It is embarrassing that our free stuff is a pink hat when other clubs get cheaper travel or ticket prices I know which I’d sooner have... Yes it does seem a bit of a waste of money whoevers it is. Without any wish to start any boring pc debates, I wonder if many will just be left on the seats? If it was the more traditional blue cap I can see people using them after but a gordy pink coloured hat ... no thank you. (Wouldn't wear a red one or red shirt either mind).

Collymore Posted 9 August 2019 Posted 9 August 2019 Can't believe people are getting so worked up over a cap! This is actually hilarious!

Why do I keep seeing stuff like this on here and on twitter. People moaning about people moaning about these caps are totally missing the point.

Totally miss my point but pick up on the grammar. That’s what I joined this forum for.

StanSP Posted 9 August 2019 Posted 9 August 2019 How much does it actually cost to produce these caps? How much is the PL fund in the first place for clubs? Can the club subsidise tickets/travel through other avenues/budgets in future? Are people getting quite worked up about it for the right reasons? (yes) Are there bigger things to worry about? (yes) Does it also come across as ungrateful in a way with how worked up people are getting? (yes)

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 9 August 2019 Posted 9 August 2019 Saw a good post on Twitter last night, the club could have used some of the fund to put on some free coaches to Southampton after it got moved to the Friday night. That would be a much more suitable use for this cash imo.

I only made a suggestion of better suited ways to spend the money the club is given? Maybe they will put something on, maybe a beer or a pie or something in the concourse for those travelling I have no idea.

They may still do? It's semantics at the end of the day!

It's not like the club have never made travel cheaper or given breakfasts or paid for a pint or whatever. People in this thread are acting like every club gets free travel for every game or whatever. Swear some don't know how lucky we are.

Swear some don't know how lucky we are. I don't think they are, when there's a demonstrable track record of clubs using their share of the fund to go good stuff like subsidise long trips etc, it's understandably frustrating for people to see use using our share of it on what is, in all honesty, tat. This is similar to the booking fee thing, people raise valid points about how things could or should be done differently or better, and they're just immediately shot down as 'ungrateful' etc.

Christ mate I don't know, I'm just making suggestions. 95% of the caps will likely be tossed away anyway, so even if we only put 500 spots on for the Saints game for example it would be useful in the long run for more people.

Genuine question and not trying to antagonise... Have you contacted the club to suggest it? Fed back to the FCC to raise it as something you feel strongly about? Fed back to Foxes Trust (I presume they still have contact with the club about certain matters?). Suppose the question is put out to all who feel strongly about this decision to offer free stuff. It's all well and good debating it on a forum and that's exactly what this place is for so I won't have a go at anyone doing so, but if enough people kick up a fuss and make a point to the club from now on, maybe they'll take more notice? And I don't mean via social media either - the person behind the Twitter is probably just some young one who has absolutely no control over what actually happens at the club
