Am I right in thinking then that you aren't going to purchase more shares then if you arent having any monthly outgoings?
-
I lol'd
-
Yup being the biggest minority shareholder would be fine with me. As long as we have greater than 25% we can veto any sale of major assets. Being a Plc that would give us an extremely strong position imho. However if the facts changed then my opinions might. But that's a personal opinion. One member one vote. Other members may desire full ownership and could vote accordingly. Life in a democracy eh
-
BR doesn't - otherwise you couldn't get a refund
-
Any 'leading member' only has one vote. RF is member led - personally I don't see the need to go for a full takeover - staying just below the 30% mark would be my vote. But I'm one member - RF will be decided by what the members want it to do. Its flexible. I signed up to RF because I believe that it can help the club both at boardroom level and on the pitch going into the future.
-
Personally I think the main difference is the vehicle - CIC's are more flexible allowing various ways of getting shares under the control of RF. I like the monthly membership that goes in perpetuity so that we will always be increasing the shareholding rather than having to encourage people to have to buy another set of shares after a set period. I also like the idea of in the future (once the board room stuff is settled & the fans have authoritative consultative transparency ) that RF can do more than just buy shares, doing specifically contracted ventures that are voted on and agreed by the membership that will benefit the Rangers Community RF also has an established membership that is growing in the last while - 400k shares with money to purchase more at the suspected upcoming issue. All shares that RF own are protected by an asset lock, so investing in RF is putting money into the betterment of Rangers indefinitely. 4/5 are also the same - Though am I right in saying that BR shares are voted on by the RST membership? Whereas RF is one member one vote so that everyone who is contributing to the acquirement of shares has an equal say. So for instance, I am a member of The RST so I have a say in how BR's shares are voted for even though I don't have a community share? RF as an organisation is apolitical - All members are welcome to hold whatever opinions they like but RF will only do what their members vote upon - Its all about being member led and its something that I agree with from a personal point of view. I am obviously a big proponent of RF but at the end of the day I am only interested in the future of the club and the support. Whatever is good for the club I'll support. If people think that BR is the best option then I'm delighted that they are doing something to try and help the club.

There was talk of specific committees being set up and volunteers being needed for each of them - but you could be right. Craig does go on a bit But I always find a passionate speech interesting in its own way - though maybe I'm easily amused
-
There is more than one fan ownership vehicle and group - thats not a bad thing IMO, its just a fact. As long as people are willing work together for the betterment of the club then there should be no issue. Discounting VB as I have no information on their scheme - RF and BR have hundreds of thousands of shares in the club and combined is over 1m shares. Its a decent start but we need more. We also need to work to get the proxy votes of the average Rangers Fan shareholder in the build up to the next general meeting. The FO lads have a lot of work ahead of themselves.
-
Does he not mean about the committees that DJ it setting up? Craig's speech was a bit on the long side didn't think it was anywhere near 45 mins though.
-
Had many a conversation with him on both Twitter and on RM - he's a strange one. Passionately against many things but unwilling to learn more about what he so vocally opposes. Probs just a troll
-
Fair point but I believe the filling it on the Saturday will be the interesting one. If we can jump to a near sellout from an average of 35k (at best) then it shows that there are thousands and thousands who want change. If the attendance is roughly the same then we'll know it's the football/apathy. That's my take from it
-
Well I think most of what transpired last night has been covered. What I will say is I think it's a bold choice to try to fill the ground one week then empty it the next. If successful it will show many that the reduction in attendance is due to ill felling towards the current regime rather than apathy with the football. I think that's quite brave
-
Candidates who received the most votes are: Scott Reid Richard Scott Andy McLintock William MacIntyre Ricki Neil

I was there on Friday too (I'm the youngish guy who was up the back )- I'm also against a boycott in principle. I would rather if action was to happen it to be a 'walk-out' kind of thing that has often been mentioned. But I'm going along tomorrow night to hear what Craig and co say - I always think it is worth listening to the opinions of others.
-
I'm going - though I'll be going to an unrelated event afterwards so any report would be the next day (how late depends on the hangover...)

It's all over Twitter and there is links to official announcements It's confirmed - due to failure to produce accounts
-
Just the 8 hour drive - so not far by North American standards haha
-
I would be surprised also - based on the limited information that I have. It does seem like the use of PM to 'poision the well' as is commonplace in some areas of the support online. All this propaganda does our club no favours.
-
I had one of them a few months ago but the source was something like Missouri lol - figure that was just a random one

-
Someone tried to hack our twitter about 2 weeks ago - twitter was on the ball and made us change our password before anything could happen. So its happening to the Rangers community.
-
It wouldn't surprise me to see that be the case bud. Though I'm personally unsure with regards to what the next issue will consist of and if current shareholders will have an entitlement or not.

Well done mate
