Reading Rebel Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I see the Supporters Trust has almost achieved 200 followers. I don't know how many people have joined the Trust to date but for only £10 (minimum) for the season I really can't see why we cannot get somewhere near 200 members for the Trust.

3spirit Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I expect loads will jump on the bandwagon, if/when we get a new ground. Think there was 150 last season, which I think is good, considering the size of our average attendance. This season so far, 32 have joined [Wealdstone friendly].

A Rebel and a Saint Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We had 106 members last season, which is the first time the 100 barrier has been broken in probably 10 years. Obviously given how easy it can be to get random followers twitter numbers is not really representitive of much. Only 70 people like the page on Facebook. I agree RR people should join the Trust if they are at all associated with the Club. One of the main concerns raised to me when I joined the board was that the person in question did not see the Trust doing things beyond being on the shirt. With the new website and Twitter & Facebook pages, I believe that I've improved that dramatically over the last year. For those not convinced, don't forget the Trust has done plenty: Agreed a £3k back of the shirts sponsor deal with the club Started sponsoring Rebels Radio and provided a web page for it Linked with the prediction league and provided a web page for it Been heavily involved with the promotion activities in Slough and a couple of local primary schools, with another one to come at the polish club next month Created a method of joining online via PayPal (you don't need a PayPal account to join) And of course it provides most of the match day volunteers from the Trust board members and all the away travel for supporters. So why not join? It's only £10 a year. Shameless plug over. I'd be genuinely interested to hear why someone wouldn't join the Trust (beyond "I can't afford it") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3spirit Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Sorry ARAAS, thought we had reached the 150 mark. Still, least the Trust is growing. I think some supporters think that they can't see the point or that they think it's too cliquey or that they only want to be watching the football and can't be bothered with events,community stuff etc. Fact of life is most people are too busy to do anything ! I can't profess myself to being an active member of the Trust [yet? or maybe never !] but I do appreciate the efforts of all that do, who do it for the cause. Where would the club be without it's stalwarts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Rebel and a Saint Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm not asking everyone to be active members, but by paying the £10, even if you do nothing else, it helps towards the cost of away travel (sometimes), the events like the prize draws and presentations and the community events, and all the support the club gets from the trust.

GlenSTFC Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Well there you go 3spirit now there's absolutely no excuse not to hand over a mere £10 and for that you help the club out without having to commit to any helping or attending any events! I think any fan who can attend the majority of games can afford £10, those who say they can't I'm afraid is an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'll admit that I don't get involved with all the things the Trust do but I pay my annual subscription of £10 because I see the importance of having a strong Supporters Trust and all the good things that they do for the club and us supporters.

epicrebel Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 On top of what Dan has said Also there is the insurance cover that comes with it. and on top of all this when we do move it'll take money to do that, along with equipment that'll have to be got for the new ground. WE NEED PEOPLE TO JOIN NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO PLEASE Join the Trust all the £10's (and £5's) will help. With the Junior membership not only do they get the coach discount they get a Slough Town card on their Birthday and Christmas. And if funds allow (and Pepe) an Easter Egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
