simplythebest 11,453 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 So how about those that said the survey has just been ignored etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I got an email from the club with the results which makes me feel, well, engaged.The results aren't much of a surprise and I'm interested in hearing more about this membership scheme.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Makes a nice change from the sit down shut up days, well done Rangers but don't sit back now keep it moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian 4,281 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Can't see any way this can be spun kr interpreted as a negative.its what everybody asked for.A proper fans group would be very welcome and we can dispose of all the current mickey mouse ones. (Bar VB as they are not a fans group)Proper fan engagement begins. Another box ticked off for those saying "i will trust the board when........"

KingKaiJohansen 118 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hopefully this turns into action, will be nice having a club who actually care about the fans opinions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvern 11,329 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Positive responses in fairness, lets hope this is something that is properly supported by the board and fans. I believe if there was an official group there would be an uptake on such a thing and exclude all the "fans spokespeople" from their diatribe.

Allanger 625 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Anyone looking for a laugh try FF on this subject. "The board have fiddled the results" etc....They are crazy over there. I was banned about six months ago but can guess they are not too happy about this announcement Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Ranger 3,187 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Those who continually speak for the 'majority' are nothing more than a small fraction of the support.what about the thousands of fans who held up the blue cards , were they only a small fraction of the support ?

The Dude 20,026 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 what about the thousands of fans who held up the blue cards , were they only a small fraction of the support ?No, far from it. But then this isn't about whether there is widespread agreement with any group on one or more issue. It's about how many of the support identify as being paid up, card carrying members of any group and as such represented by them when they make statements.

stfu 596 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 what about the thousands of fans who held up the blue cards , were they only a small fraction of the support ?Only a small fraction knew what they were holding up. That was part of the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Ranger 3,187 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Only a small fraction knew what they were holding up. That was part of the problem.how do you know this ? Do you think that thousands of Rangers fans are incapable of reading ? It had been reported in all media streams in the run up to the game about the blue cards and the reasons for holding them up . Next time try and come up with a less desperate excuse . Don't tell me there was a couple of guys next to you and someone else told them to hold them up and they never looked at the message written on them LOL .

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Nice to get an email detailing the results of the poll.Hopefully they will agree to a new modern scouting network. I for one dont think scouts should be salaried. Should be commission only plus expenses. Be good to see what they can do to either help mccoist improve the team performance or get someone else in.Bit of positivity I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 This gives the club a mandate to go ahead and introduce a transparent democratic fans organisation and marginalise the self serving egotistsAnd they know it and that's why they are beelin Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Ranger 3,187 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Sounds like at least half of them want a fans membership organisationthat could well be true .

j1mgg 3,766 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 if the fans use their democratic right and vote in the likes of Chris Graham ,Mark Dingwall and the guy from SOS I take it you will get fully behind the democratic fans organisation .That is what the fans have chosen and we would have to respect that, unlike the men themselves who have not accplepted a board that was chosen in the same way.

Ozblue 4,331 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Those who continually speak for the 'majority' are nothing more than a small fraction of the support.Aye! but they are the majority of the minority and by their calculations they are 0.00059% more in the majority than the minority of the majority.It's wonderful how all these fan groups spokepersons who speak for the 'majority' of our fans do calculations Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac_88 310 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I personally am pleased by most of the reading in the results, hopefully the board will act on some of the things within fans questionnaires as they move forward.Hopefully the club can act on a Membership Scheme quickly.... no doubt certain people will attempt to de-rail this imitative...
