So, my other club, that Ilove and support with passion has instigated a new program.
I wanted to post it here, to see if maybe this might, one day, be an objective for Toronto FC supporters, including RPBs and the other groups. Or if it has been talked about, where are those talks and if this kind of thing has / will happen. I know that an MLS wide commitee has been discussed as well. . . . which Ihope gets steam and gets adopted.
I am sure we could organize a scheduled diaglouge each season, maybe even more than once a season to help improve our club. The game day experience, and common issues and objectives. Even a scheduled day to submit written suggestions, cudos and comments would be great.
(Although I fear it could degrade to a festivus type of greivance airing and feats of strength, knowing the hardline of antogonism and discontent many supporters seem to indulge in)
This is an excerpt from the site
The Supporters' Committee will consist of 18 fans who will represent all of the major stakeholder groups amongst our supporter base.
The Supporters' Committee will meet four times a season with senior Club staff - the owners will be present for at least two of the meetings - to discuss the issues and ask the questions that most affect them and the fans they represent.
The minutes of each meeting will be published online and in print for all of our supporters to read within 48 hours of the meeting ending.
The initial aims
1. To establish a forum for supporters to communicate directly with the Club in a structured manner
2. To help the Club better understand the issues that most affect and concern our fans
3. To give the Club an opportunity to explain the thinking behind key decisions
4. To enable fans to play a key role in helping the Club achieve success on and off the pitch
5. To provide a greater degree of transparency about key issues that affect supporters
The long term aims
1. To enhance the relationship between the Football Club and our supporters
2. To help ensure fans feel their loyalty is valued by the Football Club
3. To help improve the Football Club for the benefit of all supporters
