contacts 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I read today in the paper or heard on the radio that several fans groups are inolved in this campaign but I've not noticed anything on here to confirm this - who are they? The RST and who else? I am also interested in wat the campaign will consist of? Is there a plan of diffrent events? Does anyone know? Apologies if it is on RM and I have missed it.

I'm sure others will provide more details but I thought it was also issued in conjunction with The Blue Order. I haven't heard of any campaign battle plans, O'bama's people will be out of a job next week so maybe they could help. If they can get a black man elected as President then who knows what they could do with Rangers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 505 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm sure others will provide more details but I thought it was also issued in conjunction with The Blue Order. TBO as a group had nothing to do with the 'We Deserve Better' statement. Apparently the RST released a statement to the press which did not mention TBO. The journalist who wrote the piece added our name to his piece without contacting us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 14 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 CDL have backed it, subsequent to the radio coverage yesterday. Nobody else AFAIK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkheadbear 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 So far i think only CDL have said they back it officially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmac 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 if this is the case then i am a bit puzzled. the statement says it is not a trust statement but is backed by them so who exactly is involved? the assembly i believe have said they are not backing it.

BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 The CDL are the only fan group to have publicly backed the campaign. I am sure that other groups will have a mix of members who agree and disagree with the campaign so i think it would be difficult for any group to give their undivided support. I suppose that just shows the division among the support on this issue. The RSA have publicly announced that they will not be supporting the campaign although they haven't produced a valid reason as to why. It just seems like a case of them saying "We don't like the RST so we won't back anything they say or do". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is far too much tribalism and personal pride at play for these valid campaigns to ever work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmac 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 sorry but still confused. so if this is not a trust statement and only cdl have publicly stated they back it, who issued the statement and on whose behalf? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 505 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 sorry but still confused. so if this is not a trust statement and only cdl have publicly stated they back it, who issued the statement and on whose behalf? It is a statement from the Trust who say they are leading this campaign in conjuction with other fans' groups - apparently only one other fan group as it stands.

belter 1 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 So with the trust and the club deck loyal being the supporters of the statement are we talking about 4-6 thousand fan representation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 So with the trust and the club deck loyal being the supporters of the statement are we talking about 4-6 thousand fan representation. Probably around 1'700 fans at most, mate. The current RST membership figure of 5'000 which David Edgar stated is completely untrue. The RST has only around 1'600 with the CDL making up the rest.

belter 1 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Well david edgar quotes a membership of 5 thousand and if u have ever been in the club deck it would be hard to imagine a very large membership coming from the patrons. ps i am a club deck debenture holder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys who haven't been members for years still get letters. Im sure when you Resigned Frankie you said it was around the 800 mark. Then again at meetings you are luck to get 50 FFS.

donmac 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 that is why i was confused. it seems to me this is a trust statement and they are not claiming the rights to it because they have previously been warned by sdm with regards to their conduct.

My quick-fire editing skills were put to good use there. I am sure that Frankie put the membership at 1'600 not that long ago. Could be wrong though.

parkheadbear 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Regardless it is way off the 5K mark. It was 5K when i joined as well even though my membership number was in the 3K figure. I take it has grown from the 5K from 4 years ago or why the need to lie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
