CROpod interview with the Rangersfirst guys , well worth a listen
rbr posted a topic in Rangers Chat
http://www.thecoplandroad.org/2014/03/cropod-midweek-rangers-first.html -
It has been less than 2 weeks since RangersFirst was launched with the aim of purchasing shares in Rangers in order to achieve transparent, authoritative consultation with the club. We have had a fantastic online response with invitations coming from many supporters’ clubs across the UK asking RangersFirst to present the scheme to their club members. We are getting very close to our next milestone of 1000 members and to celebrate this incredible achievement we will be giving away a signed 2003 Rangers top to one of our lucky members. David McLuckie from Denniston has kindly donated this fantastic framed Rangers shirt signed by the 2003 squad. To be in with a chance of winning this fantastic piece of Rangers memorabilia all you have to do is sign up to RangersFirst or be an existing member. A winner will be picked at random and their name will be published on the RangersFirst website.

Rangers First Q&A @ The Louden Tavern: Ibrox Stadium on Monday 7pm
rbr replied to WATP_Greg's topic in Rangers Chat
Totally agree with these points , in general people behave in a herd mentality , and if they see something successful will generally go along with it and sign up to it -
Scottish Cup success would mean Rangers have had a better season than Celtic

To be honest the fact they arent on their way to a second treble tells it all , if the situation was reversed I would have expected us to be doing that or at least 5 out of 6 trophies -
RANGERS BOARD REJECT KING PROPOSAL The Rangers board have rejected Dave King's plan to ring-fence season-ticket cash, the former director claims. King met with the ruling Ibrox regime on Friday for showdown talks about the club's worrying financial state. The club responded 24 hours later with a statement describing the meetings as a "helpful, open and honest discussion". But the South Africa-based businessman's proposed scheme - that would have protected season-ticket cash from being used to repay a controversial £1.5million loan handed to the new League One champions by investors Sandy Easdale and Laxey partners - was knocked-back by the board. The loan agreement is secured against the Albion car park and Edmiston House facility and will earn Laxey a £150,000 profit in either cash or shares when it is repaid next year. King says the board have addressed many of his concerns about the fallen Glasgow giants' future but revealed the two sides could not find common ground on the topic of season-ticket revenue. In a statement, the Castlemilk-born multi-millionaire said: "The only significant issue that I discussed with the board that is not contained in the board statement is the Laxey loan facility. "Mr [Norman] Crighton, on behalf of the board, made a forcible argument as to why the board considered and approved the terms of the Laxey loan. "The board considered that a combination of legal risk and the current financial position justified the loan terms. "I replied that a consequence of the board's view of the high risk to anyone advancing funds to the club is the board's fiduciary responsibility to ring fence any season-ticket money that is received (even if fans don't request this) unless sufficient committed financing is in place at that time. "The board did not agree with me on this logical consequence but I believe that my observation is correct." King looked set to go to war with the board when he advised fans to withhold season-ticket cash and instead pay it into a trust fund which would then drip feed the money to the club. He made his original call after complaining about a lack of transparency about the club's financial state following last year's £14.4million loss and rumours of downsizing to boss Ally McCoist's squad, which King feared would allow Celtic to rack up "10 in a row". On top of his concerns about season-ticket cash, the former director - who lost a £20million investment when the club was liquidated in 2012 - also expressed fears that the board would mortgage off Ibrox and Murray Park to secure fresh finance. But he added: "The board has now publicly dealt with each of the above. The board has affirmed that it regards competition with Celtic and in Europe as being its continued aim and that this outlook will be reflected in the business review that will be published within the next month. "Crucially, that will allow fans sufficient time to consider the review prior to investing in season tickets but it is also important that the board has now confirmed categorically that they will not use Ibrox or Murray Park as security for any form of fund raising. "No one should be in any doubt that this public statement and commitment is significant and should be appreciated as such. "Statements from a public company board are intended to be relied upon so in a couple of weeks we can expect a business review that will reflect the board's ambition and a funding plan to achieve this. "We can also rely on the fact that if circumstances change the board would be bound to advise the public in advance of this." He added: "The board has now communicated with the fans and has committed to do so in more detail within a month. "Let us give the board time to comply with its commitment. "I advised the board that I would wish to be a part of the required fund-raising as a component of a united fan group investment vehicle. This will require further discussion after release of the review in the next month."

King to set out pay-as-they-play scheme to Rangers fans
rbr replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
It hasnt even been confirmed that the club has drawn down the money , yet the assets have still been signed over -

Rangers media is a cesspit , end off , I cannot take that place seriously , how they allow some of the posts and threads is beyond me

This whols season ticket /seast carry on is tedious ,I maty be getting on a bit but when I firsat took out a season ticket in 1985 , I was very much in the minority it just wasnt the usual thing to do , then the Souness revolution came and the clamour that came with it . It sounds like you are causing grave offence , shagging someones ma , or any number of extremes , when the subject of these seats comes up , Ibrox is rarely a sell out , there is no waiting list for tickets , there are parts of the ground I just wont go to as the view for me is rotten , yet when people talk about losing thier seats it goes pear shape ,I dont get it to be honest

Received this email today Over 650 Bears in 5 days We have had a fantastic response since launching the campaign at 4pm on Wednesday 5th of March with over 650 Rangers fans committing to RangersFirst. Our initial launch has mainly focused on Twitter and Facebook with almost all our traffic coming from both social networks. On average for every 10 visitors to the RangersFirst website a fan signs up. In the next 7-14 days we plan to launch the RangersFirst Promotional Video which will explain the CIC concept in detail. We are also in the process of setting up our road show team that will visit Supporters Clubs and Rangers affiliated venues across the UK

When Big Eck took over from Dick Advocatt one of the first things he did , especially against celtic was to go 4-3-3 , everyone though we would get done , but it worked a treat time after time , infact his record against O'neills celtic was brilliant , it just goes to show what happens if your prepared to gamble . What I dont get with Allys teams is how someone who was so exciting and has such a lust for life can put out such dreadful teams to watch
