BEARGER 1,830 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 POLL: Rangers Charity Foundation Dream Fund Project Club 1872 is pleased to put forward a project to members to fund two elements of this year's Rangers Charity Foundation Dream Fund. The Rangers Charity Foundation helps bring smiles to the faces of those supporters who are in need of a boost through their Dream Fund. The Fund is used to pay for special Rangers experiences throughout the season for children and adults whose lives have been impacted by the likes of disability, illness or other difficult circumstances. The Rangers Charity Dream Fund is made up of a number of exclusive experiences. These include the behind the scenes Dream Days which involve attendees meeting the entire first team squad and watching them train at the Hummel Training Centre before heading to Ibrox for lunch and a tour. The Dream Fund Kids' Christmas Party sees 60 children invited from nominees and charity partners for buffet dinner, entertainment, gifts, Santa and Broxi Bear. The proposal to members is to fund the Dream Days for this current season and the Kids' Christmas Party. The total cost of funding these activities is £2000. The member poll will run for one week and close on Thursday 17th October 2019 at midnight. To vote please click the link below, enter your login details and you will be redirected to the poll page.

plgsarmy 111 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 This is a small amount of money but it seems to me that Club 1872 members are being asked to fund something that would be happening anyway. This is not the type of project that I had envisaged when I was on the Club 1872 Working Group. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffer 1,665 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 It's difficult for Club 1872 these days because the original purpose (at least my understanding of it) was to buy enough shares to help protect the club from future disasters. It is unlikely that we will ever have enough, and as the club's fortunes improve it becomes even less likely that enough people will contribute. It's time Club 1872 therefore reflects on its purpose. I'll be happy to continue to put money into it and have a group of fans decide how best that money is spent. Funding events like these are important and worthwhile but I agree that members' expectations need to be managed better to avoid frustration or worse. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are looking good at present on the financial front, we have people in control who are Rangers fans and business men. Everything looks rosy, just the same as most fans thought during the reign of SDM. Club1872 should be concentrating on financing share purchases at every opportunity. It looks to me that the board of Club1872 are looking for things to do to to justify their position. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) This is truly pathetic stuff from the latest hapless incarnation of the RST. No, a better word would be embarrassing. Actually, even the RST would have baulked at this rubbish. Is this really what they think the support expects from its largest representative organisation?

Bluedell 5,627 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 This isn't what C1872 funds should be used for and have voted against them both. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
