Wolves set up a Worldwide supporters club <https://www.wolves.co.uk/fans/supporter-clubs/> with a proper employee to run it, rather than just voluntary. It's run by someone how did this for Villa and is a Villa fan. It probably has no bearing on it but it's nice to blame anything that goes wrong on him being a Villa fan. This was set up last year and invited worldwide fan clubs to apply. The Villa fan's name is Alan Perrin, so Rog calls his Reggie after Reggie Perrin.
There is a vicar called Jeremy Tonks who has been very active with us and is a terrific chap. He has registered Bundanoon Wolves as a separate supporters club. Bundanoon has a population of 2,700 and I suspect he is the only Wolves fan. However it's up on the Wolves website alongside Berlin Wolves etc. I find that amusing. We could all register our local towns and have our own club. A chap called Karl also registered New South Wales Wolves and got accepted. He got in touch with us and offered to step aside when he 'found out' we existed but later decided he wouldn't do that and Reggie Perrin also told him not to. He lives up near Rog about 300 miles from Sydney. I contacted Reggie and said it was weird that we have a club with 30 members been going for 30 years and aren't recognised but a 1 member club that started last year is. He said he couldn't change it and suggested we become 'Sydney Wolves'. The link above says that clubs should have at least 20 members, so I don't know where that leaves Karl. I least he gets all of his club members to give him a hand-shandy in the shower in a morning. Rog and I spoke about it and decided we didn't want to change the name. I went back to Reggie and said it seemed heavy handed to tell us what we could be called, who could run it, and the area we were allowed to cover after 30 years. I'm still waiting for his response, which I suspect won't come. I copied Karl in that email and he got the shits about it. So here we are. Wolves made a mistake by not reaching out to the existing supporters clubs, for example by using the Mol Mix list and instead started as if not clubs already existed. Maybe we should go above Reggie's head.
