Freshfish Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 ...have you actually tried to find your Client ID on the website if you don't have your card? That could be a question. The dual-website for merchandise away from the club is a bloody mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I suppose its fair enough, but I don't particularly like the ID's only...There are questions to be asked about fans who can no longer afford to tip up, fans who can only make the odd game that renders membership unfeasible...Are fans with ID's going to address those questions?..doubt it, in the main. The question regarding recruitment should be one worth reading though, should we get an answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimisticowl Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I fully understand why MM paid off our debts at a very well negotiated price, I'm everlastingly grateful to him and for finding your good self to take us to the next level. However I'm curious as to what your reasons were to throw your money at SWFC, I'm biased and also dead chuffed to have a very wealthy owner, but why us, just an honest question?

happy bunny Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 33 minutes ago, DeeJayOne said: Let’s also consider that people will be sending an email. From their email address. Which is an identifier in itself. So why the need for IDs? I'm guessing its so that only genuine Wednesday fans are asking the questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The bugger has been here 2 years and I've supported Wednesday since the mid sixties and I can't ask a question about the club that I, my father, my grandfather and great grandfather have supported without a f**king ID. I've leave my questions till the next owner arrives Mr Chansiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be too much trouble for them. They can write complaint letters to the CO-OP Bank regarding our reduction in debt repayment, and they can write stupid letters to Wycombe Wanderers begging them to beat us but they would never write a question in an email.

Plus, there is literally NO reason why an ID is needed to simply ask a question. It is superfluous and unnecessarily standoffish and the requirement should be removed.

Largely, they don’t bother though, especially in volume. It just doesn’t happen like people seem to think it does. And - again - even if they did... so what? Seriously. What difference would it make if a rival supporter did email in a question? Genuine question. SHEFFIELD SHOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 DC should employ Lee Strafford to sort out the commercial side of the club. He had his faults, but he knew how to connect the paying public with the football club. SCH, season ticket cards etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question. I guess that I have it in my mind that there are some people loopy enough to attach racist comments given the ethnicity of our Chairman. I fully understand that they will be filtered beforehand but things like that seem to stick. A bit like Twitter or Facebook abuse. It is all too easy to hide behind an anonymous username. It could happen, maybe it won't happen. But if it does happen, I hope that it is not turned back on the genuine supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it is the reason they ask for IDs, or that it actuallywould happen, but if it did... report any genuine racism and abuse to the police. It is attached to an email, which is an identifier in itself without the need for an ID (the club have more than 150,000 emails on record in their database, so anyone can be identified from that if they were that way inclined). The club are potentially cutting off plenty of legitimate fans who don’t have an ID (or access to one) for the sake of someone who might send a silly email. It doesn’t add up and is disproportionate and unnecessary. SHEFFIELD SHOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it goes well and this sets up a genuine and beneficial path to communication between the supporters and the club. We'll just have to see what transpires!
