Never been interested in trawling back posts so I have obviously missed the fact that you organised some sort of donations box for the club but good on you if you did. You would be amazed at the time and effort it took from a lot of people to get the whole R&B thing going and how many people gave their time with absolutely no thought or wish to "profiteering" as you put it. Maybe one day you will get the chance to hear the full story about these loyal fans who did what they did for the love of Rangers and wanted neither cash nor thanks for it - but I tell you what they don't deserve your snide remarks just because you hold some sort of grudge against a guy who put his name against backing it - and that's the bottom line.

Heard about this post so I thought I better come on RM just to fill you in on a couple of points that are obviously disturbing you. I received a call asking if there were any Red & Black scarves still available as a couple of people had asked the question on FF - I may add that this call did not come from MD I pointed the person in the direction of the Ticket Office and explained that any money raised was going directly to the Rangers Charity Foundation as we had donated in excess of 1000 scarves to them. I believe that the Charity Foundation has already made a four figure sum from sales of these scarves but still have 700-800 left. The money they have raised is going towards a family unit in a hospice. Previous money raised from donations to RedBlackRangers.com went to buy tickets for schools, youth groups etc When the season finished all cash raised went to the RFFF. I am well aware that Rangers Scarf colours are generally Red White & Blue theses days and have spoken to many people who never liked the Red & Black colours on the scarves. Every person that I have spoken in person, that expressed these sentiments, also made a donation as they understood the reasons behind the colours of the scarf. I have seen comments on websites slagging the campaign but have always put those comments down to coming from people who really shouldn't be on a Rangers Supporters Website. I am not sure of your reasons for starting this thread but let me assure you that the reasons we started the Red & Black Scarf campaign was to help the Rangers Football Club - doubt anyone could argue that we didn't achieve that.

Over 3000 sold online in less than 48 hours plus the bulk orders for supporters clubs so we have had fantastic support so far. There appears to be an issue on RM regarding RST but neither myself or Stu are anything to do with RST we just asked for advice and assistance regarding the redblackrangers.com website and I have to say they have been outstanding. I can't understand the problem with the Red and Black colours and people saying they have nothing to do with Rangers when they are part of our tradition - baffling Anyway , thanks to the guys on RM who have supported this project and I hope the ones who don't get off their behinds and do something positive in raising the cash required to keep Rangers alive - I'll back you ;-)

Hi Guy Been receiving some texts about negativity on RM regarding the Red and Black scarves so I thought I would register for RM and give you an insight into how this started and what is currently happening. Lots of people were talking about raising money and how they could help Rangers in our current plight various ideas were being banded about but nobody seemed to be doing anything. I was looking into the idea of copying the Man U Glazer scarf, i know it is copying them but hey we needed an idea and it seemed to me to be something we could adopt. I went on FF and saw that Stu had started a poll to see what people thought. I replied to him and we started discussing the possibility of this taking off, Stu was getting good backing and instead if just talking about it like I had done he actually got off his behind and started the ball rolling. Stu contacted the RST as we realised that we would need some sort of official backing as we new what people would be like if we just started something like this people would think it was some sort of scam, I know I would. Also the RST had the technical knowledge to get this up and running quickly. That's the background and below are some of the facts you want to know. The scarves are costing £2.15+VAT but we hope to reduce that as we increase our orders All profits will go to buying tickets, we will take nothing off the £10 other than what paypal charge Red and Black ? had to be different from Red,White and Blue but with a link to Rangers - SOCKS Me and Stu are just ordinary supporters trying to help the club we love and are not in this for anything else. I am going out to watch my son playing football now but Stu is trying to get on and will answer any other question or I will get back to you later It's All about the Rangers lads.
