[emoji120] Peace man, we'll ensure that the cash equilibrium is restored and everything is, like, groovy. -
Not sure. Have a gold star from me though!

I'm delighted to announce that as of this afternoon, Gersnet is the proud owner of one Club 1872 lifetime membership of Rangers First (see below). The grand total of pledges currently stands at £1435, the vast majority of which has already been collected, so Bluedell is in the process of purchasing the promised FIVE BuyRangers Community Shares at £125 each via PLGsArmy. Once we've collected the outstanding monies we should have a further £310 to split between the schemes. Massive thanks to Bluedell for picking up all the payment admin and to everyone on the Forum for their cash and words of encouragement. What a great start to the weekend!

Probably for the best. The other one might get red carded. [emoji10]

Good luck mate. Are you going for the twin RF / BR strikeforce, or playing 1 up front?
-
Thanks Calscot. If you've gone direct to Bluedell with a pledge / payment could you PM me the details, so I can keep track of the running total please? Cheers. MB

It may have been updated, but it's now showing King AND Artemis / Miton, even though that's who he bought out!
-
Welcome and thanks for the pledge! There's a good bunch of guys on here and it tends to stay fairly civilised even when there's a disagreement, so you should feel right at home.

Gennaro Gattuso wants to be the new Gers boss
Mountain Bear replied to der Berliner's topic in Rangers Chat
He's clearly been preparing for our job for a while... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2764231/Gennaro-Gattuso-former-AC-Milan-midfielder-loses-plot-OFI-Crete-press-conference.html -
Total standing at £1385. Thanks to those who have already sent Bluedell their cash. We'll confirm as each purchase is completed. Cheers.
-
Outstanding! And presumably a massive increase in proxies for the RST too.

Ok, so a quick update for those who have pledged so far. We're now at a grand total of £1340 as at noon today. Bluedell has a list of those who contacted me and a note of their pledge amounts, plus any stated preference regarding which scheme to support. He will contact everyone by PM in the next 24 hours. I'd be grateful if you'd keep an eye open for that PM and try to act upon it promptly, so that we can make the donations to RF and BR, giving them as much time as possible before the EGM to actually use it for share purchases. The plan is to use the first £500 collected for the Club 1872 membership. We'll then use the next £625 to purchase 5 Community Shares via the RST. That leaves a residual £215 at the moment and we'll leave the thread open for a few days to see if we get any more donations through, before deciding what to do with the balance (i.e. Another Club 1872 membership, more Community Shares or a straight forward cash donation). Whatever we do, we'll try and stick to a rough 50/50 split between the schemes. I'm proposing that Bluedell, as a long standing and well respected member of the Forum, will be the Gersnet point of contact with both Schemes. I trust that's ok with everyone. Finally, I've asked Bluedell to send me images of the receipts so that we can post them on here and also on Twitter to give the Forum a bit of publicity (which I'll do under my Twitter handle which is the same as my Forum name). That's it for now, but if you have any questions, just PM myself or Bluedell or post them on the Thread. Once again, thanks to everyone for stepping up and doing your bit to help get our Club back.

Pleasure. Final total for the day was £1270.
-
So [drum roll] we have a total of £1200, plus 2 as yet unspecified additional amounts. I'll be logging off shortly, but I just want to commend you all for a monumental effort today. Thanks. I'm speaking to Bluedell tomorrow about the logistics and we'll be back in touch re payment details very shortly. I really hope Jack is reading this...
-
Back after a couple of hours -revised total coming shortly. This is just like Children in Need, but without the dancing newsreaders!
-
£940. £1000 (and a 4th Community Share for BuyRangers), by midnight?
-
Thanks PLG, it'll be our little secret [emoji8] We've already got enough for three without the membership fee. Let's see if we can reward your generosity with a fourth one. Only £110 to go.
-
£890. Speaking to Bluedell tomorrow about the logistics of collection etc, so please don't spend that pledged cash elsewhere! Fantastic effort, but there's still time for anyone else who wants to take part. Thanks again.
-
Thankfully the average sum pledged is a bit higher than I originally expected, so the numbers should be manageable.
-
So. We're now looking at pledges which would get us: 1 x RF Club 1872 lifetime membership @ £500 1 x RST lifetime membership @£100 2 x BuyRangers Community shares @£125 each We've already done Gersnet proud. Can we do 1 more Community Share tonight and even it up?
-
Up to £840 now.
-
See post 98. I believe they sold to Laxey way back.
-
£815. That second Community Share nearly has our name on it....
-
I think if people want to make a regular contribution, there are probably easier ways to do so rbr, certainly from an admin perspective. For me this is about getting in a lump sum now. Happy to listen to feedback though. In other news, we're now at £795, so BuyRangers will be getting a life membership from Gersnet and we're working towards our second Community Share.
-
Thanks, I'll discuss with Bluedell. I'd rather it was short and sharp, but It'll take a few days to collect in the cash anyway. Once we're over £725, anything else can go to additional Community Shares and a pure donation to one of the schemes for any residual amount.
