BEARGER 1,830 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 TODAY Rangers is proud to launch a ground-breaking campaign, ‘Everyone Anyone’ which aims to unite people from all backgrounds, cultures and communities. This new initiative will promote Rangers as a modern football club through which fans can come together and support a common cause – equality for everyone. In collaboration with the Rangers Charity Foundation, we will work across the club to champion diversity, encourage tolerance and understanding, and promote positive behaviour as part of this ambitious new strategy. https://rangers.co.uk/news/club/rangers-launch-new-diversity-inclusion-campaign/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post forlanssister 3,114 Posted July 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Meanwhile the waiting list for a wheelchair space remains over a decade long and once again this close season not one new single wheelchair space has been created. Four years ago when charges were introduced we were informed that any monies raised would be ring fenced for increased facilities, we're still waiting to see one penny spent in that area.

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) It's a tick-box publicly exercise really, isn't it. All clubs do it, which makes it generic and rather hollow - particularly when fs's post is taken into consideration.

Tannochsidebear 2,420 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Yes, its an absolutely hollow gesture from the club which annoys me. Get the feckin wheelchair spaces sorted, get access for disabled fans sorted, dont make a song and dance about it, just get it feckin done. While all our supporters are taken for granted at times, the disabled Rangers supporters are treated with utter contempt and as a club we should be ashamed of how little we have done in this area. But never mind, we have clearly spent a large sum of money on this campaign which will do very little to nothing to improve access/facilities for match-going fans on matchdays, so all must be good then! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you are not having a go at the club for focussing it's finances on putting a winning team on the park? There's no doubt that there are many competing priorities for the limited finances available. Maybe Club 1872 could take this issue up on behalf of the fans. That aside, I welcome publicity like this because we need to do all we can as a club to make it clear that any intolerance is condemned by the club. That's surely a positive thing, even if it's unlikely to result in change. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No @Gaffer I was referring to the Anyone Everyone campaign which the thread is about, a total waste of time if the club is not going to look after our match-going fans or comply with recommended guidelines for number of disabled/wheelchair seats/spaces. Its just a grubby PR exercise from the club. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charloch 52 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Concerned that Rangers’ female supporters are being thrown under the bus by the club in their endorsing of the gender identity agenda. This woke nonsense impresses no one but the politicians. Edited July 23, 2019 by Charloch 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see shit like this and the SD issue I realise just how much still has to be done to strengthen the management team running the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a grubby PR exercise from the club. Sadly my personal experience over the decades just backs that up. I've been the Chairman of the Rangers Disabled Supporters Club for more years than I care to remember, sat as the disabled representative on the Rangers Fans Board, been on the Disability Matter Group since its inception. This scheme was apparently 18 months in the making and yet the first I heard about it was when I saw it on twitter. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
