Our Club does care

[Christine1872]

I’m really fed up with people moaning about everything so thought I’d share a nice story. The lady who has sat next to me at Ibrox for as long as I can remember is turning 90 in October. She is a fantastic lady who has beaten cancer and, at aged 89, she started going on a supporters bus as she doesn’t like driving at night. Anyway, I contacted the Club about her and she got a lovely letter from Stewart Robertson inviting Rena and a guest to the Directors Box for the St Mirren Game. A lovely touch for someone who first went to Ibrox when she was 8.

 

[The Gooner]

Lovely touch from the Club. I hope the lady has a great day out which she thoroughly deserves.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Love hearing stories like this.

Well done to you for contacting the club, a really nice gesture.

 

[828909]

Great gesture, and a very Happy Birthday to her when it comes.

I hope I’m still going to Ibrox when I’m 90!

 

[ManxRanger]

Stories like this certainly need more publishing and brought to a wider audience!

Really is a great touch by the Club!

God bless her. Class from you OP as well as class from the club. We Are The People!

 

[JCL]

Thank you for sharing something positive. There's a lot of good things done by those who work at Rangers that go unmentioned so it was great to read this.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Great effort Christine and RFC

 

[TheDerryend]

Thanks for this christine, was a pleasant surprise to see a good news story for a change.

 

[BigBill32]

Thanks for posting Christine. Well done to you and the club.

 

[DerekSSR]

Credit where it's due.

 

[Salsabear]

Amazing that she’s been attending for 81 years.

Wow, just wow.

Hope she has a cracking day and kudos to Christine

 

[Now and forever]

Of course that is a fine gesture for Ibrox but, they are still woeful in communication with the support for example.

 

[JRei23]

I hope Rena enjoys her day and well done Christine and to Rangers . Brilliant

Give it a rest ffs

 

[Hateley's Mullet]

What's her opinion on the hot dogs at Ibrox then vs now?

Happy birthday to her, and good on you!

Come on. This is a lovely story. No need to derail thread with negativity please.

Thanks for sharing.

I'd imagine Rena has some great stories to tell of attending Ibrox in the 40s and 50s - how she travelled to and from the matches and what the pre and post match routines were and what it was like in the stadium back then.

Would love to hear more from this generation of Rangers supporter.

 

[CraigGer]

Lovely thread. The club have always been good to me. Especially when I was a kid, Autographs.

 

[johnny1872]

Brilliant story and well done Christine.

Happy Birthday when it comes Rena.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Great stuff we seem to have a few in our support going after everything connected to Rangers at the moment.

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Always one.

The biggest gesture us all on you for contacting the club.

Well done you.

It is also good from the club but I think this type of thing is expected from a club of our size and stature.

Still, well done to the club, and you in particular. I hope the lady enjoys her experience.

 

[GovanFront4]

That's a lovely story.

Unfortunately when my grampa had cancer and wanted to transfer the season ticket to me I was accused of lying by the ticket office staff.

So I mean I'm glad it's getting better.

That is really awful. You would have had enough to deal with without being accused of being a liar by the Ticket office.

It took longer than I thought for someone to drag the post down!

 

[GovanFront4]

Fortunately SLO was really helpful in getting a complaint chased up.

It still pains me to be honest, so while it's good hearing stories like the one in the thread, to say the club does care as if people haven't had the right to complain previously is wrong.

Agree with you

 

[RaskolnikovBear]

That's class Christine and so are you. Warms my cold heart.
Kudos to you and happy birthday Rena.

 

[Dylanbear]

That is a wonderful story. Well done, Christine and the club, And here’s to Rena enjoying many more years at our beautiful home.

 

[CheltBlue]

I hope we all can achieve 80 years of Rangers. My heart is warmed.

 

[Plantation pioneer]

Great news. My dad turned 90 in September, he had to give his ST up 2 years ago. Tom Lawrence sent him a nice wee video message and hopefully if he gets to a stage we will get him into hospitality for one last game.

 

[Deco1978]

Brilliantly OP

 

[RFC_Falkirk]

Lovely story. Hope she has a great day!

 

[Swindon Gers]

Well done all involved for organising, hope Rena has a great day and best wishes to her

 

[Diego Maradona]

Nice to hear. Well done them.

 

[Stanley]

That’s great to hear, Christine. These wee stories make all the difference. It also tells us what a great support we have, with people like you helping out fellow bears. I still remember, for those that don’t know, that you did a grand job with the RST.

 

[vinnie]

82 years following the famous! I can hope to be so fortunate.

Well done everyone involved. Love these stories.

 

[NigelSpackmansBowTie]

A bad story about Rangers has gone round the world twice before a good story has pulled its boots on. Or something… There is surely far more good about the club than bad. It is good to be reminded of that. People try to do their best. Sometimes they do their best badly. But they mean for the best and they care.

 

[Anony Mouse]

What a nice story. As many have said, i bet she has a few stories to tell. If only someone could ask her about te changes she has seen. Lovely gesture by the club, and thanks to christine for bringing this to their attention. I hope she enjoys her day, and atleast a bouquet of flowers for her

This speaks very highly of our club, but I’ve also got to say, it speaks very of you.

What a nice thing to contact the club and bring her to the attention of the board. Well done and congratulations to this grand old lady in blue I hope she has a fantastic day in the Directors Box

 

[TamS-RFC]

A little positivity! Brilliant from the club and Happy Birthday to the wee Lady when it comes!
