Re: Congratulations
OSC doesn't have enough active members to run half the things we'd like to but beyond that .......
OSC ran the Rochdale buses that caused a lot of friction at the club despite the obvious need for it to have been done and the overwhelming success of it. Numerous people at the club had their noses put out of joint over the trip which is why I didn't run it again for Bury, Rochdale, Macc, Stockport and Morecambe. As far as away travel is concerned at the moment we can't run an Official travel until Fraser Eagle are not the official sponsor etc .... personally I'd prefer it if they just carried on doing what they do now but drop the prices for the local games cos a tenner is way way too much for Bury and Rochdale. If they did it at a fiver they'd fill 10 coaches (with a bit of a push) top each. Its got to make more profit than one coach with 10 people on? Those kind of trips are what make people want to go to more away games. Sitting on a half empty (or half full) coach doesn't inspire you to go again.
Any road beyond that I want to push for OSC funding to provide a couple of minibuses to bring people in from other areas. We have a few fans in Darwen, Pendle and Clitheroe, each one of those groups should be encouraged to travel together and bring a friend or two. £30 out of OSC funds to bring in ten people paying £13 + beer/food money when they get here has got to be a no brainer?
There are a thousand and one things we could spend money on but its got to be worthwhile.
