The Rangers Supporterââ?¬â?¢s Trust is delighted to announce our inaugural ââ?¬Ë?Gers Prideââ?¬â?¢ Conference, to be held within Ibrox Stadium next Saturday 10 November (Outline timings 10am until 3.30pm).

 

A prestigious panel of confirmed speakers includes: Ian Davidson, MP for Glasgow South West, Professor Steve Bruce of Aberdeen University, Dirk Manser, Curator of the SV Hamburg Club Museum, Stewart McAfee of the Amalgamation of Northern Ireland Supporters Clubs, Grahame Smith, General Secretary of the Scottish TUC and Andy Mitten of the Manchester United Supporters� Trust.

 

Members of the RST Board will also speak at this event.

 

The Conference is open to all members of the Rangers Supporters� Trust and provides a much-needed space for fans to debate and explore all the issues around Rangers, about being a football supporter in the 21st Century, and tackling the thorny issues of racism, sectarianism and other forms of prejudice. It will consider mainstream Scots culture, politics, education, the wider civic society and look at how the Rangers family relates to these. Guests from England, Northern Ireland and Germany will help give the event UK-wide and European dimensions.

 

One again The Rangers Supporters� Trust shows that it is the progressive organisation open to all and offering an alternative voice to the Rangers support, a support either excluded from debate or dishonestly portrayed as being backward-looking and bigoted. As a democratic fan-led body, we are proud to offer this Conference as a major step forward in this exciting and challenging period for all members of the Rangers family.
