hintonsboots Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 So the OP started this thread about midday today, and then 4 hours later we have an update from the club via JP. Mel must be reading the Forum ????? Well done Mel, can you get me on the list for the next Breakfast meeting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I alluded to the fact that I agree with that viewpoint. But that doesn't necessarily need to be in the form of a public announcement. In your position, (which fortunately for me, I'm not) I'd much prefer to receive a missive discussing the details on a more personal and specific level. Hence my comment "I'd struggle to argue against anyone in a position to demand info re long overdue refunds..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, brother. Etc, etc! I did state it would be easier for them to make the public announcement (Therefore my intention being to infer that personal and specific contacts would be both impractical, and unlikely). If my initial response didn't make it clear, and just to clarify therefore, I do agree that anyone waiting for refunds have been dealt with somewhat shabbily, and that they should at least have been updated more than they have been. (EDIT TO ADD: That doesn't necessarily require a public announcement, despite that being the simplest and most likely process. The details of the refund are between club and individual customer. I, as a fan, have no right to expect to be informed of how the club is arranging YOUR refund.) Like I say, I wasn't looking to argue your every word. Your OP was picked out for that very reason... it was the OP, and it set out the subject to be discussed. I assumed that was the whole point of the thread? EDIT: ... And I'm not sure there are 12,000 currently awaiting a refund? Some of us took the 20/21 discount option... not that that is relevant to the point. ??

Call it brand management, PR whatever, but the club has to manage it surely. As well as being our team it is a commercial enterprise I’d guess the noise here and on twtter was what led to the december holding statement and that this thread played a part in the call to Percy today.

Some of the stuff on twitter is venomous and someone appears to be trying to set up some sort of protest group on there. Talk about over-entitled. I am staying here where we are all pussycats.

Reminds me of Notts F fans chanting "Get out of my Club" to the late Mr Doughty who'd spent circa £80million against their few hundred quid-cost of a season ticket.

The points you made were all post this - my opinion was if the lines of communication were well managed something should have been said well before now rather then retrospectively as a reaction.
