rjathomson85 0 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 If you are part of the 3%, do you expect to be elected ? No! But I had to stand for what I personally believed best for the group. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjathomson85 0 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I think it to a degree that it reflects the general problem. Individuals that haven't really represented the majority. I think in an individual election you must put forward what you honestly believe, otherwise your basing your campaign on lies, which is the very last thing RF needs. At least if the majority are going against the overall consensus at least you know they are more than likely telling the truth in what they believe, and hopefully what they want to achieve. If it's not to the individuals liking then its a case of vote for someone else. I certainly wasn't going to put myself forward as someone who believes we should merge when I don't, just to gain more votes. That would be entirely wrong. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) It looks to me that one Group means less chiefs. Yes, by definition it would. Aslong as proposals were studied and agreed upon, that it was well run, independent but at the same time had a good relationship with the club you wouldn't think there had to be a major problem,.....but it seems as though another group is ready to go live if some don't get their way. People have a right to put their money where they want, into whatever vehicle but what get's me more is any possible political agenda.

chilledbear 16 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 97/100 want/look at joining as one. How many looking for election want RF to stay independent? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a selfish note, it's a pity more like you couldn't actually be part of a positive merger going forward. ie. some of the old guard who have been involved in past problems make way for a younger, less political, fresher blood. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plgsarmy 111 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 No! But I had to stand for what I personally believed best for the group. I repeat, what is best for the group or what is best for the club and the fans? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjathomson85 0 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I repeat, what is best for the group or what is best for the club and the fans? For what is best for the group, but I can do so because I personally don't believe it would make any difference to the fans or the club. The club can continue to liaise with two supporters groups with ease, a merger wouldn't stop the internal conflict, it's ongoing and unfortunately here to stay, like at any club. I'm happy to be proved wrong, I would easily hold my hands up if proved wrong, what we've been through the last 5 years doesn't prove we are the best fans of any club in the world, we we're that long before 2012 and CW. We had differences of opinions then, and that will always continue, such is our passion for Rangers. I think it's great! Debate, discussion on how to improve - even if proved wrong - can only be healthy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we are talking about is a new group that will appeal to all fans, including ones who aren't particularly interested in shareholding. I believe it will have something for everyone. If RF members choose not to join up then it will be happening anyway. There is no down side to it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
