Fans Club for Morecambe
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 8:18 pm
Many thanks to all those fans who came to the get together yestarday after the Accy game, and especially to those who contributed ideas.
Some of the contributions I can't repeat, but they were funny nonetheless.
It's an honour to have been asked to provisionally chair procedings for now. The plan is at the moment to arrange a formal meeting on Tuesday 18th January in the evening, specific details to come. And because not every fan comes on here, we're going to hand out flyers publicising the meeting at the game beforehand, which is at home to Torquay FC.
All ideas are very welcome indeed, and any volunteers willing to take on any role and also to hand out flyers about the meeting to fellow fans would be much appreciated. I will approach the club to gain their permission of course.
The meeting will be looking into the specifics of setting up the supporters club and as was the case yesterday, we welcome any and all contributions.
For those who couldn't make it yesterday here are the main points from fans who worked in groups to come up with their ideas. In no particular order, and suggestions that were made in a really proactive/positive way to try and do our bit as fans (I haven't edited any, and none are meant to be critical, merely constructive, they were some common themes though as you can see):
membership card with benefits
potts pies before the match
more cask ales/ guest ales in the bars
website for the fans (as well as the fabulous shrimpsvoices)
something for juniors to encourage them
meeting place and regular meetings with club presence
weekly quiz in the club bar
fans forum
reds renamed JB's and heritage celebrated
events in JB's
reinstate Junior reds
fans liaison with club
fundraising for the club
social events in the wright &lord suite
newsletter and weekly video update
football memoribilia and past triumphs around the globe bar
more choice of food at he catering outletss
better half time entertainment
roof behind the MBW stand
sing more
work with the community and club to reduce parking problems on surrounding streets
whoever wants to join supporters club, collect names and addresses
amalgamate travel
ask other supporters clubs how they operate
junior football teams
dart boards/ pool table / teams in local league
any further ideas are very welcome, just post them on and get the ball rolling or if you'd rather make a suggestion for the discussion on Tuesday 18th, then just pm me. If you'd like to volunteer for anything then just pm me too. I'm sure you'll have a view on what is and isn't practical and what can be achieved, but hopefully we can work with the club to make things better and increase fan involvement.
many thanks, hope to see you at the next meeting.
