Paramount - Urgent action for members

[Corsair]

The new codes will be sent by the end of August for Season 2022-23 Members.

Throwback to the good old days of early August when this thread started and we got the advice to cancel...ah the memories.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.

A tale of two offers

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your codes….

I’ll get my coat

Sydney members have been told nothing either.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Sydney FC have apparently sent out a member email last night saying Paramount Plus can be purchased for $75.

 

[Tevor]

Well that’s interesting, this will not go down well with those who think they have already paid for it. I wonder how the Shitney members are reacting to this offer.

 

[Corsair]

Don't think it was stated as included for them was it?

I think Melbourne Victory also advertised it as included in the membership fee.

It was and some of the people who run their forum and the official forum account itself are less than happy.

Any explanation offered as to what's happened or more mushroom management?

 

[turbo]

The more this saga drags out the more ironic the name of this thread becomes. The only urgent action for members was cancelling because nobody else can get their act together. What a joke that we’ve gone this long without a resolution.

How many member do we have? I'd assume at the top end 4000 at this stage. I think for the sake of a maximum of $300,000 that the club would do well to honour the commitment. $300,000 might buy a decent player but it will buy a deal of goodwill when other clubs (with bigger memberships) are telling the members to front up with an extra $75.

 

[FFC Mariner]

2,000 absolutely Max I'd suggest
That's memberships not members
Maybe 2,500 individuals

Nothing at all and given that their bloke runs the comp they are really pissy

If P- or APL aren't coming to the party then is there a sensible alternative to the club just biting the bullet?

They are on the hook legally for this, so even if they withdraw the original offer, they will have to honour for anyone that complains - so could still finish up honouring a fair percentage of the total amount anyway and generating a whole heap of ill-will and bad publicity for the club along the way (that negates any saving they make).

I suspect our hands might be tied though. The likes of SFC and MV would be on the hook for a bigger amount and might want to go down the path of ignoring the offer (seems bling have already shown their hand) and it would look even worse for them if some clubs were honouring the offer. So the APL may dictate that all clubs have to follow a party line. (The $75 offer is being promoted on Keepup for all clubs.)

I don't understand why APL would not just dip into the silver lake money for this, given the potential for ill-will and bad publicity across the entire game.

You still have a high opinion of the APL, they are rubbish and are driving the league into the ground with their inexperience and incompetence. They will hang the clubs out to dry.

 

[FFC Mariner]

They can get away with it while CCM are so compliant

 

[Rising Sun]

For avoidance of doubt, if I have said anything that suggests I have a high opinion of the APL, and old matey in particular, then it must have been a typo
?
