The Official *** SPONSORS: Let's Spend The Money! *** Thread

[LiverpoolBlue 1,398]

What about a hospitality ticket/s for children and their families from a hospice or sick hospital? or even a verteran or 2 from Erskine hospital?

Good idea... I'll second that one

[govanblue 16,847]

Not too bothered what else we spend the money on as long as it goes to Rangers. I assume we are agreed that we are sponsoring a player(s) for the whole of next year? Then we require at least £900 well before the season starts.

Yes, that's a given. That's why I think it's important that we 'bank' a fair chunk of the residual cash.

The idea was definitely that the money goes to Rangers, but there is also a lot of support for supporting various charitable causes too. That one is still up for debate, and is a tough one to get a handle on.

Something like loyalandtrueblue's suggestion above ticks both those boxes.

Update: We have broken the £1000 barrier. Ho hum.

Total Funds received to date (after PayPal deductions): £1008.24

Total Available to spend: £425.24

(and I'm still holding about £100 more from the Annan programmes)

[bluepeter 5,627]

My vote goes for brick, maybe a card for Sandy Jardine, then bank the rest for next season's sponsorship

I'm for adding the Annan program money to the total.

Brick, Sandy, then keep it for next year.

Yes, the Annan figure will get added to the balance, but that figure isn't complete yet, as I have to work out the final postage costs etc and deduct them. But it'll be in the range of about £120. I'm going to the post office tomorrow, so should be able to give you all the final update then.

[wullyRFC 5,230]

Brick, Sandy, and myself +1 hospitality

[Carsons Dog 9,878]

That's a legal quagmire RM would not want to get sucked into.

And what are the chances of RM ever finding one voice? Most of our posters contradict themselves in the same sentence!!!

No they don't

[govanblue 16,847]

No they don't

No they do!

[Stoorie 1,088]

No they do!

Yes, I do!

[govanblue 16,847]

Yes, I do!

Yes you don't

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

banking money for next year - while fiscally sound seems like a waste - not sure what to spend it on but with such a decent idea we will get the cash next season so lets do more with what we have! I wonder how much a card display costs to buy all that paper?

Yep, this gets my vote too, and I'll happily chip in again so that you have next season's money in good time.

Probably the best idea ever Dunny

Two things I would say is:

1. In my opinion, it is essential that the money be spent on official Rangers products or services (which your gnomes are) - because the point is to get the money into their coffers.

2. If we buy products or services which we can use to generate more revenue from our members (ie raffling/auctioning etc) then we generate more money to buy more Rangers stuff to auction to members to raise more money to buy more Rangers stuff...

And that is the most effective way of utilising any money.
