Season Ticket

I think anyone associated with the club who reads this forum should have a very thick skin and ignore most of it. Some of the comments I have seen ,aimed at the club officials ,although not named are quite cutting.

So you believe that the comments made on here by a small number are the same thoughts and ideas of the whole fan base in general?

[Bingo]

Most of the comments are suggestions on how the club can grow and make money - nothing personal towards any individual

Sadly these suggestions are ignored and everyone suffers for it.

Maybe if the club officials read some of the posts on here then things would get done. As opposed to them learning lesson after lesson after countless [SwearFilter] ups

So Mr grey, are you saying that people shouldn't have an opinion that doesn't toe the party line? Are you saying people's views on here mean jack shit? We're not all blinkered and we all have our own point of view and even you can't deny that off the field the club have been woeful, everyone on here loves Barrow Afc and want the club to prosper, not just now when we have money but to put inplace a commercial side which will sustain us when Mr Casson pulls out which at some point he will.

"Mr Grey" is someone from the club

Yeah I know, just patronising tone he has really winds me up

Club officials do read the posts, bet they think your a right Bell End. Do you ever have anything positive to say?

That post was a bit negative.

Regarding the England games, I'll pass that onto Emma (despite what people think, she really doesn't read this forum much)

Well surely she should be? Despite its faults this forum is one of the main platforms of discission for a large section of her customer base and as such should be seen as a useful source of information surely.

Not at all Kieran, the forum really does only supply a small amount of views from the BAFC fan base. I honestly don't know where you get the "large section of her customer base" from. As Barrowaberdeen said, if she read this she'd end up getting dragged into all sorts or arguments.
The forum and its posters without doubt have had and still do have some very, very good ideas & a lot of good has come from it and I'll quit happily act as the point of contact from where people can pass things on to me which I'll then pass onto Emma, Paul, Austin or just the club in general. I've done this on numerous occasions whether that's just something I personally think the club should look into or if people directly (through PM, text, e-mail or face-to-face) ask me to, but there is a lot of totally unnecessary slagging off the club - whether that's now or under the previous regime.....

Anybody who speaks up with positive comments now just gets shouted down as being happy clappers or wearing rose tinted glasses, there are things the club could improve on without a doubt, but there are far more things right now than ever before.

I can just see us in 5 years time.

Cassons pulled the plug after throwing millions at several failed promotion attempts and has ended up bored , leaving us with nothing to fall back on due to a complete lack of preparing the club off the pitch for the future.

There will still be people on here with their heads in the sand hiding behind fake usernames defending the club. Whilst slating Fylde for "buying a football league place" whilst they have been created into a fine tuned money making business

I disagree Ian, and I think Barrowaberdeen's post actually said that its right that people from the club don't get drawn into posting on here not that they shouldn't read it. I would agree with that.

I still stand by my comment that this forum is a useful tool to gain an understanding of what potential customers are thinking/concerned about/want. Whether it represents a "large section" is open to interpretation as to what a large section actually is I guess. There are only a limited number of ways the club and its commercial manager can get an idea of what fans want though, and this forum is one of those. Its a free source of information for her to use, she'd be crazy not to.

I work with a decent amount of supporters Kieran, plus a lot of my close friends are regular attendees at HS and a lot won't bother joining or posting on here because of the constant sniping & moaning - what they see as a positive others see as a negative....they read but won't post/join, that alone (if multiplied by X amount) removes a lot of views of the fan base. That isn't a made up line to support my case - it is exactly what I hear on a regular basis.

You and me both know, it can be hard to NOT reply to someone when that person says things we don't agree with (or even against you personally) probably one reason why it might be best for Emma to not read things on here as she'd end up with all sorts going through her head instead of concentrating on the other things she's employed to do. Just imagine if she'd become involved in ALL of the recent versions of what people want out of a season ticket!
I asked Emma certain questions from the forum/posters & Ste e-mailed her, it might not have suited all but there was an outcome - eventually.

[Steelworks End]

Let us - and Emma - be grateful that we have Ian (Spirit) to sift through all the posts on this forum and feed what is relevant or constructive comment back to the right people at the club.

If PC and the Directors read much of the crap that is posted at times, they might just wonder why they bothered.
