Away coaches.

TIY needs a leader to step forward and take the reins.

[TrickyDicky]

Maybe it’s time for a new independent Supporters Club to be set up , to wipe the slate clean from all previous encumbrances and baggage and use this to be promote some fund raising to help fund primarily Official Supporters Club travel, where members are accountable for their behaviour and maybe pet projects to help benefit the Club.
I noticed Spennymoor do it selling spot the balls in the bar, raffles etc just enough to help subsidise travel in the main and encourage a bit more esprit de corps amongst official members to Represent the club in a civilised manner on away trips . I personally thought TIY have been a real asset to the club and it’s seemingly loss of popularity has evolved over the last few years for whatever reasons, pandemic, ceasing involvement for away travel , sad… . I guess the main problem is getting new responsible committed keen supporters to step up to the plate and they seem to be very few and far between at our club unfortunately. Well done Dan btw My thoughts are for a club with a relatively small support base there are too many historical burnt bridges and football politics that fester below the surface, which prejudice any new initiatives. You’ve only got to read some of the knobs on here (most who don’t go) almost willing the team to fail so they can post their self indugent “told you so yawnfests”.

How do you lead something that doesn’t exist though? TIY appears to have folded in all but name.

I thought they had to be elected by members though?

I’d point out that the once-in-a-lifetime event of COVID coincides with the demise of TIY. You couldn’t really meet in person for a year but apart from a few comments that seems to have been overlooked.
However, whatever the current formation of TIY is some kind of acknowledgment of the situation would be welcome. If it needs reinvigorating or reforming it would be good to know as I’m sure people would step forward to do so.

Good ideas for fund raising Maghull do a predict the scores in a number of premier league matches just a simple on paper prediction in the clubhouse on match day and the rollovers quickly total several hundred pounds which encourages more participation [just a suggestion of course ] cheers mick.

That’s something that can follow, once the organisation is lifted from dormancy.

It just needs (one or preferably more) committed individuals to get involved.

I feel sure that the national organisation would offer support and guidance.

Rather than having too many away travel threads, just thought I'd put it in this one - apologies if it looks like I'm hijacking it!

But, as a heads up, services on Sat 20th Aug (Alfreton (a)) will be very limited and likely non existent post match due to train strike action.

Further, some operators are operating no service (Avanti) on Sat 13th Aug which is the Peterborough Sports home game. Merseyrail and Northern are unaffected on that day.

This is why I’m really trying to sort something out for this date. Because I can’t drive that far lol

Yeah appreciate that - good luck with it! As always, the efforts are appreciated.

Surprised no comments on here following announcement at the game on Saturday that coaches are on again well done on sorting it. Back to normal hopefully but any form of transport is better than none cheers mick.

Of no consequence to me but it is good to know there are still people who think enough of the club and their fellow supporters to put in all the effort that is needed to organise this. Massive respect to all involved in organising it (and all that use it). Hope to see you all soon

Details coming this afternoon regarding Alfreton on our socials...

[PortDan1121]

As many of you may have seen, yesterday we posted our coach details for Alfreton away on Saturday. We have managed to arrange away travel for the 22/23 season and hopefully beyond with the help of Southport FC vice president, Andrei Le Roi who has facilitated this new contract with Coastal Coaches, based in Warton

Please see the Alfreton away travel thread to book on.
Please also visit The Yellow Army's social media for our new code of conduct for this season.

Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows what is happening about the coaches to away matches for this coming season? I'm getting a bit worried as the new season starts a week on Saturday and nothing yet has been done about it.

Phil,

The coaches are back up and running I looking forward to see you on the coach Saturday
