RF need to tell people how they are going to vote before asking for proxies

The biggest mistake I think the board have made here is giving everyone so much time to organise. If I made that decision I would have made it for the least possible amount of time. That would have caused much more damage.

Good to see then!

They are obligated to give a notice period before having the EGM though Pete. They probably delayed as long as humanly possible.

"humanly" - remember the verminous creatures we are talking about here.

 

The EGM is going to be some 350 miles closer for me to get to than Ibrox so I will probably go (once Christine explains me vote status to me) unless warned that too many of us turning up is what they want as they can call for a postponement.

Ah well

 

Was nice while it lasted.

Among other reasons, the board probably decided on holding the EGM in London in an attempt to prevent such raucous responses as they seen at the last AGM at Ibrox.

Did they forget how many fans travelled to Manchester?

There are no depths to which these people running our Club won't stoop.

 

To a man, they are an absolute disgrace to Rangers Football Club.

RST Statement on EGM

6th February 2015

 

Now that the date of the Rangers EGM has been set for the 4th March, the Rangers Supporters Trust would once again like to reiterate how important it is for fan shareholders to cast their vote.

 

Again this board has shown its utter contempt for the 5,000 small shareholders in Rangers by holding the upcoming EGM in London. This can only be designed to make it much more difficult for fan shareholders to have their say at perhaps the most critical time in the club's history.

 

They will now have to incur costs to attend, will have to proxy their votes to those attending or will have to cast their votes by post.

 

The RST will be contacting all these shareholders directly within the next week to provide detailed guidance on how to make sure their vote counts and we urge them to do nothing until they receive this guidance, unless of course they are 100% sure how to effectively cast their vote.

 

We will also be contacting the Nomad, WH Ireland, over the weekend to express our displeasure at the EGM arrangements. Not only have they made it difficult and costly for shareholders based in Scotland to attend, they have also failed to make adequate arrangements for those who may wish to travel.

 

Also, we note the venue holds only 500 people. There were more than 2000 in attendance at the recent AGM and even more at the AGM in 2013.

 

We will be seeking clarity from the Nomad on what arrangements will be made if more than 500 shareholders turn up - something we fully expect to happen because it is essential for shareholders to vote.

 

Clearly this board are afraid and are counting on the possibility that many fans will be put off by the venue. But let's show them that the Rangers’ shareholder base is up for the fight.

 

Our message is simple, wait for guidance and then move swiftly and decisively to cast your vote or your proxy to remove the toxic individuals currently inhabiting the boardroom.
