Reading more quite shocking stuff about the Whitworths twats on twitter, chants regarding Dale which thankfully I didn't hear and for anyone who might have been nearby, did they seriously urinate in our stand? :shock:

If they were really reserve team players, is there anything we can do about it like complain to the league, cause this is disgraceful, they surely can't get away with this (and probably repeat their actions next week).

Our supporters were absolutely impeccably behaved tonight, in fact one or two in particular deserve a medal for some of the abuse that they took without rising to it.

We are very lucky to have fans who care about our club rather than mindless morons intent only on trying to start fights.

I'd like to back that up too, i know some have had a bit of stick this season, but last night everyone was impeccably behaved in very difficult circumstances.

I'm posting this on here for all fans to debate on but it may be something the members/ board need to take up on the offy site for further clarification/ voting.
If we do have this policy of supporting "think before you chant" and it's not working with signs then it seems to me we're going to be needing a more pro-active approach. If you as a fan are upset by what is being sung, get out your mobile phone and use either the camcorder or sound recorder - don't leave it for someone else who is after all a volunteer. Take it to the fans representative or a committee member during the game and request that the AFCRDTV is used to identify those people (it only needs to be a quick zoom in, not detailed nor distracting from the match recording). This can then be used if the police are required, all we'll need is a few signs to warn people that we will not tolerate this.
Discuss. (maybe move this to the other thread ?)

Good to see the team sheets idea come to fruition last night. Did they sell well? I got one.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

We'd actually planned to do the Team Sheets from the start of the season, as I'd done a template last year, but we hadn't finished the onsite Office as yet. We have 2 printers to use for these as well once that is up and running so we can effectively print on demand (or at least print a few more as we need them).

We sold 9 last night.

I think you must be referring to how many were sold in one of the locations - as we sold a lot more than that in total. We also gave them to the sponsors / guests, which I think makes a good impression. It's not going to be a big money-spinning exercise, but it will cover its costs even with the free ones, and hopefully add something to club funds.

I was going by the money I was handed for Banking. Have PM'd you anyway.
