I'm a member of Great Western Grecians which is the supporters group for City fans in Bristol and the surrounding area. Although at one point we had around 25 members, we're currently down to about 15, of whom only about 10 of us are active members.
I've seen mention of a few other small groups, think I've seen a Yorkskshire grecians and a Midlands grecians in the past (I may have made these up!), and I wondered how many small groups there may be?
Whenever there has been a call for finacial support from the club, we've never failed to answer that call, and in the past we've for example paid for one of the TV in the Centre Spot and chipped in for repairs at the Cliff Hill. However with such a small membership we've sometimes had to rely on the generosity of individual members to meet the funding target. Right now we are trying to support the 'Kit out the Cliff' campaign, but there are only a couple of items we will realistically be able to fund and they may already have been purchased by the time we have worked out how much we can fund. So it struck me that if all the small groups could club together, we might be able to fund the more expensive items on the list.
This is just my idea at present and I haven't yet discussed it with the other GWGs, but if you are part of a small group, I'd be really interested to hear from you.
