Bluedell 5,329 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Club1872 has a lot of work on it's hands going forward, no1 consideration for me is getting the wider fan base involved with the concept. Those of us already members of the various supporters groups are generally still getting involved, by continuing our financial input. But attracting those fans not involved in any fans groups, by simply asking them to pay-up and join, might not attract the numbers we need to make it numerically successful imo. Particularly at £60 pa. It's a very high fee and should be reconsidered. Every support should be able to join free of charge imo, that way you will get those with less financial resources to spare joining, i'm thinking here of children, the disabled and pensioners, also parents and grandparents joining their family members, thus continuing the family lineage links to the club. I'm not sure I agree with it being FOC. The organisation will presumably not get funding from elsewhere and there are costs. However £10 pa and £5 for OAPs and kids should be OK.

Sounds the way to go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone regardless of financial input should carry the same or equal voting rights. Those of us within the support with the financial resources, should carry those within the Rangers family without the financial resources to contribute much or anything. That's not to say we shouldn't encourage new members to take up the financial responsibilty of helping the supporters group or the club. If the true aim is a unifying of the support then financial restrictions should not be put in place. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
