Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
This is for anyone with views to relay to the club who can't make it tomorrow evening for the Fans Focus Group.
A good effort for the club to arrange it: should be a good opportunity to have our voices heard about all things DW, on and off the pitch.
I will have a look through the various threads on here and give a sense of the general view of Forum members, but do please add anything here that you would like to have fed into Kris, Ollie and the team, whether it be facilities, match day travel, segregation, communication, social events, whatever.
For me, I think the matchday food and drinks offering could be better - to avoid the long half time queues, but this seems to be a feature at most grounds we go to. I would also like to hear more about the ground improvements and - as others have said - where the money from the fund raising schemes is going. But generally I think the match day experience is very good, from speaking to away fans as well (not Salisbury though) and to retain an average home attendance north of 1200 having dripped down a division is not bad either.
But interested to hear views from others ....
@dorkingtyke Strongly disagree I am afraid.
When we were in the Isthmian Premier, I remember when Worthing came to visit and I think it was non-segregated back then.
There was a minority of their fans who were a nightmare, extremely threatening, swearing etc... You do not want that around young children. Best to keep them separate. There was another game from that season also exactly the same.
A lot of clubs have a minority of nightmare fans who can ruin the home fans enjoyment. Keeping them segregated means they can be managed, and if we go up a division it will be the norm again to segregate anyway for most games.
If anyone is wondering whatever happened to the results of the survey that the Fans Focus Group helped to put together before Christmas- I had forgotten all about it- I understand that there should be an email coming around next week about it.
