Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have to agree with the poster CB and his post on another thread, when he said that RFFF was it not just set up to pull in funds to help achieve the reductions that D&P needed to make, to stave off redundancies?So what role have this well intentioned cash raisers taken up now? This is merely to clear this up in my own mind as I have not read anything telling me of a new direction as to their being. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is merely to clear this up in my own mind as I have not read anything telling me of a new direction as to their being.I think it is now seen as a means where different fans groups can get together without their own agendas being uppermost.Thats the way I see it anyway, could be wrong.Have been lots of times before Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is merely to clear this up in my own mind as I have not read anything telling me of a new direction as to their being.Let's nip this one in the bud.The RFFF is NOT a new Rangers supporters group. They had a specific task. To pull together fund-raising ideas (and funds) to save the club when our last owner royally fucked us. They, as far as I know, have no constitution, no set of rules, no members list, etc....it's just Bears who didn't want the club to die and felt that they could do something about that.If the inference by some is that their role has changed and that they intend to become a new supporters group, then fine...let's ask them if that is the case and deal with it at that time, but as far as I'm aware that isn't the case.It seems logical to me that they should be having discussions with Charles Green as I'm sure they don't want to be fooled into parting with the Rangers supporters cash they have charge of.I trust them without reservation in these matters - if others don't, I can't do much about that.

boss 1,941 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 We shouldn't be harsh on the RFFF whatever their role is (or not) developing into. They are one supporters' group that has done well in recent months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef 436 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 My guess is the rst will end up having beef about this, no one likes to be seen as incompetent in thr role, and to me the rfff doesn't seem to have any baggage Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast 9,211 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 In full agreement. The purpose of RFFF now that the whole CVA/Admin process is over needs to be made clearAnd the key members/representatives/office bearers.There was talk about a certain person had wormed their way into the RFFF hierarchy. If that's the case then they will have the same credibility issue as RST Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is merely to clear this up in my own mind as I have not read anything telling me of a new direction as to their being.But with cash and a decent committee (that we seem to trust) - the RFFF could be a decent avanue for a 'fans' voice - the RST certainly don't measure up to a voice I trust but the people at RFFF have done pretty good to date.BUT again someone of RFFF needs to take a leadership role and say - we will now develop into this (or not) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
