Repair George Square Benches Accidently Damaged During Celebrations

[Robert Marshall]

Rangers Football Club celebrated their World Record 55th League Championship yesterday! For a football club to have come through so much and emerge to again become the Kings of Scottish Football is a remarkable achievement.

The Rangers Support have been with the club all the way and it was to be expected that there would be joyous celebrations to follow. During these celebrations, there appears to have been accidental damage to a small number of memorial benches in George Square. This, whilst clearly unintentional, is not something the Rangers Support would like to have seen done and as a result, we are fundraising to replace these benches as a true and sincere gesture of respect.

If there are any additional funds raised we will donate them to the Anthony Nolan Charity which helps save the lives of people with blood cancer and blood disorders. If you are aged between 16-30 you can also help by joining their donation register https://www.anthonynolan.org/8-ways-you-could-save-life/donate-your-stem-cells

[Lord Summerisle]

Classy.

 

[onedadoprso.1]

It's our city so it's only right we correct any accidental damage from yesterday. Great idea.

 

[GusPolinski]

Class. Great idea. Will donate just now.

@Robert Marshall
No less than expected from you, just called for such a thing on a different thread.

Hopefully the money can commission one of our own to replace the benches rather than give to Glasgow Council?

 

[bedsblue]

Unfortunate as it was that some benches got damaged we are doing the right thing here by repairing them and another charity will get it's coffers boosted by a considerable sum to moot.I wonder how we will get portrayed by this?

 

[El Pedro]

Brilliant gesture, will donate to this

 

[daven37]

Donated.

Loved watching the celebrations - only right we cover the cost for fixing these benches.

 

[SenoraCuellar]

There’s a story on twitter about how one of the benches is a memorial for a still born baby. I’m going to be honest there. Anyone looking in that’s responsible. You’re a lady's front bottom.

Good to see the support responding to repair this but it won’t fix the pain it caused. We really do make open goals for ourselves.

Is that a serious question?

The club should be offering to pay, I’m not overly keen on the relative silence on this one.

 

[Mols 9]

I loved seeing the celebrations but wrecking memorial benches is poor.

Chill, it wasn't deliberate. Just punters getting a wee bit carried away.

 

[Speedmeister]

Donated, hopefully get the total quickly and get this rectified asap.

 

[The Barrel]

Donated....almost at £1,000 already.

 

[The Barrel]

As for the damage it is 99% down to folk standing/jumping on them rather than malicious damage.

 

[Neilston Unionist]

Was there last night. Donated.

Never saw this happen though, would guarantee it was just a huge team of folk not thinking piling onto it and it just collapsed.

It was high spirts and exuberance and not done with malice

 

[OdinsBeard]

Done.

@Robert Marshall I’ve seen another page set up by John whyte that has already raised £1800 perhaps time to combine efforts

 

[TCWNS1872]

Donated....almost at £1,000 already.

I’m sure a couple of grand will more than cover it.

I can donate on payday Thursday. Least I could do.

I highly doubt it was deliberate

 

[Gee59]

Small donation made, let's get this done bears.

 

[Corriebear]

Great gesture. Well done for organising.

 

[The Barrel]

Over £1000 now....keep going bears.

 

[Diego Maradona]

Club should pay for this. Decent PR.

I'm pretty sure they will. Decent people make good decisions

 

[Robert Marshall]

I’m sure a couple of grand will more than cover it.

We are not sure about the damage but I'm quite sure these benches will be quite expensive
Needs to be the best quality wood to survive the weather
Invoice will be posted when we get them done

TBF this applies to damaging a memorial for any loved one. So for anyone looking in who may be responsible for damaging any of those benches. You are a mindless lady's front bottom. Great gesture by bears to fund the repair. I'll contribute. But we shouldn't have to.

You seem to be implying the damage was done deliberately?

Nice sentiment but it would be turned against the club in a negative manner by SMSM

 

[CupidStunt]

People stand on benches during public gatherings. It's not an attack on whatever the memorial circumstances are, perspective needed.

 

[xd182]

OR was it those pesky Hammarby fans?

Can throw twenty squid in just now, if that helps.

Edit; was only a tenner I could do, DDs (direct debit) day for my account.

Come on, are you implying a Rangers fan read the memorial, digested it's sensitivity and importance and decided to wreck anyway?

There's enough people attacking us at the moment, come on...

Thanks for all the donations so far

I hear you Robert. B&Q garden fodder won’t cut it. But surely the whole seating compliment wasn’t trashed?

 

[Leopold]

Wit?

Benches were accidentally broken, what do you want Rangers to say?

 

[WATP87]

Donated. Great gesture troops

 

[SuperGers07]

Nearly £3k raised with the two on the go

No one is suggesting that we will need to find out how many
But I will put everything out for public viewing
