Post on Fmttm from Chris Joseph the founder.

Thoughts?

"The Middlesbrough Supporters Forum was my brainchild in 2016. Formed in early 2017 with the agreement of our beloved Middlesbrough Football Club and with the help of MFC visionary Mark Ellis, to bring together the disparate fan groups, it was called by current MFC historian and former Gazette reporter Anthony Vickers a 'Boro fans mini-parliament'. I stood down as Chair and resigned in 2020 when the recently appointed Chair wasn't prepared to allow proper debate of sensitive information from MFC that was potentially detrimental to the wellbeing of Boro supporters during and specifically linked to the COVID crisis. MSF's recent public debacles indicate that it is no longer truly independent; the principal reason it was set up and enshrined in point 1 of its carefully considered constitution(see clause), to call the club to account on behalf of us (MFC's loyal paying customers). What do you think? Chris Joseph (Founder). www.boro.support

This is the application to join the MSF.

I am reliably informed the magic "number" for "membership" and "reach" is set at least 2k.

I am also informed that groups like Rainbow Reds "pass" because their pages are open to public on Facebook. That covers their reach.
If i shift RR to FB that would put us in the thousands.

"Any group or organisation with Boro fans at its heart is welcome to apply to join the Middlesbrough Supporters Forum.

Please submit the following information for consideration by the current Forum members and a vote will be held at an upcoming meeting – a majority vote is required to secure membership. The decision will be advised to the applicant, with no reasons given for the outcome.

1 The constitution of the group/organisation
2 Its mission statement
3 Number of members or online subscribers/reach"

Notice the "no reason given" clause.
Where have you read that before?...................

As the owner of RR its my "job" to run and promote the site.

I know FOR A FACT RR is "out there". Boro fans know all about us.
I can tell by the abuse i regularly receive on other social media!
    

[BoroRedKen]

Does anyone know or have contact with Chris Joseph?

[AtomicDog]

Does anyone know or have contact with Joseph?

Yes, anyone?

I'd like to get hold of him too.

He's still got that coat that I lent him . . . The one of many colours?



Well I want it back!

[TMG501]

Who is the "recently appointed Chair" he refers to?

[AtomicDog]

All the lot of em are is useful idiots.
Look at it from Gibson's point, he's a shrewd businessman. Why employ someone, pay them a wage, when you've got these goon's falling over themselves, to do it for nowt?

They have no pull or say whatsoever what Gibson says goes and they'll do as they're told.

Ask yourself a question if Fred the red and his merry gang boycotted MFC do you honestly think it would bother Gibson an iota?

How many of em actually go to the f*@#ing games?





We okay though cos we get in for nixie . . .



New Dog end getting built for us next year too.

Heated seats with built in treat dispenser too!

Do we go to the MSF meetings? . . . Do we f*#k we too busy getting offit, havin fun,  in town

Totally bent /corrupt/patsies  with a "closed shop" mentality looking after the "gravy train" they are all on ...at least Chris Joseph left on a point of principle & did not want shit covering up .......the opposite of that lot keeping schtum on ticket prices etc so they can all swoon meeting  Gibbo etc

[BoroRedKen]

Who is the "recently appointed Chair" he refers to?

I thought that TMG.

I know the last 1 has quit (MM?) but have not read about who has taken the reins. Do we all just presume its a racing cert who gets the gig?.

[BoroRedKen]

Like i have stated i have no interest in RR being on the MSF.

My issue is the fact they preach and regularly shout about that "magic" word "INCLUSION".

Rob Nichols will not allow even us a consideration because of what he allows his forum to refer to us as publicly.

Now as someone who is going through the legal battles i am do you think im going to shut up and remain silent when "certain" people are promoting themselves as a devout follower of this DEI bollocks but then use untruths and downright lies to "prevent" us other Boro fans from even applying?

I suggest a vote of NO CONFIDENCE int the current MSF leaders. They ARE NOT representing us Boro fans full stop lately.

[AtomicDog]

If it's Mr Fred they won't put his picture on the webpage will they! . . .



Or do you think he'll just cut a picture out of Kays catalogue, and send that in?

[BoroRedKen]

Indiana Nichols and the Curse of the Golden Throne.................

[AtomicDog]

Will he have an office at the Riverside?



Or will they just give him a cellar?

[TMG501]

I get the feeling that Rob Nichols doesn't really mean what he says here

that's brilliant, I didn't realise he did humour.

His avatar ( if that's the name ) the shirt blends in well with the wallpaper.

I didn't even know there was a fans forum until it was mentioned on here.

[Gingerpig]

So we have a unknown chairman of MSF who seems to be invisible to all but the "gravy trainers" who appear to be sworn to silence on the issue

& this lot are meant to be our voice !, they are light years away from "real" Boro fans

The original chair left because of issues with the club on Covid stuff, replacement went because he got stick for keeping quiet when they knew about ticket prices .....& now we have another .....but we all know who REALLY wants it ...& will get it ,because no one licks arse like West

[borope]

Think Chris Joseph is a bit bitter there. He may no longer be "friends" with Rob ?

[In With the Lurpak]

Sounded a good idea when this Joseph fella was in charge    Looks like it's been hijacked now by arse lickers as mentioned above more interested in defending Kim and the bandwagon than the paying public . Doubt many people around Teesside give 2 shiny fucks what spews out of this   MSF groups traps .
