BEARGER

It’s the number on my card😡 The same as last year, why the need for this email? Next they will be reminding us of our seat number. Flurry of emails from club yesterday and today.

Received an email from Rangers giving me a “active smart card number” for this season. Is this a new security feature for this year? Where do we use this number?

Very impressed so far. 1-0 scorer Middleton.

Rangers 3 - 0 Kilmarnock FGS Colak

Yes.

So far £5M. https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/18815531.amp/

What about non board members with a large shareholding? The other guy I was thinking about was Stuart Gibson who became involved via George Taylor. Just found an article from 2 years ago where he says he would not be joining the board, things change though. Wondering if a take over is planned by the far east people in the next few years?

Documents filed with companies house today confirm George Taylor’s appointment to the board of RIFC plc. Also, he’s allotted the title of ‘person with significant control’ of the company alongside Barry Scott, Julian Wolhardt and Alastair Johnston.

Who was the other guy from far east that was also involved with DK? Was there not a rumour about further major investment from there?

Sorry about that. We mix up. Will sort it out.

!

As title 79 years old.

Union Saint-Gilloise 0 - 1 Rangers FGS Tillman

I’m happy🤣

Souter having a nightmare.

Peter Lawwell is coming back as chairman, Shockerooni- not.

Just a talking shop where individuals can plead but with no collective fans group it’s toothless.

Contributor Blog Post Dear Contributor, We are pleased to be presenting Contributor blogs again, with a piece looking at BBC Scotland ending Rangers boycott To view the blog, please click here. Contributors who are interested in writing for Club 1872, are welcome to contact us at info@club1872.co.uk. Best wishes, Club 1872 BBC Scotland End Rangers Boycott July 27, 2022 Contributors Blog Since August 2015, when Rangers banned the then BBC Scotland Sport Chief Reporter Chris McLaughlin, BBC Scotland have boycotted Ibrox. They refused to send staff to cover Rangers games in a show of solidarity with their journalist/presenter. Rangers did not ban the BBC. In some quarters it has been misconstrued for near seven years that Rangers had banned the Corporation. Many Rangers fans, as individuals or as groups, had voiced concerns, written letters or emails and generally showed a displeasure that they, as licence payers, were not getting their interests covered by the BBC. Others had complained heavily to the BBC about many instances of impartial reporting and complete bias against the club. In 2019 Club 1872’s complaint about Tom English’s vile comments on the safety of Rangers fans at an away game was upheld and BBC Scotland have on numerous occasions penned apologies for inaccuracies. Last week’s “apology” is not new. It’s a rehash of previous apologies and is no different to any previous apology. They stated “The BBC acknowledges that there have been occasions when parts of the coverage of Rangers FC have not met its editorial standards. It has apologised for those instances and is happy to repeat those apologies now.” Find out how to become a contributor So last week saw no new apology, only a “repeat” of previous ones. This whole sorry tale ignited so long ago that if you’d smashed a mirror in anger when the BBC had not “met its editorial standards” your self inflicted run of bad luck would be almost over. The straw that broke the camel’s back appears to have been a sports reporter’s haste to report on two arrests for alleged sectarian singing during a game v Hibs when Police Scotland actually praised the behaviour of both sets of fans. McLaughlin managed to pen and submit his piece, where he quoted crime reports, even before he scribbled his match report, which was the reason he was at Easter Road that day. But his ban wasn’t for this single act of biased journalism, it was more inline with a totting up of points or persistent fouling. Both of which weren’t unique to McLaughlin. So what has changed now after the BBC and Rangers statements? Very little, if anything at all. There’s been no comment made regarding the ban on Chris McLaughlin but with him no longer working for BBC Scotland “Sport” it’s unlikely that he’d be anywhere near Ibrox on match days anyway. There were no assurances within the BBC statement about future “balanced” reporting nor was there any mention of any retort from Rangers to any future biased reporting. Nothing seems to have changed except BBC Scotland ending their self inflicted seven year exile. No new apology, no new assurances and no mention if they’re going to pay any sum for access to Rangers which was a prerequisite for journalist access last season. The hope is that BBC Scotland have learned from their mistakes but with the extended employment of Chris McLaughlin, Tom English and Michael Stewart amongst their ranks, it’s doubtful any new-found balance or neutrality will be long lasting. Go smash a mirror and I’ll bet you even money that a bias creeps back in before your good luck returns. Join Club 1872 All Rangers, and the fans, ever wanted was fair journalism. All the BBC seemed to do was to let their journalists write and say what they wanted and then pen a worthless apology several days later. “Eat, Sleep, Slag Rangers, Repeat” may have been a suitable slogan in the corridors at 40 Pacific Quay for a while. It remains to be seen if this motto remains. The hope must be that someone somewhere in their riverside HQ can keep a rope on those who appear over anxious to report Rangers in as poor a light as possible. Will some of their agents be able to hold back their obvious hatred of our club and stick to being balanced and neutral? I think that’s doubtful and the best chance of the amnesty remaining is if those in power at the BBC are firm enough in the management of their staff. If not, we will inevitably see “Eat, Sleep, Complain to the BBC, Repeat” return as a pastime for our support. Fingers crossed. Yours John Logie Beard

Founders Trail were invited.

As title, George Taylor has joined the board.

https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/fan-engagement-update/yCljgHkAfEFTy9032qh2r RANGERS is pleased to confirm details of several new supporter focused initiatives that aim to put fans at the heart of the club. Fan engagement is critical to Rangers’ success, and the Rangers board are committed to driving best-in-class fan engagement experience and ensuring supporters voices are heard at every level. Rangers SLO Greg Marshall, who has recently returned from Frankfurt after attending the European Football Fans Congress, said: "Following our experiences in Europe and viewing what many other elite European sides have in place, we have plans to expand and grow our Fan Engagement Department and improve this crucial link we have with our fans. "The increased emphasis and investment in fan engagement will include several exciting new roles solely dedicated to ensuring that supporters’ voices are heard, alongside new and renewed initiatives to quantify feedback to the inform the key decisions taken at the club. In recent years, the world has changed, but Rangers supporters have remained loyal, and we must evolve our processes so that the connection between club and our global support continues to thrive." The key to strengthening engagement will be the introduction of regular structured dialogue between the support and the club. Rangers will hold these meetings at Ibrox and across the UK. The notes and key outputs from these meetings will be shared with all supporters via the clubs official website. Supporters can register their interest in attending any of the meetings HERE. For those who cannot attend, Rangers will issue a supporter survey that we would encourage supporters to complete. Furthermore, structured dialogue with Rangers Supporters Clubs will also take place to shape the future of a vital section of the Rangers community. The content of all structured dialogue will be shared with the Rangers board to inform decision-making and help shape the future of Rangers FC. The Fan Engagement Department will also host a drop-in session on Wednesday 10th August from 11am – 4pm in Copland House, where supporters are welcome to discuss any topics that they feel are important to them. As further outreach, we are inviting supporters to submit questions to be answered via a new feature named 'Ask Rangers' which will seek to provide a new insight into the club . To submit a question, please email slo@rangers.co.uk with the subject line 'Fan Engagement Q&A'.

When did “the Subway” become “the Tube”?

Don’t like it at all, diagonal split red and white not for me. Plus the advertising especially on the sleeve is too much.
