BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 My first time at NARSA Convention and it was absolutely superb.It was like one big happy Rangers family with every one getting on so well{unlike on here).There were so many highlights but for me, marching over the Golden Gate Bridge behind GPB was pretty awesome.I was on the open top bus that took the band to the bridge and they performed a few well known songs on the top of the busand the locals stared on in amazement, they had never quite seen anything like it.The Convention night was also memorable and Craig Mathers gave an impressive speech as did Ally.I must give a special mention to Ally as he stood for over three hours getting photos taken with the fans and he was so sincere in his praise of the Rangers supporters.I really hope he can turn it round this season. It was a great opportunity to make new friends and catch up with old ones. I met so many guys from KP and Plantation and in particular caught up with my oldest pal Davy Currie.Davy was in fine form and it was great to see a true friend again.I roomed with my cousin Christines husband Alan Armour and we had a brilliant time and even had the opportunity to take in a gig at the Great American Music Hall to see Chuck Prophet who was superb. I met some great guys from the Fraserburgh Loyal but everyone you met was so friendly and it made you at times feel quite emotional about the love for our club.I would urge any Rangers fan who is thinking about going to a NARSA event to go for it .You wont be disappointed.WATPWhere ur ye ?

forlanssister 157 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 What was the question FS ? Did he take the huff ?Wouldn't say he took the huff as such but he was certainly taken aback.The question was:"Given that even a cursory glance of Charles business career would have revealed a history littered with the destruction of hundreds of millions of pounds of shareholder value, what did Charles Green promise you in order to get you to invest and what was the price in pence per share of that investment?"He replied he had the chance to invest in Leeds or Rangers.Chose Rangers after spending a couple of hours at Ibrox and seeing the Trophy Room and Blue Room.That Charles Green promised him nothing.Ignored the latter part totally.
