We know you're like us and you aren't simply Blue Jackets fans, you're also F.A.N.S. - For A New Start. That's why we have created a new group for fans like you, For A New Start. You can check it out at www.JacketsFANS.com.
This isn't a fan club or backers group. Those already exist. This is a fan advocacy group for those who want the voice of the fans to be heard on no uncertain terms and for the message to be delivered to ownership and management of the team that the status quo is not acceptable, that excellence is not optional.
Our short term goal is clear--effect a change of management. But our mission goes beyond that. Our mission statement is:
To restore and maintain the franchise's honor. To do so, we demand:
1. Accountability from ownership, management, players and all other parties associated with the Columbus Blue Jackets hockey franchise.
2. Excellence in all levels of the team's operations on-ice and off as sports fans and citizens of Central Ohio accept nothing less.
3. A commitment to honor the community and fans of Central Ohio from all of those involved in the Columbus Blue Jackets hockey franchise.
We have a lot of things planned between now and the end of the season to help achieve our goals and abide by our mission. Some of you may have already seen the t-shirts done by Traxler Tees (special thanks to Zoo16 from HFBoards for working on these). For those of you who haven't, check them out here. Wear them with pride knowing that your not only making a visible statement about the team's direction (which is why we went with "Stinger Green"--no way management doesn't take notice of these things) you're also supporting a local business who has done us a huge favor by selling these at the meager price of $12.
To keep apprised of all the new developments, go to www.JacketsFANS.com and like us on Facebook. Spread the word on Facebook and Twitter. If Gary Bettman thought 300 people was a "pep rally" wait until he sees what we do next!
Rember the words attributed to Ghandi:
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
They cannot ignore us any more. On to victory (on and off the ice)!
