Craig Houston will not give up anything, will not be shamed into standing down and although I would say does not have the intelligence to have planned this long term, he has the rat cunning to take advantage of an opportunity. Sadly he will only be gone when this board is. No flies on you Wullie ..... on both the bold sentences mate ..... there will always be one who is prepared to give his pet rat the benefit of the doubt .... completely ignoring the fact that there is never ever just one rat .... as the others stay well hidden, but are still there nevertheless ..... and only kidding himself on that he has/will criticise when he thinks it is prudent to make out he is being balanced ... when the opposite of his argument is more and more evident ..... the more he writes .... dougie76 and Wullies_bowly_legs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 This episode confirms how difficult it is to have a working fan's group. When you have a fan base totalling hundreds and hundreds of thousands then it is inevitably a broad church made up of multiple demographic. There are young/old, traditionilists/ hand-wringers, wannabees/sceptics, Houstonites/others lol etc etc We all love our club but we all fall into multiple sub groups of opinion, ambition and ideaologies. Just have a swatch at the boardroom forum (although imho there's dodgy contributors in there ). In that backdrop how can a dozen or so fan's represent or even come together (and stay together) harmoniously? It's a nice idea in principle but these outcomes are inevitable, both now and in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Hume 12,679 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 14 minutes ago, Ace said: It should be noted from what I've read that D'Art, Laura & Joanne have resigned due to the actions of 1 fellow director and not due to the actual organisation or aims itself. Many here know I am a fervent advocate of c1872 & it's goals but last night's peturbing news has given me cause for concern it the effectiveness of a group that stood on transparency & cannot itself be transparent on this issue. I attended the hustings during the board election, I listened to all who stood, I listened to CH who actually agreed with many the Blair shouldn't be on the board because of a COI, I find it incredible that he now thinks the current situation, created entirely by himself, is not cause for him to remove himself from the board, even temporarily until the SLO position has been finalised. I never voted for CH, I never fully trusted his motivations but put aside my feelings and gave all those elected my full backing, now I have already stated on other social media, if CH doesn't come forward & remove himself from the board of c1872 within the next 7days, I will, with much regret, cancel my direct debit to c1872 & withdraw from the group. The loss of D'Art, Laura & Joanne lessens c1872, I know that both Laura & Joanne are the ones who carried out most of the day to day duties & will be sorely missed by the group and the bigger question now becomes who will step into the breech. Wow! ACE mate ..... I know how much faith you had in Club 1872 and it's good intentions .... and take my hat off to you for coming out and laying on the line your disappointment of something you had trusted could be the way forward in fan involvement at the Club. Good on you mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something that many of us were quite sure was going to happen, nothing that he is associated with will ever be exclusively for the good of Rangers he is a self serving ego-driven opportunist with no redeeming characteristics and has no place in any supporters group. I think it is possible to have a decent supporters group, there are many who would do a good job it just needs to be done without interference from the club and the usual suspects. The problem with Club 1872 is that so many were taken in by CHs self promotion. One can only hope that this episode will show him and his acolytes up for the poisonous chancers that they are. If he goes (and doesn't get the SLO gig) I would hope that D'Art Laura and Joanne would consider standing again and someone, such as yourself, would throw your hat into the ring. That would be a decent platform to make Club 1872 a Supporters Organisation that puts Rangers and particularly its Supporters first.
