RiddingsRam Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Great idea ! The whole fan committee! Gives us a voice and a close relationship with the club. Especially from this forum , which in the whole I thinks great ! Not being up anyone's arse here , but if US as a forum gets a seat or two I think it should be solely down to @David to decide who he wants to represent us !

I wonder if they cover communicating unecessary or unkind messages. Well if a certain person continually posts messages aimed at a specific person that could fall under harassment.

As I'm not a regular match-goer, I haven't a clue, although I assume it's the name of a chant. Would appreciate a video although text along the lines of "stand next to me nanananananadadadadadadananananana" will probably do, I can imagine the rest. Or it's the stand next to the bit that he watches the match from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Good luck however you do it. If it goes to a vote I'd love to see the candidate list. As for me I'm a sheep. No good at that kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that 4-6 months is a better meeting time as there may be committee suggestions that need monitoring throughout a season for feedback. For example when Nick and the guys requested the crowd seating arrangements change, catering changes, explanations of general club infrastructure changes when it comes to philosophy etc. So a meeting at the season's beginning, middle in January and end of season/before pre-season seems a good way to go. I think 2-3 members a time is a good idea as well as trying to vary the ages included. My needs are different to an old codger like @Boycie for example. Different opinions also useful, there'd be little point in my going with @Alpha for example as I agree with almost everything he posts, to the point where if he posts then often I'd just be repeating so don't bother. It would be a waste of a spot at the forum. So trying to manage that kind of thing too seems like a good idea. Not being funny, but you don't go to the games, so why would you want to be part of a fan committee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way does not getting to matches frequently affect a fan's input, barring some obvious lacking knowledge of the football played? I don't think this should be reserved for fans who go to every game, due to TV games and today's fame I've caught over half of our matches this season total if we include pre season.

I think they'll want fan feedback regards the match experience, I doubt they'll want your, sorry, their advice on their knowledge of football. personally I do think it should be someone who goes regular.

Day Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Great to see so many positive replies, I did have concerns getting involved after the response to our last Moor Farm visit and was expecting more people against the idea than we have had so far. As for putting your own or other members name in or out of the hat it really is too early for this, we meet with the club again in 6 weeks to further discuss setting up the committee, it maybe decided that the group is reduced and we may not have a seat or that rotation isn't the best way forward or even more groups/organisations are brought in. 8 groups are involved at the moment plus the club will also have their own ideas on how it will work, not just this forum. Suggestions on how you would like to see it work are more helpful at this stage, the more input the better as I can take these to the table and put forward.

therams69 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Top night I thought. One thing for me is that the pub tours are hopefully coming back. I made a point that Sam and JV had worked very hard over the last few years liaising with fans including the good old days of them in with the fans at Charlton away some years ago. For me I would like to see this again. They are 2 top guys, comfortable having a beer and a chat and for me that is all good with any kind of manager in any job. I also said to Mel he should come up to the SS one game and I genuinely believe they all will. Like it has already been mentioned great that so many different groups with different thoughts were at the table. I think it pretty much represents all Derby fans so for me I would say it would be best to keep the same faces and issues raised through them faces that attend. All in all it seems the way forward.
