At the weekend we learned a lot about what #ClubTogether is. It's fans standing up against the status quo. Fans realising that, to make a difference, we can work together and get the things we want.
In the case of Jack Cox and everyone connected with Bath City FC, it was getting exposure and getting people to #PackThePark to #SaveBathCity.
Jack invited us to City, a club in danger of folding unless they sell the home they have played at since 1932.
@ball_street you guys should come to Bath City on Saturday and experience rival teams #ClubTogether to help a non league club.

At Bath, we met fans that are willing to step forward and make a difference; fans that are tune with what football should be.
Jack, a Bristol City fan, started a Facebook page to get fellow Robins to #PackThePark at Bath. Joining Jack were fans from clubs across the country - from the Bristol clubs to Luton, Swindon, Plymouth, Tranmere and Chelsea.
What we love about Jack is that he didn’t just stand by and watch. He didn’t want to accept that a local club should be allowed to die and be ignored by a media focussed on catering to a mass market. He has tried to connect with people and do something about it.
We started using #ClubTogether because we believe fans of all clubs can change things by working as one. We have a vision where the league a club is playing in doesn’t determine the quality of insight and coverage that it gets and if we club together we can change things.
But as Jack has shown, #ClubTogether is much bigger than that - use it to tell us what's important to you and your club.
