That's why they are called "highlights"

How about a simple "come along, meet the players, hear what we are doing to make you part of the club, enjoy the sausage sizzle and thank you for being a" member" of a dynamic, focussed, fan and community club".

JW1739 - Congratulations for hanging in there. I was initially enthusiastic and many times offered to help the club. However I gave up and cancelled my "membership" a couple of years ago because of the lack of connection, interest and feedback from the club and, I would suggest, I'm not alone. However I have maintained interest in the club and would, like the many others, be tempted back by a change from the club toward their fan base. Should one live in hope?

The decline continues. Sad to hear this JW1739 - one of the all time "rusted on" supporters. I wonder if they will even recognise the fact when there is no one in the stands?

Crikey. Didn't think I was ever going to reach the end of your list. What on earth do some of those titles even mean AND where is there any evidence of product from them?

Always has been. What the public see is a reflection of management.

On this note - I would like to get in touch with whoever is running the current Active group as I cannot find any contact information. Could you please send me a PM.

This echoes the hospital episode on Yes Minister.

And with the support and backing of the club

There has been "something wrong" with this club for quite a while and it is certainly a lot deeper than players and coaches. There is a total lack of passion, excitement and pride in every aspect of it. The team fails to give joy or a belief that they will perform each week. The club is a faceless corporation. The supporters are not made to feel a part of the club. It so appears to be a business focussed on the financials. One wonders where we would be without the loyal, rusted on soccer tragics. I know I am a miserable bugger but it frustrates me. So much that could be and isn't.

I will be looking after this thread while JW1739 attends the Germano Rehabilitation Centre - could be a loooong recovery!! I am also just a little worried that his injury is a dirty, rotten plan to attract sympathetic help.(It is.) Anyway, here is the latest update: 3 April 2024 by jw1739 while mjake1234 takes an undeserved holiday and is clearly not up to the job anyway.

I actually don't think it's primarily the fans at fault. What we have is an entertainment product. I feel it all starts with the club. If they actively promoted themselves and delivered an entertaining atmosphere this would attract more spectators. More spectators gives more atmosphere and attracts more spectators - and here we go.

You mean nothing's changed?

"I think it's up to the clubs to control their own fans." And the best way to do this is to have genuine close cooperation with active.
