Rangersitis 0 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Using derogatory terms to describe legitimate supporters groups which collectively represent tens of thousands of members makes it look as if it's you who's being petty. What's derogatory? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 What's derogatory? I think you must be trying to take the mickey here because it's pretty obvious that calling the supporters groups "self-interest groups" is derogatory and it's pretty obvious that you meant it to be derogatory as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of my personal views, it is what they are, simply, they are there to serve the interests of their members. There would be no need for two separate organisations if they had a singular goal. Let's not forget that RF was set up after the toys, once again, came out the RST pram. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,251 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) The club has to start somewhere and with someone. For the first time in ... well, living memory, the club is being run by Rangers supporters or at least people with the best interest of club & company at heart. There sure is no easy way to get supporters of this massive institution under one umbrella quickly, if at all. Remember that even we here on the board cannot agree on certain players or team selections. Same with all great clubs around Britain or Europe. One future option might be some sort of membership scheme, which is in place at various clubs (to a certain degree of success). But more importantly, the club talks to the support and you would hope it listens to the support as well. And I have some confidence that the people in place at the club now will listen and act accordingly than any board did before them. NB: The successes and failures of the various supporters' groups have been done to death here. Right now, how about looking for the future instead of dragging the skeletons out of the cellar?

forlanssister 3,050 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 In that case, has Alan Harris been reinstated yet, or is the non-ratification of the constitution only relevant when it suits? The non-ratification of the constitution didn't have anything to do with the fate of AH and his departure certainly didn't "suit" me in any shape or form. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the constitution wasn't ratified, did the club have the authority to remove him from the Board as they did? It wasn't aimed at you personally. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own understanding is that it did and had the constitution been ratified at that point then the Club would have found it harder to remove him (again that's my own opinion). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Has anyone asked the Club at any of these meetings what they intend doing with the membership scheme which Graham Wallace set up last year? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
