Quote ="C.o.C_is_Back"Due to last seasons memberships the club LOST £40k with the supplying the ruck sacks and the stuff in them
add to that they LOST £10k on not charging admin fee's for the people who payed for their season tickets via the monthly plan too.. What would you prefer? A) a ruck sack or B) another decent player that the club could have? I know that i'm not bothered about a ruck sack but would like to see a good forward on the pitch.'"
I would prefer a peace of plastic with bronze member printed on it, or even a piece of card with bronze member printed on it, I don't attend because I don't have the time or work, I dint attend due to illness, something what isn't going to get better with time, but more the opposite.
I don't want a box with a beanie & a pen, none of that matters to me in the slightest, all I wanted was to still feel part of the club we have supported for 70 years, & myself 40 years, respectively.
Last season I bought the memberships for me, him & her indoors even though they wouldn't ever be used, we gave two away to be raffled of for the hospital ward I frequent, & the other we used the membership card for when we went to the shops or restaurants, it looks like next season will be the first time I haven't been a ticket holder.
You could say that I have thrown money away for the years I haven't been able to go to games, I didn't mind giving the club my £50 x 3 because I will always be a fan, but now everything is on hold for me I cant afford the full season ticket when I wont be attending, I got a call from Mr Gill & he told me they would be doing something along the same lines as this year because it was a great success, but just having a full season ticket isn't along the same lines, it's back to were we was before we started the membership scheme.
I still see the majority of home & away games due to the DVDs the club sells & nothing will change there, nor will the merchandise I buy, but the season ticket will be given a miss unless the club comes out with something later on, but for now I wont be buying, that's £150 plus what we bought for other family members, the boxes mean nothing it was the membership what counted.
