Shrewsbury Town Supporters Parliament, Super Blues and Supporters Trust Statement
The importance of the last 8 games of this season can’t be underestimated. As supporters groups today we unite and put out a call to arms for all supporters though out the county to get behind the club and back the lads onto glory.
Our club has come such a long way since our relegation last season by bringing in Micky and Matt Williams who with the full backing of our chairman have stuck to their word and provided a team we can be proud of on the field and a club who once again are moving in the right direction.
Promotion is not just achieved on the field, there are other areas that contribute to it, non more so than the supporters and the atmosphere inside the stadium. So It’s now our turn to do our part.
We encourage everyone to back the ‘sing your hearts out campaign’ and create an atmosphere within the ground to spur the lads on. We want a sea of blue and amber, so why not bring a friend along ? Let's fill the stadium, let's hear those drums and get the Meadow rocking for the season's run in.
These last few games are going to be tense but we as fans must now step up, like the team has this season. Let's unite to achieve our goal (or goals !!).
As a club we win together, we lose together so let's get promoted together and let's celebrate together.
Floreat Salopia

See no need for this statement, action would be better, get some posters up around the town, more radio and SS coverage, discuss with the club some better deals more like Bury's 3 home tickets for £30, perhaps subsidised away travel, pre match entertainment including 'fan zone' style facilities pre-match... Stop the clubs negative reports re poor support... (I've spoken to many at Wycombe and can't find anyone who heard booing, so if it happened it was limited to 1 or 2 yet it makes headlines in the SS!)..... Oh and let the club know it still says the next home match is Oxford!

Oh and let the club know it still says the next home match is Oxford! I agree. Bury have issued a similar rallying call and have also backed it up with the very attractive ticket incentive (although it excludes our game). I've already coerced 4 friends to come with me to the Bury game for example, I'm sure we will all do our part to get behind the team over the next 8 games, we certainly don't need to be asked!

Damned if they do and damned if they don't!!! A reminder to us all surely does no harm?

Your right, no harm done and meant with the best intentions but each of the supporter groups and the club need to do something to achieve the common goal.... Making what ammounts to a 'press release' isn't really going to get the fans singing and dancing. Get some propper drummers in to say do a 'workshop' with interested fans... Get the pre match build up and music changed to gee up the fans.... DO NOT allow away fans to bring in a drum ( to make it fair make a rule that any instruments have to be presented to the safety officer 24 hours before the game) Have the club ever thought of an advert on the local commercial radio ( sure the Superblues would pay) Make the Good Friday game ST holders bring a friend for a fiver and sit where you like.... OMG someones sitting in my seat I can hear it now.....

Funny how through the shambles of last season the club didn't issue a word about the fans concerns. This season a tiny bit of grumbling at a couple of games and the club goes all sulky and seems to think no one loves them and makes a big song and dance about it
Seasons going fine, couple of wins and a few goals over the next few games and everything will be fine. Concentrate on the stuff on the pitch and the rest will sort it self out

I didn't see anything in the statement about tackling. In the Cambridge and Oxford home games we seemed very short in that department. I'm sure if we can help out with that , we will.

Guys before it gets silly we are talking to the club about what we can now do to get things going for the last few games.
The next home game I believe is the CST day and we are trying to setup a retro day again for Exeter as it was a success last season.
I'm open to ideas chuck them this way and let's see if we can get a few off the ground!! This isn't a hollow statement but we need everyone behind us.

Concentrate on the stuff on the pitch and the rest will sort it self out I can see from you are coming from and I've been annoyed with the club at times and their attitude towards the fans but I can understand where they are coming from here. Lets not forget that Mickey, Jayson and most of the players were not here last season so what happened then is irrelevant to them. From their perspective they turned up when the club was at a low point, they have generally had a good season and are so close to promotion yet some fans are moaning at them, is that going to help them get over the finishing line? I'd also say its not a tiny bit of grumbling, in recent weeks there has been plenty of boos, moans, groans, abuse and topped by ironic cheers aimed at someone who has been a very good performer for most of the season. Yes performances havent been great and results have been mixed in recent weeks but we are still in a very favourable position, so again how is all of that going to help? Finally, if the people who are moaning were so quick to sing, support and heap praise on players when things are going well then I might be more sympathetic to the groans but we both know that isnt the case, most will sit in silence and only make a noise to show their displeasure, sadly has always been the case. Anyway, glad to see the supporters groups trying to do something

