Trust/RSC Liaison Offer

Continuing our high profile drive to increase the profile and success of 'GerSave', the Trust would like to extend an invitation to all RSC's to get involved - not just with GerSave but in the Trust itself.

As such, if any RSC would like a RST rep to attend one of their meetings (or speak on their bus) the Trust would be happy to come to an arrangement with regard to this. If any RSC would also like us to supply any RST literature again we'd be happy to help.

If your RSC is interested in any of the above or if you have any other questions, please contact us through our website.

The RST Needs You! Help Needed at Ibrox Next Week! Win Hospitality Tickets!

As part of our ongoing 'GerSave' promotion we will be attaching a 'GerSave' booklet to every seat in Ibrox for the Motherwell game next Saturday 28th October. As such will be looking for as much assistance as possible to help make this happen.

We will be looking for people to come into Ibrox at 10am on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning next week and help ensure each seat in the stadium will have a booklet. Each day we'll be allowed in the stadium until 5pm so helpers are welcome at any time between then.

This will be a pivotal moment in launching Gersave awareness and thus the Trusts' existence. Therefore we are looking for everyone to help out wherever possible. Even if you are only able to help out for a couple of hours, every little bit helps and would be greatly appreciated.

If you turn up and help on the set-up times you will automatically be entered into a special raffle. This will give 2 people the chance to win individual hospitality packages for a future game. This is your opportunity not only to help out the Trust but to enjoy an important SPL match in 5* comfort.

To find out more please email joanne@rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk or contact us through the site form. More news early next week about this vital initiative.

'GerSave' Brochure Drop Gets Great Reception

The Trust would like to announce that due to the incredible hard work of several volunteers, Saturdays 'GerSave' brochure drop went very well. Although we weren't able to have a brochure on every seat due to time restrictions and the bad weather, so far the response has been very positive.

If you didn’t have a brochure on your seat, you can download one from the ‘GerSave’ part of our site. Of course, if you prefer, we can mail a hard copy out to you instead.

Together we can make the scheme a great success and hopefully many fans will agree with the legends by giving their backing to the scheme and the Trust.
