.Gasheads, i'm asking for your help - we need feedback and assistance to help make the FFS Club a success like before, it will be a challenge as many of our loyal FFS Members contact details were lost when the official Forum closed..... .......So, Come on Gasheads, i need your feedback:
Do you like the current name/abbreviation "FFS" and the new logo?
Are you happy with the current format of fundraising i.e: we get products/services for our money and trust the club to use the "Increased revenue" how they see fit?
Do you like the new "Performance Sponsor" scheme?
Can someone set up a Facebook page when we start Season 2014-15 to help spread the word?
Will you (if able) follow on twitter: FFS Club and retweet/reply to Tweets to raise awareness?
Will you share your thoughts on threads requesting your opinions on here?
Do we need a Website?
Will you join up this season?
Can you help & Do you have any ideas to improve The FFS?
I apologise for keeping on but we need to cast the nets to see how many ex-members and hopefully some new ones we can catch! Only with your help can we make it this a success....Let's "Make A Difference"
...forget JFK, JTS say's "Ask not what your club can do for you, but what you can do for your club"  I'd like to thank Ras and his GasChat team who have been fantastic in helping us revive The FFS Club and helping hunt down previous members. Thanks guys. In Gashead respect, JTS. UTG.

Jon am happy with the club and they way it has run from the start. I love the logo and think the way the funds are spent is spot on.
Shirt sponsorship for one of the new players would be good- Jamie White or Lee Mansell would be my choices but realise these will be popular anyway.
Two or three match sponsorships during the season will also be great and maybe a youth game again which was equally as enjoyable as the first team games.
I would love to help out in someway but have no idea about Facebook or Twitter.
I'm not sure there is a need for a website at this point but those that work with them may convince me that it would help generate membership.

Totally agree with Sean.
FFS worked because it was simple. And simply beautiful.
Changing it this season would be madness. We are only just settling in to life without the OF.
A couple of games is a must and a couple of players a secondary bonus.
I like the new pay options, though will continue to use PP.

I really liked the format last season. Sometimes, too much deliberation can end up devaluing something which started out as a great product. The tweaking of payment options is a good addition though!

I'm not under any circumstances happy to handover money to the club and let them use it however they like. Can't believe I just read that after you helped organise the Wellie meetings so critical of the clubs financial management.
Why not state any money raised to be used for the community department or towards setting up a new scouting system / youth team. I feel I'm getting really mixed messages Jon, one minute you are asking me to prepare to protest in the 36th minute of the first game because of how badly the board are behaving and then the next we are fundraising for them to chuck more money into a black hole.

Dins, the suggestions are all specific, sponsoring a player is specific, sponsoring a match is specific?  |

I thought all ffs money went to the youth team ? Really suprised with this and the timing when we are trying to pressure the board.

Id wait until we get the answers we want through the wellie group process before fundraising for the guys that shafted the ffs last season.

Personally, I would keep things pretty much the same. We don't need a website, but the Facebook page will be useful. I will be supporting again this season and will spread the word as much as i can to friend's and family member's..

Dins, the FFS was and should remain separate from any pressure group in my opinion.

I just question Jons motives of on the one hand trying to co-ordinate protests against the board and make them accountable for their actions and on the other letting them get away with shafting him and others by continuing with ffs in the same format. I just wonder what the point of the meeting i attended was ??
Jon, Were you and Mark asked by the board to set up those meetings to gaige feelings? Its just odd. It does not sit right.

Idk, its possible to do both?
Jon runs FFS for us. Its a fan money raising thing?
I see it like me on this forum. I don't agree with you half the time but I hope I have always shown respect and encouraged you to post.
I could just ban you when we don't agree??
Maybe its possible to want to keep the one positive thing we had last year just as it was but to ALSO want to encourage people to want change and demand answers.

Have more say where the money goes, demand an open meeting before you send the money in. You guys have the potential to raise bucket loads at a time we are skint. That had great potential to influence better times at the top of the club. |

I just think you are being taken for mugs. The forum gave the club £1000s. The club banned the forum, deleted all your contact details and then you just go meh have some more money.
I wish you would use the potential of this thing to help improve things at the club,

If you remember we had set ourselves a target of 7500 for the youth team before the OF got pulled. I know for a fact that Jon did engage with the board to make sure our money was spent well on something specific last season. |

Maybe FFS members need to decide if the FFS should be part of or separate from any other group or agenda??
I vote separate, but that's just me.

Keep it seperate and a mile away from any protest group. If people want to protest go buy a beret and a donkey jacket.
