govanblue 16,847 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Sponsor's fund pay for tickets for Lee Rigby's family to come to Ibrox for a game?I would suggest that if we were going to do something like this...1. The Remembrance match would be the most appropriate time from our point of view, but this might not be suitable for the Rigby family.2. We would need the full involvement of Rangers - we would need them to provide the very best of VVIP treatment that they can offer.3. In line with the fund charter, only the match tickets, and other Rangers products could be paid for from the fund, but not the travel costs / meal costs. I would be confident though that this amount would be easily raised via a separate fund, just as we did with the Erskine Lunches Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexiboy 157 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'd happily donate more cash to the fund to get lees family up to a game and I'm sure most on here would also dig deep to get this done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
