govanblue 16,847 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 you have raised the bar far higher than that, 2-3 hours seems sufficient! It is. But you didn't even give me that, cos I have to leave at 11 on matchdays, and have no internet till I get home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done similar in the past.Many of the Fund Members already have season tickets, but I'm sure they could always find a couple of friends or family who don't usually get to games. I'm also hopeful that RDF will maybe give us a couple of Bar72 tickets again this season. May I also point out that the Fund does actually already have some seats available for most games. So if any RM members have fallen on hard times (or know some other Bears who have), and can't afford such luxuries right now, just give me a shout and we can probably get you a couple of tickets.

If someone has a season ticket or a ticket to the match already then the draw could be made for another member to get the ticket instead or given to someone they know as you say Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how I see it.Our charter dictates that every penny must be spent on Rangers (Remember we're only talking about the Sponsors' Fund here, not the Erskine Fund), so even if we didn't spend the money on tickets, the money would still be going to Rangers some other way.There is nothing to dictate what we should do with any products/services we buy from Rangers. Sometimes we raffle them, sometimes we auction them, sometimes we give them to charity, and sometimes we give them away to members. Since we have already made most of our major purchases for the season, I expect to spend quite a lot of the remaining money on tickets, because it is definitely one of the most effective ways of getting money into the club.So I would propose that:1. any tickets donated to us by the club should be given to members - because this is the club thanking us, and it would be rude to not accept2. any tickets we buy should be given to our supported causes3. any Fund member who wants a match ticket or two (either for yourself or for friends/family), PM me. I can get you one, and it won't cost the Fund a penny. How does that sound? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Also,We are constantly looking for ways to give something back to the members.1. Fancy a £5 gift voucher for 1872Clothing.co.uk? Just ask. I've got several sitting here. 2. Right now, we're also giving away that Treble Winners Print to one lucky member.3. We've just finished the "£20 off an Ibrox Brick" offer - 12 members benefited from that4. We have many more fantastic things to give away, but I'm drip-feeding them to you 5. Several members have won something or other this season - Free bricks, Signed Shirts, Free Match Tickets, A few other things I forget.6. If Ally can get his finger oot and win us the Championship, Medal-collecting Fund Members will be doubly-happy, and non-Fund members will be kicking themselves. And I haven't even mentioned the fantastic deals for Members via Mrs Eagle's Rangers Charity Shop - The shop will be opening up again after Christmas, and it has some cracking bargains.
