising under or in connection with the Terms for any: (whole variety of things but importantly): 10.3 Subject to clause 10.1, neither we nor any of our officers, employees or advisers shall be liable for any delay in or failure to deliver any Season Ticket to you as a result of the breach, default, delay, negligence or any other act or omission of Rangers or any person acting on its behalf. 10.4 Subject to clause 10.1, our total liability to you in respect of all losses arising under or in connection with the Terms which are not otherwise excluded (whether in contract, delict (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, and whether or not foreseeable), shall in no circumstances exceed the total price actually paid by you to us for Season Ticket(s). 10.5 Insofar as is permitted in law, other than insofar as expressly stated in these Terms we do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Season Ticket(s). Any representation, warranty or undertaking which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. This clause might also be a concern: Subject to us receiving payment in full and cleared funds for the Season Ticket(s) you have requested (plus any applicable VAT, transaction fees and delivery charges) we shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of such payment, seek to purchase the Season Ticket(s) from Rangers on your behalf. We shall hold your payment on trust pending onward payment of the same to Rangers, as consideration for your purchase of Season Ticket(s). This appears to indicate that you may have to pay the transaction fees specified, unspecified "delivery charges" and what applicable VAT is that? Does it also mean that there is a possibility that the company may have to charge VAT on your already vatable ticket because they are providing a service? I see no possiblity of the Board of Rangers agreeing to grant security over Ibrox in return for whatever monies are pledged as I am fairly sure that the directors would argue that it would be a breach of their fiduciary duty to do so. At a first reading I don't see anything about when the security would be released, so does it go on indefinitely for the one season's ST money? What about next season? I don't read anything about 2015/16 onwards? IMHO the whole concept is fundamentally flawed in any event because it treats the ST monies as a loan to the Club, which even the strongest proponents of the scheme know they are not. It will not succeed.

    Thanks. It's odd that we refer to online voting as "old fashioned" don't you think, sign of these mobile times.
  13. BrahimHemdani
    Miller says it has not been discussed. Audio conference call: http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2014/05/miller-moves-on No offer on the table from Vancouver either, so he agreed a termination now, so he can get a holiday and a new deal in July. "The right time to move on........." Judging by the comments posted the local fans rate his efforts highly. "Realistically" wants to play another 3 years.
  14. BrahimHemdani
    The US will have something to say in Group G and surely Peralta/Honduras must be favourites for Group E.
  15. BrahimHemdani
    Read that before and there's no doubt we need more coaches and bus drivers now you mention it. Still a Brazilian coach at Ibrox, maybe he'll double as a scout and find us the next Diego Costa.
  16. BrahimHemdani
    I agree with your first point, we will never develop our young talent whilst we employ 34yr olds, no matter their pedigree. This may spell the end of the line for Little as well. And how much playing time will Clark get ahead of Daly and Miller? On the latter I think Cribari (and Hutton) just got some minutes last week as a farewell to Ibrox. Cribari wan't even on the bench on at Dunfermline.
  17. BrahimHemdani
    Let me know when you get the charter sorted out mate but make sure it's at least a 747.
  18. BrahimHemdani
    That does seem entirely unreasonable m'lud ; but as and when you deign to appear I'll take it under advisement.
  19. BrahimHemdani
    Too technical for me but cheers.
  20. BrahimHemdani
    :cheers: And I should do that why?

    Since I've voted and there are 6 contributors to this thread that makes two who haven't voted. Frankie might be one, would the other person please vote. Apologies if my selected date zones don't exactly match your own particular preference but it was that or there would have been a choice for every month of the season and most likely no decision at the end up!
  22. BrahimHemdani
    Please vote if you haven't already done so, just go for the nearest to your choice if there is not an exact match.
  23. BrahimHemdani
    Excuses excuses, own up, you're just anti-social and don't want to sit down with us mere (im)posters on your web site
  24. BrahimHemdani
    Bank Holiday Bump!
  25. BrahimHemdani
    Two very good questions. The question I would ask just as those like Hildy, is why now; I don't recall him saying things like that over the last 2/3 years. Really, embarrassing for whom? When was the last time Richard Gough did any wheeeling and dealing in the Barras? The San Diego Vintage Flea Market perhaps.
