It is only the turnout figure which is surprising out of that. Is that a voting poll of less than 10% of members.

 

Club1872 really needs to do so much more to engage and get members involved. They cannot simply claim to represent the whole Rangers support with such paltry numbers voting on such important issues. I dont know how they should do this, they certainly are trying, but 871 votes is a really low number and makes me wonder how many active members they currently have who were eligible to vote?

The majority of fans are not really interested in any of this. I personally didn't get around to voting but would have voted in favour of all the resolutions.

Good to see such a high majority of voters in agreement, shows that the fans with a genuine interest are pretty much singing from the same hymn sheet.

I would have been more concerned if there had been a split in the results especially Res 10 & 11.

I agree that most fans are not interested in this. Which is a great pity, you would think that after all we have gone through in the last 4 years there would be more interest in what is actually happening at the club. We seem to have a large group of fans who have a leave everything to their betters mentality.

seems incredible that 90% of members didn't vote. Is that right ?

You can only take a horse to water , every member was emailed so if they can't be bothered logging on what else can club1872 do , we really do have the most pathetically apathetic support in the world, it's always up to someone else with our fellow fans .

It is disappointing but nonetheless I think there are lessons to be learned from this bud. Hopefully next year will see an improvement in those voting figures.

I've been really busy lately so not online as much but I was surprised at the lack of info on the resolutions - especially the important ones.

 

Perhaps someone has posted a full explanation of what they meant but, if not, that's an oversight so people may gravitate to abstaining (or plain just not bothering) if they're unsure. Not everyone is continually aware of the political landscape and just because someone has signed up doesn't mean they don't need regular updates of where we stand when it comes to person A and subject B.

 

Not sure how restricted the club are with respect to this criticism but it can be said of them as well unless, like I say, I've missed the wood for the trees along the line.

The resolutions were extremely uncontentious and the results were never in doubt. That could be why people didn't vote.

The vast majority of chat I've witnessed is over Res11 , some think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread others the devil incarnate , I'm not 100% sure .
