eddie Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Capital "N", please Boycie. Tut. He used a bloody comma after 'problem' too. It would have been far more effective to have used an exclamation mark, and slightly more grammatically correct to have used the much-maligned semi-colon. Also, omitting 'that' between 'agree' and 'I' just rendered the entire message redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It was a pregnant pause, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramesses Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Sounds a bit like Alan Sugar....he is also the CEO of a successful global brand 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> In terms of pompous and patronising...when and who to? In terms of insulting...who? In terms of hunourless I don't really care...he is here as CEO not a stand up comedian! I was referring to your prizewinning post - not Sam Rush 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Not strictly related but the talk of Glick vs Rush made me curious as to whether Glick has been as ubiquitous in the Manchester press as he was in his Derby days. I can only find two Man City press releases with Glick quotes in them – one announcing a deal with Hugo Boss becoming the club’s exclusive fashion and clothing partner of the first team and the other announcing a deal with Jamie Oliver's company to provide the catering at the Etihad Stadium. Truly a different world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 He's the commercial director at Man City, hence his only quotes are to do with commercial deals. At Derby he was chief exec and was obviously a lot more involved in every aspect of the club, so there was a lot more media involvment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 i think they are confusing rebranding as Kappa DCFC megastore with selling it off. No I'm not, I went into the shop last week about a matter and was told it was no longer run by derby, but by kappa. The club had given me vouchers that were not accepted due to this, they ended up having to invoice derby, what the details are I'm unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Rush also mentioned at the forum that the lack of availability of DCFC merchandise outside the club shop was a Kappa decision. That did, perhaps, point to Kappa having more involvment than merely that of a supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC merchandise hasn't really been widely available in the past except when we were on Amazon a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the lack of availability that is pertinent, it is that it is a Kappa decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maydrakin Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Would it be useful to know the nature of the answers that Maydrakin was seeking from SR? My email in full was as follows: Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my disappointment with the club at the way it has conducted itself over the new season ticket prices. Firstly, my seat has been recategorised from B to A meaning the cost of my seat has risen by £30 from £425 to £455. This is apparently to bring the prices in line with the West Stand. I find this to be an unfair comparison, as the viewing experience is not the same. I would like to suggest that Mr Rush attempts to watch a game from an area similar to my seat (East Stand upper) to see whether he gets the same experience when he has the sun to contend with. Secondly, and more importantly, my father, who is an OAP has seen his ticket rise by over 34%! Partly due to rebranding and partly due to a stealth increase. I find no reference to the fact that Senior tickets have been subjected to an increase - your literature refers to the age adjustment, but not a general overall increase - and to penalise a group whose earning potential is at the lower end of the spectrum is baffling, especially in the current economic climate. I currently attend matches with my father. However, if he chooses not to renew, as is his current mindset, my attendance next season will rely on either Derby County or him having a change of heart, as he is far from happy regarding investing far more than he had budgeted for in a product that has been mediocre for far too many years in recent memory. I find it grossly unfair that Derby County feels able to treat it's customers in such an unfair manner - I imagine a 1 or 2% increase across the board would have delivered a far greater revenue stream than introducing a scheme where certain groups (especially pensioners and the disabled) have to subsidise the "price freeze" on adult tickets. I have to point out that Derby County's reputation as a club that takes "caring in the community" seriously has taken a downward turn. I look forward to receiving a satisfactory response justifying/rectifying these policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 fair enough, but ive also used vouchers that the club have given me jn the shop without issue. I was also told they could not issue vouchers for the shop, this came from both the shop and ticket office, they were adamant they were two separate entities now, I'm just going on what they told me, maybe I misunderstood all the people involved :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Nope they didn't - bit it could be just outsourcing running the shop and online shop not a complete sell off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well, Here it is. Everyone moans about Derby selling off the catering, club shop, etc. And we're still losing £8 a year. Wonder how much we'd lose if we did it all us sen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
