I'm out of touch, does the supporters club have any lobbying function or is it simply a group of individuals (apologists) in the back pocket of the club?

Edited for accuracy! Your 'footer' made me smile!

Well, the Official Supporters Group was created by the club with the aim of sidelining the Supporters Trust, so...

Has it achieved that?

I do not think so.

I noticed on the face book page there were six comments on a post about memberships, you could only see one, the other five had been blocked.

I would love to comment on this post but I will be banned if I do.

You are not alone Wantawin in being blocked from viewing.
I and the rest of my family are blocked too. Some Monkey does not like criticism.
This does not reflect well on the club though.

Cross breeding of species is always a problem.

Sorry, out of touch again, I'm assuming the latter actually had a (potentially) useful function for the concerned supporter? And no longer exists?

Surprised they have time to block anyone in between peddling player sponsorships. It's all they seem to communicate via social media. Shambles.

would love to comment but I too would be banned.

You should wear your banning as a badge of Pride.

I'm only a Trust member, not on the committee or anything. The Trust has a few roles - it sponsors the Academy, it raises funds for Broncos-linked charity events, it established and maintains a player database, and hosts events, etc. It would like to have a more formal relationship with the club, but the Broncos keep it very much at arms length - although it is happy to accept money from the trust. It still exists, and will probably be around as long as the club is.

The OSG provides the club with a fig leaf to say it is listening to fans, so it can continue to ignore the Trust.

That's a step up from recent months, where they've mostly been promoting the commercial manager's private company.
