ladyram Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm concerned that a medium ranking DCFc official will get hauled over the coals anyway without further egging on. Not saying he/she doesn't deserve it but no need to go OTT. My apologies to Joe for MY over-reaction. I don't think this reaction is OTT - if an official gets pulled up for giving Nick a rubbish reference, it's right IMO. Everything Nick's done and tried to do, he's gone through the proper channels first with the club. Nothing underhand and all above board. So my question is why the bad reference? I can't figure that out if the person involved has been included in all what's been said. Nick's not at liberty to post what he said but I'd be interested to hear his reasons.

Donny Ram Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Nick Maybe the difficulty is that the club have to provide a signed testimony and cannot personally vouch for your situation at the Blackpool game. Possibly they are unable to sign a statement not knowing the exact situation and facts, I doubt they have given a negative statement but have just been unable to provide a testimony. This situation is no different to when asked to provide a reference for someone you don't know too well, professionally you have to decline providing a reference, this doesn't mean the person is bad but just you cannot sign off on something of such a legal nature without being able to say 100% it is correct. Only a thought Nick, as I am sure I join many other fans that would say from the posts on this forum that you seem a sound guy. It might be that further discussion with the club might enable you to understand what has happened and more importantly why it has happened. I hope you get this sorted out as it would be in everyones best interests, it seems DCFC are being dragged in to an incident initiated by Blackpool (bar) stewards...!!!

ladyram Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I would have thought Nick's character reference would have been from the clubs own opinion of him and not what went off at Blackpool? I'm struggling to find a negative. Is there a hooligan element involved? No. Has he addressed the club in the right way? Yes. Has TG & NC ever said anything negative? No, Cloughy has even praised the lads before if I remember right? Nick could confirm that if it's true. Still struggling 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wacko:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said though, from Nicks posts on this forum, you would be inclined to support him but if asked for a signed testimony it is unfortunately a different sort of issue. I'm not saying this explanation is correct but I'm just trying to look at this pragmatically to find reason for what has happened. The best course of action would still be to talk with the club about this matter to try and find a solution. Maybe the club can arbitrate in a meeting with a representative from Blackpool, after all this is what initiated the problem. Again, only offered in good faith as a potential remedy to the situation.

therams69 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks for all the support guys... What I can say is...... The refefence I asked for was to a particular person. The reference did not need to be signed. The reference required had nothing to do with Blackpool (just about me) and what there opinion was on me as a person.

Dangerous Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 its just another instance of the club not giving a toss about the fans again.They will be in contact with you in a couple of months....when its time to renew your season ticket.

froggg Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The club will respond favourably if more than a few hundred express they're concerns and questions the clubs commitment to the fans by voicing that they may/will not renew.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
