Guest Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Would be happy to donate what I can to a fund, we should try and set this up via RM instead of going thru RFFF, we could raise the funds, notify the family and the Club and have the money ready for whatever game they can make, even the SC Final may be too short notice for such a long journey Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamthedanger 2,855 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Be great if this happened. Will dontate to any fund that's put up for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,291 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 IMO it would be a better gesture being at Ibrox....full of bears, rather than half the stadium being full of spoon burners. First home game next season would be ideal. Thinking out loud....would getting her to unfurl the Championship flag be a step too far?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly far too painful a memory for them? I dont see how seeing their Sons former Club and its fans paying tribute to him could be anything but a good thing for them.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Would be great if this could happen. Would mean the world to the girl to have thousands of people on her side during such a difficult time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chineseboy 1,563 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I siad a while ago that it would have been great to have them over for the Alloa game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstamomusa 3,809 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 14 hours ago, The Beast said: As we all know Arnold was murdered in his native Honduras five months ago. Many of us saw Arnold's widow tweet her congratulations after we secured promotion. As first suggested by another RM member (I can't remember who sorry), it would be a magnificent gesture if Arnold's family were brought over to Scotland for a Rangers game and given a VIP trip in memory of one of our own. I'd like to propose that a small portion of the RFFF is used for this. I know this is not what the fund was set up for but the gesture that the trip was paid for by ordinary fans would surely mean so much to his family. Of course if the club contributed then that would be most welcome. I don't know what the process is to request something from the RFFF (or even if such a process exists) but maybe someone on here does and will advise how this can be achieved. Edit: this was bombaybadboy08's idea so all credit goes to him. Good idea, although, I thought the RFFF was earmarked to pay for the new stand & dressing rooms at Auchenhowie. Anyone know if all the money is going to that? I think the club should organize something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuoso 27,180 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Contact Jim Hannah: jimhannah@rangers.co.uk https://www.facebook.com/Jimbo1872 https://twitter.com/RFC_Jim I'd be very surprised if he doesn't take this onboard and have the club arrange it.

How embarassing to contact them, they agree to come only for us not to have the budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
