Supporters Clubs

Iâ€™m currently a Red Member who travels over a couple of times a year, we generally watch the fixture list and pick a game we think will be relatively easy to get tickets to, then book our flights a couple of months in advance, before the tickets go on sale. This generally works quiet well for us but we have been stung for the flights a couple of times trying to go to away games.

Iâ€™m considering joining a Supporters Club in the hope of getting some tickets for Cat A and away games as apart from the big games tickets for Ashburton can be got fairly easily. The only problem is that there is no club where I live and Iâ€™m wondering are these clubs made up by a gang who look after each other.

Has anyone here experience of being in a Supporters Club nowhere near where they live? Or has anyone here set up their own local club?

Any help with this would be great, thanks.

How do ye fair out for the Cat A games Rebel and do ye operate on a first to request tickets, first to receive basis? I've e-mailed the club requesting info about setting up a Supporters Club, they promptly replied asking where we were and when I replied they decided to ignore me

Does anyone have any idea how many members would be needed to set up a new club.

Would that be the Rampwick Hospital Branch in Yorkshire?

I'm sure there are enough Red Members on here - who would like to be part of a Supporters Club - maybe one that can have members from 'anywhere' - just meet at the ground/s and take it from there - also another way of regular faces and More NOISE!

I'd be intereted in that....Ilive in Dublin and have travelled over to some games on my todd..in the same position, can get tickets/flight etc for games outsdie the big 4 handy enough but after that.....I think there was a supporters club in Longford but I e-mail the rep (Im originally from there) but got no reply. Think the details were on the list on the official club site but havent checked it lately

a forum supporters club would be a good idea, i have no bother getting tickets as i have a silver card but usually end up going to matches on my own because no others gooners that i know can get any for the big games, i enjoy the games but not much craic on your own when nobody around you makes any effort to sing or have a bit of banter with away fans, to be honest the atmosphere in the ground for most games is dire

That IS so True......I used to go to games with my brother but he passed away, and the times I've been the only one shouting/chanting etc...

I'm 'up to ears' in end of term reports at the mo...but will try and sort something....I will contact the club and get all the necessary etc, but would also appreciate any advice on setting up a Supporters Club from those far wiser on Online Gooner

COME ON YOU MIGHTY GUNNERS
