'After all is said and done, there's a lot more said than done'
STAR was a great idea, a natural development in the real world of where the relationship between football clubs and football fans was actually going at the time.
Personally I'm too far removed these days to be fully aware of exactly how good or bad they may or may not be, but creating an alternative is way more complicated than some posters seem to imagine.
There's nothing to stop anybody creating a fans club, society or what have you, but sustaining it is without question very, very difficult, never mind sustaining one that actually has a better relationship with all concerned.
STAR is constitutional, join it and CHANGE it to whatever it is you desire, all you need is a mandate!
Good luck

Anyone know how the STAR membership numbers have changed over the years? A lot of us on here appear to be former members. I wonder whether we have been replaced and by greater numbers or not.

TBMRFCUK Really don't understand the gripe people have with STAR.
Acts like this (below) is probably whyCypry Well I for one will not be renewing...I wouldn't normally discuss the content of a PM, but I've had no response to my reply since I sent it 3 days ago, and need to vent spleen...
I had a PM on Friday from STAR, effectively telling me that the situation was my fault, apparently I should have known about the history of these events without needing to be told. It was also made clear that the club and Brian personally are "very upset" - again, the implication being that my actions, and my actions alone have upset them, and STAR now have a lot to do to repair the relationship.
Finally I was told that STAR have nothing against me "because you have shown remorse" - again the implication is that all this is my fault.
What I object to is the fact that STAR seem to want to lay all responsibility at my door for this, and take no responsibility whatsoever themselves. As I've said repeatedly, if we'd been told the forum was "between these four walls" I'd have honoured that...
I don't believe for a minute that Brian is genuinely "very upset" - I'm sure he has far more important things to worry about, but I'll be meeting him in a couple of weeks, so I'll ask and apologise if necessary - let's hope STAR are telling the truth or they'll look very silly...

Royal Lady One person repeated what was said at a fans' forum - albeit in bullet points etc as he thought he was enlightening fellow supporters who weren't at the meeting. Apparently, instead he has incurred the wrath of STAR, the club and most importantly, Brian, who is very upset.

What's the difference between this, and my housemate coming home from the Forum and telling us all that was said and went on?
