All going well, both GersNet banners will be on display from the Copland Rear at the Boro game. Failing that, they will be at Fir Park for the first game of the season (via being the back drop to Dels wedding photos) and at the first home league game of the season Anyone want to volunteer taking them the first home game of the season? If so reply to this thread and we'll arrange to meet you before the game to give you the banner(s). Cammy F

Aye, could be gersnet policy to get a new banner every season Only if me and Del don't get landed with carrying all the feckers to all the matches - been stopped and searched outside football grounds more times that Pete Docherty has been at bloody airports - not to mention run ins with stewards, Police etc !! Cammy F

Cheers Craig Right folks, get donating.... As for another banner, maybe better going back to the GersNet 1 design, buy 10/12 flags and get them stiched together and have the web addy painted / stitched on to it?? Or, the guy at the Ibrox Primary sells large Saltires for �£30 - get on of those and get http://www.gersnet.info on it?? Anyhoo, we'll get this one completed first before thinking about the next one :admin: Cammy F

Nah, been to Frankie's vineyard and it's no a patch on The Mints Cammy F

Pity TBO didn't copyright their display Cammy F

Wayhay, David Hagan from The BU's.... Cammy F

Craig, if we could use your paypal account for donations, that would be great. Can you post the details on this, or start an new thread with the details so folks can start donating Cammy F

Meant to say that I'll pay for the printing up front and get the donations in as and when people can manage. That way, the banner will be ready for the start of the season Cammy F

Right folks, we need to get �£65 pounds raised to pay for the printing of the new GersNet banner (http://www.gersnet.info/vb/showthread.php?t=706). Craig has already kindly pledged a very generous donation so anything you can spare will be most appreciated. Hopefully Stu will read this post and post details of the GersNet Pay Pal account for you guys to make a donation. Failing that, I'll accept cheques etc Cammy F

If you want the address of where I got the material and where we are getting them printed, I can supply the details. The material is very cheap and got it from a fabric shop in Falkirk - it comes in 15 * 7.5 foot lengths and they do most colours. However, we have struggled to get anyone in Scotland to print our banners as they claim only to print flags that they have produced. So, I would try the web and get quotes on pre-made and pre-printed banners first. The printing is the hardest thing to arrange . Cammy F

It's �£2.50 per letter and �£25-�£35 for the crest - so if my arthmatic is correct, the total cost, not including packaging will be - �£65. The cost of the material was �£40 and that is my donation for the banner. Del arranged to have the banner stitched together Cammy F

Frankie - first class m8 - you couldn't 'shirnk' the badge a wee bit on the BTB one could you Cammy F

Hi Guys, Just been off the phone to the printers that are going to print the banner. It will take about 1 week for them to print the banner so I will arrange to have it posted down. Now, here is where I need you guys help Frankie, could you if possible, russle up a couple of 'mock-up's' for the GersNet and BTB banners? I ask this as you are good with the old paint-shop pro / photo-shop and the fact that the printers want a 'design' sent down so they know exactly what to print!! Amybe post them in here so folks can see how the banner will look once its printed !! Del, can we arrange to meet up and get the banner that you have and I'll send them down ASAP. Frankie, here is what the banners should look like ; GersNet - Blue, white and red 'tri-clour' with GERSNET LOYAL (in black letters) with the RFC 5 Star crest. BTB - Blue, white and red 'tri-clour' with Bo'ness True Blues RSC (black lettering along the top), the traditional Rangers Ready Crest in the middle and Established 1946 in black lettering along the bottom. Your help in this guys is most appreciated. Cammy F

Excellent News, welcome back Barray and here's to a successful season and hope he gets back to his brilliant best. Cammy F

Cheers Cammy F

Any idea what this is about? I haven't and arne't going to registar for the official site, so any insight would be appreciated. Cammy F

A few folks on FF have written some lyrics around this great chant and here is my first draft ; For ever and ever, We�ll Follow the Rangers, Where ever you go-o, we'll always be with you! We're loyal and true-ue, forever true blue-ue, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers R-a-n-g-e-r-s, Rangers, Rangers Forever! For We are The People, who follow the Rangers! Our flags always flying, the blue sea of Ibrox! Onwards to Glory, follow follow the Rangers! Rangers, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers R-a-n-g-e-r-s, Rangers, Rangers Forever! We follow The Rangers, with pride in our hearts! we are the true blu-ues, the teddy bears fans! So let's sing together, For ever and ever ..... Rangers, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers R-a-n-g-e-r-s, Rangers, Rangers Forever! Cammy F

Here is a list of things that David E Murray needs to turn his attention to as soon as PLG confirms that he has the tools in place to get us back to the top of the pile domestically and build on the very going showing in last seasons CL. Youth Development; Back on my high horse here ââ?¬â?? we urgently need to get this back under our own control. We urgently need to turn ââ?¬Ë?Murray Parkââ?¬â?¢ ââ?¬â?? which is essentially a training facility into a Youth Development Centre. We must hire the best coaches and the best scouts to ensure that we are getting the best crop of youngsters from all over the world. They must be houses and schooled at Murray Park. PR Department ; Again, another pet hate for many Rangers supporters. We urgently need to get an effective PR department that will challenge the lies, half-truths and innuendoes printed in the press. A PR Department that will represent Rangers and us the fans at anti-sectarian events and not allow our enemies to dictate the sectarian agenda. This PR Department would ideally be staffed by Rangers fans, and possibly run in conjunction with The RST and this Bear would nominate David Edgar as the new head of PR. Fans Groups ; The RST, TBO, FF, No1 Fanzine as well as the supporters association would all share the responsibility of liaising between the club and the fans. This would include inputs into stewarding (home, away and Europe), fans displays, travel, away ticketing prices / allocation etc. Also, this would include drawing up a schedule for first and second team players to represent the club at Supporters Clubs functions. Failure to attend would lead to fines. They would also work with the club to ensure that the Rangers Museum becomes a reality. Ticket Office ; Firstly, this would be moved from a port-a-cabin at the Craptic end to a permanent building within Ibrox. It would be managed and staffed by highly skilled and effective customer care professionals. After all, they are dealing with people who are spending hard earned cash to follow Rangers ââ?¬â?? they would be courteous, helpful and bend over to help the Rangers fans. Financial Growth This includes long-term business goals that will ensure the financial stability of the club for generations. It means the board of directors searching high and low for potential backers and when they have identified them, get them to put money into the club to help finance transfer, wages, youth development etc. Official Publications ; As said previously, these need a major overhaul and I would like to see the fans becoming involved in the authoring and publishing of articles from the Rangers News, Rangers TV, the match programme and the official web-site. Match Day Experience ; Supporters groups like TBO, CDL, CRL etc would be given access to Ibrox on a match day to place flags, banners, TIFO, etc all over stadium. The club would help pay and store ALL banners and these would be allowed to be draped over the stands for a certain time prior to kick-off and at half-time. The pre-match entertainment would be used to build up an atmosphere with the playing of Rangers songs like The Blue Sea Of Ibrox, Follow Follow, Every Other Saturday, Wolverhampton Town etc (the original version, not some raved up versions), with fans URGED to join in and wave flags, scarves, banners etc. So in summary, whilst congratulating David E Murray for capturing one of the best young managers in Europe, he still has a lot of work to do to make Rangers FC the club that we all want and deserve.

Isn't his wife the sister of that bird that does the 'Hollywood' reports for GMTV? Carla Romano? Cammy F

Where as Jeffers has just signed for Blackburn Cammy F

But, it could be argued that his 'religion' has made him the person he is - in respect of his feelings for our club. Cammy F
