New Independent Supporters' Club

New FC Torrevieja
Independent Supporters Club / Peña is born,
‘FC TorryFans’
Following a recent meeting by supporters of FC Torrevieja, it was decided to
form a new independent supporters’ club for local football team FC Torrevieja.
 This will be the third supporters’ club / peña associated with the football
club.
The sole aim of the new supporters’ club is ‘to support FC Torrevieja’. 
The name chosen for the new supporters club is FC TorryFans (FCTF), to reflect
support for this long established and respected local football club.
Eduardo (Eddie) Manuel Cagigao Souto, the elected president of the new
supporters’ club / peña, only agreed to form this new club after
representation from many fellow fans who felt that they lacked representation
from the other peñas.  Eddie has vast experience of this type of association
both in Spain and the UK, and is seen as the ideal president to help further the
cause of these fans.
A committee has been formed for the new club / peña by supporters who have a
huge amount of experience at running this type of association, and many of the
names will be familiar to football fans:
President: Eddie Cagigao, 637869602; Vice President: Fred Griggs; Vice President
Mike Hewison; General Secretary: Alex Dunn, 637751301; Treasurer: Howard Yeats;
Assistant Treasurer: Alex Dunn; Membership Secretary: Penny Willits; Social
Secretaries: Roger & Pauline Waller, fctorryfanssocial@hotmail.com ; Website
Manager: Nick Edwards; Media Secretary: Ian Gully, fctorryfansmedia@hotmail.com.
The website can be accessed at www.fctorryfans.com and general enquiries can be
e-mailed to fctorryfans@hotmail.com
Eddie Cagigao is quoted as saying “Most big clubs in Spain have many Peñas
with varying aims and levels of support.  As a football club, the more
supporters’ clubs / peñas it has, the greater level of support it can expect
and the more the stature of the club increases.  Although this new supporter’s
club / peña is affiliated with FC Torrevieja, it will remain independent and
Non-political and all major decisions will be referred to the membership for
final approval”.
