rbr 1,247 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 At the planning meeting on Thursday we had no idea how many would turn up. I think we agreed that 5000 would be great but that exceeded all expectations. I think we should also thank Sandy Jardine who put his neck on the line by signing the permit for this. What was just as pleasing was the reception that MD and the VB guys gave each other on the steps , not taking anything away from what was a brilliant day but that was excellent 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,418 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Supporters have flooded the companies with letters of protest as well as ceasing to use their produc Sunday April 29,2012 By Greg Christison RANGERS fans are boycotting firms linked to the Scottish Football Association in a revenge protest at sanctions that have pushed the club to the brink. The Scottish Sunday Express can reveal the body’s sponsors and partners – including Bank of Scotland and Tesco – have been targeted. Supporters have flooded the companies – which also include Wiseman Dairies, Sky, Adidas, McDonalds, Carling and Mars – with letters of protest as well as ceasing to use their products. Officials at the SFA have now been forced to write to firms to provide reassurances. A source at the Bank of Scotland of said: “This is having an impact.” The boycott comes after the SFA imposed a 12-month transfer ban and a £160,000 fine on Rangers. I think this demonstrates the level of injustice by the Scottish Football Association. It is just a fantastic turnout, but not just that, every one of you has been a fantastic ambassador for Rangers Football Club Sandy Jardine A website entitled Stop the SFA, which urges fans to boycott both sponsors and partners, sports the headline: “Scottish FA – Not fit to govern.” The fans’ sanctions came as almost 7,000 supporters, led by former player Sandy Jardine, yesterday demonstrated outside the SFA offices at Hampden. Banners unveiled on the steps of the National Stadium read: “SFA – not fit for purpose. SFA sanctions cost jobs. SFA killing Scottish football.” Another sported the message: “We support Glasgow Rangers, we won’t walk away, boycott the SFA.” After a delayed start due to health and safety issues over the numbers in attendance, Mr Jardine spoke to the supporters before handing over a letter of complaint. He declared: “I think this demonstrates the level of injustice by the Scottish Football Association. It is just a fantastic turnout, but not just that, every one of you has been a fantastic ambassador for Rangers Football Club. It has been absolutely magnificent what you have all done to try and save this club. “The supporters did nothing wrong, the players did nothing wrong, the management did nothing wrong, and the staff did nothing wrong. If we can stick together and keep it going, there will always be a Rangers.” Speaking after the rally, Mr Jardine added: “The implications of the SFA sanctions could tip us over the edge into liquidation, and if that happens we have 250 people there who could lose their jobs.” Mark Dingwall, the head of Rangers Supporters Trust said he hoped that the protest and campaign against sponsors could force the SFA into a U-turn. “I think it certainly shows the strength of feeling,” he added. “The fans have taken the boycott of sponsors up with gusto, and I think the way they are doing it is the right way. “They are lobbying and asking that they use their good offices to influence the SFA to say that it is frankly ludicrous that a team has been hamstrung so much that it destroys competition. “The reputational damage this has done to the SFA is great, and it will have repercussions.” Officials at the Bank of Scotland yesterday said it would be “inappropriate to comment on any other matter in relation to the SFA”, while a spokesman for Tesco said it has “not been involved in any way in the current issue between Rangers and the SFA”.” A spokesman for the SFA refused to comment but confirmed that letters had been sent to all sponsors explaining the organisation’s position. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gers4Life 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I have to admit the police were in good spirits and I enjoyed a few jokes and some good old Glasgow banter as I was carrying a bottle of berry flavoured powerade Zion which is blue in colour and the officer said to me "I've saw it all now, blue coloured water I guess there was no limeade in your fridge lol 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
