Port Vale supporters club Why don't more Attend

[Stone Valiant]

I would have been there but for one simple reason...I'm ill!

[Spunk Trumpet]

Are you ****ed off that these people have been very instrumental in the recent changes.Recent changes that have cut the board down in size.Has got rid of the like's of Jackson,Bratt and Oliver?

 

I think you will find that most of these people are willing to give the new set a chance.

 

Why would i be ****** off at the people who were instrumental in change?

I flew over last year for 3 protests when quite frankly i could have been doing better things.

 

My point about being ****** off about the politics of the last 12 months is that we now have change, maybe not what we wanted but its change.

The majority, like myself are now drained from that and unfortunately, like Mellor says, there is no only a hardcore 20 or so who have always attended who are left.

 

Most, now want to concentrate on other aspects of their life instead of sitting in Tommys on a Tuesday night discussing the ins and outs of PVFC.

 

I dont have a problem with the SC but i can see how others would think it is a problem causer group than a problem solver.

Mellor is spot on. Also, if there's no guest speaker then make it on matchday when people are more likely to attend.

In which case, it would need to be in the Leopard so we could have some decent ale.

Back room, 1pm on a matchday, perfect time. Bet you'd double the attendance at least.

There are a lot of Vale fans who are still too busy dreaming up conspiracy theories, fueled by a minority who themselves have a hidden agenda to undermine the good things that are happening at Vale Park.

 

What was the meeting like?

[the old bycars tea bar]

didn't attend due to work, would normally have been there when possible

[Simcity47]

Main reason for non attendence by people is apathy.

[zander]

I'm in the apathy camp,see you all in 11 months time.sad but true I feel.

I wanted to go but just wasn't well enough. I'm not sure I fancy going out at night on my own to be honest. Might sound a bit stupid but that's the way I feel. I think that Mark may have a point about making the meetings on a Saturday before the game.

 

I'd love to be involved with it but just could't commit as I never really know from day to day how well i'm gonna be, especially in the winter months. That's really wouldn't be much use to anyone. :(

What's the point?..

How would that work to hold an organised meeting, everyone drinking, talking about the match either before or after?

I attended last night's Supporters club meeting and must admit that I and others were more than a little disappointed at the turnout.:(

A genuine question why do so few seem to be interested in the club's supporters club?. If you give have a reason please help the committee by explaining why so few seem interested.

I and others really believe that a strong supporters club is vital to a successful team. So come on folks help us to help you get a fanbased club to be proud of.:D

 

I was going to join recently when the link on how to was posted on here but to be honest the way Dave Felstead was treated (whatever the rights and wrongs of both sides of the argument) has put me off completely.

 

I would also imagine the relatively short notice period of less than a week (when I saw it on here) didn't give people time to schedule plans. It would be advisable I would have thought to produce an annual schedule of meetings (monthly or bi-monthly) in order that people could plan ahead.

Good shout and worth a try I would have thought.

Well I reckon it could. It would be the job of the chair to shut everyone up and get on with the meeting. I honestly do think it''d be worth a try.

 

Say you'll be opening the meeting at 1 so everyone to be seated by then with a drink obviously! ;) Open the meeting and continue with business as usual. You'd need to have a strong chair to keep the meeting on track but I bet you'd get loads more people interested.
