The way to get their attention

[HashKads]

If this is going to be succesful, it will take a lot of work. It wont all happen overnight, although it does feel like everything is happening very quickly, eventhough we've only just got started.

A website will be paramount, Facebook and Twitter just wont be enough. We could get a free hosted site or pay for the domain ourselves. Not entirely sure how much it'll cost, but if we a few or all of us chipped in, it'll be fairly cheap to run and maintain.

We need someone to write up a little paragraph, just saying what this is all about. Personally, after reading alot of comments, I think Quartz would be great for this. Something short but puts the campaigns point across.

We can then start to generate followers on both the facebook page and the twitter. Get tweeting the Journo's, John Cross at the mirror is a gooner. Once we've got a bit of an audience, we can really start getting our points across and hopefully the club will see and take note.

Very good basis, I just checked and the to register the domains arsenalfcnotplc.com and co.uk would only cost £15 but then obviously the hosting costs etc.

I am fully committed to the cause so count me in.

Shall I make the facebook one as a group?

Yeah before some bastard takes the idea.

Make it as a fan page instead. Then we can start something so we can start getting peoples email address's.

Is this alright? Nothing written up yet though.

Yeah but the name of the fan page I disagree with. It should be Victory Through Harmony. I think Arsenal FC not Arsenal PLC is ok, but as I keeping saying this should be about bringing people together and trying to get our club back. I personally feel you don't get that from the other name.

Same here. Isn't there a way that the facebook and twitter accounts can be linked up?

Yeah, we can add to it when things are clearer.

Originally thought this would be a good idea but as Reg said we should wait till we've got it altogether and especially not while we're still in the title race. It would make us look a bit spoilt and stupid imo.

As SteveO and others have said, keep it three aims at most. Really simple.

This is my effort, feel free to use it.

Dear Arsenal fans,

Arsene Wenger has brought us great success as manager. He has not only won trophies, but revolutionised the culture of football, and produced teams who played some of the most attractive football the world has seen.

We moved stadium in 2006, and we fans understand that the move resulted in sensible structured debt. Even so, we have not won a trophy since 2005. The squad is close to the title, but every season it gets "So near yet so far". Many fans believe that the purchase of three quality players could take the squad to great football success, without breaking the bank. For successive transfer windows our hopes have been raised high, but never met. It is crushing us as fans, and we have to do something about it.

So we have formed this group with the following aims:

1.) To encourage the manger to bring in two or three quality players who can make us genuinely competitive for the league title.
We can see the club has money in the bank, and we strongly believe it needs to be spent on players.

2.) To encourage the manger to review his coaching structure, especially defence. On too many occasions we have failed to hold onto a lead.

3.) To be a bit harsher when rewarding players with new contracts. If players in their mid twenties are consistently under performing, then consideration should be made to sell them or to introduce a salary of lower wages but higher bonuses, to give the players greater incentive to win.

Yeah we can sync them I think we'll have to put all the same email address. I'll check in a bit.

Has anyone got experience in this field? Its important to get the domain quickly before someone nicks it or it becomes more valuable.

I love it, I log off for a few hours and FB's idea has taken off big style

Ok, not sure how to change the email, or if you're on facebook I'll add you as an admin?

We would just need a site as word press site and we can embed twitter feed, facebook page, calendar of fixtures.

It's great to see fans organising themselves. However, a lot of what your suggesting has slowly been building momentum. It's been a year since this was set up. It has a web presence, twitter, facebook, etc. John Cross has been following us and there is talk of an article.

We even have a bank account which has been used to produce a banner.

It's all down to timing. It ain't about wearing a scarf, it's about like-minded.

The banner contains the message LET'S KICK GREED OUT OF FOOTBALL.

Rather than a number of groups setting up, why not take another look.

Some of you may ask why they haven't heard a lot from the BSM recently. Well the simple answer is it takes up a lot of time, and in our case, our own money.

There's always many pleading for something to be done but when it comes down to it they rearely put themselves up for it.

I suggest you take another look so that we're not duplicsating our efforts. You may find that the foundations that have been built are a suitable platform to take to the next level.
