Supporters Trusts in the UK: did you know?

[Frankie 8,825]

Apparently I've not been spared opprobrium though so I may not make the pearly gates....

 

To be fair to UCB, I think he's been reasonably open so far to us so we can only give him the time he requests to examine the issues he mentions. He's also asked for suggestions, so why not take your concerns and put them forward in a more formal sense - RST member or not?

I'm off to look up opprobrium to see if I've not been spared it either........... and these days I prefer 'RST Life Member, Retired' - it's got a certain cache to it that's not often found.

Well the RST could do worse than to either re-visit their 15 point plan from a few years ago, or the absolutely splendid STS publication (I would say that of course), as a starting point for the issues that matter to Rangers fans.

 

I would love to see the RST taking on issues like a Rangers museum, the matchday atmosphere, or commercial income streams, and coming up with a costed, positive, plan of action to put forward to the club as a starting off point.

 

Of course, the problem is that the board ignored the STS publication as pointless as the RFC board would not want to take these things seriously, so I am having some difficulty in working out what they actually now want to do, other than media stuff, and what they are doing it for.

 

That would be the starting off point for me, to find out if this is a serious attempt to put forward some positive plan of action, or just a "we need to do something, even the Assembly looks to be getting better organised, and our numbers aren't going the right way" kind of reactionery plan.

 

If I believed that the RST was now taking a very different line of action than it has for the last year and is looking to put some solid work in on a positive agenda to give the club well-worked out alternatives to the club's current malaise, I would be delighted, and so would many other bears.

TB, thank you very much.

 

Without commenting point-by-point, I can assure you that the general thrust of what you're saying will definitely be fed into discussions about how the Trust moves forward.

 

I can imagine coming back to you to discuss in more detail at some point, if that's OK?

Always happy to discuss anything to do with Rangers with like-minded bears UCB, especially if it involves positive proactive topics.

 

I look forward to it.
