AFC Hornchurch Supporters Club

[kimbles left foot]

i'm happy to help with the website and publicity side of things?

[blackballed]

UM I would be very please to be part of it......and Jane I left school in 1968, and dont remember milk after 63..........sorry UM

Indeed tree,at the least it should be advertised on a couple of boards around the ground and in the tea bar and i am sure the club wouldn't have a problem in putting something in the programme,next home game is hastings on the 4th,don't know if this is too soon or maybe the harlow game on monday the 13th and arrange the meeting for a couple of nights after.

I think sundays after a saturday home game will be awkward for some of our loved up followers

[Eastside Urchin]

nice one chaps,great to see so many ideas.

think we should have a club night one night a week and maybe a 2 weekley or monthly meeting to discuss issues

[and1inthetree]

nice one kimble.

 

when's the next home game then?

[Eastside Urchin]

we have hastings on the 4th,saturday week,next one after that is the 13th,easter monday

[Eastside Urchin]

after harlow we have a home game on the following thursday and then again on the saturday so it may be difficult to arrange for that week.Probably the best week would be after the Harlow game,maybe one night that week,thursday may be the best night,this could also be "club" night,or even the friday????

[kimbles left foot]

I'd say a Wednesday or Thursday night would be good? perhaps we could arrange somthing before the quiz?

[Eastside Urchin]

We can definatly put the word about before the quiz and after we get back from hendon sunday i am sure there will be time to discuss it beforehand.I think tree is right about maybe advertsing it at a game though as to get as many fans involved and knowing about it as possible,not everyone will be at the quiz but the majority of fans will be at the next couple of home games.I would say thursday is the better day as there is no football on tele usually and more should turn up

[kimbles left foot]

yep cool - how about somthing on the site about getting involved?

Can you get any fliers produced to hand out to all sections of the crowd?

[Eastside Urchin]

Should be able to.These are all great ideas,i am sure we can get max to announce it over the tannoy before,during and after the game

[Dagger03]

How about 'Hornchurch Supporters Club' sponsoring player of the match for one of our home games this season? (Does anyone know how much this is?). If feasible, then I would suggest the bank holiday match or the Hastings match - or both if we can raise enough money to start it all off.

 

Put an advert in the programme, hand out flyers, and get it announced over the tannoy.

 

This could be combined with an advert for coach travel.

Supporters clubs normally include the running of the bar as this would be the largest form of income and where most of the fund raising events would be held.

As with a lot of games this season people would rather meet in the Yeaoman rather than use our facilities.

When the Euros was on, only a hand full came to the club to watch matches.

I presume this attitude would need to change.

The takings from the bar must go directly to the club to finance wages etc. People using the club will, i think, increase now that sky is available again.

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

i think he said running the bar, not taking the takings

[Hornchurch "O"]

Correct Rat Man.

 

As an example Leyton Orient supporters club donated

[Eastside Urchin]

we would not want to take a penny from the bar,we would be using the clubs facilities on "supporters clubs nights" and other events.

Any monies raised would invariably be used for supporters & the club only.

I have had some pms from other clubs with ideas help which i am grateful of.

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Rob, I've got loads of papers that may come in handy for you to read.... all stuff that I accumulated after Nov04.

 

I'm over this saturday so maybe I can drop them into you.... let me know.

[Eastside Urchin]

yes please mate,perhaps we can meet for a jar or two in the crumpled,but i must not have a late one as i am up early for hendon the next day.Want to bend your ear on a few things anyway.

Had some good feedback,mainly from some of our bitterist rivals lol
