actively have a presence within the club, i would say at least 50% of the people who come to Stanley don't know what the OSC does and why it exists except for a end of season do every season

Maybe Pendle Red has the answer ?

"The Supporters Club" should be exactly what it says but to achieve that we need more people to join and become involved whether that's just by suggesting ideas or actually helping out,

There are a lot of good schemes for money raising, the trick is it must have the appeal to attract people in the first place but more importantly the backing of the Supporters to keep it moving forward and make it successful to enable it to make a real difference.

1) Set out a target at the beginning of the Season of how much is aimed to be raised and for what which is already in the process of being done, then plan a series of Events throughout the Season to raise the amounts but these need to have enough appeal to keep raising the amounts.

2) Set up a working group between the Club & Supporters to keep the dialect flowing, keeping ideas fresh and make more use of the Media that is available to keep everyone up to date.
To achieve any of this more people need to become involved

So get your ideas posted up on here, become a member of the Supporters Club and Help make a difference:)
 
I read about that scheme when we played them earlier in the season. It is a cracking idea but it takes some real organising and pulling together. They also have another few schemes which include

the google search button on one of their Supporters sites - it pays money every time you use it to search for something (open to abuse although it is monitored)

massive backing from the town of Brentford with regards to vouchers and discounts when used through the Website. Buy your car/insurance/cat food or whatever online through the site and you get a discount and the website gets the same.

some other scheme that has Gold silver and bronze levels or something. For each level you pay a fiver or whatever a month and it entitles you to various benefits. I can't remember the exact details but it had hundreds of members.


Now tally any of that to efforts made by our Football Club itself with tregards to the Legends package etc. Despite being promoted at many different opportunities it has never really took off in the way the club would have imagined. Not having any of the functions promised will not have helped membership on that but you get the point.

There has to be a simple but easy way of getting the attention of the public of Hyndburn - quite what that is I don't know.
 
As with all clubs of any organisation, you have to make the folk not in the club feel they missing something if they ain't in it....

Loads ain't got a clue who or what you are.... Unless you are on here or in the Oaklea you'd miss what was happening. (Not a dig - an observation). You need presence in the Main Stand & Whinney Hill, someone spreading the word for you. That type of person is the only people you will get to come to a formal meeting
