Has any of last year's ST holders been contacted direct from the Club? I have heard nothing.

It is Year Zero all over again. They are wanting to build a new fan base and the 'old fan base' is junked. Total contempt. Bertold Brecht had it right in 1953:

Stating that the fans
Had forfeited the confidence of the management
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the management
To dissolve the existing fans
And find some new ones?

Not even about their data privacy breach.

Boo hoo. What do you expect, Gus to personally come to your door grovelling? Have a word with yourselves and get behind the team, I am sure 95% of season ticket holders are perfectly aware of what is going on and will make their choices either way. Clowns.

You can grovel at the feet of Gus as much as you like............................

I have received nothing.

I do however get regular e-mails from Harlequins FC.

What ever happened to the database Gus?

Lectures on support from a guy who wears a Leeds shirt to games, priceless!

It's probably freely available on the internet somewhere.

Gus has just forgot where he posted it.

The daily disappointment at your lack of post is really getting to you isn't it? Two chomps already!

Not a word so if you don't have internet - which a number of people don't have you would not know that you could go to choose your seat today. However if you live in York, Leicester Kent, Wales, Cambridge and the many far flung areas fans come from you are ruled out as you have to be at the ground to choose your seat. Also you must expect to pay more as last years ticketing price has risen quite considerably and the concession age has been moved, so if you are like me a 62 year old pensioner you pay full price. We will have to think twice as to whether we attend games. Travel expenses are twice as much, time taken is doubled and it is far more expensive than last year to park the car so we will pick and choose when to go. Also not a word from the club in apology for plastering name and contact details over the internet. Its the same old thing year on year, to hell with the fans. I love the game and have done for over 40 years, I have supported Broncos for close on 20 years but sometimes I wonder why. And before Lister starts I have been what he calls a true supporter and travelled far and wide to see them play including Dubai and before GF rants I have paid for all my season tickets and not blagged freebies

What he said good post

88% of people in London and the South East use the internet.

Does not mean that 88% of London ST holders have an internet connection

I would suggest you have ascertained that figure from some internet data sheet but I find it very hard to actually believe there reported figure. Do you mean to say that all people under lawful internet user age and all people over 70 years of age of which numerous wont have internet access really is as low as 12% I dont think so. It relates to which genre of figures used and the way information and data is used to reflect the message stastisticians want to get across. However even it is absolute it still means there are 12% of people out there who are not getting the message and 12% of such a low crowd base should really matter to the club therefore they need to use the good old fashioned way of sending information out from the data base they managed to post on the internet so we all get information about what is happening. Also consider a vast number of people dont look at the forum pages or like me who never use facebook or twitter or pintrest or numerous other social medias

About 1.92 million who dont then?

Is one of the Gus? If so that would explain why we have had no emails from him! Stop defending the indefensible or are you now Gus's chief cheerleader? It would explain why you have changed from poacher to warders assistant!

These would be the e-mails that Gus stated would be sent out to all season ticket holders before the end of the week in the edition of League Express dated 6th January?

If people were that bothered they will seek out the information themselves rather than whine about not being contacted.

That'll be the Zimbabwean calendar 2 weeks then

Dave, of course all here are behind the team but as we only seem have 19 players signed, of which 1 is injured for the next 2+ months and 3 others are't even in the country are you really surprised? I still can't see how we'll even be able to compete if just one player is injured in the pre-season games. In other words LB don't have enough players to make up a squad at the moment.

Asking is ST holders had been contacted was a genuine question to see if anybody had received any direct contact from the club. GUS said before xmas they were ramping up operations, TR has supposed to have said they are trying to keep the fans happy. One way would be to have direct contact with past ST holders, something which in the distant past LB have done with direct mailing. But hey all is rosy stick some posts in the ground and we will all roll up, forget we are paying more for the pleasure and have had no rational reason or explanation for the move.

Is it not good manners when you wrong someone to apologise for having done so? The club apart from any other failing have been wrong in not contacting season ticket holders for posting their details on the internet. I now know the reason my PPI / Accident / Insurance calls have trebled even though my home number is ex directory and I only give it out to selective people.
Daftdad I agree completely with you, the club are wrong in their dealing with fans and it is not as though they have so many they can afford to loose the few hard core fans they do have. Lets hope Barnet are aware of GUS and put a zip on his mouth and give him the same mushroom treatment he has given us as. Going by the post from yesterday they appear to be an organised club and maybe with their handling of LB we may well survive and flourish, however I cannot see that happening with the current Ceo.

Lister under normal circumstances I would not expect a sporting club to contact individual members regarding renewal of season tickets, however this is not a normal situation. Here we have a club who completely ignored their fans at the end of the season and during the closed seasn. They need to market the club to all fans and seek new fans and this can only be obtained by ensuring the fans know they have a new ground, the colours they are playing in, pricing and season ticket issues and of course the first home game information. If you want to build something worthwhile you start from the bottom up. You apologise for your wrongs and build from there.

Due to buying tickets from Quins, Wigan, Salford and Hudds I regularly get emails about season tickets, events and game info from all of them, yet I can't remember the last email I had from the club. I'm not asking to be courted by the club every five minutes but my experience is that other clubs are trying much more to get me to spend money with them.

As a matter of interest, what do London Broncos have by way of back-office staff?

Whatever Barnet provide presumably.
