Jocky Broon 207 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just read this:I understand that the “Save Rangers” has been forcibly stopped by Rangers Football Club.I stated in this blog that it was nothing other than a piece of grandstanding by the RST, and their driving force Mark Dingwall.As the website gathered meaningless “pledges” of “over £10M”, all the data was harvested by the Trust including names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers.It even appeared to have the support of the Rangers Supporters Assembly and Rangers Supporters Association, despite both bodies working on a tangible donations site, to actually save the club.As recently as yesterday morning, The Trust were boasting of support from Sir Alex Ferguson.He was clearly misled, as were the other “supporters”.I wonder if he (Ferguson) now knows that the “Save Rangers” scam is no more, and that a real scheme to assist Rangers in it’s time of need is imminent. The Rangers Fighting Fund will be officially announced this week.How long until the email addresses gathered on “Save Rangers” are sent “Follow Follow” advertising? Or sold?

Or sold?I am sure Rangers would rather put their support behind the RFFF anyway, I must admit, I was tempted to 'pledge', but there are two things about it, 1) I didn't necessarily agree with the aims; and 2) I didn't want to give my phone number against any amount of money, for fear of being hounded later.

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have pledged, but if there's anything dodgy about it or Walter and Ally lead me to believe that the Rangers Fighting Fund is the chosen vehicle, then I reserve the right to jump ship.

Ricky_ 893 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 why not just combine them, and everyone who has "pledged" can now officially "donate" to RFFF?Or did the pledgers want soemthing in return, such as a shareholding?The australian fella who pledged 1m for example... was it for show? or was it perhaps a spur of the moment gesture he wont follow through with? or was it with the intention of investing?

bufforbero 128 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 As I stated on another thread; I will no longer be attending away matches. Money that had been intended for those games, I will now pay to the RFFF. I understand and respect that this isn't the preference for many fans, but that will be one of the ways I intend to help the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the website is now closed, maybe it's because money is actually changing hands elsewhere now...I understood that site was just to guage the level of support for raising money anyway.It doesn't matter much, but it just looks like another pop at Dingwall.