Take the point that the manager and players weren't here last season, but they have been in football for some time and seem rather easily offended when critical responses take place - be that booing, Stuart Dunn's post match interviews or what they have read on websites
There is a certain element of monkey see monkey do to all this. Those that have moaned now know it gets a reaction so will no doubt do it again if things aren't going to well at the next home game. Ignoring it and focusing on the fans that got behind the team would have been a better idea.
Also the last week has shown is a rather weak underbelly in the side and manager which opposition managers will no doubt look to work on in the remaining games of the season. Not lobbing the ball into touch four times in a row would probably help too
If the players and manager can't cope with pressure being near the top of league two god knows how they are going to cope in league one where the chances are we'll lose more games than we win.

I would argue the last week shows a high degree of mental strength rather than a weak underbelly. To dig out a crucial win when you aren't playing well, fall down to ten men and some of your 'support' appears to to desert you at the most crucial stage of the season despite being second in the league is very impressive. They have coped with the pressure so far look at the league table. I just find it amazing that many fans seem to think adding to that pressure is a good thing.

I certainly don't see anything wrong with a rallying call to the supporters. We certainly do need to get behind the lads and help them get over the line. The concern I have is that we seem to be going around in circles, having these same discussions again and again. Which means nothing seems to change. Not a criticism of anyone, easy for me to sit here and have a grumble...just that I think its so important that the Meadow has a decent atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. And from my visits to the Meadow that's sadly missing.

First of all, I don't recall hearing any booing at Wycombe, and if there was any it could only have been 1 or 2 as suggested by davycrockett! Also it has been whipped up to be something major by those who have their own agenda for media exposure!
for home games I would suggest the club, where possible don't give away fans the whole of the away end and if there are say only 400 odd put them in the corner of the stand close to the Control box. keep them away from behind the goal if possible.
I am sure the club can get posters made up and the supporters groups help to put them up round the Town.
Finally, any chance Ryan can stop playing the same old stuff (apart from CUIYC)!

I don't think the music is anything to do with Ryan... I've head we have a media manager, although you never hear from him, who fancies himself as a DJ who may be responsible for the crap played pre game, so perhaps a little pressure from 'those with MW's ear' to get this changed PDQ may work........ Hey how about turning up the PA ( sorry forgot Roland doesn't like it load )

Certianly think the songs prematch could do with a shakeup. Good initiative on paper. It'll be a long term project however, and should continue throughout the summer for next season. Good luck Alex and co.

Recently went to the San Siro and prematch build up was the likes of AC-DC and Nirvana.
Not a massive rock fan myself however even I was pumped up for the game as a netural!

Call me old fashioned but I believe everything said in the opening thread, needed saying. there is nothing like a mild gee up to bring in the faithfull. even I from afar can see the need for some extra bums on seats for the remaining 4 home games and if possible 4 away games.
I am doing my best to get up from Devon for the Exeter game. IMO the Chairman has learnt lessons from last season and has expended finance to secure excellent CEO and Manager and a great squad. the very least we can do is to offer support. anyway this thread is not directed at you lot who bravely turn up week in week out, home and away.
this is directed at the County and ex pats, those who came to watch Chelsea etc. your Club needs you now! and with every sentiment of the original thread I concur. FS COYB AJ Devon

I would argue that all last week displayed was poor finishing from Oxford.
Anyway that was last week.
This week and the next 4/5 weeks we need to play a lot better than we have been the past couple of months.
Promotion is achieved on the pitch because that’s where the clean sheets are kept and the goals scored.
We can get behind them as much as we want, but if the players just aren’t doing it for whatever reason then there’s not a lot we can do.
I don’t know maybe the 40 years I’ve been watching Salop has made me into a cynical seen it/heard it all before miserable old b@st@rd.
Anyway COYB and all that.

I back this campaign. We are supporters, let's do our bit and see where it gets us. The team have done an excellent job so far this season and given us some memories that will last for a long time - lets do our best to help them get over the line and first and foremost through this rough patch.
COME ON YOU BLUES!
