Supporters club reincarnation version 666
- Thread starter DevilDom
- Start date
So if you want to be involved with the "Stakeholders" Group you have to be involved in the "Official" supporters Club....is that right?
Personally, I can't see what is wrong with an "unofficial" Supporters Group. As long as that group is for the benefit of Devils fans who want to support the team and the organisation as a whole.....what is the problem?
Let PR have his "official" Supporters club and stakeholders group. So he wouldn't recognise an unofficial SC? More fool him IMHO.
He will probably find that the "unofficial" SC is better run than his own (years of experience), have umpteen years of contacts with other teams and would be of more benefit to the organisation than any new SC.
Just my humble opinion of course.
Ultimately....if PR does not recognise an "unofficial" SC...who is it actually harming?

No.
We (The-Inferno) are represented at the stakeholders group but we have nothing to do with the supporters club.
I'd have though it is the same for Red Army Travel and several of the other people who attend the stakeholder meetings.
The new supporters club has its own committee and people who are organising events across the summer and beyond. I can't find the link on the Devils website for who those people are, but a quick search through the press releases should dig the article up.

OK...thanks James
I think I can see where this is going now.
Just interesting that there will soon be a meeting of the now "unofficial" supporters group due in main to the onerous nature of the terms and conditions they would have had to agree to for them to have become the Devils' "official" supporters club and therefore become part of the stakeholders group.
I'd love to know what those T&C's were?
Think I'll leave it there though and concentrate on the "on ice" issues. I'm sure all parties have the best interest of the Devils at heart. Would be good to be able to bring all parties together in a manner that is acceptable to all. Seems from the posts on this thread that is unlikely though.

Okay, I think I understand this now...(or could be completely wrong :lol: )
There is an 'Official' Red army supporters club (or will be soon) that is okayed by PR and has a voice at the stakeholders meeting .
There is an 'unofficial' Red army supporters club that didn't agree with PR's terms so are now unofficial.
The Inferno is not attached to either supporters club and has a representative at the stakeholders meeting.
Red army travel is independent to anything ? or is it attached to the unofficial SC or will be attached to the new official SC ??
My own personal view is I don't intend joining any SC whatsoever but just wanted to know how it all works. Is the above right/wrong/pleading the 5th ??

I doubt that very much, especially as some of the people in the new Supporters Club already have lots of experience?
If two supporters clubs events are arranged and one will have players attending and one won't - which do you think will be more popular?
Perhaps I'm missing something but I really don't get what some people are getting so worked up over. Certain people are so used to controversy they are desperate to find something to worry/moan about every summer.
