Well mate that just shows what a bit of harmony can lead to.

The Foundation are chuffed to bits with the upsurge in membership numbers. Be great if they can keep the momentum going. Passed the 1,000 membership, next target 1,500.

See DEE C Tamsins sticking the boot in as usual

Some horrible chunts leaked it to them and DCT make it like we've got the begging out. ****s

Joined DUSF this week Jim , if its good enough for Chairman its good enough for me 😂😂😂

Not yet, but that’s due to financial situation- every penny’s a prisoner just now. Will look to join when situation improves, but don’t think that will be for a while.

Sorry that definitely doesn't encourage me at all. In fact the opposite.

I believe that fan groups should exist solely for the club’s supporters to exert their opinions, who otherwise wouldn’t have any means of influence. I’m of the opinion that people with vested interests e.g. Ogrens, Asghar, etc should not be members or influential within fan groups or perhaps impose their own agendas on them but should be willing to work in tandem with them. The fact that the chairman etc. are now members of DUSF, in my opinion, defeats the purpose of that group existing. The DUSF need to be 100% independent of the club. Imagine if the likes of ST, Martin etc. were involved.

What happens when the Ogrens do decide to take profits from the club when it suits them, as they said they would. Would the DUSF members not have a different agenda?

Bit like having your cake and eating it.

I recently joined up too. Since release of funds seems to go to votes don't think Ogren could manipulate/influence membership. If at any point board were seen to be "negatively" running club think any request of money would be denied.

However I think as things stand we're all pulling in the same direction so fans joining up has to be positive.
