Agenda for Tomorrow’s Fans Meeting at The Louden Tavern: Ibrox Stadium – At 1pm

Intent of tomorrow’s meeting:

We would like to make an attempt to bring civility back to the Rangers Support and thrash out a ‘code of conduct’ for how fans interact with each other online and in real life.
It has been a hard time for the support as different views about what is best for the club are prevalent but this isn’t about protests, boycotts, supporting the board or anything else. It is purely about Rangers Supporters meeting and finding a way to give each other the respect a Rangers Supporter should have with one another. This is not about who is right and who is wrong – it is about the support moving forward and people with differing views being able to speak to each other in a civil manner.
We believe that by analysing some of the issues our support have we can look at what triggers any potential animosity and therefore find possible solutions to allow our support to engage in progressive debate.

Agenda:
• Introductions
• Where we as a support are:
o What the perception is
o What do we believe the reality is: i.e. Real life v Online
• Possible reasons for any issues between the Rangers Support that we can have an influence on
o does our own behaviour contribute to any possible splits
o Specifically what triggers issues that you have.
• What can we do to minimise the hostility and have civil, productive debate.
o Should we come up with a voluntary ‘code of conduct’?
 What specifically should that entail
 What should be the actions to those who do not hold themselves to such standards
o Is there any other potential solutions?
• AOCB
