I will try and get a hold of it as the Trust chair and rep sent the list to AL, think we did it about feb/march time..so TBA. I remember we said, Frizzell stand, fans bar, Leeslover suggested bringing back chaddy the owl toy for the young ones, club shop, scoreboard resolution, Gordon Lawton memorial on site somewhere. it might be a case that with a new season, new club sponsors hopefully coming on board or regular ones, that Simon Brooke will have some irons in the fire with him being at he club and all. So let me get an update before we look at good suggestions like crowd funding or twisting a relatives arm up his back to do it. it something we haven't forgotten about Fair enough. But don’t forget there will be a willingness to help or fund from some fans. We need to get on with some feel good aspects that aren’t hard to achieve.

It's nice to even see the bare bones, and of course things chance all the time. It helps if that is transparent. I appreciate all your time Tracy.

underdog Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I agree on the feel good factor. In my mind and this is what we have down coming up close season I suppose I'd call it. AGM 9th July. I am hoping we have some fellow fans wanted to find out more and may want to co-opt in so we can focus more on fan stuff, fun stuff so to speak. If we can increase volunteers we can then focus on the wish list and have working groups to do this rather than 10 of us pulling out hair trying to juggle everything from websites, social media, communication, membership fans bar, working group have a date planned next week to meet to up and exhaust the possibilities and suggestions given already membership launch. Process thrashed out, welcome stuff drafted just waiting on confirmation of a couple of benefits and website to be updated to join online ideally. trust event a fundraiser. Either meet current players, former players, new owner or possible new management team. The logistics of and availability of the the above we need to thrash out and that pesky World Cup is interfering with venue availability etc. Hope this gives you a little insight on what we are working on...if I have forgotten anything I know LL and Jorvik will hopefully add more stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy b Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Regarding the fans bar, I feel we need to think outside the box here. A flexible shared space for the community trust, fans, junior latics etc. Could open up some funding streams if we went down that route. A place which can have an income and function other than on a match day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, volunteers to actually make it happen are needed and I won't criticise anyone as my own involvement can only be small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy b Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Don't underestimate the importance of these small measures in making the experience of watching OAFC more pleasureable. BP needs to feel like a home and a place which acknowledges and reflects our character, history and what we value as a football club. These little things are important, particularly to a small club. Looking at that blank north stand depresses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that Al and club have sorted the signage out for the Frizzell stand. So it's a big thanks to them It was on the Trust top 10 wish list when Al asked about engaging more with the fans. We didn't want to give him a list that could cost oodles of money and un-achievable too. A list list that was manageable/achievable within a decent time frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
