Taking the Michael

Quoted from chaos33

This.

Why don't people get out for a walk and an ice cream or summat?

Yeah, Appleby's has reopened now so take a nice drive out to Conisholme and enjoy a nice rum 'n' raisin 99.  

Quoted from Cloudy

Are the club taking the urine out of you and I, the fans?

Many think the fact that season tickets renewals are not available yet is crazy. Not top of my list of priorities but as a minimum, shouldn't the club or even the Trust explain why? May be a perfectly good reason but communication seems to.be going back to the dark days again.

Potentially an excellent signing announced at 7pm last night, but many knew he signed a couple of weeks ago. What are the club hoping to gain by these cloak and dagger, control  freakish shenanigans? Boost for season tickets sales? Really? Is there anyone who will get a season ticket because we signed an untried kid who wouldn't have been buying a season ticket anyway? If this is the extent of our PR and Marketing set up we are more amateur than the sternest club critic ever thought.

This charging for the charity game crap. The club announced they didn't know it was for charity? Really? It was on the Official website for god sake. The Trust chairman seemed to back up / support the club, which is again increasingly concerning.

Others have said the Trust appear to be just an arm of the club rather than the voice of their membership.

If the club communication on the above, and more, matters is so bad, shouldn't the Trust be questioning, in public, rather than the softly softly in house lobbying that nobody ever hears about?

Enjoy the sunshine. UTM

Does this stuff really matter that much?

Really struggling to understand the point you re making... Theres nearly 11 weeks till the season starts and as the poster above points out you can simply pick up the phone and buy a season ticket, its not a secret as to where they sell them. Just because the club hasnt had a big campaign doesnt mean they re taking the urine out of you. Do you think Mars are taking the urine because you havent seen an advert in a while? you can still find a bounty at the local corner shop...

As for this payment for the charity game, thats even more stupid to complain about. Any way you look at it someone is going to have to foot the bill. If you want the club to pay for the stewards, electricity, etc for that day then dont complain when the money for that comes out of the wage budget, because it has to come from somewhere. But people will because everytime anyone is signed or appointed its "boooo cheap option" or i cant beleive the club is being so tight as to release A Player... Or is it that you expect people to give up their whole saturday to work without being paid, cos thats a bit excrement.

It genuinely seems with GTFC, and i wonder if this exists with other clubs, that some of the fans will take every single opportunity going to "have a go" at the way its run regardless of how silly they make themselves look.

Great shout Les  

What? It's the end of May and they don't already have season tickets on sale!? How dare they!...Or didn't they announce they were sending out renewal packs to holders and if you want to apply one you can email them and have an application pack sent in the post?

I think somebody needs a life beyond the fishy until things pick up steam again in June football wise. Some people seem to have this obsession with wanting to be involved in the inner workings of the club.

Spot on Kris2 is there really any need to moan about season tickets oh well some people just cant help it lol.

Thought this thread was about the Liverpool fans' petition

They really are a "special" set of fans.

The only thing is that if tickets were already out then town would be receiving money now, I would have thought always better to have money in the bank.

MONDAY JUNE 5TH 9.00am

Tickets will be on sale  that gives you 2 months to buy before 1st league game.

What's the rush ?

The club have a long used system of earlybird discounts for season ticket purchases. My personal financial circumstances mean that I leave my purchase to the last possible day to still benefit from the discount. I suspect I'm not on my own.
The information on price was out there early enough. I honestly cannot see the issue.
With regard to the position of chairman of The Trust different people bring different skills to the Trust. I and several other members of the Board wouldn't want the role of Chairman, preferring to work in the background trying to do a bit to make the hobby of supporting GTFC a little bit easier for those who are also our members.
The decision by the Trust Board to appoint Terry to the post was not influence AT ALL by GTFC.
