Next Fans Forum - Monday Oct 20th

Hi Rob, please could you ask about bike parking at the Riverside? If a few car parking spaces could be given to a shelter with something to secure bikes too, it would give somewhere for everyone who currently cycles to matches, and it could also encourage more to travel on bikes.

At the moment all we have are lampposts!

Isn't there bike storage under the East stand?
 
I
If there is, I didn't know about it and have never seen it! Can anyone confirm?
I think there are storage facilities in West and East Stands

I will try and get details today. I saw the bikes on Saturday.

Hi Briboro - email Supporter Services - they will.advise and allocate you a space.
Am not in front of my computer but the email is on mfc website
Found it - SUPPORTERS@MFC.CO.UK
 
Meeting is now next Monday - after the deluge passes. For those not on Teesside it has rained non stop for about 12 hours.
I keep on putting the wrong date up. Anyway, it is definitely confirmed for next Monday.
There are lots of ideas for agenda items on this thread but some have already maybe come to fruition ie memberships. Also we now have had the Exeter ticket subsidy and Leeds reciprocal ticketing.
But yes what now is really pressing for debate across the Fans Forum and with the football club.

OK, a very easy one to fix. Pre-match announcements. We currently get the eleven starters for Boro, NO substitutes and the away team is ignored completely. That is particularly rude, in my opinion, but believe it or not some of us actually want to know who we are facing (and who is on the bench for both sides). It's not too difficult, is it?
Can’t recall if the subs got read out but they read out the away team on Saturday 👍
 
I'll continue with my attempt to break the record for the number of months asking the same question, and say .......

Priority Points for buying the Video Pass

Yes - I passed on the comments from here about the away team to John Foster a couple of weeks ago - he said it was something that had been dropped after covid and basically that was because he only had a few seconds to read out the teams. Anyway, when he heard our requests he managed to get time slot increased and so is able to read both teams and was very glad to do it.
 
Yes, both teams were read out but no subs.
He told me before that he had 3 seconds per name fpr the Boro team. But following your requests he managed to get more time given over for the teams. I think he needs to get hold of Group Industrial as they claim to sponsor TIME in the Riverside Stadium.
But seriously - I will pass this on to John - his issue is he only gets a very short window of time allotted to read the names out. Perhaps someone can tell me if he reads out the teams and subs fully earlier on in the build up.

Yes, we have raised it several times.
I think they are now following up the general membership scheme with a few different possible proposals and looking at different specific ideas such as this.
 
I'm sure this has been mentioned before Rob, but is there a possibility that they can change the online network/ticketing system so that you can see how many bonus points each person has in your network? Would make things so much easier when purchasing for multiple people.

Oh yes, it would make it much easier. I am sure we have brought this up before but I have forgotten the response Doh. Possibly it was a data protection thing. Or maybe it is something technical. We can raise it again or get an answer before the meeting if there is a technical or privacy reason.

Brilliant thanks. Was wondering if it was a data protection thing but not sure if a message could be sent to each member when added to your network to confirm they allow you to access this information. Might not be possible due to expense etc but worth a try.
