Its a very interesting proposal and one that if used correctly could become vey big. It obviously cant start out straight away with trying to tackle the Sack the board/Agar out issues as it would fail straight away.
I would be happy to input into the group with a few ideas and contacts that may help especially when a new group is started if the constituiton is written correctly there are £0,000s available to groups.And CVS are usually willing to help write these and give you details on the funds you can apply for. Is anyone puttingsigns up in the other bars(parkers/brickies/3 Tuns) and places where FC fans frequent to allow for a good cross section of people. It may also be an idea to tr and get some High Profile Patrons such as Kemble/Swain etc

Good Post

1 of the problems with this regime is they don't recongise our past hertiage and players

you ll do well to put up a sign in 3 tuns

stick one on the metal grids that cover the windows

Dont know why I put 3 Tuns (its 3 crowns on anlaby road aint it that I meant) tbh was just quickly trying to get a point across about other places

I think we have to be realistic in what we want to achieve while also being objective towards issues related to the club. We can establish an ISA and use it as a vehicle to deliver objectivety while supporting the club as a whole through different activities.

Eminently sensible.

You do realise that you're talking yourself into the Chair of this new ISA, don't you?

That’s pretty much the way I see it also. To have any chance of having an open dialogue and forming a relationship with the club, the group must be seen to want to make a positive contribution to the club, and not just get rid of the board/coach. If people turn up to Charleston in a couple of weeks with the sole intention of only joining the group to get rid of Kath, Rule and Agar then we are wasting everyone’s time.

The Black and White association has been raising money for youth development, providing equipment and also sponsorship for years. In the past, they have had an excellent relationship with the club, but I am led to believe that it is not so strong right now. That in part could be due to the fact that members (not the committee) are losing interest and people may not be renewing their membership. I wonder that rather than starting a new group from scratch, if their would be any mileage in approaching the B&WA and seeing if they would welcome new members and maybe change tact a little bit and organise regular open meetings with all it’s members. I know most of the committee members personally and would be happy to approach them if people feel that this could be the way forward.

That was an idea I had a few years ago mate and spoke to the late Albert about and a very good one i believe. Both associations coming together would bring almost the whole compliment to the table.
