I have more than a passing interest in this thread. Although I live in Bristol, I travel to as many home and away games as I can and I want to do as much as possible to help the club. I sponsored 2 players' shirts last year (one never arrived and had to be replaced with something else) and have sponsored another 2 this year. I wanted to join the Supporters Club but waited until the new committee was sorted. I sent off my cheque almost a month ago, since when there has been a deathly silence.

I have a Stanley sticker in my car and never a day goes by without someone asking me about the club. There is huge interest in the club and its name but I feel that there is a distinct lack of marketing and commercial acumen to capitalise on this. If I give details of the club or the Supporters Club to those who ask me, what response will they get?

I hate to say this because I don't really want to be critical, but I sometimes have a feeling that too much effort is put into dealing with message board issues than into the real issues.
