Re: Myfootballclub
 

I seriously doubt that this person is a member of MFC - the sentiments expressed here do not represent that views of the membership of MFC as expressed on the MFC forums. It is clearly an attempt by someone hostile to MFC to stir things in a very negative fashion. I suggest you take them with a very large spoon of salt.

Re: Myfootballclub
 

Now to address the real comments -

I agree whole-heartedly with everything you say here and so would every member of MFC.

I, for one, knew about Accrington Stanley long before the said adverts. The members of MFC are all football fans - they are interested in what is best for football and the fans who pay every week at the gates. Over the past twenty or so years football has changed dramatically. Football fans have had to sit by and watch their clubs (in most cases) being driven into debt by owners who couldn't care less about the club they own and what happens to it or the supporters. MFC is about putting football fans in control. It's about creating a situation where the fans make the decisions. It's about involving all football fans in demonstrating that supporters know just as much, if not more about running a football club than any chairman/owner. It's about involving the whole community in developing a football club. And it's about changing how people look at football, the need to no longer accept that you have to have a Roman Abramovich or Malcolm Glazier or whoever to be successful, the fact that football fans without any money can compete with the billionaires, that football is about the people who pass through the turnstiles and stand on the terraces.

The interest that some MFC members have in Accrington Stanley is not 'fake' interest. It's a genuine interest in helping any football club that we can and that need our help. MFC members are football fans. They support many different clubs but they all have a passion for the sport and they all want to see the way the sport is run changed so that football supporters have a say in their game.

The money is a very minor part of what MFC is about. MFC rules prohibit any club we purchase from entering into player (or other) contracts that are unsustainable without MFC involvement. In other words unless the money is set aside for the contracts they cannot happen. MFC has to run the club on a break-even basis. The money could contribute to transfer fees - re-developing the ground - improving training facilities - developing a youth academy - bring the club into the community - and making sure that supporters aren't fleeced by constant rises in ticket prices, merchandise etc.

I would put it this way - is your soul not big enough to take on board people who will do nothing else except operate in the best interests of the club - who will involve as many existing and new fans as possible - who will work with the local community to maximise community involvement.

in reality the £35 is coming FROM these places (and many others all over the world) not going to these places

Do Stanley fans only live in the past? Memories are important - but they are not limited. Whatever club MFC purchases - the members of MFC and the existing fans will create new memories - and hopefully memories (good and bad) that will be cherished for a long time.

As I said before I do not think that MFC will become the new owners of Stanley. The ownership, board, staff and fans at Stanley have done a magnificant job over the past period. I personally wouldn't want to disrupt this situation. I sincerely hope that Stanley continues to develop, as I do with every club that is struggling in the current situation. I want MFC to purchase a club that is in serious need of the help we can provide (both financial and organisational) that has fans in desperate need of a new situation and that has an owner who doesn't give tuppence about the club. I don't know if Stanley is one of the eight clubs that MFC are negotiating with (as I said before I think it is unlikely) but if we are - then it is because Mr Whalley feels we have something very positive to offer the club.

The memebrs of MFC are very confident that we can make a positive contribution to a club and to football in general - here's hoping time will prove us correct.

Re: Myfootballclub
 

Thanks for the response but the magic would be lost .... Gone forever hidden beneath a football gimmick that would have the media drooling & the club somehow "gone". Its soul would be gone just because the mission statement says buy a club, any club :(

The history of football is littered with magical stories & anecdotes but I'm afraid there ain't nothing magical about "well we all get together & put our £35 ........"

Re: Myfootballclub
 

This is something that has never been tried before - and only time will tell if it has 'soul' or not.

Re: Myfootballclub
 

Ah, soul! :D

Re: Myfootballclub
 

Brilliant!

That's told the ambulance chasers. :p

Re: Myfootballclub
 

You could always buy Barrow FC. Then you'd only have to pay 35 pence each.;)

This idea is perfect for a Harwood Town revival :)

Re: Myfootballclub
 

I recall asking you about supporting a football club and you said you didn't.

No disrespect but I find that strange. The growth of myfc has been based on promoting itself through foottball forums such as this. That would suggest most members already have a first club. Do you not already support a club ?

Actually I don't - most do but not all

I fail to see how anyone who doesn't actually support a club to understand what 'soul' means to a true football supporter. Anyone can watch from an armchair but the only soul there is the one you sit on :confused:

Re: Myfootballclub
 

If he doesn't get banter, he won't get soul, and most of the banter directed at this guy has gone totally over his head.

I wouldn't wish MFC on anyone, "have you tried Barrow", was a euphemism, not a suggestion. :rolleyes:

Ever heard Dylan's, "Ballad of a Thin Man", Mr. Doheochai ? :rolleyz8:
