Club 1872 meet Andrew Cavenagh

[L72 576]

I can see them getting appeased and that's about it tbh.

 

Cavenagh and the 49ers will have their own plan and it probably doesn't include diluting shares further or allowing for more ownership to fans.

 

But I do still think the fans should have some sort of representation at that level to relay feelings and opinions, whether it is acted on is a different story.

The problem is you get two or three Rangers fans together and they'll disagree on many aspects on how the club is or should be run, plus you have the never ending queue of blazer chasers.  

 

It'll never work with us.

The requisitioners were largely new blood. Yes, Robert Marshall was involved, but I doubt he would have been a main player. People like Charles Lewis could only be an asset but the current directors objected. Although the requisitioners were all FF users, I believe, it was hardly an FF takeover. As far as I'm aware, no admin of FF were involved. It was purely the place where it was discussed, being the biggest forum by far.

 

I know you're suggesting Gersnet members humourously but there are worse suggestions. Some of the members would be assets to C1872. Frankie and I would need to be excluded but there's others who could bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm....and hopefully communication more frequently than once a year. 

I remember the thread on FF and I just couldn't see Robert Marshell or Mark Dingwall taking a back seat. 

 

I was only half-joking regarding a Gersnet takeover, you could pick members here who'd be head and shoulders above the current board. 

 

I remember attending a few early RST meetings with The EA from No1 Fanzine (sure Frankie was at those or was part of RST at the time). As we're some of the current and old Club1872 directors. 

 

It's a fantastic vision but one that's doomed to failure given how some of our fans behave / act.

Club 1872, give them a chance.  New American owners at the club.  

Need to be far more positive with ideas and communication.

Do they still have any contributors?

You do wonder, suppose there must be a few. I count as a contributor due to being a life member of RST.

There is the Fans Advisory Board, who weren't shy to make their feelings known about the reaction to the tifo.

They've had a chance over the past 7 years. They've raised a lot of cash but it's now time for the current board to stand aside and allow people with fresh enthusiasm to take over.

 

7 years is a long time for those in charge to run the organisation and their enthusiasm has obviously waned. It's noticeable that the only communication over the last year (apart from the AGM poll) is to advise us that they met with Cavenagh. If meeting the owners of the club is the only thing that they can get enthused about then they're showing the reason that they're holding onto their positions.
