I think this message board should become a user owned co-operative. Access to join and contribute should be free and anyone can join in, but those of us who wish to can contribute to keep the board going. This would of course mean setting up a company which would need 4 or 5 m̶i̶d̶d̶l̶e̶ ̶a̶g̶e̶d̶ ̶m̶e̶n̶ ̶w̶e̶a̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶g̶l̶a̶s̶s̶e̶s̶ people to act as directors but it can be done. Most importantly of all I think OTF must retain its link to WSC (in fact I think one of the directors should be the editor). The reason why is because people seem to have forgotten where WSC came from. It came out of the dark hooligan days of the 1980's when football fans were pariahs and fanzines were their only outlet. I think OTF should be heavily promoted in WSC as an independent fans forum owned and paid for by the fans. I would contribute ?100 a year to a co-op so the ?30 contributed seems more than reasonable.
