Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) One of my Suppliers has been trying to sort some Hospitality for a forthcoming home game. Meal in Dooleys, Ground Tour, and even tried to get some Balls / Shirts for a couple of kids that will be in attendance. He says it is like pulling teeth and everything seems difficult. Says he has been dealing with a certain fella - I don't want to put his name on here but souds distinctively Thai. Rather concerning but in keeping with other things and the lack of Exec Boxes occupied. A fellow poster says all the commercial / hospitality things are being neglected as all monies are to be detailed for a ground move.

31Dec1966 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I have heard tales of incompetence, inflexiblity and downright rudeness from an ex box holder I know. I yield to no one in my appreciation of what Mr Chansiri has done, and he will make mistakes, but 2 areas stand out as not only poor, but not improving. One is the club shop, and the other is the treatment of box holders/hospitality. The people I know had a box during the bad times, and spent a lot of money helping keep the club afloat. They all loved Wednesday (still do !) but were treated shabbily by the club ( I know this is second hand but he has no reason to lie). Prices were raised hugely (and they said they would happily accept a 10% increase) and no flexibility was shown nor acknowledgment of their loyalty. According to my friend, the original sales staff have left the club, and the hospitality staff (who he is still in contact with) say it is a shambles. I don't understand why loyal wealthy supporters have been treated like this, we have empty boxes at every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillsborough park No chance. I've heard either Westfield or just off the Parkway. We were offered Don Valley (site) a while back for nothing.

darra Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Like it or not it makes sense for Mr C for us to move. Hillsborough isn't geared up for modern football crowds re Hospitality / commercial side add to that poor training facilities. Its going to happen, question is when. The shirt change shows he has little time for tradition. Maybe he's changed the badge because the 70's one is easier to plagerise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlsup Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Might be an idea to get the right people and processes in place now and get the cash in the till to: a) help fund a new stadium b) avoid a mess once the new boxes are ready to be made available More to this than meets the eye I think.
