I am happy to put my name forward for the working group in the interest of competition.
I am young, new to the site and hope to be here for a long time.
Certainly not the most experienced or savvy member of the site but no harm in putting my name forward.

I nominate SuperDave if he's available to be involved.
------------- I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

I think any of the following would be very beneficial

If people let those nominated know the story so they can pop in here and state whether they are interested or not

No nominations for Captain Byrne ??!!
Not sure if any of Gerk, The Count or Hoskins would be able to or like to be involved but think it would be good to have at least one in there.

Actually, I do have an additional thought. I know somebody mentioned above that these would probably be best suited to people based in Dublin - I can understand that it might be the case from a perspective of meeting with people etc but I think it would be good to have some representation on there from outside of Dublin just to represent the views of fans from outside of Dublin. They may have additional concerns, items for discussion that those in Dublin wouldn't etc.

I believe it was sent to everybody who has signed up. Email was as follows :
You Boys In Green are pleased to announce an update on the initiative to obtain a voice for independent supporters. Users of the site sought, via http://ybig.ie/" rel="nofollow - ybig.ie and other platforms, to gain a mandate from Republic of Ireland fans interested in joining together to create a community of supporters who wish to ensure their voice is heard by the Football Association Of Ireland.
The working group has by now received a mandate from several hundred supporters, with this number growing on an ongoing basis. The majority of these supporters are season ticket holders and regular away travellers. We intend to make contact with the FAI and other key stakeholders, seeking to establish an agreed communication channel for independent supporters.
We will seek to engage with the FAI on the following issues, among others:
The group encourages anyone who would like to become involved or would like to suggest initiatives to please get in touch.
We will continue to provide updates on the progress of this initiative at regular intervals.

It is a grouping made up of principally independents fans and some supporters club members argueing for more transparency and for all fans to be treated equally - see the opening post in the Mandate thread for further details https://forum.ybig.ie/ybig-mandate-sign-up-here_topic53706.html" rel="nofollow - https://forum.ybig.ie/ybig-mandate-sign-up-here_topic53706.html It is not affiliated to the confederation/FAI and so we retain the independence to criticise when required

Thanks for the explanation. I also read the original thread as you suggested.
In what forum will this new group argue for greater transparency that the members don't already argue in? Given the new group's size (c.400 was the last figure I saw)relative to say the largest supporters club(950+),do you think the FAI will be bothered to listen to an organisation that brings no collective revenue to the table (the group won't involve itself in distribution of ticketing and is publicly vociferous in it's criticism of the FAI and virulently hostile and antagonistic to the CEO of the association it wants to influence?
It seems that YBIG had a place at the FAI table and, now that it has lost that place to supporters clubs, is jealously desperate to get it back. The supporters clubs are cleverly succeeding at a game in which the FAI make the rules, own the ball and have the keys to the playing field. As Irish supporters of long standing know only too well, moral victories bring no prizes. |
I am currently travelling and will respond to this later however your charge of jealousy does question your motives

In terms of jealously, as somebody who signed up to the YBIG mandate, I certainly am not jealous of anything. I just wanted to be treated equally as any fan should.

We see no reason why it cannot be publically posted as it will be of interest to all but it is going to mandate signatures firstly.

Forgive my ignorance, but could someone outline the difference between the organisation proposed here and a supporters' club? |
It is a grouping made up of principally independents fans and some supporters club members argueing for more transparency and for all fans to be treated equally - see the opening post in the Mandate thread for further details https://forum.ybig.ie/ybig-mandate-sign-up-here_topic53706. - https://forum.ybig.ie/ybig-mandate-sign-up-here_topic53706.html</a> It is not affiliated to the confederation/FAI and so we retain the independence to criticise when required |
Thanks for the explanation. I also read the original thread as you suggested.
In what forum will this new group argue for greater transparency that the members don't already argue in? Given the new group's size (c.400 was the last figure I saw)relative to say the largest supporters club(950+),do you think the FAI will be bothered to listen to an organisation that brings no collective revenue to the table (the group won't involve itself in distribution of ticketing and is publicly vociferous in it's criticism of the FAI and virulently hostile and antagonistic to the CEO of the association it wants to influence?
It seems that YBIG had a place at the FAI table and, now that it has lost that place to supporters clubs, is jealously desperate to get it back. The supporters clubs are cleverly succeeding at a game in which the FAI make the rules, own the ball and have the keys to the playing field. As Irish supporters of long standing know only too well, moral victories bring no prizes. |

you would be surprised how many people dip into this forum despite throwing teddy out of the pram at various stages, especially around match days and away travel, its nearly like the 'go to' place for info, hell even the FAI log in

One further question. What if the FAI, after meeting with the mandate group, refuse to budge on your demands? What action can the group take? . | You would hardly expect us to divulge such top secret information on a public form , who do you think we are the White House ?

The mandate group may take a moral high ground, and may very well be morally right to do so, I think you may be entering the realm of moral victories and the lonely place that it is. I hope I am wrong and that you get all the fairness you request, but, I would again point out that, in this game, the FAI make the rules, own the ball and regretfully decide on what is fair.

Just one thing wondering was there any kind if timeframe given from fai on issues like number of members in fans direct etc
Reason I'm wondering is because know of some people trying to join it in last number of weeks and have not been able to do so as received no reply to the online form they completed

All people who signed up to the YBIG Mandate group should by now have received an email with an update on developments.
We did receive a number of bounce backs for various reasons. Where there were obvious typos on submitted email addresses we have corrected those but if anyone who signed up from here hasn't received the update then please re enter your details through the sign-up link and we'll send the update on.
Also, if anyone hasn't signed up to the mandate but is interested in doing so then please do so via the link and we'll add you to the database.
As mentioned before, we do not claim to speak for the site as a whole and can only speak for those who agree to sign up to the mandate.
