Rangers Fans Unite - Hampden March 28/04/2012 - UPDATE PLEASE READ!

[Koeman 0]

 

 

Rangers Fans Unite call on all Rangers fans to support a march to Hampden Park to be held Saturday 28th April. At Hampden Park, Rangers legend Sandy Jardine will address the fans.

 

The assembly point for this is the Victoria Road entrance of Queens Park. March off is 1.30pm to Hampden where a short rally will be held.

 

The march and rally are against the unfair, draconian and unsporting punishments meted out to Rangers FC and it’s fans because of the behaviour of Craig Whyte.

 

We urge fans of all ages to come along and make this a day of protest for the whole Rangers Family. Everyone must rally around at this time of great crisis.

 

Rangers Fans Unite is an initiative created by fans inspired by the colourful displays of the Union Bears and the Blue Order who have spearheaded the organisation of the march. The march and rally is supported by every fans organisation and website.

 

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR MARCH AND RALLY.

PLEASE ONLY ATTEND IF YOU ADHERE TO THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF STEWARDS AND POLICE AT ALL TIMES.

 

Rangers Fans Unite - Protest Guidelines

 

Assembly Point: Queens Park, Glasgow – Victoria Road

 

1. Marshals: There will be protest marshals/stewards clearly identified by their high visibility vests. These are fellow fans; please follow their instructions at all times. They are there to help you and ensure our ultimate aim is achieved successfully.

 

2. Self Policing: Ensure you uphold the Rangers traditions set by the gallant pioneers, through to Mr. Struth and more recently by our manager Mr. McCoist. Follow any police directions and assist each other to ensure that this is a peaceful protest.

 

3. Flags and Banners: If your banner would be deemed welcome inside Ibrox Stadium, then it is welcome at the protest. Hard hitting slogans which get our message across are very welcome. Be mindful that any offensive banners/placards could result in their removal, your arrest and the protest halted.

 

4. Songs: Please stick to clean anti-SFA songs and Rangers songs. Again, if the song is welcome at Ibrox then it is welcome on the march. Be mindful that there will be families in attendance, supporting our club; therefore be mindful of the language used.

 

5. The March: Please move quickly along the route to our ultimate destination outside the main doors of Hampden. The protest will be dynamic and may obstruct ordinary people going about their normal business – we must do our best not to disrupt them.

 

6. Be wary of rival fans, should they be in attendance – do not react to provocation, allow the police to deal with any trouble should it arise. The police presence will be there to ensure that the protest passes off safely and peacefully.

 

7. Alcohol: All participants must strictly follow Glasgow’s alcohol rules – no alcohol allowed within Queens Park, en route to Hampden, or within the stadium grounds.

 

8. Safety: Please do not bring flares, fireworks or other such devices to the protest as this would jeopardise the march, as well as the safety of your fellow supporters.

 

9. Dispersal: Upon completion of our protest, please leave the protest area in and around Hampden promptly and safely once instructed by the marshals.

 

10. The very best of behaviour is expected from all participants, there will be many families with small children in attendance, so please be mindful of that at all times and show respect and due consideration for those around you.

I totally understand and agree with this protest, but I just think SFA will use it against us.

Great work from all involved.

 

Should be an excellent representation of how many RFC fans are feeling. A good way to channel our frustration and make external parties aware we will not be walked over.

I want to to attend but not sure about bringing the kids with me, what do you think guys? Is anybody planning to bring the family?

Depends on their age.

 

I'd fancy although people will be friendly, it will be rowdy and bad language will be prevalent.

Two wee girls Frankie, they love going to Ibrox but it's much more of a controlled environment obviously. Might just take them to the park and watch the folks set off.

Can't make it long term plans stopping me, the two older boys not happy with Daddy Bear.

Yeah, that sounds for the best mate.

 

I'm sure you could tag along at the back though. They'll be safe enough - just cover their ears...

I was at the meeting for this yesterday and they do want to make it a family day. It would be great of you could bring your kids. It's not just about the Rangers of today. We want our kids to be able to enjoy the club in the future as well. We would like as many families along as possible.

 

I believe that there will be a letter handed in to the SFA at Hampden and this will be done by a kid.

Didn't realise that BD - thanks for the extra info.
