Title: New Supporters Association
Post by: Inclusion and Diversity on February 28, 2020, 12:00:34 AM

At the recent Meet the Board meeting, it was suggested that the Board would welcome the formation of a new Supporters Association. Has anyone had any thoughts on if they would like to get involved?

Might be worth you looking at the football trust model. It definitely saved Pompey, Exeter and Northampton down south. Does need a degree of leadership to set up but I don't see why you couldn't use it as a vehicle to get league football if thats what you want! You'd have to give up pitch side drinking though. I see from Wikipedia that your forefathers did try to get election to the football league relatively recently, perhaps you're not as ambitious now? ;)
Ps #altrincham fc thanks for the best wishes on twitter against Arsenal on Monday noticed and much appreciated, sadly not to be- but this weeks important match is at Peterborough!
Best wishes with your own bid for promotion.

Any more on this?

Or on hold under the current circumstances?

Its waiting for someone to step up and take the lead I guess. It should be supporter led, not by the club.

I think it all depends on what the club want it to be and what the fans want.

We had an SLO which didn't work out well, they didn't seem to achieve much.
