Pretty cool stuff! I know this is absolutely not your fault but it can't have gone unnoticed that on the same day you're posting about Middlesbrough Foodbank with the hashtag 'cost of living crisis', that you're also talking about the cheapest season tickets at Boro being £560? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, he was a founder of the official supporters club in the 70s and a co-founder of MSF. My experience of him has been somewhat limited as every meeting bar one that he attended, his internet was a nightmare and he couldn't get a word in without cutting out. But the one meeting I did get to listen to him speak and put ideas forward, you could see he lived for this stuff. We've had a few funny interactions in the MSF group chat too, he sincerely came across as a top bloke. He was a proper Boro fan and a proper representative of the fans. It's a really sad day for everyone involved and of course his family. Mark put out a message too with a lovely picture including him from a long time ago now. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 We did a survey of away fans in the Championship, the main points found are in the article below: I say we, I'm not gonna take credit for the hard work of everyone else involved in this. I'm basically just keeping up with everybody else right now and trying to feed back as much as possible, quite a busy time at work! Link to post Share on other sites

I used to “chat” online with a Bill Stroller on the MFC aol group chat about 20 odd years ago…I never knew his identity. He was a great wealth of knowledge and always came across as an absolute gent.

Write a letter addressed to her and send it to training ground? Or drop letter off in person to make sure it reaches the training ground. Link to post Share on other sites

A proper handwritten letter, now there's a novel idea, i'm not even sure that the current generation know how to write a letter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hi mate. This is Frankies LinkedIn page, but it looks as though she might not be active/use it anymore as according to her profile she’s still at Hull! https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankie-hunter-97215552 I’d recommend your daughter to get LinkedIn (that’s if she hasn’t already). She can then direct message Frankie and connect and talk to other people who are in her field. It’s an extremely useful and powerful app if used correctly! By clicking on the link you can actually see her previous experience/career path on her profile, so even that kind of answers a bit of your daughters question. Hope this helps 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If this is related to RF btw, I asked and was told by their rep that the story was effectively nonsense. I won't go into detail as it's not my story to tell but it all sounded a bit daft to me. Not entirely sure about Wilder bringing it up in the press either way. Seems a bit daft to put a target on your own fans (especially those that the Riverside's atmosphere often lives off of) or create any form of infighting just to make the chairman look good for spending money. Can't say it was a very good value judgement. Wilder may not have intended to do that of course but I heard people chatting about it at the Bishop Auckland game too, judging what Wilder has said in those comments as gospel and wanting to show RF in a bad light because of it. Everyone knows Gibson puts his hand in his pocket and always has and I think you'd be hard pushed to find a Boro fan who has been following the club any longer than Wilder has been here that thinks any different. So yeah, in my eyes it was quite a strange thing for him to want to put out there. Link to post Share on other sites

I was just being silly mate, but if it's true that the RF story was rubbish then it's a very weird thing for Wilder to have brought up publicly, I agree Link to post Share on other sites
