Murray did irreversible damage to our support, splitting us in to multiple groups all focused on each other instead of the good of the club. Nothing much has changed
This is it for me. Additionally, how can Club 1872 call for openness and transparency from the club whilst we’ve heard not a peep about the resignation of two directors for “serious” reasons that are solely to do with Club 1872? The silence undermines their position and the longer it goes on, the longer than might be fatal to the organisation which, as you rightly say, clearly now needs the help of us members.First thing's first.
When are the membership going to be told officially and via Club 1872 comms channels that 2 of the 5 directors have resigned?
This leaves 3 - is this enough for a quorum as per Club 1872 regulations? I genuinely don't know the answer.
Open & transparent - that's what is required right now. What happened, where we are right now, what's next. Because, and this is a guess, I'm assuming the remaining directors need help?
The Rev MacQuarrie emailed me this morning with this which he has since said he is happy to have published in this thread by means of clarification.
If you no longer contribute then your opinion is null and void.I'm one of the 7K who no longer contribute. It boils my piss no end that it always ends up in personal conflicts. The whole point of the fkkin thing is to support the club and interact with fans, not to feed egos or whatever other reasons cause these conflicts.
It must be less than 7K Robert. I cancelled by subs 2 and a bit years ago. I felt they were happy with 7K subscriptions and didn’t want to push for more.When the RF and RST joined together, we had I believe something in the region of 14K members ( not sure how accurate) now I believe we have 7K members
If this was a proper Company, the people in charge would have resigned by now
"Are taking place" means they're happening now.
Club1872 have said they're not.
Keep an eye on Bisgrove. Something is happening with the entire situation that is for the watching.
Sadly, that ship has sailedClub 1872 was a great idea, and it still could be. It is being undermined by the usual lack of professionalism and leadership which plagues so many other such organisations. It is imperative that it gets back to its raison d'être, i.e. representing the interests of the Rangers fans, before all goodwill towards the project dissipates entirely.

That’s the spirit.
Club 1872could be great again - the current directors seem to be barnacles on the boat.
Men of integrity do not have conflictive problemsDoesn’t McQuarrie get a cushy seat in the Director’s Box because of his Chaplin role at the club? Shouldn’t have been on the board for that conflictive reason alone.
Would love to know the full story of why he’s left.
It will not be allowed to go down 'the tubes', too many people have the fans interests at heartSilly question, but when/if Club 1872 does down the tubes (as far as I'm aware there are only three board members left) what happens to the shares?

Mine is on hold for some reasonAs an aside, I just checked my account and it says the status of my subscription is "Dormant" and it was last paid 2017-07-23.
Which is a surprise considering the monthly fee has been coming out on the first of the month without fail?
Mine is on hold for some reason
IMO it is a fact, I know decent people who would step up if required. All I would need to do is ask them.Is that a fact Robert, or just your opinion?
Disagree
Too much has happened for it to take off again
It needs binned.
A new group would be needed, free of any controversial figures that split the support

That is concerning, really hope that the serious reasons Rev. McQuarrie left aren't of legal consequence.As an aside, I just checked my account and it says the status of my subscription is "Dormant" and it was last paid 2017-07-23.

Sorry Robert, but that really made me laugh.... Don't think it was supposed to.IMO it is a fact, I know decent people who would step up if required. All I would need to do is ask them.
Checked mine, everything Ok.Same as myself. Membership status "On Hold". Subscription "Dormant" and next payment due in 2017. Which is nonsense.
How do you update it mate i looked and couldn't see anything about updating ?I just checked my account and it said On Hold. All I had to do was update the subscription and it looks ok now. Having been a member for a while, it seems there may be some problems. I as a member would like updated if this is the case. The people in charge should at all times be held accountable, and be honest and open.
Go into your account. 'View' is highlighted, giving 3 options. Chose your option and I assume that's it.How do you update it mate i looked and couldn't see anything about updating ?
Yip no subscriptions for me aswell as account on holdClub 1872 is a fantastic idea and the fact we have gotten so far with it is nothing but good news.
The internal wrangling however is concerning and not having Stuart McQuarrie on the bird any longer really does concern me.
We need to introduce term limits to the board members. There is no reason for the same people to be running it, the RFC board has changed since club 1872 was set up, as should Club 1872.
I’d urge everyone to keep paying their fees. The bigger picture will always be more important than internal strife.
Just checked my own account and it says on hold, with no subscriptions active. Bit concerning given my payments have never stopped.
Tried mate nothing thereGo into your account. 'View' is highlighted, giving 3 options. Chose your option and I assume that's it.
It worked for me 1/2hr ago. I assume it's only a way of updating your details.Tried mate nothing there
Cant even update details , it says update details here but there nothing there to do it , iv emailed them , btw ££ still coming out my accountIt worked for me 1/2hr ago. I assume it's only a way of updating your details.
Are you suggesting he is a proper Charlie?Doesn’t McQuarrie get a cushy seat in the Director’s Box because of his Chaplin role at the club? Shouldn’t have been on the board for that conflictive reason alone.

Yeah, this is a mystery to me (as a member) and am sure to many others - what on earth has been going on that was so controversial?Who are the ’controversial figures who split the support‘ who are currently involved? Genuine question by the way. I’ve no idea who is involved only that they were all elected by the membership.

I could be wrong but I think the remaining three board members are Laura Fawkes, Euan MacFarlane and Joanne Percival.
When egos take over, anything can happenSeems to me that every fans group we have ever had ends up the same way
Seems like people get pretty wrapped up in their own importance then it all turns to shit very quickly
Another shambles
Laura and Joanne are ex-RST if I remember correctly and hardly ‘controversial or divisive‘ I wouldn’t have thought. I don’t know who Euan McFarlane is tbh. It doesn’t sound like a hotbed of ‘blazer-chasers’ based on those three names.
Just looked on sign up page , says , donations and subscriptions are temporarily unavailable.I've emailed too. It can take 5 days for a response, so I've cancelled my monthly subscription in the meantime.
Laura Fawkes was never involved in the RST except perhaps as a member.

I would trust Joanne 100% but I’m not sure if she is aware of some of what has been going on.Thanks @Christine1872. I thought two ladies had gone over from RST. My mistake for assuming one was Laura.
