On the back of the defeat on Friday in one of my senseless ramblings on here i asked the question of what suppeorter group we have now - if any?

Is HISA still on the go (if they are apologies for my ignorance)?
What is the role of FC voices (sounds obvious in their title)?
How often and who organises the fans forums?

I ask as it's clear some of us on here (and at matches recently) are becoming annoyed at the current set up. Instead of us individualy sending emails to the club, of which some examples on here are concerning to say the least, we should maybe use the above three 'vehicles' to start to get our message(s) across to the club (whatever those messages may be).

Any business values the opinions of it's customers, granted a sports clubs relationship with it's fans or customers is slightly different, none the less we pay our money therefore we should be allowed a forum to vent our dissatisfaction at certain aspects of the business.

If anyone can enlighten me on the above questions re HISA etc i would appreciate it? Is it worthwhile forming a seperate supporters group? are people interested or do we carry on venting our frustrations on here without much impact? Anyway apologies for waffling on! icon_surprised.gifops:

HISA - Still exist (but the club won't talk to them)
FC Voices - are just a group the club formed to placate the fans because they no longer talk to HISA.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS................YOU GO IN UNDERCOOKED & YOU END UP GETTING ROASTED!!!!!:34077.jpg



Well I for one find it unacceptable that theres an official fans group that the "club" wont talk to!!!! The board are custodians of OUR "CLUB" and its high time they recognised the fact that without supporters the "club" will slide towards oblivion, its our hard earned that we choose to spend on season passes, merchandise, proggrames draw tickets ect ect that keep the "club" going at the level it is now.

A way must be found and found quickly to get the fans message over to KH JR and friends that the majority of our fan base is not happy with the current position both on and off field and unless some action is taken then the "club" will begin to struggle to attract either top quality signings and the level of support and cashflow its currently enjoying(and abusing) !!!


Any ideas???? id welcome PMs

The fans are only ever heard by the club in one way, their income/turnover. If we keep buying season passes and keep buying our shirts the club is a business and thats what they care about. They obviously think Agar is doing ok on delivering what they expect their product to perform like so for the time being were sha*ged!! icon_biggrin.gif

exactly, which is why people should avoid giving the club any cash this next month

there is no reason to be giving the club anything as we have no home games, all the away games you'd get in on the turnstyle so don't let them get their 10% commission and boycott the merchandise.

without a home game its the only way we can be heard, cos as you say all they'll do is look at the financial figures and think we're prepared to put up with crap.

What 3 things would you like to see the club "do"? They can't bring in any more quality players as we are there or thereabouts on the salary cap assuming Crocker and Lauaki get their visas. We currently have 9 players unavailable. They've negotiated a release with Byrne to free up a bit of money, but the rest are either stuck in the Home Office's admin department or injured. I'd like to see a list of things you want the club to do, because at the moment all people are doing is complaining but not presenting viable courses of action.

sack the unqualified coach who was here during the unsuccessful Sharp era and would have been involved in coaching that poor side as well, he should never have been given the job in the first place.

they can do nothing with regard the players, due to contracts, but any decent coach would get a lot more out of our current side.

no coach in the history of RL could get this team of average no hopers to win the grand final, but a better coach would be getting better results.

they need to get out there and offer good money to a top class coach, who in turn would sort the squad for 2010 out.

exactly

I don't think they realised just what a state the club was in when they sacked Sharp, it was then that they needed to clear out all the coaching team and hire a quality coach. Who would have spent the rest of 2008 sorting the team out ready for this season...instead we've delayed everything by a whole year and the fans simply aren't going to wait another 12months to see progress.

What gets me is that Sharp got sacked for the same as what Agar is doing and Sharp had a bigger injury list to contend with.

I suppose Agar hasn't had the time to change the squad that Sharp had though.

both are as guilty as each other, it was those 2 that took a side that finished runner up and needed only a few quality additions to 2nd bottom.

personally i think the style of play is about the same, but Agar is even worse with his tactics and selections than Sharp was...and Sharp seemed have control of the dressing room.
