Are rf08 still no longer active participants?
I recall your being ostracised by various "fans" when you pointed out that price increases for tickets were imminent, and you were shouted down for letting fans know. Am I right in thinking rf08 withdrew from active participation with MSF at that point?

All the best

Whenever the away shirts do come in.. I’m told they’re not gonna be in the store.. you can only buy them online.. and they haven’t ordered any without the sponsor on.

Funny you say that as I heard a whisper just a couple of hours ago that "at least some sizes" won't be available this side of Christmas.

Just been in the club shop. The staff are canny enough but the level of tat has increased. They have some properly ***** Xmas hats in now with dodgy s***y badges.. wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole. Shame the club wasn’t able to get their act together. The staff looked almost embarrassed.. I’m sure they get asked all the time and have to disappoint folks.

I wouldn’t have anyone in there wearing the away shirt like if we can’t sell it.. probably best to have the staff wearing the stuff you can actually buy.. you’d soon get feedback there as well.

I've found it weird in the past few weeks that whoever runs social media appears to be showing the away kit in posts more often than was the case earlier in the season. Probably nothing to that, but its frustrating for those wanting to buy but unable to.

What can you do if there's huge demand though, eh? ;)
 
In the last few days, there's been a noticeable uptick in sales volumes of Boro shirts on the alternative sites, presumably as fans lose hope in getting an offical shirt before Christmas. Some of our Chinese friends are still claiming an expected delivery date of December 14-16.
 
Boro Bame make a statement on Thursday Morning

Saturday evening MSF put out a statement.

Was this passed by all MSF members before it was put out?

The statement by Boro Bame seemed quite damming.. the statement by MSF doesn’t really address that at all.

Why was the Boro Bame member suspended from MSF?

MSF has adopted practices that Boro Bame cannot support, they believe that MSF should operate as an independent forum embodying fairness and transparency for all supporters.

It’s funny that they say that.. because the very same has been said on here. So if a MSF member says that and multiple hardcore fmttm posters have done also.. you have to wonder what the wider fanbase would have to say.. if they even knew about MSF.

It’s not fit for purpose. It’s not the Wild West, it’s not people being bitter or trying to settle old scores.. it doesn’t do what it is supposed to do..

apart from representatives from Middlesbrough Disabled Supporters Association (MDSA) and Middlesbrough Supporters South (MSS) the members are not suitable. it’s a closed shop, it’s undemocratic and causes more problems than it solves.

Sorry.. it was only a tweet. Most people don’t even read them. I’ve been incredibly bitter to ask for an explanation.

I’m guessing this is to settle an old score of some sort.. which if true would mean that there was a score to settle.

Let’s not make it personal.. which means that if you are personally attacked.. you should not respond or attempt to defend yourself.

For the record I am not criticising the role that foodbanks play in helping folks who are struggling.

I am criticising MSF as I believe it has serviced its own needs and requirements before anything else.. unless that need happens to be printer ink..
 
So, Boro BAME put out a statement saying MSF should operate independently of the club, several posters on here have said exactly the same. RF don't bother with MSF anymore either.

Yet that's not the reason?

Bollox.
