Adelaide United Fans Update | A Letter & Request To The Club

[Shane]

Actually, they have generally said yes to all requests.

Obviously things need more discussion, however so far the initial response is OK.

[shinAUFC]

Thats a positive move forward.

Hopefully it wont be a token response and forgotten about 4 weeks later.

If they are indeed being sincere then only good can come of this. Your all doing a fantastic job guys

[Futbol_Crazy21]

A positive step for the club, now they just need to follow it through.

[ChillyPhilly]

Actions speak louder than words. This is how the club should be judged.

[Stuckey]

Have we heard more? We were hoping for a formal response by this weekend.

[Shane]

A formal letter of response is yet to be received from the club. We're still waiting for it to arrive.

[EdDog]

Give it time guys - the monkey on the typewriter who handles all correspondence for AU has a lot on his plate at the moment.

[Old Gregg]

"It was the best of times... it was the blurst of times..."

[ChillyPhilly]

We're hoping to get a reply this week.

[ganas]

Message of thanks to you, the fans

Wednesday, 6 February 2013 11:16 AM

We would like to convey the club’s appreciation to all of the club's supporter groups.

While the result was not what we were after, your attempts to lift the players on Sunday afternoon against the Wanderers was terrific. We hope this continues in the remaining matches and the rest of the crowd feels encouraged to join in. We're sure many more fans will be ready to do so against Melbourne Victory this week.

We have been delighted with the behaviour of the crowd at Hindmarsh and the positive atmosphere that has been created, particularly over the past two home games. We are pleased to report that during these two matches not a single incident was reported and not a single person was evicted from either match. We are hopeful this trend continues, but with our next opponent Melbourne Victory, we know that this will be a difficult challenge.

We urge all supporters to continue to act in accordance with the FFA’s Spectator Code of Behaviour and the Terms of Admission, and we look to our Active Supporter Groups leading by the example you have set during the last two home games.

With incidents from last weekend’s Melbourne derby being highlighted in various media outlets, there will no doubt be a heavy media focus on our match this Friday night. We ask all spectators (both active and non-active) to consider this, whether inside or outside the ground. Any negative behaviour, no matter how minor, will be reported in a negative way by the media. This will only tarnish the reputations of Adelaide United, the supporters, and the game itself.

We all have a common goal - support the team and support the growth of football in this state. The more positive the media reports are, the more likely we can achieve this goal.

Thank you, well done & we look forward to seeing you in the terraces in full voice on Friday night.

I doubt it - they'd surely have a personalised response to the original letter.

Also that email from the club I definitely approve of and hope that it is just one of many more to come.

The challenge now is to maintain this kind of disclosure.

[Stuckey]

For the last ten years the Red Army has been Adelaide United's premier Active Supporter group supporting the Reds throughout Australia and even across Asia!

Located at the Northern End of Hindmarsh Stadium, the Red Army aims to bring as much colour and noise to the ground through its tifos, flags, displays, drumming and most importantly chanting and singing!

Everyone is welcome to come and join in.

Wow now this. I can't believe it the club is actually making an effort!

Keep it up AUFC! This is how you should be operating ALL THE TIME!!

[General Ashnak]

I am pretty sure that the club's media man is now going to almost solely concentrate on the club and the people in and around it. No more stuff about matches etc. There is so much to talk about and communicate around the club that what happens on the pitch on match day can and should be left to those paid exclusively to report on it.

The email received today is exactly the sort of thing that we should be seeing into the future.

Well bloody done.

[shinAUFC]

Freaking stoked!! the club is finally starting to listen to all the noise being made by fans about the matchday experience.

Its almost bitter sweet in that it has taken so god damn long to get to this point but IMO if they are sincere then its only forwards from here
