They will be clearly identified as Members of the Rangers Fans Board and will be contactable by the wider fanbase via email to allow them to obtain feedback and questions from the group they represent. They will also provide those fans with updates after all meetings. The Official Fans Board will meet a minimum of 4 times each season and further meetings will be held between Club executives and the Fans Board throughout 2014/15.The Official Fans Board has been created to benefit all Rangers supporters and will provide a platform for fans to communicate directly with key Club staff in a structured mannerIt will also give the Club greater insight into the topics and issues that most affect and concern the wider Rangers fanbase and allow supporters to better understand the Clubs decision-making process on key issues.Supporters have the chance to play a crucial role in helping the Club achieve success on and off the pitch and the creation of this democratically-elected Official Fans Board is an important step in the Clubs Ready to Listen fan engagement strategy.Rangers Chief Executive Graham Wallace commented: I would like to thank all the Club Members who took the time to participate in this process and the independent Nominations Committee for selecting candidates for election to the Official Rangers Fans Board.Supporters have a vital role to play in helping Rangers achieve success on and off the pitch and the introduction of the Official Fans Board will provide the platform for more structured dialogue as well as providing the Club with a better understanding of the issues and concerns of the fanbase.The Nominations Committee evaluated a number of high-calibre applications from Club Members and it is supporters themselves who have voted for the 12 candidates they best feel will represent their interests.This process underlines our commitment to improving communications and engagement with our supporters and is another tangible step forwards in our bid to strengthen and improving communications with our global fanbase.Full details on the Official Fans Board can be found here.

govanblue 16,847 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Good to see that Gillans aren't over-represented - one for Govan, and one for the rest-of-the-world seems about right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Asked them to create a Nazism category and offered to lead it but apparently they don't feel it is appropriate at this point.I will continue to push for it and will keep everyone updated, the Nazis in our support deserve to be represented too.

Can't believe billy the grass got elected, will be nothing but a disruptive influence looking for the crimes that never existed and telling his rhebel record pals all about it.

IainB 599 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Glad my pal Gary Gillan got elected, and believe me Gary will not suffer fools gladly any leaks from any member of this group and they should be removed post haste. Just really happy the Lackey's of Lawwell seem to have been shut out. Expecting a release from them around 10 pm tomorrow blasting the fans board.

SoldierBlue1 499 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Paterson wants the fans board to be located between the polis and the Mhedia. He also wants a bat phone direct to the SFA and Liewell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
