. I don't see any other option at the moment ... I'm not aware of a popular vote
. and if there was a popular vote - I think that is potentially more dangerous
. I'm more concerned that there have been plenty of meetings - yet our FRG representatives seem largely anonymous to the larger fan base. for example: when do they meet, when and how do we provide feedback (without looking for a 12 month old Facebook post from the club)?
CCM put out an email a while ago introducing fans to who was in the FRG.
Some fans put in their nominations to join the group, others were picked by the club due to a long relationship.
Yellow Army have posted a link to the forms a number of times.
OSC have it as a permanent link on their site.
Most of the questions coming from the meeting on Wednesday night was actually input from FRG members after they'd spoken with fans on game day, forums, or social media.
I have previously asked if the group would like a social media presence so we are more visible, I think I will push harder this time.
As a number of people are finding out, some transparency and open communication are key in dealing with a fan base.
The FRG actively advocate for fan interests to the club's and leagues management.
The other night we discussed.
Referees verbally explaining their decisions, instead of just their decisions following VAR intervention.
Long queues and catering at the ACL game.
User interface issues with the membership renewal and ticket page.
20th year anniversary celebrations, merch etc.
Inury reports of players being absent.
Men's and women's game fixture clash.
Pre game entertainment including music.
ACL kit sales, AFC Cup winners emblems.
Youtube presence of the club moving forward.
Problems with the clubs telecommunications.
Kit sizing.
Members not receiving crucial emails.
Two to three of these issues will be taken to the APL FRG for further discussion as a league wide problem.
