Is that to do with Club1872 regs? Or it would just take up too much of your time?

Club 1872 Board Elections - Applications Dear Member, The Club 1872 board elections have been delayed for a significant period of time due to the process of adopting new Articles of Association for Club 1872 Shares CIC, in conjunction with the CIC Regulator. This delay was regrettable and we apologise for it, but the continuity provided by the current board overseeing this process was very important. We thank the Regulator for her help in assisting the current board to put in place a robust and transparent governance framework for the organisation which will serve it very well in the years to come. Now that this work has been completed, the Club 1872 companies are accepting applications for the Club 1872 boards.

Aye it’s on page 2.

The club article refers to him as Mr Brown throughout. Seems a bit old fashioned, is this due to his age and the times when he played and managed?

https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/bobby-brown-1923-2020/ 15 January 2020, 19:30 by Rangers Football Club EVERYONE at Rangers FC is in mourning today after learning that club legend and former Scotland goalkeeper and manager Bobby Brown has sadly passed away at the age of 96. Mr Brown, from Dunipace, joined Bill Struth’s Light Blues from Queen’s Park in 1946 and in his decade long spell at Ibrox he made 296 appearances, keeping 109 clean sheets. For six years – between 10 August 1946 and 16 April 1952 – he never missed a league game, playing in an astonishing run of 179 matches. Prior to that, in January 1946, he was handed the first of his five Scotland caps, making his debut in a 2-2 draw against Belgium at Hampden Park. Tall, blond and agile, Mr Brown was the last line in a famous Rangers defence which became known as the Iron Curtain and also featured George Young, Jock Shaw, Ian McColl, Willie Woodburn and Sammy Cox. He played as a part-timer throughout his Gers career, combining football with life as a schoolmaster. He also had what was then the unusual habit of making sure he turned out with a new pair of white laces in his boots for every game he played in. After succeeding Jerry Dawson between the posts, one of Rangers’ finest goalkeepers who had been at the club since 1929, Mr Brown was to win three League Championships (1946/47, 1948/49 and 1949/50), three Scottish Cups (1948, 1949 and 1950) and two League Cups (1946/47 and 1948/49). Indeed, he was an ever-present during the historic 1948/49 season when Rangers became the first team to win the treble. In May 1956, Mr Brown was transferred to Falkirk for £2,200 but within a year he had retired from playing and later became manager of St Johnstone, guiding them into the top division. In February 1967 he was appointed manager of Scotland, a position he held until July 1971. Although the national team failed to qualify for the 1970 World Cup, Mr Brown had the satisfaction of a famous 3-2 victory over reigning world champions England in a European Championship qualifier at Wembley. He was inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame in 2015 having previously been inducted into the Rangers Hall of Fame in 2002. Mr Brown, who lived in Helensburgh, was a regular guest at Rangers games in recent years and everyone at the club sends their condolences to his family at this difficult time. Rangers Chairman Dave King said: “All of us connected with Rangers are deeply saddened to hear that Mr Brown, a genuine Rangers and Scotland legend, has passed away. Our thoughts are with Mr. Brown’s family at this time. “He was a wonderful servant of our club and we will remember him with great fondness. He was a gentleman of the game and set standards which typify what Rangers is about.”

Club 1872 comment on continued media targeting of Alfredo Morelos Dear Member Club 1872 informed members and Rangers supporters last week that we were taking forward a complaint about an article that appeared in the Sun newspaper which included quotes from a man they appear to have falsely presented as both a psychiatrist and a psychologist. We have now submitted this complaint to IPSO and will update members and supporters on that process at its conclusion. We are also aware of a column by Bill Leckie in the same newspaper which is full of the type of xenophobic and offensive comment which has become common place in tabloid newspapers when discussing Alfredo Morelos. Unfortunately opinion, no matter how malicious or idiotic, is not covered under IPSO regulations and we cannot use this method to challenge this column. Club 1872 is a major shareholder in the club and it is clear that this type of reporting is designed to damage the Rangers brand and create a toxic environment at a time when Rangers supporters are rightly optimistic about the future. On that basis, we remain in dialogue with Rangers about medium and longer term strategies to challenge irresponsible articles like this about our club, fans and players. We have also written to Scottish Sun Editor, Alan Muir, asking for an explanation of how Mr Leckie's description of Alfredo Morelos as a "waster" sits with their Respect Our Players campaign. It appears the Scottish Sun believes this campaign should not apply to its own columnists. We would remind Rangers supporters that the Scottish Sun, and indeed the Daily Record and other tabloid newspapers, are commercial organisations. They rely on your clicks, shares and purchases to survive. Whilst they continue to receive these clicks and shares they will continue to produce this type of content. When we ran our Change the Record campaign it had a visible effect on the number of shares and clicks for that newspaper - with many supporters choosing to block Daily Record accounts on social media. It cannot be emphasised enough how strong the position of our supporters is in dealing with this issue, if we are prepared act in unison and take decisive action. If you feel the need to comment on these type of attacks on our players and club - and we understand why people wish to do that - then we would urge you to use screenshots on social media rather than sharing links. In the meantime, there are a number of outlets which Rangers supporters can use for news about our club. These outlets provide a wealth of content including club news and debate. We have included a link to a standalone page with detail of these outlets below. It is particularly worth noting that Rangers’ own social media channels provide quicker access to regular press conference content than tabloids and that you can hear the management and players’ comments without the filter often applied to them by dishonest reporting.

The op post talks about lowering the pitch. I agree with you both.

To put this into perspective, we are taking about a 12% increase in capacity. Cannot see how that can be accomplished by just lowering pitch.

Been going to games since mid 50’s, have never been on a supporters bus. ☹️

It can be excavated and tanked, plus pumps can be installed. But I very much doubt it would give the number of seats quoted.

5-1 Stewart Penalty.

4-1

4-0 Tav.

Jones booked for simulation ??‍♂️

DJ talks some amount of mince, bring back Tom.
