GovanAllan 0 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 He was praising fans for doing it of their own accord. He was having a go at the club for allowing it to get to such a stage. Stand corrected CJ But the club can't pay these bills under the Admin rules I think, again if I'm wrong it won't be the first or last time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 0 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Playing devil's advocate, Posh Deli might have their facts slightly wrong. Looks like a Gers fan had a charity night in aid of RFFF. However, if they collected, say 10,000 they could donate 5,000 to RFFF and use the other 5,000 for paying some small creditors. RFFF then wouldnt be in any breach as they only received the 5,000 - how those organising distribute the funds will be their concern - however, you would be right if all the proceeds went to RFFF and then RFFF paid this small creditor. I dont know the exact nature of the transactions though, obviously. As I said, right behind doing this to make reparations, and there have been some very generous acts to do so(Glencairn Crystal, Sonsie Face). If there was no RFFF involvement, fair enough, but it's an area which needs clarification. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 0 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I believe that the cash used to pay them did not come from the RFFF. No problem whatsoever with that, indeed I would have no problem with the RFFF paying if that was what it was set up to do. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RFFF didn't clarify the payment that they did make to a creditor so they could be using the cash to do it to pay other creditors for all we know. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that it specifically wasn't. They announced that there would be no creditors paid and then the first thing they did was to pay one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they can't pay them at this time, but it would be good if it could be done post-administration. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A political act, lacking in dignity as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Glad to see more pride and honour has come to the fore, in paying what is due. I hope the RFFF continues after our problems are sorted, by using the supporters money for good causes it raises our profile and shows what we as a group can achieve. I will keep donating to the RFFF as long as it continues. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
