iang2911 423 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have just sent this out to some on twitter."I'm trying to organise a meeting with as many supporters groups as I can to discuss creating a unified body for all fans. Would you attend?"I have been reading for a while now about the desire for fan ownership, fan charters, song books etc. and don't see anything really happening. I tried to do this before but with what has happened over the last 18 months I believe it is time for all fan groups to come together collectively, while retaining their individual organisation, and work as a unified representative forum for all Rangers fans. Something that would allow every fan to still join up with like minded fans, for whatever purpose, or not but knowing that these groups and individuals are working at some point together for the good of Rangers.This would make the prospect of fan ownership and solving these other issues a real possibility.If someone from RangerMedia wants to be involved, or if you think it is a shit idea, please contact me, also could you spread the word?Thanks IanWATP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iang2911 423 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 The reason I asked on here is because there are a lot of individual fans not associated with any Fans group who would like an opportunity. The popular message boards can help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I wont bother wasting my time..I am serious with the good luck bit mate.Too many little men infighting to gain some sort of credit, for which they would sell their grannies for.When all they really do is piss off other fans with their egotistical views and achieve very little.Trying to unite them would make it worse IMO.There needs to be a clear out and a start again before unity can even be on the table, but that's just my opinion.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 RST are having an open mind on it so we will see how it goes. Thanks for the support though.Your welcome its something I would genuinely like to see I'm: just cynical as to if it ever will happen as the differences and splits are as big or bigger now than ever.

I think it is really important that boards like Rangers Media are involved as well though.I am truthfully surprised with this bud as they strive to get people to fall in line with them and in the past have shown a total disregard as to forming a new united front under a new name.
