We are shareholders who have perhaps become more disenfranchised of late so maybe it's time to be more direct. We do have some in our fold who could approach it differently. I have a name who I think could represent us. Pedro is not my first choice and my anger is not at him at this time, he is still the manager. I would like to see our Rangers board, major shareholders and our 1872 board rip some folk a new fucking arsehole and speak up to the press and footballing authorities about the constant one-way hounding of everything Rangers. You don't have to be a blazer to do this. Who are you proposing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because having been relatively close to him through that whole shambles that is certainly not a word I would use to describe what happened. Okay, let me reword it - he was left with no option but to resign his position due to the actions of others. He was hung out to dry due to sticking by his principles. That better?

You will not get anyone with morals to join and remain due to the sheer corruption involved by all at the top and those that helped to build this. anyone you do get to stand will either become another lapdog to the corruption, be corrupted themselves or will walk away.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I can't attend so I am thinking of the right question to ask by email. Why do we continue with 'bridge building' ? Will be airbrushed aside. Why are we not attacking bias in the media ? Ditto Why are club not doing more to support the fans ? Ditto Why do the scum continue to get so many tickets. Stick them in the corner. Any suggestions for a good question will be most welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave up on FF as it was pointless. Went to meetings and asked questions, written to directors etc. Got absolutely nowhere. If you aren't singing off their pre-set song sheet then you can forget it. Apart from anything else, you have to be a C1872 member for this event therefore that rules out the vast majority of our fans including ST holders and shareholders.

I have a candidate in mind as we need a voice of the real fans group on there. Fuck the blazers, there are more working class fans (I'm sure) contribute to 1872 and we need action, not soundbites. That will never happen as they will not allow it to happen. How do you get someone to represent those fans who do not want involved with C1872 into a meeting with the club? Answer: you don't. I have tried again and again to get a group for every fan but the nearest we got was the Fans Board which whilst not perfect was a starting point. All it required was a a tweak here and there. The current board binned that and set up C1872 in its stead as they had control of their new entity whereas they had no control over the RFB although a couple of RFB members did the dirty on the RFB in favour of the new board.

Of that there is no doubt. But he voluntarily left that board far too early, because he couldn't go back and edit what he had said and make sure it was perfect. He's a brilliant writer and his articles capture what the majority of fans are thinking. But he can't talk the way he writes. He was never the right guy for that job. That's is by no means a dug in D'Art, its more to do with him getting put forward for a role that he was never suited to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
