Zappa 0 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Here's the original blog article announcing the RSL group from back in April........ April 1, 2014 by billmcmurdo Rangers Supporters Loyal The rebels in the Rangers support have reacted with predictable hatred and venom to news that loyal fans are preparing to buy extra season tickets and are also willing to pay extra monies to the club in order to offset the impact of a potential season ticket boycott. The good news for those loyal fans, many of whom read this blog, is that the new supporters group is in the process of being formed. A new website with a forum is being developed and the loyal fans can have an online meeting place that meets their needs – a place free from the negativity and pollution of other online forums. This forum will be a place where Gers fans can communicate with each other without the playground abuse you get elsewhere. It will be heavily moderated in terms of who gets to enter the forum. No agitators, rebels or imposters will be allowed and, if found therein, will be punted swiftly. A code of conduct will be drawn up for the new supporters group and its general ethos will be one of support for the board – without giving the board a blank cheque in any way. Many great ideas have been put forward and we hope the new group will have an immediate and dynamic effect on the Rangers family. The driving force for this new group has been the vision and determination of Ayrbear to create a voice for fans of Rangers who are not anti-board but are very much pro-Rangers. Old-fashioned attributes of dignity, decorum and respect – as exemplified by Rangers men of old – are very much part of the ethos this new supporters group will seek to embody. We all owe Ayrbear and one or two others who are in the background a massive debt for putting flesh and bone to an idea whose time has come. This group will be staunch friends and allies of other Rangers groups who share our values of supporting the club through thick and thin. However, we will implacably oppose those who seek to agitate matters at Ibrox for self-seeking agendas that could damage RFC. There will be an annual membership fee and all monies will be fully accounted for with transparency. It is important for me to say this – this will not be the Bill McMurdo Rangers Supporters Group. I am happy to support it and be involved with it but this new group has come out of that wellspring that is still thankfully at the heart of our massive bluenose support – the wellspring of loyalty to and love for the club which makes us The People. In other words, it is YOUR group. Your devotion to Rangers has demanded that such a group be formed. The group will be known as Rangers Supporters Loyal and this name says everything about what this organisation will epitomise. It is not about individuals but about Rangers FC and what the club stands for. Many of you have indicated your willingness to join Rangers Supporters Loyal. Soon you will have the chance to do just that. Also we will have a meeting soon to formalise things and elect office bearers. We are coming down the road, folks and we will not be stopped, sidetracked or deflected. http://billmcmurdo.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/rangers-supporters-loyal/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 More info from McMurdo's blog article on Saturday night....... ________________________________________________ Well, I promised you good news and here it is: the RSL is now receiving memberships. Two kinds of membership are available – single costing £10 per annum and family costing £15 per annum. Family memberships are great bargains as they allow you to register up to five family members as RSL members. You can also donate on top of your membership fee or at any time. Monies raised will go to support the club and Rangers-related projects. For example, the RSL intends to retain the services of a solicitor to tackle anti-Rangers bias wherever it is found. We intend to introduce a new Rangers forum free from the bile and abuse of other existing forums. Our general stance is that we support Rangers Football Club and do not see that taking punitive actions such as boycotting Rangers is the way to effect change. In short, we are LOYAL BEARS. We support the club and reserve the right to criticise where we feel it is appropriate. Without, of course, taking actions that would imperil the club’s very existence. Feel free to join and itch in with your own viewpoint. Your input is very much sought after. Unless it involves flash mobbing Sports Direct shops and red card protests. You can join Rangers Supporters Loyal here: http://www.rangerssupportersloyal.co.uk For any problems registering, please email gersfans@mail.com New RSL blog here: http://www.rangerssupportersloyal.wordpress.com ________________________________________________ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Granted, if these chaps really take the money and have a go at the media, they would do more than anyone (!) else has done in a decade. As always, I wait till I see it happen though. Aye, go and take on the media.....that will save us [EDIT] Let's avoid the personal stuff towards fellow forum users, thanks. ~Z [/EDIT] Don't forget the Judas Blogger does Abundance Preaching aswell if you need some extra cash before Xmas.

Bluedell 5,329 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 We intend to introduce a new Rangers forum free from the bile and abuse of other existing forums. Our general stance is that we support Rangers Football Club and do not see that taking punitive actions such as boycotting Rangers is the way to effect change. In short, we are LOYAL BEARS. I guess that they don't realise that inferring that those boycotting aren't loyal is abusive and therefore they fail in their objective already. We support the club and reserve the right to criticise where we feel it is appropriate. Without, of course, taking actions that would imperil the club’s very existence. So what they mean is that it's OK to criticise as long as they agree with it. Very fascist. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,306 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I pity any well-meaning bear who falls for this and parts with some of their hard-earned to fund this fantasist. No doubt there will be some. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 if you send him cash he prays for you and you get rich so surely the thing to do is send him cash for that then reinvest that in loyal rangers loyal for the loyal only or whatever it is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRW 0 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 haud me back... If ever there was a more pointless venture for Rangers fans to waste money on then this is it. I wouldn't give William the time of day never mind a tenner. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildy 0 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 There is a word in the Rangers lexicon that is frequently used to do fellow fans down. The world is 'loyal'. I remember reading somewhere that this word was 'given' to supporters clubs who had backed the club after a major fall-out between club and support. Only those supporter clubs that had backed the club were permitted to use the word in their title. I don't know what the issue was or even when it happened, but I did read this somewhere although it was such a long time ago, I'm not sure where it was that I read it - probably in a Rangers book. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
