Friday's LegacySeal What's STAR's official party line on a pitch invasion IF Palace does turn out to be a promotion party?
Stewards are vastly outnumbered. It will happen whether club or STAR like it or not! Sadly I'm in the upper west for Palace as I left the last couple of games too late and missed our season ticket seats for next season in Y26. We'll get on somehow!
Sarah Star I can't give you exact figures, but 72% agreed strongly, 14% agreed slightly, 8% were neutral, 5% disagreed slightly and 1% disagreed strongly with the statement that Reading FC's kit should consist of Royal blue and white hoops, white shorts and white socks, which is a STAR policy.

It's a STAR policy to have a kit with hoops? What does that mean?
ZacNaloen It means that if Star owned the club it would always have that kit, as they don't own the club they campaign for it every year.
ZacNaloen Seems that way, hopefully this poll which it would have been nice if StarLiason mentioned in the other thread, where we were being told that without a poll our discussion was pointless, that star already polled the fans and it was massively in favour of the hoops.
500 fans?Sarah Star If you mean round the shirt - the time to do something about that was in October and yes, it was. The club was given proof that people wanted it and they countered this by saying they'd had people complain about the hoops all the way round before. This time we were able to give them numbers from our own survey of over 500 fans. I am pretty hopeful on this one for this season, tbh, but we'll have to wait and see. It may still have been too late.
That's laughable. Hardly representing the fans! 
Right, so... these 'clappers' are going to need to be put out. The clappers need to be printed. Obviously the stadium is going to be full - when is it not on the last game of the season?Sarah Star If you mean round the stadium, that had to be considered well in advance and was decided against. From memory, I think the cons were - putting the cards out, cost of getting them printed, whether the stadium would be full enough and the fact that that day was special. Going up again will be special too, but not like that day.

The clappers come from the club not STAR. It would be nice if they would fund something else, but you can't bank on it.dantheloyalroyal Right, so... these 'clappers' are going to need to be put out.

parky It's often been ignored but the reason we had hoops round the stadium was because we were playing QPR and it was hoped that they would join. But alas, they didn't which is why all the pictures of it are from the South Stand.

Just how is STAR a shambles?
I'm not currently a member but I have been. Anyone is free to join and indeed stand for a position on its board. It's a democratic organisation that pretty well represents the best interests of Reading fans 'as a whole'.
Frankly those that routinely decry its efforts and then say "I'm not getting involved" should STFU or do something about it - start a rival fans' organisation that campaigns for what matters to you. See if you can get a few like minded souls on board, and then see if you can enter a meaningful dialogue with the club (which is, of course, not a democratic organisation and can do pretty much exactly as the owner/management pleases)
There seems to be a perception, on HNA certainly, that STAR should adopt a contrary position to everything the club does. Whilst that might suit the 'standers' in Y26 it's patently obvious that would be exactly the worst way to get anything changed.
I'm not STAR's biggest fan but I'm glad they're there. Initiatives like the clappers are a bit gimp but it'll appeal to the next generation of fans. The hooped shirt survey might not make a difference but at least they tried.
