We are the club, they simply run it But we are the club 

 

I think the fan groups did a great job getting some consessions on this 

 

I can't abandon my club over a £25 charity donation , The club is run by idiots, but it's our club and ny club needs me next year 

 

But I have no problem with true fans being afforded the opportunity to get their hands on a ST, so it all works out fine in the end 

No one is abandoning the club.

We're kicking off because we're being charged £25 to keep a piece of plastic that works better than their NFC system; just so the club can control entry into the group more tightly. 

 

The charge has been kept the exact same just changed the wording of "where it goes" to push people into the "can't argue against the VS charity".

Passing the money to charity is not a concession!

That concession is a bit like just getting kicked in 1 bollock rather than 2.

[Bayfox]

Unfortunately yes. X3

 

I'll take a very small win that my emails to the club may have had some impact that I'm now not having to pay for the lads.

 

But still it's a pisstake my 3 others are gonna cost 75 notes extra

For the ones that have said no does that mean you will go mobile or you will not renew your ST?

The apathetic acceptance of fans being stepped all over by the club blows my mind

Having mobile ticketing is not the same as being stepped all over.

They really don’t. They wouldn’t care a jot if you didn’t renew next season as they would sell it 5 minutes after it becomes available.

Did the topic of data privacy come up when FT/UFS/LCFCSC met the club? If so, did the club give out any info about what companies they’re using to manage data gained from use of mobile tickets, whether the club/the e-ticketing company might sell this data, or anything else beyond what’s on the club’s current privacy policy?

I believe my club needs me, it's my Club, the owners never get to decide or control that, and my loyalty and commitment to my club might not carry weight with the owners but it carries weight for me

Im a scrotum half full type of fella and can and will roll with the kicks

Superb work by the Supporters Club comparing us to Premier League clubs policies. Only one other club outright charges for the use of physical cards and that's a £10. Other clubs have done a variety of trials and encouraged incentives. Other clubs have more flexible sharing policies. 

 

It's great to see the fan groups working together on this and calling it out - even now with the latest line the club are taking.

Im not even sure strong arming the money out of people by saying its now a charity donation is kosher.

Me neither, also you don’t actually know what you are buying, does this card last a year or further, will there be further payments required in the future, what happens if you lose the card or it stops working

 

Couple of Separate questions relating to cards:

 

will members be getting new cards? Will they be asked for a “donation”? 

How will the STH/Member discount work in the shop store?

It was not raised in the last 2 meetings, however the Foxes Trust has raised a series of specific questions with the club about this topic, as we have a number of compliance concerns, the club have acknowledged and have promised to come back to us

Yeah, I started at the last home game so I’ve already made £6.50 back.

Hoping many more do the same. Plenty of local pubs/bars/shops that could use the business.

 

The blues bar (or w/e it's called) and the bar/restaurant just by the Citroen garage all within a stones throw of the ground and charge less for better pints. That's naming 2 just by the ground, there's tonnes more between city centre and the ground that could be used

The (bar)stewards told me I couldn't take a sandwich and a drink in with me earlier this season after having checked my sons bag. Basically either eat their shitty food or starve....

That’s pure 👉🙄👈 

Not Jim’s fault but that’s awful from the club. At a time they need to listen they’ve just shut you out.

To refer to a statement is what you do when the press are hounding you, not to supporters.

 

Until those at the top move on things will continue this way. Comms / PR disaster.

It's crap that the official line is you can't take food in but apart from P and L1 next to away fans, we are never searched and regularly take in a bottle of pop or water.  But in truth it's a sorry state of affairs if people can't go two hours without eating or having a pint.  We are there to watch football.  There are countless burger bars and chippies within 10 or 15 mins walk of the ground and a number of pubs too.  Have a bite there at 2:15 ish...I'm sure people can make it til 5pm without boozing or eating. It's over priced crap anyway.  I'm always amazed that people miss kick off or 5 or ten mins of either first or second half for the sake of a pint of sh*t lager.
