The Rumours Thread

redvdave,
You would think clubs would covet rusted on members for a fan base and want to build on it . Whilst i was in sydney i would go to all events at kogarah and even to those at win . Now its just too expensive for me and just watching players on the fence is nowhere as good as having them mingle with fans in a function room . Is steve edge still involved with these functions ?? Dave whats wrong with having more fan days through the season and have as you said a couple of "better" functions for the long term members along with the normal captains run where you watch from the seats and I agree re our social media department needs to be a lot better with reporting on lower grades players etc

That reminds they used to always do a meet and greet for interstate games it was a way of thanking the fans for travelling such a far distance (or acknowledging those who live interstate and don't get to see their team on a weekly basis)

Sadly though the club don't know how to capitalise on a good thing, there's countless of examples I could use but one that'll always stick in my mind is going to Saints leagues club the following day after the grand win and everywhere was packed the bar, the downstairs merch area everywhere. Unfortunately though service was unbelievably slow a patron asked how come it's so slow and taking so long to get service? To which they replied we didn't think it would be busy today. Yep fans waited 30 years for a grand final win and they didn't think people would come the next day to celebrate absolutely embarrassing.
