Official Supporters Club 22:54 - Jun 1 with 1336 views | Zx1988 | What's in it for those who run the show over there? They seem all but silent these days in terms of speaking up for fans. Is it that the senior positions are appointed/signed off on by the club, so there's no sense in rocking the boat? |  |

Bit of tutting occasionally if a supporter's coach made a stop picking up people en route as we found out getting picked up at Histon on the way to Liverpool away in the League Cup 93ish. |  | |  |
Official Supporters Club on 08:30 - Jun 2 with 886 views | trncbluearmy | use to be quite active on the social side years ago, football tournaments at the Royal London Club, Charity Pool Marathons, pool matches against Col U supporters club, a glorious football victory at Trowse against the scum, Branch meets and competition's but never really any good at representing supporters concerns. Could have recently got involved with seat move, Dividend steal and liaising with Blue Action Never having a permanent base/meeting place has not helped. Something they could push for with all the changes at FPR and Playford Road? [Post edited 2 Jun 8:30]

That's what baffles me about them - why would you put yourself forward for a senior position in the SC if you don't give a damn about representing your fellow fans? Someone asked on their Facebook group the other week about their stance towards the various cock-ups of previous seasons. They got a brief 'we'll be mentioning it to the club' response, with the thread then being locked to any further participation... *rolls eyes* |  |

Official Supporters Club on 09:13 - Jun 2 with 754 views | The_Flashing_Smile | Seems utterly pointless to me. Aren't we all members by virtue of being season ticket holders? I've never heard a peep out of them. TWTD is more a supporter's club as far as I can see, and Phil and Stuart Watson seem to be the only ones asking slightly probing questions. |  |

They’re always at the Fanzone before home games. But yeah, they don’t want to ask anything of the club. |  |

Everything is sort of covered. They said and did nothing during the banter era. |  |

The only bit that isn't covered in that assessment is fan representation. Precisely what a Supporters' Club/Association should be there to do... |  |

Agree but they've never really sought to proactively do this so blue action do it when there is a problem or massive issue and TWTD ends up carrying a bit of weight too on the general mood of the room. I do a bit of volunteering for a not for profit in a governance capacity and this type of organisation always seems to get lost in procedure not actually doing stuff core to its purpose. |  |

That certainly wasn't true during Mark Ramsey's time as chair, he did an awful lot on that front, not least getting the compensation for season tickets increased following the Covid season. |  | |  |
