Brighton and Hove Albion Fan Club, do we need one ?

[bhaexpress]

For some reason, maybe too much time on my hands perhaps I was just thinking about our Fan Club or lack there of. I know we used to have one but what happened to it ?

Thing is, do we need or want one ? If so what purpose would it serve ?

Whilst we have the REMF and various boards we don't really have a forum for all fans do we ? Granted we have a board who are seemingly far more in touch with the fans unlike previous administrations. I just wonder what others think. Seems that a lot of clubs don't have Official Supporters Clubs but I could be wrong.

What do you think ?

Isn't Liz Costa's lot the official supporters club?

Er, we DO have a Supporters Club.

May not be everyone's kind of organisation, as it's a bit woolly hats and quizzes on the coach, but there is one. Always has been. And there are others, like the A21 Club, and so on. Not quite sure what you mean?

Ah, I did wonder about Costa packets club. Didn't know it was still the 'Official' fan club. Clearly it's very low profile.

I sit corrected.

We've (A21 A.S.C.) been going since 1991 so not long compared to the BHAFC SC (though it seems like we've been running it forever). Are such clubs needed ? well I flippin hope so otherwise we've been wasting our time

The 325 fans on my database have thought so at one time or another. We provide organised travel to EVERY away game, figure that's reasonably important as the club don't organise their own anymore. We've raised thousands for the club and will be handing over another cheque at ten past two on Saturday to Malcolm Stuart for physiotherapy equipment. We provide sponsorship and have campaigned long and hard in battles against and in support of club boards.

I personally would have thought that EVERY club has some sort of incarnation of a supporters group or club.

I am actually rather proud of the fact that we have so many different supporters groups that the club can be associated with. Otherwise it would just get like the Premisership with all their tickets and travel packages ONLY available through their agents which means paying through the nose and no vareity of product
