SteveC 150 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) It's all very sad. The tiny silver lining on this cloud is that I was recently disappointed to find out that my standing order to the RST did not go into 1872. I had presumed that post 1872 being created - and indeed read from a poster somewhere - that the reason the RST was still taking money was that it was transferred into 1872 funds. It seems this is not the case and that the continuing deductions that are going to the RST are being used to 'tie up the loose ends there' and pay admin costs. It's only a tenner so I'm not overly bothered, and if the RST need it then that's fine, and now I am less disappointed that it is not going to 1872 than I was a couple of days ago. It would be nice to be able to give money to the club in a straightforward manner, however. Edited March 19, 2017 by SteveC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost certain that despite the unfounded accusations of the usual suspects, all RST monies are being transferred to 1872.

I had thought that way - and in exactly that frame of mind - until Christine posted to say otherwise on FF. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plgsarmy 111 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I had thought that way - and in exactly that frame of mind - until Christine posted to say otherwise on FF. To clarify, all donations for shares (previously Buy Rangers) goes to Club 1872. Payments for RST annual membership may well go to Club 1872 once the RST is wound up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Thanks, Christine. I was just about to pm you to ask if Iwas making an error. It was the annual membership to which I was referring. Two weeks ago I'd have been very keen that it went to 1872 - now, I am not really bothered Like most, I'm giving up on dreams of fan ownership as it seems to have been repeatedly proven that we are not to be trusted despite the best endeavours of good folk like yourself.

SteveC 150 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm not on FF mate. Sorry, I wan't meaning to imply that you were or should be - just saying, in shorthand, why I was no longer of the same opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Rangers team gave up every time there was a down moment we would be raging. There will always be times when things go temporarily downhill but that does not mean it is the end of the road. As the coaches would say 1872 need to sort out the problem, dust themselves down and move on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm not giving up on club1872, the objectives remain the same, just some of the faces change. Hopefully this can be ironed out amicably and we can move on. This is too important a project to let it fail at this stage. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
