Stimpy 0 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Trying to get snippets from tonight by text. So far Bomber's claimed that Ticketus are behind Green, he slaughtered SDM and Coisty is getting it as I type. Not sure on the proposals but looks as though something along the lines of supporting the FO schemes has been agreed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StrathBear Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 What are the chances of something really significant and actually "game changing" coming out of this meeting? I'm half expecting the result to be a slight change in direction, but ultimately more of the same moaning and groaning at the board. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,665 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Some more detail: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/rangers/rangers-fans-turn-up-heat-on-board-183648n.25536056? DISGRUNTLED Rangers supporters are set to boycott a game at Ibrox at the end of this month in a bid to force shareholder Sandy Easdale out of the club. And brassed-off Gers fans are also set to stage "flash mob" events at Sports Direct stores throughout Scotland and in England this weekend. They will gather at shops owned by Newcastle owner Mike Ashley on Saturday unless he rips up the naming rights to Ibrox. The move follows a meeting of several hundred Rangers supporters at the Hilton Grosvenor Hotel in Glasgow last night. The gathering was organised by fans group Sons of Struth and was backed by club legend John Brown. Sons of Struth polled their 1,500 members last month about staging a boycott of Rangers matches. And their latest proposals received the "emphatic" backing of those in attendance at the rally last night. They are urging fans to turn out in numbers for "Armed Forces Day" on Saturday week when Rangers play Raith Rovers at Ibrox to "show the board what they are missing". But in the next home game after that, against St Johnstone in the League Cup on Tuesday, October 28, they are asking supporters to protest outside. Sons of Struth organiser Craig Houston said: "We got some really good feedback from the meeting. There was a lot of energy in the room. "We went over the results of our survey. We put the proposals which have been accepted my our members to the room and they backed them overwhelmingly. "We will now take them to the Union of Fans and hopefully they will get behind them along with the wider fan base." He continued: "We are going to ask all of the fans who have not been going to games this season to turn up at Armed Forces Day at Ibrox on Saturday, October 18. "We want them all to show the board what they have been missing this season by coming along to the game. "But at the next home game against St. Johnstone in the League Cup on Tuesday, October 28, we will do something different. "We are going to ask fans to travel to the game as normal so they are still supporting the local bus companies who rely on their business. "But when they get to the game we want them to protest outside the front door for half an hour, as we are entitled to do. "We will also ask the fans who are going to matches on a game-by-game basis to donate their ticket money into a fund. "Their cash will then be split between Buy Rangers and Rangers First and will go towards buying shares in the club. "All I'm saying is: 'I'm not going to this game'. I would ask people who are of a similar mind to do the same thing." Ashley, who became the second largest shareholder in Rangers behind Laxey Partners last week, bought the naming rights to Ibrox for £1. The Sons of Struth have called on him to tear up the agreement - and will hold "flash mob" demonstrations on Saturday if he does not. Houston explained: "If Mike Ashley still owns the naming rights to Ibrox on Saturday we will be holding events at Sports Direct Strores in Glasgow. "We have also been contacted by fans down south and in other areas of Scotland and even in England who feel strongly about the situation. "A flash mob is a group of people who assemble in a public place and perform a seemingly pointless act for a brief period of time. "What we are going to be doing is a perfectly legal form of protest. We want Mike Ashley to cancel the naming rights agreement he has for the stadium. "The other action is to have Sandy Easdale removed because we believe his presence and actions are hindering the club." Meanwhile, Rangers shareholders have turned up the heat on chairman David Somers by urging him to take responsibility for the ongoing boardroom problems at Ibrox. Somers was criticised earlier this year after claiming his £2,500-a-day remuneration package was "poor" and now disgruntled investors have had their say on his performance. Several shareholders in Rangers International Football Club plc have written to businesses where Somers holds positions and questioned his controversial Ibrox tenure. The 66-year-old accountant is a non-executive director and chairman of the audit and risk committee of Europe Arab Bank and independent trustee and chairman of the investment sub-committee at Fujitsu Technologies International Pension Plan. He is also a non-executive director of ACE Europe Life. Light Blues shareholders have highlighted director Sandy Easdale's recent meeting with convicted fraudster Rafat Rizvi, who Easdale says has no involvement at Ibrox. The shareholders have also claimed they are ashamed to have Somers as chairman of Rangers. The pressure on Somers comes in the aftermath of repeated calls for Easdale to be sacked from his position on the club's football board. Union of Fans spokesman Chris Graham told SportTimes: "David Somers was brought in to much fanfare prior to the last AGM with talk of improving corporate governance at the club. "We have asked for a response to Sandy Easdale's comments regarding the finances, we have asked for a response on Easdale's status and what the football board is for, and we have asked for a response on his meetings with Rizvi. We have had absolutely nothing back. "If David Somers wants to be portrayed as someone who is going to sort out the corporate governance then he needs to take responsibility for that side of things. "A number of shareholders have contacted some of the companies he is involved with to ask, 'Are you happy with how he is acting and would you stand for it if he was part of your board?' "We will see if they have any comment on his actions as chairman of Rangers." Fans claim they have been left in the dark about the the club's future. Rangers have not released their accounts and can hold off until the end of the year before holding an AGM that could lead to new investment. Graham said: "This AGM is crucial to the financial position of the club. The board have said they want to get shareholder approval to raise more money through a share issue. "It is understandable that fans are concerned and are wondering when this AGM will be held." We were unable to get a response from Rangers to these latest developments. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
