If not moaning is pointless.
Remember, in the words of Bill Parcell, you should expect nothing, blame no one and do something.I’m not particularly bothered by this whole situation, but I would be interested to see a club statement about it.The way a club deals with its PR, (regardless of whether it’s a big or small issue or whether it’s positive or negative) can speak volumes.
I’m sure the club are aware that some people are a little put out, so they ought to address it, in my opinion.0 -
Anybody bellyaching about receiving extra stuff, for free, over and above the thing you paid for just go take a long walk off a very short pier not forgetting to fill your pockets with stones

However, I don’t think it’s about the free stuff. It’s about the deceptive promotion.14 -

You seem to have missed the point. Which is that as well as being competitive on the pitch, many of us would like to see our club being run in a properly professional manner. It could start by employing a competent COO.8 -

The issue isn't what the benefits are, its the perception of being treated like half wit customers by the commercial team rather than fans by the club8

The way some are going on it would appear the club were fairly orrect in their half-wit estimation.objectivecafc said:The issue isn't what the benefits are, its the perception of being treated like half wit customers by the commercial team rather than fans by the club0 -
Perception by who though? Among our group we found it funny. It isn't costing us anything and whoever came up with the idea deserves the piss taken put of them but thats it.objectivecafc said:The issue isn't what the benefits are, its the perception of being treated like half wit customers by the commercial team rather than fans by the club
If anyone is a half wit it is the wombat who came up with the idea and the bugger wombat who signed it off.
My only sensible input would be to guess that because everything got hived off and subbed out under the previous regime the licence holders for the club shop and bars weren't over the moon about having their profit margins affected and this was the best compromise2 -
Their margins wouldn't have been affected though, surely it's just subsidised by the club.Carter said:

The covering letter with my son’s season ticket (under 21s) was blank so had no details for the free ticket, didn’t know if this was an error or that concession tickets were not offered it.0

I'll have my free ticket for the Crewe game please mate.clb74 said:All the club had to do was put the season ticket prices up by £30 after early bird.
I was humming and eee.rrring.
Looked at the early incentives.
Wasnt really bothered by them and when I see the prices weren't going up gave me extra time.
Purchased season ticket Saturday extremely happy with the price not going up.0 -

You are right, perhaps the bugger wombat could be used as a motivational aid to improve performance of the bar staff.
If you start mincing when someone asks for more than 2 drinks you are removed from the front line and shut in a cupboard with the bugger wombaf for 15 minutes

I've found this thread really interesting.
I've seen way too much moaning at Sandgaard in recent weeks, including the utterly cringe worthy tweets directed his way. BUT, I don't think Sandgaard saving us gives the club a free pass for absolutely everything.
From what I've read, the club have certainly misled us with those early bird discounts, and at present its quite hard to believe that it wasn't at least slightly intentional (it's worth mentioning I didn't get my season ticket in time to qualify for these, so this is coming from a neutral perspective).
I think our ticketing and the comms around it has a history of incompetence and this is another big let down.
Edit: I also think those saying this is a very minor issue need to think about how they'd react if this was in the RD era. It's not about how insignificant those benefits were anyway, it's more about the principle. Especially at a time when the club is pushing for greater supporter engagement.22 -
Thanks, he got the two discount vouchers just no words on the paper, I have emailed the ticket office.laurathered said:

How do we get the free bumper handbook before first game of season?1
-
After years of being run into the ground it’s obvious the Club was going to take time to get things right.
Surely this is something the Fans representative should be taking onboard & taking back to the Club so that things can change going forward.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
If you feel that strongly about it, pass it onto the Fans rep & let them do the job they’ve been asked to do.
If all you want to do is whinge on a forum? Bore off.2 -

If only 60 people are allowed in at one time to the club shop with potentially 9000 wanting to use their voucher the queues are going to be mad2
