Club 1872: Fans must be heard

CLUB 1872 have urged Rangers fans to seize the chance to make their voice heard at Ibrox and highlighted the importance of supporter representation in the wake of the controversial Super League launch this week.

The fan organisation have this week increased their shareholding in RIFC plc by a further 2.15million shares following a deal that has seen them invest £430,000 into Rangers, while a fundraising target of £2.5m has been set as Club 1872 look to further boost their stake before the end of June after their arrangement with Dave King was temporarily paused earlier this year.

Club 1872 director Laura Fawkes stressed the importance of fan representation at Ibrox.

Fawkes said: “The rebuilding process which led to our momentous 55th league victory was made possible by the commitment of supporters and investors and while Club 1872 is proud to have contributed significant sums to support the recovery, we are of course mindful of the damaging events of the past and remain committed to ensuring they are never repeated.

“Fans across the world have provided incredible, direct financial support to the club, but Club 1872 is the only viable vehicle to ensure that supporters retain an essential influence at a shareholder level. The events of this week across European football have once again shown how crucial it is for supporters to have a significant say in the running of their football clubs.”
