I spoke to Jason today, and put forward my (our) concerns.
The seating will stay the same as this year. With them holding the back three - four rows. They will restrict Ticketec from placing other supporters groups from being in or around Bay 72
The management will not be dropping the price, and claim that it is in exchange for the (crap) merchindise.
Hats and scarves will be handed out whether you like it or not.
it was made mention of our dissapointment at this years BLUE shirts.
Supposedly the price of our tickets were raised due to other members complaining about the rate of our concession.
BULLSH*T!!
Don Furner is a compleate wanker and is shortening the life of this club.
The work that the Raiders Army have put in has resulted in:
- A re-established and recogniseable supporters group
- The obvious improvemnet to atmosphere at both home and away games
- Orginised buses to just about all games this year (whether the club put one on or not)
- Boosted membership numbers (for us) from 5 to 25, to around 55 this year
None of this seemed to make any difference to the price as "our good mate" Don Furner has put his foot down!
I really have to question what the marketing team of the Raiders think that their responsibilities are. At the same time, I really have to question what overall Raiders management measure their performance with. How many complaints they get? How many supporters they can lose in a season?
The number of complaints have become frequent enough for the Raiders management to ask that we consolidate our concerns as one submission.
If you have a particular idea / issue to take to Raiders management, please email them through to myself or Woodgers by the end of this weekend, and we can submit in one go.
Or alternatively, flood the Raiders office with multiple seperate ideas and complaints, costing unknown amounts of admin costs. Your choice.
