*** Rm Erskine Rec Fund – Now Accepting Donations & Members!

[govanblue 16,847]

A big thank you to Travelrug for his donation towards the hospitality tickets - and also some ordinary tickets.

Sadly, poor Travelrug can't make the game on Thursday - but that didn't stop him buying his two s/t seats anyway - and giving them to us!

So that's two Veterans from Combat Stress sorted for seats (2 very good seats in fact!). Only another dozen or so to go.

We may have reached our target, but we're still taking donations, because I've not run out of things to spend it on yet!

It looks as if we might actually raise enough money to do the whole thing - twice!

ie, send a group of 2 or 3 wheelchair users and 2 or 3 carers to the Argyle Suite for the Motherwell game, and then send them back for the first game of the new season too.

Which would be nice.

Make sure you drink the first few pretty quickly - you'll need to be at least half-cut before the "Being That Raging Ye Rip Up Yer St Renewals" thread reappears later tonight.

26 hours is not really that tardy.

Cheers mate.

Not long till D-Day now.

It certainly does mate. Cheers.

Every fiver donated puts an Erskine Veteran or a Combat Stress Veteran in an Ibrox seat on Thursday Night.

The Blue pound, organised, can do great thinks. Look no further for proof.

Cheers bump, much appreciated as always.

Based on what you've all told me so far, I reckon we are about 8 donations short of our upper target.

Our upper target is not fixed yet. I won't be able to finalise it till I speak to the club, Erskine and Combat Stress on Monday. It's currently something along the lines of...

4 Hospitality tickets v Motherwell - 2 wheelchair users and 2 carers - £428

4 Hospitality tickets v - opening game next season - 2 wheelchair users and 2 carers - £428

Erskine don't even know about this yet, so it'll be a nice surprise for Carol (and Cammy!) on Monday morning.

Plus:

12 match tickets v Motherwell for Erskine - £60

16 match tickets v Motherwell for Combat Stress - £80

So here's a chance for some of you newer RM members - don't be shy, join the RM Erskine Lunch Fund today - we need you!

A fiver buys a ticket for a Veteran for Thursday Night (and gives you membership of the exclusive RM Erskine Lunch Fund).

Definitely!

All I need is the 2 Rangers numbers and the seat details, and I can pick up paper replacements.

Any other s/t holders who can't make the game - we could use your seats.

Just donated... Great cause. Am away with work so won't be able to go to game as planned (am in the military too, so away a bit) so I thought would be nice if a fellow serviceman could have a ticket on me Keep up the good work GB

That's us now got 4 of the 16 tickets we need for Combat Stress.

I'm going to struggle to find another 12 seats online, so if anyone else has a pair of unused season tickets, I'd love to hear from you.
