govanblue 16,847 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 I've been reminded that Josh will receive a shirt and various other goodies from Rangers, but the more the merrier I say plus we don't want his big brother feeling left out do we? So anyone who wants to contribute, just let me know and I'll give you the paypal address. Oh - more good news - there are no paypal fees deducted on this alternative paypal account, so your full contribution is received. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetheart 8,458 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 On 27/03/2017 at 7:15 AM, govanblue said: I’m delighted to announce that Wee Josh and his family will be in attendance, and hopefully making an on-pitch appearance at Ibrox on Saturday 1st April. It’s not been easy to arrange, and would not have been possible without some very specialized help. Rangers were always happy to invite Wee Josh to Ibrox, but the problem was that after a mascot appearance, Wee Josh can’t just take a regular seat in the stand like most mascots do, and so he would require some hospitality seats (8 in fact!!). But all the hospitality is sold out for the remaining games this season, so it would have to wait until next season, which was not ideal. Luckily our very good friends at Specialized Security heard about this and stepped in with some awesome solutions… First of all, they put the word round their friends in Club Europe, and managed to persuade 8 Good Bears to give up their seats for Saturday’s game. So that’s 8 hospitality seats arranged for Josh, his brother, his mum & dad, his gran & granddad, a Carer. Oh, and little old me. (His Gran and Grandad were keen to be there too, but were struggling to get two tickets for the game, so we thought we may as well add them to the party too. ) The only problem now was that it’s a pretty long drive from Stockport to Glasgow, and the day would end up being exhausting more than anything else, so we needed to sort out some accommodation. Once again, Specialized Security stepped up, and have booked 3 rooms at the Glasgow Hilton for 2 nights (Friday and Saturday). Meaning everyone can get a good night’s sleep and be Ready for the long day ahead of them, and then get a good night’s sleep after the event too. Specialized Security have even laid on some drivers from the hotel to the stadium, and back, to make life as easy as possible for the family. So fingers crossed we have a nice sunny day on Saturday, and I hope you’ll all give a big cheer for the Wee Man when he makes his brief appearance. In order to try to capitalise on the occasion, we had hoped to combine the day with a large-scale leafleting campaign, but due to a mix-up with dates (my fault!) several of our Staunch Volunteers who I would have been relying on will not be at the game, so we would not have had enough help. So we’ll maybe try to arrange that for a later game – if any of you want to volunteer to help out with an hour’s worth of handing out leaflets before the game? Oh and one last thing – I’ll be popping in to the Megastore to get Josh and Ethan a couple of souvenirs – so if anybody wants to chip in towards that, please make a donation via the RM PayPal and then tell me that you’ve done so. Here’s the PayPal link… http://www.rangersmedia.co.uk/paypal.html BUMP!!! with Boldy bits Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid2103 285 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Sounds great for the wee man, and his family, hope he thoroughly enjoys the day! And well done to those who organized it, can't imagine it was easy, but you do what you do for a reason and the wee man's smile on Saturday will justify it all. Serious congratulations for getting it altogether. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I was thinking we could also buy some Rising Stars for the family to keep them entertained at half time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm beginning to suspect that Specialized Security must have some dirt on one of the Club Directors. Either that, or Rangers are just a jolly nice Club. Either way, I've been informed that Rangers have upgraded the family's seats on Saturday to an Executive Box... This is ideal, as it gives the family a nice quiet space to relax in during what will otherwise be a pretty tiring day for them all. I also forgot to mention that Specialized Security have also covered the cost of the meals for the party of eight at the Hilton for the weekend.
