govanblue 16,847 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I’m delighted to inform you that the highly-popular Commemorative medals are now back in Stock – but stocks are limited - so don't hang about! Commissioned by the County Armagh RSCs to raise money for Rangers-Family Causes, these medals have been massively successful, and the medals have raised many tens of thousands of pounds. Current proceeds go to the Rangers Former Players Benevolent Fund – a great cause which was so dear to the heart of our very own Colin Jackson. There are 4 medals available: Barcelona 40th Anniversary (2012) - £15 SFL League Division 3 (2013) - £12 SPFL League 1 - (2014) £12 SPFL Scottish Championship (2016)- £12 That’s the cash & collect at Ibrox price. Or you can have them posted to you for an extra £3) PM me and let me know what you want. Orders: @stafford - 1 x Barca @Dunny_01 - 1 x Div 1 @Carsons Army - 1 x Barca PAID.

At a time when charter flights were virtually unheard of, and not very affordable, and most ordinary folk were struggling to make ends meet, and didn't even have a passport, it was a very impressive number. Compare with the two previous finals... 1969–70 Manchester City 2–1 Górnik Zabrze - Prater Stadium, Vienna 7,968 1970–71 Chelsea 2–1 Real Madrid - Karaiskakis Stadium, Athens 19,917 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 I think some of you may have missed this. If you want your medals in time for Christmas, you'd better get your orders in pronto! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Bump. The good gentlemen of County Armagh RSCs have advised me that they are going for one final push with the medals, and then that will be that - no more will be available - until 55 of course. So for those of you who haven't got the full set, or any at all, or who want some more for friends and family (Christmas and all that!) - well you'd better hurry up and PM me, before I put my final order in. ps - County Armagh RSCs will be presenting another Big Cheque on the pitch very shortly for the Rangers Former Players Benevolent Fund - so keep your eye out for that - that's the proceeds from these medals. (to date, I think they're in the region of £50,000 or thereabouts) This is an old article, they've raised far more than that now, but as always, they're pretty camera-shy. Hopefully we'll get a new Big Cheque picture soon. Since December 2013, RangersMedia members have bought over 400 medals, contributing about £5,000 towards their grand total. So not only can you be proud to be a part of that, but you've also got some cracking medals!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I would have said "no, don't spend any money on raffle prizes, because that money would be better going to Joshua than going to Amazon or Victoria Wine or whatever." But in this case, the money you spend will go to straight to the Rangers Former Players Benevolent Fund - so how can I argue with that? Would it be better to list them as two prizes, or you two club together to make one bigger, more attractive prize, ie one of each of the 4 different medals?

A group of the 4 medals could do well. If Bobby is in agreement i'll send you £27 for 2 medals for this and another £27 for 2 medals for myself and can pick them up Saturday.

I think it is best to be separate as it allows more money going into one cause, and also attracts more people to the raffle due to more chance of winning a prize ..... hopefully increasing Joshua's Fund also. BH = 30 pounds - 2 @ 15 SS = 54 pounds - 2 @ 15 + 2 @ 12 ..... I think/hope I have read Scotty's purchase requirements correctly .... 2medals for the raffle and 2 for himself ..... total = 84 pounds. By putting in a full set it would only be 51 pounds, depriving the players of a much needed 33 pounds. 4 separate prizes seems fairer than one if I have my sums correct ..... depending on ticket price of course. If not ..... then yes I would split the costs with Scotty no problem for the full set to be offered as a prize ..... sorry if this complicates things.

And yes, you've done your sums wrong. SS would still be buying two medals for himself (£27), no matter which arrangement we went with. Wait till B&F Forum hear about this!
