BEARGER 339 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 If people disagree with the rst them they would be better putting up reasons why not to join and let people make an informed decision.No reasons are ever given re RST other than personal vendettas by people who themselves have done hehaw.

rangersxfc 265 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 No reasons are ever given re RST other than personal vendettas by people who themselves have done hehaw.you're spot on but the RST fanboys on here do the same on vanguard bears topics works both ways none of it is helpin the club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertent 2,081 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 No reasons are ever given re RST other than personal vendettas by people who themselves have done hehaw.Apart from those who bring up genuine issues about how the organisation is run in their name.Such as passing off the office holder/s views as trust policy without reference to the membership. Kind of a major one, no?Kiss their hoop if you want just dont throw teddys when others dont pucker up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle 3,734 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 If people disagree with the rst them they would be better putting up reasons why not to join and let people make an informed decision.I have always said it is a personal decision, way back from the origin of the RST when I used to argue about it on FF.My view is that if I was I investing my money in shares in Rangers, I would want to own the shares at the end of it, and I would want my own vote at the AGM.I am personally not convinced in the benefits of fan ownership anyway, and particularly with us given that we don't agree on much of anything as a fanbase.But, as I said, each to their own.

Carsons Army 4,146 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I think the trust is a great idea, Especially the Interest free loans using fellow bears money.Is this option available to everyone or is it restricted to confirmed bachelors Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Even being kind to the RST and assuming their claimed 1,500 members renew at 10 quid per head where does the 15 grand go? What is it spent on? What do members get for their cash --- I found the site ambiguous in that regard.Monthly newsletters on trust and club news -- Club news available all over the net mostly for free -- nothing there then.An official Rangers Supporters Trust share -- Nothing there thenAn RST membership card --- wee plastic card worth 50p nothing there thenExclusive content and articles --- bit vague nothing there thenFor the first time ever 'Fan Voting' --- will voting be transparent audited and made public - nothing there thenManage your account online -- what is there to manage. You pay a tenner and it vanishes - nothing there thenInvest in BuyRangers -- An opportunity to buy a share in the club through the a 'wee club' run by the RST --- why not just buy them yourself?? - nothing there thenOh well that'll be a 'mibees aye' or 'mibees naw' from this supporter.

Or did you miss that bit due to arse cheeks covering your eyes?I assume you have never been involved in any organisation where you elect a board. The examples you give are not a board going against the the policy of the Trust. Committees/Boards run organisations between agm's or other special meetings at which policy is decided. The decision to support the Blue Knights was a legitimate stance to take at the time. Not only was the RST board supporting them but a lot of fans also including those on here. Wether it was a correct decision is another matter, but those who never made a decision never did anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have assumed an organisation whos stated aim was to achieve fan ownership would at least have taken the time to explain why they were against a buyer who was offering fan ownership, or why they supported a group who were vocally against fan ownership when in positions of power previously.Pucker up.
