£55 Erskine?

[shug1971]

Just a thought. We would all spend a few quid in the pub when it happens, would be a great gesture to donate £55 to said institution if affordable?

I think you are asking a lot mate looking for £55.
Why not an affordable amount? Eg £5.55 ?

You have a realistic chance of getting that.
£55 is a huge ask.

I'm sure they will be grateful for either.

Fair play - i'll be doing this.

There has been a worldwide pandemic, massive associated economic uncertainty and people are living on a fixed income in an unprecedented manner. Asking people to donate over £50 in those circumstances seems a tad tone deaf at best, downright stupid at worst.

I get both points

55p, £5.55, £55, who cares but anyone who wants to or can afford to donate can choose

I’m not tech savvy so was hoping someone would do the business on that side of it. Donated the last time there was a link on here, let’s be honest we would blow a fortune in the pub (understandably) on Sunday or whenever it is. Couldn’t think of a better cause to give it to instead.

Oh ok mate I’m still furloughed myself. Fair enough if those of us can’t it’s those of us who can I was thinking of. Was just a thought no need for the insults. It’s not a tax it’s an idea to raise money for a cause most of us care about. Chill out

Jesus I’m not asking for anything. Something I thought would be a good fundraiser that’s all. No one has to donate a penny ffs. I’m completely aware of the situation a lot of us are in believe me.

Calm down. Im not dismissing the idea. I support it. I'm saying you have more chance of success if your suggestion wasn't mentioning £55.

Ok fair enough it was just a number that came to mind. I’m sure even 55p would be welcome. Was imagining how much I would spend in the pub celebrating that’s all I didn’t want to make anyone feel that they should or feel bad if they couldn’t. Most of us are struggling including myself so I’m not out of touch.

It's a great idea to generate something and playing on 55 catches the spirit. I'd happily donate to any fund raising.

Great idea but let's not forget the Rangers charity Foundation.

 

[GovanGer54]

Personally I think it's a great idea.
I do realise a lot of people are struggling, I'm fortunate to be able to work from home. I will donate.

Calling a fellow fan "downright stupid" or "tone deaf" for suggesting some of us donate money to charity?

 

[grailpr]

RSEA have something being finalised. Will be announcing next week

 

[RenfrewBear72]

If my coupon comes in £55 will go straight to them, if not a smaller donation will be made
Fair play OP it's a good point and says a lot it's in your thoughts today of all days.
