govanblue 16,847 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Many thanks to Robert and Kenny from the Erskine Transport Team who selflessly booked some holiday time and drove all the way to Cardiff and back to collect the remainder of our Official Club merchandise from a shed for us. (Many thanks also to [ ] from Cardiff who has patiently lived without a shed for the last year!!) As @Bluepeter9 will tell you, that’s a hell of a drive. Luckily the Erskine guys had it much easier than Bluepeter9 – I wasn’t with them! As thanks for their grand effort, Robert and Kenny, upon their return, were delighted to receive an unexpected bonus in the form of the 2 Bar72 tickets from @KeyserSoze. Despite the poor performance, they were still delighted to get the chance to sit in Bar72, and they pass on their thanks to Keyser and everyone in the RM Erskine Fund.

Popular Post govanblue 16,847 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2016 So while the rest of you were swanning off to the match or enjoying the fun at the Erskine Gala Day, spare a thought for poor old govanblue who was stuck in an Erskine storeroom sorting though several hundred items of merchandise for several hours. You might say I deserve a medal for that, and you’d be right. I was delighted, and very honoured to discover that I had been nominated as one of Erskine’s 100 Heroes for 100 Years. So halfway through sorting the kit out, I had to stick a tie on and rush over to Erskine Park Home to receive a medal along with some other Erskine Heroes (all far better dressed than me!!) Every RM Fund Member, past and present has earned a piece of that medal, but I’m not melting it down, so you’ll just have to make do with a scan… SuperTav, Young Bob, KazzyTI and 12 others 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 I also dropped off the 6 Rangers Umbrellas for Erskine... and 20 Rangers FC Rings which were lying around in Mrs Eagle's Rangers Charity Shop... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 And just as I think I'm about done, I see we've drawn Peterhead at home. So I'll need to get on the case to get the smartcards activated, and hopefully get some wheelchair hospitality for Dinger. And I'll need to sort out our Lotto Subscription. And Our Rising Stars for the Season. And the brick wording for our 6 Colin Stein Bricks. And the Rangers TV Subscriptions for the Homes. And the Match Programme Subscriptions for the Homes (still not available!) Other than that, I can take it easy for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donation sent. I forgot to mention that the Veterans finally got their fish suppers. A somewhat chilly July day in Saltcoats... But that was easily fixed...

govanblue 16,847 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Many thanks to RangersRadio for their Mightily Impressive £200 Donation. It's great to have that level of support from the Best Rangers Fans' Phone-in Show on Earth. They didn't ask for a shout out, but they're getting one anyway... Make a date with @FoxintheBox Bridgeman, Oxger and the Crew - and maybe even govanblue! - for an evening of precise and pernickity post-match ponderings, and probably some pish patter perchance! - This Monday at 9pm. http://rangersradio.online/usercp.php PeterM, cstamomusa and Dave29 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 So with those 3 unexpected donations from @EKCO @Bears r us and RangersRadio that was a welcome boost to the coffers. So much so that I've bought another 12 tickets for Tuesday's game. Cost: £113 So that's a total of 22 tickets for Erskine and 6 tickets for Combat Stress for Tuesday.

govanblue 16,847 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Many thanks to @Eck the bear for his latest donation. He was hoping to pay for one of our Erskine Match Programme Annual Subscriptions, as he does every year, but it looks like the Club may not be offering the annual subscription this season. So Eck has just donated another £60 to The Fund. If programme subscriptions do become available, we'll use that money to buy one for Erskine. If not, we'll spend it on match tickets, stadium tours, and anything else we can find worth buying. Bears r us 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
