There looks like there has been another decent contribution - any news on who it was from? Pitchcare, part of Maxwell Amenity, the guys who look after the pitch. Well done to Dave, John and all the guys down there. Do they have a Twitter account?

I’m led to believe from someone on the Superblues committee they have voted against backing safe standing.

That is really disappointing. As a Superblue I had hoped they would put in quite a bit. I shall seriously be considering withdrawing my subscription now.

We don't know if it's a fact, ssshrew. If it is, I'm going to cancel my subscription and make another donation to safe standing instead.

Me too. I will wait and see but if the report came from a committee member I am not optimistic to be honest.

The safe standing is probably the biggest off the field activity since we moved to the new ground. I would be amazed and bitterly disappointed if the rumour is true.

Need to wait to hear the official Super Blues line on this I think
Think the wording saying they are against safe standing suggests no support for the project - which is different to not donating to the project. Two very different things
As I’ve argued on here I think it’s a disingenious fans are being asked to fund the scheme, rather than the club and football authorities funding it, as the Hillsborough report clearly stated they should. As such I haven’t donated money. As a Super Blues member I wouldn’t want them donating either
That doesn’t mean I don’t support safe standing being introduced back into the football league, just the way this project is proposing to fund it
Please don’t let this campaign be yet another way of driving fan groups further apart

Hi guys we have always said this is an emotive issue. Some support, some don’t understand what it is we are trying to achieve and some don’t agree with a return to standing. We have never pushed for a donation and I understand that the Superblues can’t donate as they have some committee who are against..... which is understandable. That doesn’t mean we should stop supporting the superblues they do a massive amount of good for the club.

Some still have a gripe with the OSC who preferred to stick with clippy, the SB are entitled to their opinions but could be a huge own goal for their own future fundraising efforts if this is true.

Yes they do but it would have been good if they’d made a token gesture for those of us who do support safe standing. After all we do all pay our subs.

Well they can do it without me. If you think Roland is stubborn, you haven't seen me in full flight. The dragon says it borders on mental illness! Although of course, that's not true, I'm more stubborn than that.

Shouldn't the super blues be helping any campaign that puts the club in the national spotlight ?

Perhaps Superblues should take a step back and ask the members rather than just the opinions of a committee..... fairly important subject and a shame if supporters feelings aren't listened to...

Some still have a gripe with the OSC who preferred to stick with clippy, the SB are entitled to their opinions but could be a huge own goal for their own future fundraising efforts if this is true. The OSC didn't just 'prefer' the irrelevant clip art logo, but they actually fought tooth and nail against the successful campaign to restore the Loggerheads over a period of several years. It is a little known fact that, after the landslide badge vote, the OSC even resorted to sending a "poison pen" letter to STFC urging the club to defy the will of the people, and retain the clip art lion forever more. To see the aforementioned OSC now proudly using the Loggerheads on their social media accounts, website and merchandise is extremely galling for all involved. It would be fair to say that the OSC's behaviour regarding the clip art badge and the Loggerheads was a disgrace, and has irreperably damaged their reputation amongst many Town fans. Rather than childishly using 'troll' accounts on B&A created solely to insult me (e.g. blocktenner), its leading members should issue a formal apology to supporters everywhere for obstructing efforts to restore the club's history, heritage and identity. This would go a long way to healing the wounds caused by their cowardice. The Super Blues should be very wary of history repeating itself. I will be extremely disappointed if they have ridden roughshod over an initiative for which some Town fans have worked tirelessly. Don't forget that the Super Blues have spunked large quantities of their funds on several pointless things since the move to the soulless New Meadow. Need I mention the infamous retractable tunnel (!) which cost thousands, and has barely been used? What about the physio bench which made absolutely no impact on the match-day experience of the hoipolloi, and should have been funded by the club in any case? To not support the safestanding campaign wholeheartedly, in both mind and deed, strikes me as mean and grasping behaviour from our largest and best known supporters' group. Those involved should reconsider their stance as a matter of urgency, or may live to face the consequences. WATP

Indeed. They need to remember where their money comes from. It's not the project itself that worries me so much as one of our own supporters groups not supporting another one. If we receive donations from other clubs' supporters the least our own groups can do is add something. Even if it had only been £52 my subscription for this year it would have been something. I find it totally bizarre. The only excuse I could accept would be if they are going to fund sorting the toilet seat fiasco and I would think that is highly unlikely.

The Fanzine have contributed The Podcast has contributed The OSC has contributed almost 1000's of fans have contributed Fans from other clubs have contributed Supporters associations from other clubs have contributed OTHER CLUBS AND OUR OWN CLUB HAVE CONTRIBUTED
All in if this is true, the SB stand along in not supporting something massively good for our club. If the will of one miserable bugger who does not want to lose his seat outrides the general conscience of the fanbase, including many of the SBs then you have to ask whats going on.
Agree with Geoff, the damage to the SBs as a force at this club is damaged more by not supporting this, so you wonder hats now going on with there internal structure at the moment.
The bit i don't get is this is something the club are behind and want! Previously when the club said jump (i.e buy us a tunnel) the SBs said how high. Now on something being driven by the fans, that is FOR the fans, nothing.
All very strange.

Of course, sadly there is one big, irreversible change - there is no longer Chris Smith at the helm. I'm not even sure who is to be honest.

I almost put that in my message above. you wonder what he would have made of this. To be honest i have no idea what changes have occurred at the SBs since his passing. No figure head for the group now.

I think that could be the problem. I remember him telling me years ago that before he it on, it was very corporate and only open to business people. He changed that and opened it up to the fans. I fear it may be going back the other way. In which case it’s not for me.

Considering we have received fairly substantial donations from supporters' groups at other clubs, this is very embarrassing for the Super Blues. Who is on their committee, and what on earth are they playing at?

Need clarification on this! is there someone on the committee who is affected personally? If that is the case he shouldn't take any part in the decision as doing so is using his position for personal gain.....wouldn't rake Einstein to realise that was wrong... Tell me this isn't the case....
