Boycott The Daily Record & Sunday Mail

http://rangers.co.uk/news/opinion/item/3316-time-for-fans-to-unite

...'But please, be patient. As soon as the changes agreed for Rangers PR and media kick in the approach will be very different. Details of those changes will be revealed soon enough but let me share something with you right now.

I worked in papers for years and I know that managements, editors and hacks don't even miss a beat when they hear that a particular club's fans say they aren't going to buy the paper anymore. It means nothing because so far these threats have been empty.

Some fans do withdraw patronage but the fact nothing changes in terms of the balance of reporting suggests too few are exercising their right to switch.

If every fan who said he or she would never buy a particular paper again actually didn't then those publications would be out of business. The bottom line is everything to the managements and shareholders of these companies and a sharp decline in sales would register like a thunder clap at boardroom level.

Too few fans realise just how much power they actually can command, especially if they'd step outwith their different groups and unite in one cause. Believe me, you could make media managements snap to attention and pay closer attention to the agendas of their editors, producers and journalists.

Just imagine the strength to be wielded if, instead of arguing among yourselves on forums, Twitter and Facebook, you all came together and acted as one massive and potent force for change. Just by refusing to acknowledge stories and broadcasts which you believe to be malicious you'd change the entire agenda.

FOLLOWING a recent newspaper article which was critical of Remembrance Day events at Ibrox Stadium, the Armed Forces and Rangers Football Club met today and are pleased to issue the following joint statement on the strength of our relationship:

The Armed Forces are extremely grateful for the long-standing and continued support that they receive from Rangers Football Club, its players and supporters and appreciate the effort that goes into staging the many special events that are run in support of Service charities throughout the year by the Rangers Charity Foundation. 

It has been brought to the Services' attention that a small number of people did not find the conduct of the Servicemen and women involved in the 2012 Remembrance Weekend event at Ibrox Stadium to be appropriate for the occasion.

The General Officer Commanding Scotland and Rangers Football Club have discussed this issue at length and have agreed that Remembrance Day will continue to be marked by the club in future with activities that are suitably sombre and restrained.

The Service chiefs in Scotland will emphasise to their people that the focus of all Remembrance activities should be on those who have died in the service of their country, not on those serving in the Armed Forces today, and that they must be conducted with solemnity and respect.

Planning has already commenced for a Remembrance event at Ibrox in November 2013 and this will include both pre-match and half-time acts of remembrance.

The heads of the Armed Forces in Scotland are keen for the public to be able to show their appreciation for the Armed Forces – such displays of admiration for our soldiers, sailors and airmen and the recognition of the difficult and dangerous work they undertake on behalf of the nation are good for morale and for the relationship between the Armed Forces and society.

The focus for such events should be on Armed Forces Day and at the many and various homecoming parades and community engagement events held throughout the year.

Rangers Football Club is planning a major match day Armed Forces event early in the autumn once the new season is under way.

The General Officer Commanding Scotland is keen to ensure that the strong relationship between Rangers Football Club and the Armed Forces remains intact and that the club will continue to arrange events at which the nation's warriors can be acknowledged in the future.

He also hopes that Rangers Football Club will continue to deliver its strong support to military charities and thanks the Rangers Charity Foundation in particular for its partnership with ABF The Soldiers' Charity this season.

He wishes all those taking part in the Walk With Heroes at Ibrox in aid of The Soldiers' Charity on Sunday 28th April the very best of luck and thanks them in advance for their fund-raising efforts.

Vanguard Bears understands the unnamed newspaper editor, mentioned by James Traynor in his excellent statement released earlier today, is none other than Rangers hater Allan Rennie, pictured below.

Mr Rennie may well be pondering over his natural reaction when he shrieked "It's a f*cking Government conspiracy" when hearing of the EBT result returning in favour of Rangers, and it could be suggested that holding his head in his hands after learning Rangers had won the Tax Case may be nothing more than a nasty migraine?

We're sure you can make up your own minds......

FOLLOWING an article in today's Sunday Mail the club has issued the following statement:

Rangers have always had a close and respectful relationship with this country's services personnel and associated charities. That will continue.

No one from any of the Forces has been in contact with us other than to thank us for our support and help. Indeed, it was pointed out that our Remembrance event proved to be the single largest memorial event in Scotland in the year in question.

The Remembrance part of the afternoon was observed impeccably and carried precisely the correct degree of solemnity. This was, as should always be the case, entirely separate from anything that some might have deemed frivolous during half time an hour or so later.

That was when service people about to be deployed abroad wanted to celebrate in normal football style.

All activities on the day were arranged in full co-operation with the Royal Navy, RAF and Army. They have always been extremely appreciative of the club's efforts and acknowledge we are massive supporters of the country's serving men and women, as well as veterans.

Also it comes as no surprise that this story surfaced in the Daily Record or should that be the Daily rebel as the Journalist David Leggat has proved their ever increasing links to Celtic football Club.

LISTEN RANGERS FANS!!!

Its simple we are coming together in one unified voice as the Boycott of Dundee United proves. If we as one don't patronise Rangers hating organs like the Daily Rebel et al they will hear our voice when it hits them in the pocket.

If you buy or contribute to Rangers Haters you are effectively buying your abuser the stick to hit you over the head with!
