Tannochsidebear 2,306 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Surely two members to propose and second your application is enough given it also then goes to a member vote after a hustings, personal statements etc to determine who the members want to represent them. This sounds like deliberately trying to prevent members from becoming part of it, rather than encouraging. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEARGER 1,829 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 POLL REMINDER: Club 1872 Election Process A reminder to members that our current poll will close at midnight on Sunday 14th October. If you have not yet voted then please take the opportunity to do so prior to this time. The original poll email is copied below. Elections for the Club 1872 boards will take place in the coming weeks. In preparation for this the organisation has undertaken a review of our current election process and the criteria for standing for election. We have reviewed feedback from members and working group volunteers, and looked closely at best practice at a number of other supporter organisations across the UK and beyond. Club 1872 is an organisation in its infancy and as we evolve, we strive to improve and strengthen our foundations. In its first two years Club 1872 made significant share purchases, becoming the second largest shareholder in RIFC when we purchased shares from MASH Holdings. More recently we invested £1m directly into RIFC through a share issue. An organisation with such a significant shareholding and the potential to participate in decision-making at Rangers should be secure and protected from instability and disruption. It is with this in mind that the Club 1872 board has approached discussions about how future boards should be elected and the length of term they should serve. We previously wrote to you to indicate that we would poll members on extending the term for future Club 1872 board members. The current one year term is an issue that has been raised by a number of members over the past year. It is also something that was discussed in a meeting with RIFC Chairman, Dave King in connection with an RIFC board place. The current one year term creates challenges in progressing long term plans, and the annual election process causes a significant period of upheaval each year which disrupts crucial work in taking the organisation forward. Please note: any members’ authorisation to change the length of directors’ terms will only be implemented from the next election and/or affirmation process. Current directors’ terms cannot be extended without either election or affirmation. The Club 1872 board has also discussed a number of other ideas that could potentially protect and increase the stability of the organisation. In line with our constitution, it is for members to decide whether those changes should be implemented through the adoption of a new Election Schedule. We would ask you to vote by clicking the link below and logging in to your account - you will then be automatically redirected to the poll. The poll will close at midnight on Sunday 14th October: Club 1872 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there will be at least 15 Gersnet members who are Club 1872 members willing to do this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 So Dave King is dictating how 1872 has to be run and holding them to ransom for a board place. Club 1872 should not want a place on the board it is a supporters club. It should be working for it's members and not bending over to Dave King. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A seat on the Rangers board would see Club1872 go from merely being partially compromised to being totally emasculated. I'd have thought it was the last thing they should be chasing. It's certainly the last thing the board wants. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
