AFC Emley : Membership

Supporters are the "lifeblood" of every club, even more so at this level. It was great to see and discover that AFC Emley have a very active board/committee that will help guide them into the future, at whatever level.  Getting the younger element involved should be high on the priority list at many clubs.  Without the next generation of supporters, where will many clubs progress?  In 2013 it's almost unbelievable that clubs don't utilise the world of social media to promote their club.
