PSG

As long as the person who thought it was a good idea to have Sunderland as Gentry Day is nowhere near it. 👍

This was pretty much the point I was making without being specific. Let's have it at Sunderland and make it about Bradley
 
Is there not an argument that the many online platforms across Facebook, Twitter and here could lump together to do the job?

Elected officials from elected platforms for example? A vote of such, instead of just letting anyone and everyone getting involved or people who used to do it that may not have moved with the times.

Just a thought.
 
We seem to be one of the few clubs without a proper supporters group.

I'd be supportive of one although I may think it best to start a new one from scratch rather than reform PSG - mainly so it won't come under instant attack from one gobshite and his merry band of shit stirrers.

If people want to influence decisions, they can put their hands up when the committee is formed.
 
A PNE supporters group could be started through here if we don't want to take the PSG route, which would also be welcomed. Some very knowledgable people on here who would make fine assets towards the running of a new supporters' group.

Irrespective of what is decided, the forum could be used to put more pressure on the club. If the forum agreed, say, to use our platform to call on Trev to be more transparent, that could also work. We have many members here who may be willing to help 'on the ground', so to speak, if it came to it.
 
if PSG will be a group who sort out Gentry or The 5000 or such specials then go ahead...

if its a supporters group for all topics then I cant see any group that can represent the views of 'forum fans' let alone everyone.

The forum is full of bickering, with an unhelpful percentage of half wits, not to mention the odd troll. How is the club supposed to discern what they would like to know? It would require full time appointment just to read the forum and distill the views of fans.

Spot on.

There is a place for utilising social media efficiently as an arm of any supporters group to gauge opinion and spread information. But there is no substitute for proper face to face interaction between a group of appointed representatives and the rest of the fans and the club.

Having a smaller group of people running a supporters group gives them more authority (as well as accountability) and should reduce the likelihood of their efforts being hijacked/trolled by idiots online - and rightly so, given people who run supporters groups are giving up a significant portion of their time for no money.

Too many took the efforts of the previous organisers for granted, some even took it upon themselves to hurl abuse and dictate what they should be doing, whilst sat on their arse, offering no help, from the anonymity and non-accountability of a forum/other platforms. I fear similar would be unavoidable should a supporters group base itself entirely online.
 
As a previous committee member of PSG and knowing the other members, Geoff included, I would be more than happy for PSG to reform although now living over the water sadly I could not be involved.
PSG over the years was not only the organiser of Gentry Day but also a voice of the fans and raised a considerable amount for various charities.
I think given the current structure of the club any organisation would find it extremely difficult to have any outside influence over decisions (apart from when it suits the club),however I do believe with the Travel Club, Gentry Day and it's ability to fund raise for some fantastic causes it would be great to see PSG again.

Just seen this on the PNE FANS page on Facebook. Any thoughts? Would the reforming of PSG be a positive for the fans and the club going forward or has this particular Supporters Group had its day?

"Geoff Ollerton has said they would be happy to resurrect the PSG if they belived the idea would be welcomed by fellow PNEFC fans. PSG were the driving force behind organising Gentry Day in recent years but they disbanded after they were served with some unjust criticism after many years of hard work. Many fans have been asking about Gentry Day in the past few weeks but the club have yet to come forward, as this was always a fan initiated event, would you be happy to see PSG take the helm again?"

It is a must, since PSG went, the club has gone backwards with the fans and Gentry Day is a farce. PSg did many good things and is is missed. It's a Yes from me

Personally I think it would depend entirely on who the committee were. There are too many people across the various social platforms who strike me as the sort that would view it as their own vanity project.

jake fits this perfectly.

With the massive pull that various social media platforms have and our own online forum, the likes of Gentry Day could surely be decided without the need for a "group".

JK showed what can be done with his massive drive to overturn the training complex planning decision, this place is all you need to agree the likes of Gentry day.
