Is it really so important? Unless you believe the share price should never change, there has to be a point somewhere that sees that change actually take place. That point is for the board to decide, no one else. I hardly think this is justification for some fans smearing the integrity of directors that have so clearly transformed the club over the last few years. Buy or don't buy but I think we should leave divisive victimhood to those who wear it better than us.
Bill, I have never questioned the integrity of our current board, nor have I smeared anyone nor consider myself a victim of anything.
Notwithstanding that, I know share prices are variable, I only question why they are 20p to 1 group of fans last month, 25p to another this month and again 20p to group 1 next month.
Now that surely is a reasonable question? Maybe not so much for a £500 investor but remember the top limit on this issue was £100,000 and if I were considering going in at that level I'd be asking for a degree of clarification
Again you are spot on "buy or don't buy"
I didn't.

I get all the reasoning in respect of the directors and others investing large sums and the associated risks, that's fine and a good argument in the 20 v 25 debate.
What I cannot come to terms with is the recent and ongoing sale of tranches to C1872 at 20p v the 25% increase to the rest of us.
I also think the issue price aught to have been published at the point of asking for registration.

It is a disaster, the chances of my backside being on my ST seat during the last weekend in August are virtually none. The 1st Aberdeen game at Ibrox looks like a no for me as well. I will make a number of games against the dross though.
Looks like I'm lined up for dross as well, never know i might bump into you.

first of all glad to see you having so much fun. You clearly don't need this. others will.
I am sure you will be rattling 500 plus into the club just shortly. That's brilliant. I don't have that kind of lump sum but have been able to put in about 300 through Club 1872 recently also brilliant.
Club 1872 has put over 2 million into the club. That can't be ignored. You may not need them but the club does and the more successful they are the better and that involves all the changes you so rightly propose.
Have they "put over 2 million" into the club? I thought they bought most of their holding from sports direct and refused to participate in the last 3 club issues despite being invited by Rangers to do so.
I'm receptive to correction if mistaken.

That's interesting.
I'm only thinking about it from the perspective of an individual though.
If I donate to Club 1872 and stop donating then, in future, someone else will control the shareholding that I paid for. That is to say that it will be controlled by whoever controls Club 1872. A combination of the membership and the board. I would lose control because I had not remained an active participant.
Alternatively Follow Rangers allows the member to transfer all the shares they have bought whilst part of their collective into their own name at any time.
I'm not a member of either group nevertheless comparing the 2 collective models, if I should in the future decide that a supporters collective would be a benefit to Rangers, I would find FR a much more attractive proposition. If the group no longer appeals for whatever reason then you have the option to bail out with your investment.
1872 of course do not offer that option, hence the predicament some members must be faced with just now, I know guys who just want to terminate their involvement but feel compelled to remain given their financial contributions to date. The reality is that every member will have to abandon their investment at some point. Mortality is unavoidable.
Which makes a bit of a mockery of the 1872 legacy membership, a legacy for who? Dave Kings kids by the looks of things.

The BBC article on Mark Walters has an interesting first paragraph (the only one that appears when you first click the link).
"Documentary in which former Rangers player Mark Walters looks back at the racism he received playing for the club."
Reading that, one wouldn't know the racism was from yahoos and the rest.
Anyone still funding this organisation is no friend of Rangers

just shows that if you put 2-0 Rangers and Morelos FGS every game you win the league

Genuinely don't get all this masked fans stuff. More about the Union Bears self promotion than Rangers winning the league if you ask me.
Agree, most of us vaccinated now, time to bin the masks.

What Robertson didn't say is that this proposal is in fact plan B.
The original proposal was an expanded league 2,
The swifts and young bheasts joining along with 2 from the Highland and 2 from the lowland.
There would be no promotion for the big 2 but there was guaranteed payments from us and them to the Scottish league along with other contractual incentives.
It was considered a goer earlier this year, but obviously something has happened to kibosh that model and the lowland version is now being offered.

My fear is the last game of the season, Aberdeen at Ibrox.
I remember attending the corresponding fixture season 67-68, Davie White's first season. We were undefeated the entire season and lost 2-3 to the Dandies and lost the league. Hopefully, we fcuk them 4-1 too?
competed in 4 comps that season, only lost 4 games.
And won zip.
That season cannot replicate so stand easy.

Felt it was my duty to show solidarity. Even if it jeopardised my top 10 place!?
Well, thats debatable accurate solidarity should have been 0-2, the same score as 1921.
Your prediction of 1-2 looks suspiciously like a pessimist jumping on my jinx bandwagon.

Rangers 0 Separate Entity 2
Odd reasoning afoot, but here's my thinking, 100 years ago, season 1920/21 we won the league with ease, lost only 1 game the whole campaign, 0-2 v them at Ibrox.
Since I stumbled across this stat I have been troubled that history could repeat a century later.
So, by hereby predicting the repetition I have jinxed the probability of it occurring.

Even Celtc won't get away with kicking everything that moves in an OF game.
Why not? Against the sheep they were kicking things that didn't move and got away with it

Last Sunday against St Johnstone proved we still struggle at times against teams who put eleven men behind the ball
The Celtic game will be different
Really? Thought st johnstone had a decent go and got what they deserved.
They had 43% possession, won 7 corners and quite a few goal attempts. Hardly 11 behind the ball.
In fact, as I'm sure you'll recall at one point they had 11 men in front of the ball.

Anyone, whatever their race, creed or status who exposes themselves on global social media should either accept that they will be subject to abuse or remove themselves from the platform.
The world is full of nutters that is undeniable and unchangeable.
Nobody in their right mind can condone anonymous abuse but to try and silence every crackpot on the planet is farting against thunder.
Death threats always make me laugh, often taken as the most serious, but do credible assassins normally give advance warnings? I think not.
If you expose your life to the planet, then you should be savvy enough to ignore the nutters. If not then don't do it and deny them the facility.
