Anybody want to take on the Gus challenge at the forum yesterday and start one? If the club provided the venue as per yesterday we would only need to meet three times a year. An on-line forum would not be difficult to set up. If the club want it, we should bite their hands off. It could just be for season ticket holders and that would keep Lister's mind occupied!

Not but seriously could we/should we? DH is putting the money in , surely we could get something going?

Im happy to get involved if you need support

As would I, but what would be the point? (Honest question). I don't really understand these things.

Would it not be at least an official body of supporters at least recognised by the club Our Club which is a start and see how we go.

Do they not recognise us as supporters already?

I've no idea what it may entail, but count me in

Knowing you too well Dave, you are well able to answer that yourself! LOL

If I say A you will always say b is right, that is just life and your half empty glass attitude, it would be boring if we were all the same LOL

Ask Sylvia or anybody else from the old SC. I always felt the problem with an SC is in defining what it's purpose would be and how it's constitution would be made up.

The old RSG's and volunteers groups were there for a defined purpose of supporting the club in doing tasks that would have required salaried staff members to do, a luxury the old LB could not afford, but they were not supporters clubs in the defined sense, because an organisation like that needs to have proper officers and articles to set themselves up, with a defined purpose, towards the end of the SC it became really an away travel membership club, with horrendous headaches for those people involved in trying to organise every other week in the face of apathy mainly.

The other issue is in how such a club is perceived by other supporters and more importantly about group effort and not the old hand up until it comes time to be counted attitude from days gone by.

That's right. Those with long memories will know that the first organisation started as Fulham Travelling Supporters' Club, with other bits and pieces being added on later and we ended up with exactly the problems you list. I think the original supporters' club died eventually at Crystal Palace where the RL club succeeded in alienating just about everyone!

The only useful purpose an ISC would serve would be search out another dozen David Hughes'.

The club needs finance, everything else is secondary.

Chicken and Egg maybe.

Riverside Red-To much Timothy Taylor this afternoon?

It was Gus who asked for it! I think he wants some 'sensible' communication with fans but currently has no reliable conduit. It makes a lot of sense for him to have one given the new territory the club is hopefully going in. The least we can do is explore the possibility without getting too bogged down with the problems of the past. I see it as an extension of yesterdays Fans forum which was well attended IMO. If there is enough serious interest I for one would like to be involved, though I think any serious setting up should wait until nearer the start of the new season when more current questions will be answered.

It sounds like a good idea and Something I would like to be involved in. I don't know what it would achieve.

It could sort out simple things like where we will sit at away games and perhaps ordering tickets or even arranging travel to certain games. I think he was hoping for though a good spread and sample of our supporters to give our views on what the club intends to do or what it has done, survey us from time to time, let us organise our own meetings either on game days or mid week in C London.

There are other uses of the group too such as the volunteering side or even one day becoming shareholders in the club

I'd be interested

If I can be of any assistance from down here, count me in.
