leomoore1975 Posted 12 October 2012 Share Posted 12 October 2012 well, I have been emailing the club regularly and keep getting the usual replies, this is the latest one at 10am today: " Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we are still awaiting information to be released regarding memberships and hope to have some information released in due course. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused." Thats clearly a response from a script, its a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoWW Posted 12 October 2012 Share Posted 12 October 2012 Ah, so it's gone from "in the next week or so" to "in due course". Well done LCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 13 October 2012 Share Posted 13 October 2012 Being a cynic, I am expecting packages to be announced after fans can use their packages to get tickets for the Forest and Derby games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 13 October 2012 Author Share Posted 13 October 2012 Well the club have already lost out on my membership money! I'll stick to the fans fixtures and the odd cheaper game. They've alienated a lot of people like me with their amateurish running of the club. Seriously how many clubs don't have a membership scheme?! couldnt agree more, why oh why are the club treating us like this???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 13 October 2012 Share Posted 13 October 2012 Being a cynic, I am expecting packages to be announced after fans can use their packages to get tickets for the Forest and Derby games. They're both on telly aren't they. I think a lot of people would've saved their voucher for a game that isn't. If they had sold memberships at the start of the season I'd have bought a 10 game package. Now if I/they bother at all it'll be a 5 game package so if they think they're being clever they're not.

Foxfromburbage Posted 15 October 2012 Share Posted 15 October 2012 Its not good ! my son and I have been STH for many years and circumstances changed so I would have purchased a membership this year. They seemed too bothered questioning me about my son being a valid student for Birmingham tickets when I ordered them rather than looking at securing more sales of memberships. This pd me off ,,, its a good job NP is putting in a shift otherwise the club would be struggling even more with the poor marketing especially during this economic climate.

I might be naive but i honestly think if the club were marketing things better and making an effort with the fans that it could put a couple of thousand on home gates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox in exile Posted 20 October 2012 Share Posted 20 October 2012 We live in Dorset and have been trying to find information from the Club for 3 months re membership 2012-13 and have been really disappointed re their response-ie no response!! We also struggled re first game at Walkers (I cannot call it KP!) to collect ordered tickets, after queuing for 20 mins in 2 queues only to find the tickets hadn't been allocated!! After a 3.5 hour drive- not impressed! Am I the only one who feels the heart has been removed from our ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what your problem is with the Walkers/KP they're both sponsorship names and are as legitimate a name as each other, Walkers is a Leicester company owned by Pepsi and KP is owned by our owners, I can't see the big difference myself. If you have a problem you should call it Filbert Way or Raw Dykes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AoWW Posted 21 October 2012 Share Posted 21 October 2012 When they do finally get round to releasing membership details there's zero chance I'll be buying one. At the start of the season, yes, but not now, weeks into the season... they can **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah but you forgot about the big "Unique Selling Point" they been racking their brains to come up with since May 2012. They've cracked it now with 'Watch the players train' package that will make up for all the lost sales and the disillusionment of the fans.
