    Buy Rangers

    WATP_Greg replied to Hildy's topic in Rangers Chat

    Not that I know of - as a member of RF and the RST I don't see the issue as some do. I think we should be positive about each of the organisations and let the support choose which option they think is right for them and the club. All this 'my ball' stuff doesn't sit well with me. At the end of the day it's about our football team that we all love. Not about egos. If it's good for Rangers and the Rangers support then I'll be happy

    Buy Rangers

    WATP_Greg replied to Hildy's topic in Rangers Chat

    Well that's down to the members of both organisations to decide - OMOV I would need to understand the proposal. RF is about buying as a means to getting ACT where as BR is about pure FO from my understanding so which one would take precedence? I think they are two different vehicles that offer choice. I assume we will all vote in similar ways at the GM

    Buy Rangers

    WATP_Greg replied to Hildy's topic in Rangers Chat

    That accusation annoys me - as part of RF I have never undermined the actions of the RST - I'm a member myself. Personally I don't see the need, if RF is a success then it will help Rangers, if BR is a success it will help Rangers...either way I get what i want and what I care about. I prefer RF's model but anyone getting involved should be commended. It's the average fan that is the important one in either organisation. As without them (us) there is no way to help the club

    Buy Rangers

    WATP_Greg replied to Hildy's topic in Rangers Chat

    How has the uptake been in the last few days? Hopefully between BR and RF we can get a significant shareholding ASAP
  6. WATP_Greg
    So close 1677 (http://www.rangersfirst.org/rangers-share-issue/) 13 more and I would have been happy
  7. WATP_Greg
    Been really pleased with the progression over the last couple of days

    I'll have to get back to you - not because i'm on another forum but I start work in 15 minutes with Mark Walters and Graham Roberts in the pub tonight. However, as someone who is on record as wanting a position on the board it surprises me that you doubt it will ever make an impact - makes me question why you want a position on such board? I know you want there to be expenses but I fully expect the membership to ratify what was discussed at the initial meeting of their being no financial reward for RF work so hopefully you are just being a pessimist. Now is the time. Lets do something for the club and the support.

    I agree mate, we all wanted the ticker from the start so happy to see it there now. That's the kind of transparency that I want to see and surely it will hold RF in good stead. Personally, I believe now is the time that something has to be done - I think most fans are at their wits end with it all. The retail section is really good - I have been consistently using the Amazon link (http://www.amazon.co.uk/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=ur2&tag=rangfirs-21) for the last month or so. Every little helps and I would wager RF have received at least the equivalent of another membership from myself. Its really easy

    With the video released yesterday there has been a significant upturn in the membership based on the ticker next to the video (http://www.rangersfirst.org/rangers-share-issue/) with dozens joining in the last day or so. Hopefully this is the opportunity for it to go 'viral' and let the average Rangers fan know about it. I have seen a good deal of encouraging feedback over the last couple of day and I'm opimistic about RF. We'll see I guess.

    Friday night football is here so come down to The Louden Tavern: Ibrox Stadium for the Quintessential Televised Football Viewing Experience and watch the match amongst your own. We will have a cracking night to hopefully set up the weekend in style with a win from Rangers. We will be showing the match live on our six 60” TVs in full high definition – the way televised football should be shown. We invite any Rangers Supporter who can make it to the vicinity of the home of fantasy football to join us in celebrating the continuing unbroken history of the most successful team in the history of the game. Renowned for our quick service, our staff will ensure you never have to wait long to get a drink. We provide an atmosphere second to none and for clarification – we don’t and never have had a cover charge. Come in for The Premier Rangers Supporters’ Matchday Experience in The Quintessential Rangers Supporters Pub. And of course we will still be providing our much sought after free rolls. Situated across from Ibrox Subway Station, there is easy access to and from all city destinations. If you are not able to attend our premises we hope that you will use your local Rangers Supporters pub or club. All Rangers minded venues need your help – use them or lose them!

    I enjoyed it bud You lads are a bit mental but certainly worth a listen - and I was laughing away at the 'ehhhhhhhhh' bits

I've seen videos of Walters in particular and he looked a cracking player.

    The SPL done that and set the precedent I suppose... But no
  16. WATP_Greg
    Zero tolerance on the abuse. Though he now calls himself merlin so does that count? Need to go to a abuse decision panel to decide
  17. WATP_Greg
    We didn't do formal minutes as the discussion was very fluid - however the take away from the meeting is to try and work together to come out with a code of conduct. I thought Ace from RM summed it up pretty fairly: "Ok folks, the meeting finish at 2:45pm Everyone attending agreed that as a first step, we try to reduce the amount of personal abuse that floats around forums etc. (yes, forums aren't the only place it happens) Initially, a first pass 'charter' will be produced for all who attended to review & make comment or suggest changes. This is aimed at Rangers sites/forums to sign up to and try to reduce the personal stuff that is thrown about. As for FB & twitter, as they are far more personal, the only real suggestion is 'if you don't like it .. block them' This was never going to be about one meeting to rule them all, it's a first step on a path to trying to improve the overall relationship Hopefully, the more it happens the better everyone relates to each other and, imagine it .... we start to agree on stuff." Though I would add the facebook/twitter section is to be elaborated on a bit - with the possible inclusion of a procedure for blocking abusive posters for instance
  18. WATP_Greg
    I didn't think it a sly dig - it was an expression of opinion. There was no abuse in that post at all. The code of conduct is not about taking away people's opinions at all - it is about people being able to express them without abuse - debate and criticism is perfectly acceptable. What is the internet for if it is not to discuss things?
  19. WATP_Greg
    The agenda was published before hand - I'm transparent. I'm also disappointed that after intimating to us that they would attend that VB did not appear. Frankly I think today was a worthwhile exercise where it might not be the thing to sort out all of our problems I am happy to have attended and think most there were in agreement. Could you clarify by what you mean by my capacity?
  20. WATP_Greg
    I have often seen that alleged - not seen it confirmed though.
  21. WATP_Greg
    Sold Out in under 4 hours
  22. WATP_Greg
    Well if we can stop with the insults that will be a start
  23. WATP_Greg
    I don't permit anyone to do anything - We live in a free country and what anyone does on their own time is their business - tomorrow's meeting is no secret. If you look at the rules listed earlier one of them is that we will not allow abuse of other individuals or groups. I don't know what you think will happen tomorrow. RST representatives have been in the pub on a number of occasions and never once had an issue (that I am aware of).
  24. WATP_Greg
    I'm sorry I disagree. I made that post before anyone was announced as having accepted going - I think as (I assume) the largest Rangers forum online FF have a responsibility to the support as a source of unbiased information,. But that is my personal opinion and one which others do not share. Being involved in Rangers at any level is a recipe for rumour - Something which I have grew up around. I find the best way to tackle these things is to be honest.
  25. WATP_Greg
    Well sadly FF aren't coming - Which disappoints me. Regarding the rest, it is up to them the degree to which they want to engage in the process of helping the online Rangers community become a more civil place. I'd like to think that by attending they are showing that they care at least. At the end of the day you can only control your own actions in all of this - but I hope to see some insights coming from tomorrow's meeting.
