Donation sent to @govanblue

Done.

I used RM Wrongshapedballs. I'm sure I saw another RM name on there last night that has disappeared as well, but I can't remember who it was.

There is something weird going on with the GoFundMe page. I made a donation last night (after Thomas Smith and before Irene Barber), at the time there were 811 donations. It took ages to appear, but it was there last night. This morning it has disappeared, there are two new donations but the number is still 811. I have checked my Paypal account and the payment has definitely gone to Mark, which is what matters, of course. It's a daunting total to be trying to raise.

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/418696/CSMC-_April_2015.pdf 4.2.4 Civil servants must not take part in any activities or make any public statement which might involve the disclosure of official information or draw upon experience gained in their official capacity without the prior approval of their department or agency. They must clear in advance material for publication, broadcasts or other public discussion which draws on official information or experience. All contacts with the media should be authorised in advance by the relevant Minister unless a specific delegation or dispensation has been agreed which may be for blocks of posts or areas of activities. The Civil Service Code (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-code/the-civil-service-code) applies to all such contacts. Civil Servants must at all times observe discretion and express comment with moderation, avoiding personal attacks.

This covers HMRC: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/social-media-guidance-for-civil-servants/social-media-guidance-for-civil-servants#propriety-and-ethics "The simple rule to remember is that the principles covering the use of social and other digital media by civil servants in both a work and personal capacity are the same as those that apply for any other activity. Social media is a public forum and the same considerations would apply as, say, to speaking in public or writing for a publication either officially or out of work. In social media the boundaries between professional and personal are often more blurred – so it’s important to be particularly careful." "We should avoid commenting altogether on politically controversial issues and avoid making any kind of personal attack or tasteless or offensive remarks to individuals or groups."

It's worth pointing out that CalRecycle have something of a vested interest in this and that they are also funding the current study which aims to fill in the "data gaps" in the one referenced above. http://espn.go.com/espnw/news-commentary/article/14206717/how-safe-fields-where-play

People keep saying this but it's not true. The SPFL is the SPL, same company registration number and so on. it's the SFL that is gone, taken over by the SPL who were then re-named.

Done

Sorry for your loss, Gogzy. RIP

It's not a lot because things are a bit tight, but donation made.

He's a member of the RFC Ltd board, and I would imagine that they are Ally's employers.

I don't think BDO will be interested in that as it is not an oldco issue. As I understand it, the prize money was part of the assets transferred to the newco, and was given up as part of the 5 way stitch up agreement.

No it isn't. The SPFL is the same legal entity as the SPL. It took over the SFL and changed its name.

The CC facility was only withdrawn for ST purchases. There is no real risk for the provider with one-off games.

"Alexander Easdale will make available to the Company up to £500,000 on a fee and interest free basis (the "Easdale Facility")."

No!! It is secured against them, just like your mortgage is secured against your house.

Full Stock Exchange announcement: http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=11872699 Rangers International Football Club plc ("Rangers", "RIFC" or the "Company") Credit Facility of £1.5 million The Board of Rangers is pleased to announce that it has entered into two secured short term credit facilities for an aggregate of up to £1.5m. The credit facilities are being provided by Alexander Easdale, a shareholder in the Company and director of The Rangers Football Club Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of RIFC, and Laxey Partners Ltd ("Laxey"), a substantial shareholder in the Company. These credit facilities will be used by the Company for general working capital purposes over the next few months. Alexander Easdale will make available to the Company up to £500,000 on a fee and interest free basis (the "Easdale Facility"). Laxey will make available to the Company up to £1 million, with a premium payment equal to 15% of the nominal amount of the facility (the "Laxey Facility"). The Easdale Facility and the Laxey Facility (together the "Facilities") are both secured against the Company's Edmiston House and Albion car park properties. The principal amounts of the Facilities are repayable no later than 1 September 2014 from a variety of potential sources. The premium on the Laxey Facility is payable in cash or, at Laxey's discretion, in ordinary shares of 1p each, at any point between the date of the facility agreement and the first anniversary of the date of the facility agreement. The number of ordinary shares of 1p each which may be issued will be calculated using the lower of either 26.5 pence, being the mid-market closing price of the Company's shares on 21 February 2014, or the lowest price at which any equity fundraising is carried out prior to the first anniversary of the date of the Laxey Facility agreement. The issue of any ordinary shares of 1p each in payment of the premium is subject to the Company obtaining authority from its shareholders at a general meeting of the Company. Under the AIM Rules for Companies, the Laxey Facility is a related party transaction under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. The Directors of Rangers, having taken advice from their nominated adviser, Daniel Stewart & Company plc, believe that the terms of the Laxey Facility are fair and reasonable as far as shareholders are concerned.

Somebody filed paper terminations of directorships for Whyte and Earley, back-dated to May 2012, and a change of registered office back to 35 Vine St. The signatures appears to be Green's, but the forms were filed by Caroline Nicholls of Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP. Then somebody else electronically filed a change of address back to Whyte's place and re-appointed Law Financial and Earley (despite the fact that he is banned.) Being electronic filings there is no signature on these.

The other director of said company being Aiden Earley, who is currently 6 months into a 5 year disqualification from acting as a company director, but who still appears to signing documents filed at Companies House....

They only need to be listed if the individual shareholder has more than 3%. Thus, Sandy's own shareholding, which is listed, is included in the 16.24%, but the ones he has proxy over are not, because they are not 'related parties', even though, in the cases of BPH & Margarita, they have ove 3%. The rules are here if you want to read them http://www.londonstockexchange.com/companies-and-advisors/aim/advisers/rules/aim-rules-for-companies.pdf

The 16.24% of shares "not in public hands" are those held by Directors (including Directors that have resigned in the last 12 months) and other "related parties" as defined in AIM rules. They are not un-issued shares.

You mean the option he had to buy more shares at 70p each when the market price is 27p? Yeah, I'm sure he did that

It has been reported that he paid 70p for his shares in the IPO. IF that is true, and IF they were his shares that were sold today, the loss made will have wiped out pretty much every penny he was paid by the club.
