I am sure a few phone calls asking if they intend to support such an organisation and why. Any feedback please list here. Obviously there are some that will be hard to get feedback from but the local sponsors in my view should give a responce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 William Hill were just offered the 3 year deal to be the bookies in Hampden - they're going for the Ibrox contract next - lets tell them exactly how we will react. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrogateBlue 7 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have sent 3 emails to the above. But it would be so much better if others put in what they feel rather than a template at this time.it readsCan you please tell me if the company (insert company) have been keeping up to date with the sanctions the SFA have imposed on Glasgow Rangers.I would love to hear feedback as the Rangers Community are not prepared to sit back and let this organisation try to punish the club any further when it needs all the support it can get at this time.What is your companys view on this as sponsors? A non comment will be seen as not caring in the eyes of our support.(name of sender) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beattie72 170 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Good morning. Please note that as you are a direct sponsor of the SFA I will no longer be purchasing any further items from McDonalds due to the SFA's draconian treatment of Rangers Football Club and will cease to do so until the sponsorship ends. Thanks. John.Just a rough one. Edit to suit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarrogateBlue 7 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Coistylegend, that is one that would be great to send to the big global boys like mcdonalds. A template for this type of sponsor is ideal. I myself will now use it.I have sent to Emma Brown - pressoffice@uk.mcd.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 85 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ive just sent this to Graham Sharpe, William Hill. Edit to suit.Graham,It is unfortunate that your organisation should have to bear the brunt of a boycott of any kind through no fault of your own. However we, as supporters of Glasgow Rangers, are left with no choice but to take action into our own hands in defending our Club, which in this case is a boycott of all sponsors of the SFA (Scottish Football Association), including William Hill.I would therefore request that you cancel my account forthwith. You will soon be aware that this is to be a boycott in substantial numbers.Rangers Football Club is in a very precarious place at the moment, in that we are in administration, with liquidation looming large on the horizon if we don't get a prefferred bidder in the next few days. Duff & Phelps, the Club administrators, were working flat out to achieve that this week. Part of this is obviously trying to 'sell' the Club to potential buyers. On the eve of that decision the SFA decided to sanction Rangers Football Club with a fine of £160,000 and a YEAR LONG BAN ON SIGNING ANY PLAYERS. Needless to say the 'preferred bidder' process is now in turmoil.The administrators have described the SFA's actions and timing as "incomprehensible and draconian". They are trying to kill our Club off for WHATEVER reason when we are down and seemingly indefensible. We believe that as long as we have the best fans in the world in the vast numbers we have, we will always be the last and inpenetrable line of defence. I hope you can understand why we are taking this action.RegardsLoyal member of the Rangers family Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrogateBlue 7 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 jeez whizhad a reply from wiseman! What does this bloody mean?I have been passed your email. We helped to fund a programme called Street Football which aims to encourage children to take up the sport which in turn helps their fitness and well-being. Many thousands of children have benefitted, including children who support Rangers. This programme, and our sponsorship has now finished.
