team card

[Lako42]

Every person who recieves one of these cards should send it back, boycott the club shop and not renew their season ticket next season. it is the only way this ****ed up joke of a club will ever listen.

it's not that we dont want to buy shirts or get season tickets to help the club, they have just made it impossible for us to do so.

this club is a joke and im being serious when i say it is time for a major boycott of the fecking thing

Does this mean that the FT can only deal with one issue at a time?

I have often considered joining the FT instead of just moaning about them, but I really do feel my money would be wasted if this is the situation

No, but the guys at the helm of the club are rather occupied with the takeover currently and we need to raise it at that level next.

Of course, sorry, I didn't look at it from the clubs perspective. They weren't too busy to introduce the bloody scheme though

Now that was delegated and look what happened as a result.....

Giving one days notice was just asking for trouble, can't understand how anybody in their right mind would have made that decision.

Reminds us of the time Paul Mace wouldn't tell the Fans Forum that it was going to be a one year kit deal a few days before it was launched.

the idea would still be the most retarded idea i have heard in a very long time regardless of the notice given.

Can you just tell me how anyone earning such a wage can not see this idea is utter toss, they do not deserve the possition or the money.

Seems to me that there is nothing wrong with the concept - it's the quality and the timing.

If a change like this is to be made it should be between seasons so people can assess the value of the ST package.

You could then offer 2 ST options, with and without membership (say for £10 extra instead of the normal £15 membership fee)

The number and range of partners giving points should be sufficient at the outset to make it an attractive offer, perhaps by doing a joint scheme with other clubs in the area to make it more attractive to retailers

That way the whole thing can be presented as part of the whole Season Ticket offer, with the customer being given a wider range of options.

No doubt a lot of us would still find something to grumble about, but it would be within the normal range of pre-season moaning instead of alienating people mid-season

I think this was a Jo Bucci initiative - she no longer has the position or the money - not really difficult to see why, is it? It's just a pity that she didn't take her ideas with her.

I think that any concept which replaces a 10% discount with a 2% discount is sure to bring forth problems.

The concept of reward points, not what they have come up with or the numbers. If it was a decent scheme (with more - and more immaginative - ways of building up points) some people might actually prefer it.

But it isn't - it's a badly thought out con-trick and they've launched it in the midst of the takeover furore hoping that no one will notice

And as no-one is prepared to come out publicly to denounce it (Foxes Trust, Cliff Ginetta etc.), they will get away with it scot free

 

[Naughty Fox]

I am not sure if this has already been said (not read a large portion of this thread), but I do not understand the urgent need to launch this when A. we might have a new owner in a few weeks, B. they have not yet got the backing of local outlets to earn points and money for the club and C. did not realise the backlash that they would have from ST holders?
I am not against the scheme at all if it was launched as an addition to the 'perks' of the ST, it just seems to me that us season ticket holders are being taken more and more for granted. First it was tickets for the Walkers would be around the same price as Filbert St, b*llocks!, then it was tickets would not be going up, yes, but the games reduced. Needing to buy your ticket earlier and earlier to ensure you got 'your' seat (must admit I was expecting a buy this christmas campaign this year), yes the discount offer was a good idea but it still felt like having a gun to your head. Now the last perk is being taken away, our 10% discount. Overall the value of having a season ticket has been greatly reduced, why would you buy a season ticket, especially with the discounted tickets that are being made available and the ease of purchasing them via the web or email?
The season ticket will no doubt still be cheaper over the season, but the margin is being reduced season after season. Since I have had a family I do end up missing a few home games and in the past it wasn't a problem, but now how many games can you miss before the season ticket becomes more expensive?
I have had a season ticket for 11 years and this is the first time I am really considering not re-newing, not because of the dross on the field (I am mad enough to follow them anywhere), but because I am fed up of being treated like a mug.

Rant Over.

Are members still going to have their 5% discount?

I'd be just a tad annoyed if they were!

Seeing as we fought for a discount for members, I would imagine so.

And I would if we weren't!

 

[Leesoh]

The cynic in me is seeing the club deciding that people would be more inclined to take up a membership as well as a ST to take advantage of the discount. It was discussed at a Fans meeting, and we definitely said that people would not like it and there would be a backlash.

Not much of a backlash really - few people moaning on messageboards, FT 'too busy' to even bother releasing a statement, everyone preoccupied with the takeover/relegation battle

They must be laughing their cocks off

I sometimes get the feeling it's all a waste of time. They ask us for our opinion, we give it, and then they go and do what they want anyhow.

It's worse than that, Lee - they quote the fans forum as proof that they listen to the fans and are an open club who cares (despite the fact they ignore it completely). It's existence is part of the problem, I'm afraid

And as no one is capable of openly challenging them elsewhere (such as in the media) they get away with it completely

It's almost back to the good old days when Cliff Ginetta was the "voice of the fans"
