Ricksen winter tournament

[Der-goalie]

Posted this idea in a thread months ago About the possibility of a Ricksen Tournament being held during the winter break

Rangers , AZ , Fortuna and Zenit all coming to Ibrox for a weekend to compete , create fan zones etc with tents etc up across the road in the sports complex ( if possible ) with all proceeds going to Fernandos Family and donate to charities to help fight against this awful illness , reckon it could be possible?

 

[Monts1310]

Probably, not.

Nice thought though, mate.

 

[Ibroxkev]

I’d rather the players got a break

Not against a fundraiser though.

As nice an idea as it is I think Gerrard will be wanting to head to warmer climates for a training camp

 

[a_weir]

It's definitely possible but not probable, I am afraid.

I'd be against a tournament for the first team tbh but absolutely hope there is a benefit/charity match of some sort. Rangers v Holland Legends game perhaps?

Horrible horrible illness

Why the winter? Do it in the summer pre season.

 

[Godrup99]

Good idea, wrong time of year.

As mentioned, a massive charity/benefit match.

Rangers all stars v dutch/ricksen select.

All players he played with and our legends and his fellow team mates. Itd sell out

Great idea for pre-season next year.

Did his ex wife pay out what she owed? Horrible thought him passing with a young family and without much of what he should have had

 

[Papasmurf]

Maybe in the summer. Not in the winter. Good idea though

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

Given Stephen Derby has recently been diagnosed with MND, l think a friendly with Liverpool in the summer close season would be better attended. The issue with January is the weather - a warm sunny day in June / July will be better.

Split proceeds between MND, Fernando’s family, Stephen Derby’s charity and family.

No, Fernando was still battling with her throughout his fight.

Yeah, this would be a good idea, assuming the other sides were up for it.

Superb idea and who better than our Manager to make it happen.

Donate to the Charity direct, no overheads. Can still be done in his name if that’s what you want to do.
