2024/2025 Memberships

I'd be shocked if they even have the data easily accessible to identify foundation members.

 

[bikinigirl]

but its limited funds should be spent on ... retaining current ones

. unless they've already been retained for 20 years, in which case they can get stuffed?


... sorry, but your argument is a bit contradictory

They lost the spreadsheet some years ago.
No back up apparently

They must still have it, or how else can platinum members who signed up for platinum seats in season 1 get platinum seats for gold prices?
A great season 1 deal.

Its as tedious as TB pushing Mongoloid on You're Listening to What Right Now.
For twenty years you paid for entertainment and got it.
I remember at ten years foundation members were trotted out and applauded. Wasnt that enough recognition for you?
The club is running on the smell of an oily rag. If it doesn't cost anything, [like another parade] then OK, but its limited funds should be spent on getting new members, and retaining current ones. Stroking your ego should be a low priority.

Bad take IMO.

You don’t need to spend money to take care of people.

Could be some special like a training session or special signing session after the last game. Something were the players thank the 20yrs members.

It’s unfortunate that club doesn’t give a shit.

I am with mick. Sounded personal. No need for it.

No i am not a 20yr member but can understand why it’s important to them

Sounds like a community club idea. Never catch on.

f**king hell why even is this a conversation? Because some c**t booted Shaun and the best of the staff for corporate shills and gutted the soul of the club.

Not completely though, we still have some foundation members who've been through thick and thin from day one. I'm not one of them, but anyone that has a true addiction for football and a true love for THEIR club, you know, a club made up of MEMBERS, who have camaraderie and belonging will understand that this dedication, this invested TIME and money does deserve recognition.

And if, as a business, you don't recognize this dedication and commitment then all you have is a product you sell and if you treat your customers like that then you are simply a business selling a product, not a community club.

In such light, if your product turns to shit you can expect your "customers" to treat your product with the level of respect it deserves and not with their passion. Someone at the club needs to man up and give these guys a t-shirt or a badge or a pin or f**king whatever, if you're so poor then an announcement saying thank you at the final game, something.

@Jimmy @priorpeter can you pls have a word and help make something happen? The decline from such a peak is soul destroying, surely we still have a heart beat and some respect for those who've stood strong from the start...

It would be interesting to know how many of us are left.
