2024/2025 Memberships

[Iain Shand]

Was just told by an employee at the club that the membership manager hasn’t been working from the home the last two days and hasn’t got back to me because he doesn’t have a work phone.

You can’t make this shit up.

There's a membership manager?

Are you not getting the message yet Mick? It's not you it's me!

 

[Meerkat]

This is the email from the club in case anyone is wondering



Thoughts?

It sounds like the usual walk around the field that the kids do each week that hubby said last week we need to get rid of because it’s stupid 😩

At least there is a pin at the end. At some point.

They tried 😟

Could be a very lonely walk around the ground.

I'll be there. The son is working (another foundation member).

Last night I thought I was just about over the Covid. Unfortunately this morning symptoms have flared again.
I have therefore decided it will be safer for all if I do not attend the Club's premier social event of the season tonight.
Have a good time, I will watch you all on the tv broadcast of the festivities.

Sorry to hear. Looked forward to catching up tonight

What are chances of the game being cancelled tonight?

Slim. We have had a couple of showers but nothing near the 100mm in a day that caused last week to b postponed

I suspect this is just another indication of the mess Piel left when he bailed and emptied the til.

I suspect he realised he was in over his head and called in "professional management consultants" (see the CCM mountain bike doc.) to run the place. They found the problem was that the football staff was not connecting with the office staff and got rid of everyone, employed expensive corporates with impressive but meaningless CVs and the place became a complete shambles. Piel realis3ed it wasn't working and walked and handed the shambles back to Charlesworth who has been working with shaun to sort out the mess and to try to find people who know what they are doing to fill the holes on a very tight budget.

This may not be exact, but I bet it is not too distant from the truth.

This event is just another victim.

Pretty much.
Peil hired 4 x +150k employees. Club could not afford it. So they had to get rid.
Unfortunately at the moment it seems staff weren't/aren't clued in on things that had partially been organised by previous staff, I'm hoping/under the impression next season should be better organised. Because at the moment. It's a little embarrassing.

Thanks Jimmy. If you are correct , though embarrassing it is better than the organisation just being a shambles without a reason.

On fan appreciation there have been some great ideas on this thread.
I particularly liked the idea of getting all the remaining foundation members together for some form of informal function/get together where we can reminisce about he "good old days".

I also like the idea of small acknowledgements for 10, 15, 20, 25year continuous memberships. It can be surprising how little it can take to swing a member who is doubtful of renewing.

If you can take these ideas to the Club when they are suitably organised I think it would be worthwhile.

All the best tonight.

No email here either 🤷‍♂️

You raise some valid points there.

Pleasant pregame and thanks to the club for organising. Guard of honour was quite cool being so close to everything
