eeladdick said:i think it is totally disgusting,a lot of fans made the extra effort to be out there yesterday knowing it was the last home game of the season, the fans atleast deserved a lap of the stadium to wish them good luck as they head in to the semi's ,but no the club doe s f a .maybe we should bring this up at the next meeting because this is no way to treat the fans many of whom are long term season ticket holders that have been there all through the good and bad times,
eelavation said:we were reliably informed that it was the decision of the CEO not have an aftermatch presentation a decision which didn't go down well with many people...I'm also pretty pissed about it.
eeladdick said:i am fully aware that there was no after match function ,but why not let the players do a lap of the pitch,a lot of people would have loved to wish all the departing players farwell and good luck,i am not bagging the players cos there have excelled the expectations of all parra fans ,especially after such a poor start.
Hellsy said:Exactly, the players were disappointed.. I agree (although it still would have been nice of them to acknowledge the fans... something they haven't done an awful lot of this year win or loose)
It is the club and the lack of care in organising anything that pisses me off.
I have a friend who attended the Raiders big last home game on Sat nite and they apparently did a moving tribute to their departing players/coach, they had a chat with all of them on the field so they could say their goodbyes and thanks to the supporters and the club and as they did a lap of honour they had a video tribute on the big screen to them. They even gave Croker the bloody keys to the city :lol: :lol:
Now this team lost as well, but they still managed to do something.
And apparently the Storm team stayed on the field throughout all the speeches and Matt Elliot thanked them for their sign of respect for his players saying that most other teams would have walked off.
Plus they had an after match function as they do after EVERY HOME GAME
