Firstly, we will be posting a lot more about the meeting and our impressions from it over the weekend, but HNA? isn't the right place for that - it'll go onto the STAR website, where it can be linked to from here. And to answer RL's question, BR was extremely open and honest - far more than we're us...

I rarely venture into "The Team" forum, but as this thread is talking about the methods of Brendan Rodgers I'll share some of what I learnt this afternoon when I was one of 3 STAR Board members invited to meet Brendan and spend some time with him at Hogwood. What he said was very open, hon...

The scores were finalised over the weekend - just waiting for this to go up on the website,, so it's now extremely imminent.

As a service to everyone, here are key dates for the next season : June 17th Fixtures released (10am) August 8th Football League starts 10th (w/c) Carling Cup Round 1 12th Holland v England Friendly 15th Premier League starts 15th FA Cup Extra Prelininary Round 24th (w/c) Carling Cup Round 2 29th FA...

It's a lovely idea, but sadly there's nothing like that available - reasonable travel expenses are always reimbursed, but this doesn't include trips to and from the MadStad, and some weeks there can be 3 or 4 of these so that all adds up. But as far as I know all that has ever been claimed for are p...

FYI, STAR's Board membership policy includes the below rules : 30. No Member shall be permitted to seek election to the Board if they are, or are reasonably likely during their three-year term of office to be an employee of the Club (whether part-time or full-time, whether for consideration or volun...

Dirk, will you be cheerleading pitchside like that chap at Blackburn? Don't bring me into all of this. Sorry, Star Campaigns, will you be cheerleading pitchside like that chap at Blackburn? Personally, on Sunday I'll be doing what I usually do at matches, which is applauding, moaning, singing and c...

It's coming along - apologies, but it's slipped won the list of priorities!

Just to clarify and set expectations before too much misinformation spreads, yes the football club is organising "clapper banners" for the Birmingham match, and STAR is assisting with the distribution of these before the game. These are similar to the ones used at recent England matches at...

See the long, rambling response to this thread : http://hobnob.royals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=87103

Taking the last point first, yes of course a Supporters' Trust is about sharing information - which is why we've recently started putting notes of our meetings with the RFC Senior Management team up on the STAR website, after a few years of not being able to. But with regard to Fans' Forums, there's...

A very comprehensive answer - thank you. You're welcome. I guess having just one club is a strength providing it allows for differences of opinion within it. The danger is that disenfranchised fans have nowhere to turn and that the trust just becomes another wing of the club. Yes, that's always som...

Sure! Supporters' Clubs, traditionally, have been there to help people support the club, and typically they have had fairly "loose" constitutions - legally usually "unincorporated corporations" -where the members could so what they liked with the organisation. Frequently, too, an...

Norwich travel time is a follows: Monday April 27th Depart Mad Stad 2.00pm Depart Station Hill 1.45pm Tickets available on 7th April to existing STAR members . £5.00 refundable deposit required. Will tickets only be available on the 7th? STAR Campaigns seems to have indicated that they will be avai...

Oddly due to the way it is being done I may now not go, and had been looking at trying to as no work on the mon or tuesday, it is a real shame that we only have STAR, and this is not a criticism, arranging travel to away games. Maybe, but if you had more than one organisation you'd probably lose th...

We hope to have them displayed in a week or so, and then updated again immediately the season ends. Apologies - it's been a busy time and we've had lots of other things come up. And, of course, there's not many of us, so volunteers are always welcome. If anyone would like to help out STAR in any way...

All details are on the item on the STAR website, here , including the terms and conditions of this - without them RFC and STAR would effectively be writing a "blank cheque." These are copyied here for reference, though: Terms and Conditions: · Priority for free travel will be given to exis...

STAR has got a presentation showing full details of RGP station, together with maps, diagrams, artist's impressions and timescales.

As soon as I have time these will be published on the STAR website and linked to from here.

When they've been at these in the past they've always been very open - so much so that we've had to take things out of the notes.

It is (very craftily!) not specified exactly in the TV contracts. I think the wording is something along the lines of "Sky will endeavour to give six weeks' notice of matches moved for TV, but reserve the right to reduce this notice period for matches towards the end of the season." So it'...
