BAP1872 0 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Shamelessly stolen from ff :blush: From Jim Hannah's Facebook page..... REMEMBRANCE DAY 10TH NOVEMBER 2012 IBROX STADIUM HOME OF RANGERS FC For all of you who remember the stunning Poppy display for remembrance day a few years back, I am planning to have another one on the 10th November thatâ??s next Saturday, it should prove to be another beauty. The plan is to have one giant poppy and 4 smaller ones in the Govan Front and Rearâ?¦..a massive Union Flag in the Copland and another giant Union Flag in the Broomloan this is in honour of the Men and Women who were killed serving our Country to make the World a better place to live in, LEST WE FORGET. The Cards should be held up as the teams come out and remain held up during the minuteâ??s silence, after which 2 Paraâ??s will abseil from the roof of the Govan stand with the match ball. This will show the World once and forever what our Armed Forces mean to every living Rangers Fan the World over as it should do to any decent living human being who lives in our Country. At half time the Club has invited 300 service personnel from the Army, Navy, and the RAF to come onto the pitch when the Rangers Fans will give them a reception they will never forget. We need this game to sell out to Honour our Armed Services and to make the display work, so please get this out to every Rangers media source you know and let the Rangers Family play their part in honouring the deceased and the living in our Armed Forces. W.A.T.P. R.T.I.D. W.D.D.W.A 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1872 4 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Paying Tribute To Our Heroes Written by Rangers Football Club RANGERS Football Club will welcome around 400 armed services personnel and Erskine veterans to Ibrox on Saturday in honour of Remembrance Day. The Rangers first team will wear special poppy strips against Peterhead as a mark of respect and representatives from each of the armed forces and a veteran from Erskine will lead the teams onto the pitch before the game as a tribute to all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. All those present from the armed forces and Erskine will have the opportunity to come onto the pitch at half-time where they are certain to receive an amazing welcome from the Rangers support. The Rangers Charity Foundation is also hosting a can collection on the day in aid of veterans’ charity PoppyScotland, which supports ex-servicemen and women and their families. As always, the Rangers fans are sure to give generously to this collection, which will help veterans in Scotland receive the care and support they urgently need. Remembrance activities on the day will include music from army pipers, abseiling from the Royal Marines and the firing of an L118 artillery gun within the Stadium to mark the observation of a minute silence. There will also be a card display in the stands arranged by the Rangers Supporters Assembly. Rangers Manager Ally McCoist commented: “I am delighted that so many veterans and serving personnel are coming along to Ibrox on Saturday. "It is our opportunity to pay our respects to the brave men and women in our armed forces, our veterans and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. "It will be an honour to welcome them to the game and to applaud them when they come onto the pitch at half time.” Commenting on behalf of the Armed Forces in Scotland, Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Bruce said: “This is a fantastic gesture by Rangers to members of the Armed Forces in Scotland to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. Sport also plays a major part in the lives of military personnel. "In addition to the obvious fitness benefits it also fosters team work and resilience. "It is also critically important to the morale, welfare and operational effectiveness of Armed Forces personnel. We are all looking forward to an enjoyable match.” Fraser Bedwell, Head of Marketing at Poppyscotland, commented: “Poppyscotland is extremely grateful for the continued support from Rangers Football Club. "The money raised from the collection at Ibrox will enable us to provide even more life changing support for the Armed Forces community.” 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
