Supporters Club

[Blue_and_Gold]

Good morning all.

This arrived via a PM this morning.

If anyone would like to respond either on the forum or by a pm to me, I'll be only too happy to pass your interest (or lack of it) on to the people involved.

If you answer via PM your names will not be disclosed. I'll only inform them of the number of people that responded.




Hello.
I wonder if you can help us please?
A few supporters are interested in forming a Supporters Club with the aim of forging closer links with the club with events and fund raising.We'd like to include the Ladies team and the Academy in this if there is enough interest as we believe these have been neglected in the past.
We have had a very brief chat with someone involved at the club and they liked the idea.
Before we go to a lot of trouble we wonder if you could help us by posting something so we can gauge the interest with the supporters.Would you mind posting for us and asking the question?We don't wish to disclose our names just yet in case there is no interest but all will become clear if there is.
Thank you.

I would suggest the best person on this forum to advise is Malcolm.  As an ex Chair of the last supporters group I'm sure he has some valuable info on the way forward and the pitfalls that may lay ahead

Hi yes I surpose there is room for a Surporters club if it is formed properly I can't see why not and yes I would help with advice on how to avoid the pit falls that it involves

Maybe the funds from the old supporters club FOTL could start it? Never did hear where it went?

Maybe Malc as the Chair of the former Supporters Group could help with the transfer of the funds to the new Group, if and when it is formed.?

Griss  the money is still in the bank minus the cost of the new tele in the club house, regarding the transfer of money Mall I think we could just change the name on the account,regarding how much is there I have no idea Matt Hanney is the man who would know

[Blue_and_Gold]

Money that is ultimately due to go to the Club.

Presumably Bal is aware of it's existence and all the people involved?

The mythical friends of the linnets money !!!! The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is more likely to be found. I think we need more proof of this monies existence because there certainly hasnt been any sign of it for the last 2 years. Also how would Bal know anything about it as the friends were wound up long before his involvement with the Club. Maybe in some peoples eyes Bal has mythical powers or alternatively Malcolm could tell him.

Whats that got to do with it?   

Just because he wasn't here when FOTL's were still going doesn't mean that he's not been told about it. It's money which ultimately has to end up at the Club and if its a few Grand (as rumors suggest), I'm sure he would be interested in it.

He's also been in discussions with the Trust recently and one of their Directors was also a FOTL's committee member so would have had some degree of knowledge about it.

With Bal's main interest apparently being getting money in, I can't see him just letting this one pass by.

The friends money is still in the bank minus the cost of the big tv in the club house , where this has started about missing money is a load of barlambs so can we drop it. I will get to know how much there is in the bank through the treasurer

[Mallard]

That's it Malc get the info then this can be finally put to bed.  Hopefully there is a tidy sum to get the new Supporters Group up and running

When was the TV purchased?

Well said Malcolm.

I'm sure the accounts will show what's come in and what's gone out. If people want to see anything concerning FOTL's money, it should be fairly easy to do a reconciliation between the accounts and the bank statements.

In fact, one without the other is not a lot of good really.

I don't know exactly the date was when the Big T V was purchased I think it was a couple of months after the club was folded
