Frankie 8,150 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Season ticket holder for nearly 10 consecutive years and not once been invited to a meeting Yes but you'll have been represented by people from this forum and RM though... Seriously, email Jim Hannah and ask him if you can attend any future Ibrox Suite meeting. I think he often invites several 'random' fans so if you're pro-active you'll probably shoot to the top of his list. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I love the idea of a return of the Rally but expanded to a weekend. Would require a lot of hard work and investment but I think there's real potential there for an event that could cover a lot of different bases. GersPride and NARSA work well, so I'd be looking at combining the best of the talks/events from these primarily. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plgsarmy 111 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I tend not to go onto RM these days, and haven't read the thread on FF. You're always going to get criticism from RM, no matter what you do. If people do want the meeting expanded then the people that they should be criticising are McColl and Murray. One problem that the RST do have is an impression (perhaps unfairly) that the RST are on the side of Murray and McColl and therefore anything that shows them in a bad light will not be reported. That should be kept in mind when deciding what questions to ask and what to include in the minutes. I think you are correct Bluedell. Certainly, I think the vast majority of the RST Board are in favour of change but some need convinced that PM/ JM is the way to go. Talking to members at our AGM I think the feeling is the same. We had hoped that if we could set up meetings with both sides it may help those in the undecided category. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW we are holding another Gerspride event in November, details to be released shortly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might give it a try, it's not that i'm a fame seeker but would like to ask questions as much as anyone, especially after all we've been through the last few years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we assume from that the RST have already decided on allegiance, as only some remain to be convinced that PM/ JM is the way to go ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board members will have their own thoughts but as a Trust we have to get a vote from our members on who to support. At the moment, we are trying to ask questions of both sides so that we can give the members as much information as possible before asking them to vote. Put it this way, if all the Board are pro-PM and the membership comes back and says we want you to vote for the current Board, then that is what we have to do. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Artagnan 173 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I take it you haven't seen RM and FF (to a lesser degree). The only one that has access to call a meeting of the sort people are requesting is probably Jim Hannah and I don't think he'd be allowed to do that. Otherwise, how do you ensure a public meeting is free from non-Rangers fans? I would ignore such forum criticisms plg. At least you are actually doing something rather than sniping from behind a keyboard. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 0 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 What would then happen if 35,000 season ticket holders turned up? Have a massive party. I know a lot of work, but people could apply and then a ballot drawn. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
