Wouldnt you think that when a club is in trouble they would put out an appeal to the people who are the most likely to help.... The Fans.   Always seems to be the first port of call when they need to raise a few bob.

A47 linnet will you be there on the 7th come up and induced yourself  to me then I’ll know use behind the silly name ,apart from me and Gordon Chivers who use their real name and then being accused of being in infant school is a bit of a joke

I think he could get arrested for that.   


Malcolm. As far as I am aware, the 7th is just a FOTL's meeting. Its not there to address the whole supporter base,only those who have an interest in the FOTL's. I would also assume that the meeting is for FOTL's business, and not for you to take people to task for their comments. 

I also don't think its for discussing the general running of the Club, so maybe you could ask the Chairman to arrange a fans forum instead.   

I'm sure he would get a good response for that.

The worlds second biggest lie..................its in the post!   

[Mallard]

Surely that’s been superseded by ‘I’ll email you’?

I'm fairly sure that i know his identity and if correct, A47 linnet has made a very considerable contribution to the club going back over many years, in various capacities. By the way you can add me to your list of those who use their real name!

The 7th is not actually a meeting for FOTL, more an open evening so fans of all demoninations can come and mingle, you never know your luck but SC may have a few minutes free and would like a chinwag and a beer with his loyal customers?

Will he want Appearance money?

[Mallard]

So a meeting called by FOTL is not FOTL meeting ?

[Grissles Oleary]

Nope, FOTL open evening, open to all fans who wish to come along and have a beer or socialise a bit, maybe make a few suggestions about how they would like to see the FOTL go forward?

[Mallard]

So it won’t carry the format of a meeting and be minuted etc Griss

It will carry the format of an open evening as the title suggests, it is not about formalities, it is about trying to get people together?

...we have nothing in the pipeline yet to speak of. This is one of the reasons for having an open evening,this gives fans an opportunity to make suggestions and put ideas forward,not just for possible ways to raise funds but also to make suggestions as to where those funds could be spent.

Griss, if it not to be a 'proper meeting' then perhaps this needs to be explained to fans before people spend their time and petrol in going to a 'social' event.  I expected (hoped) the meeting to be an opportunity for the committee to explain to members and non-members alike what they have planned for the future and to listen to fans about the sort of things they would a) like to support and b) give direction for where future funds raised could be spent.  Given how few fans (as a proportion of the average crowd) were members of the FOTL in prior years I would have thought this would have been a key requirement if the goal of expanding the membership is to be achieved.
