Very Sad News but.... I have been asked to respond by announcing that jw1739, one of the most long standing, passionate and very active club members is no longer a member of this forum. He has also suspended his club membership. He has agonised for a long time about the club and, to some extent, the league but his desire for improvement has finally succumbed. The tipping point for him was the fiasco of the club's FRG, the attitude of its members(s), some unexciting signings, and a seeming lack of ambition for the A-League men's team To satisfy his love of football he has reconnected with his UK club and wants to wait on the sidelines for a hopeful better future for MCFC. We will all miss him.

They probably didn't have many to send out 🙁

Totally agree. How are the FRG reps able to put forward fan suggestions and comments if they are not available for us to communicate with them or for us to be aware of what they are doing. Not impressed with the "secrecy" and silence. This is not how the FRG is supposed to operate.

Delayed response due to old synapses. Answer : Yes

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.
