Club open

[Eastside Urchin]

the club will be open from about 6.30pm This thursday evening.

The players have their first training session of pre season (poor buggers)

 

And the supporters club comittee have a comittee meeting but anyone else who just wants to pop down for a beer or two is welcome.

[Wivenhoe Urchin]

Good stuff, should be down there again thursday.

[Eastside Urchin]

i would like to think that thursdays could be a regular supporters evening down at the club,then again i wouldn't mind an excuse to pop down there on a friday as well!!!!

[JAY]

I might pop down there if so see you lot down there

[Fat Tom Daley]

not sure but i recon i saw some new faces down there last night (players)

[urchinman1961]

wot about the regular faces ?

[blackballed]

Yer UM, O, wally, me to name a few.............sorry you were missing...........

[Eastside Urchin]

saw pretty much all the squad from last year but we was busy with our meeting

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

So how much is membership then?

[Eastside Urchin]

This is still undecided,altough we have discussed and more or less decided what the benefits of joining will be but we also want to get some feedback from the fans so at the eastbourne game a couple of people will be out by the gates asking fans to fill in a small leaflet with some details,ie would they be interested,what do they expect,how often do they come,season ticket holders,go to away games etc etc

Once we have these details,we will sit down and come to a final decision,hopefully we can open membership up then for the first game of the season,maybe before.

It has been a long process but we all felt we were getting somewhere last night and hoepfully once the clubs full situation is sorted we can move quicker.

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Sounds good mate.

 

So, how much?

[Eastside Urchin]

What are the benefits ?

[Eastside Urchin]

We have not been able to fully work out any benefits completely as we don't know who will own the club.

It may transpire that they don't want a supporters club although i think in all honesty they would benefit it greatly.

Until new owners are in place it isn't really worth saying that members will get this or that,we have ideas in place but this is one of the stumbling blocks in why its taking a long time.

At the moment we are working on the things that the fans and comittee can do for the club like arranging events,work parties

advertising for support etc etc

The main thing is that people join the supporters club for that reason,to support the club and make a difference

Once the owners are in place we will be able to speak to them about all of the above,all we can do at the moment is try to help as much as we can

[Eastside Urchin]

Anyway,off to watch blur,westy see you in an hour or so.

if theres any more questions,i'm not being rude,i just won't be here lol

[Eastside Urchin]

Can i also say,there were some very good ideas from fans who turned up for a drink last night,especially the one regarding a mural by fingers & jordan(jordan can you e-mail it to me so i can forward it to everyone)

[Fat Tom Daley]
