Wouldn't stop all the criticism but would take the edge off it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miruic Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Memberships- won’t change, wouldn’t be fair on those who have already purchased. I do imagine however it will change back to £50 deal next year. Radio- we won’t be letting the BBC bully us. Explained last night that most fans do have access to internet and the club are willing to support people who have difficulty accessing the service. Also spoke about wanting to offer a free trial month but need the efl to grant us permission first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Well theyveback pedalled one player sponsorship. Brought itbackdown to what it used to be. Still not doing it though as they tried to take the wee wee. Same will happen with membership. Once you wee wee people off they stay pissed off.

So can the club tell me who they will be providing computers for older fans and also paying there £15 a month broadband contracts to pay for the equipment to get the ifollow service. Like a said above very easy to create some positive PR, but the club seem very good at doing the complete opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 I wont every do this again under principle but one link is Sheff utd offering for sponsorship the other is what our club does. Note the difference one has clear details of what things costs and what you get for the money you put in the other is as clear as mud https://www.sufc.co.uk/commercial/sponsorship-advertising/ https://www.swfc.co.uk/commercial/sponsorship-and-advertising/ I would personally ask Sheff Utd who does their website and change providers because in the age of everything on line I bet we are losing a lot of money with not providing the information in a user friendly format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the answer but it seems pricey to me when you are at an event and you text you name on the screen or wish someone happy birthday it does cost the price of a new Focus.

We have enough money trouble as it is. Lol They know it won’t be popular with all. Only 92% have access to the internet (I believe this was the figure shared yesterday.) however they can offer those 92% a better service which won’t be interrupted to spend 5 minutes talking about pigs, mini pigs and dingles. (Best reaction of the night came when 99% of fans in attendance were in uproar after a fan suggested owls fans prefer to listen to the radio because we want to hear the games of the pigs,mini pigs and dingles as well as our updates. ) As as they admitted last night nobody wants to pay for something that was once free however they will be able to offer a better product to fans this way. One that is uninterrupted by rivals. A good point that I hadn’t given much thought before last night was that old fans who can no longer attend games will now be able to listen to all Wednesday games instead of just some away games. You’re right in the sense that if we want positive PR we should suck up to the Beeb and accept whatever they offer us. We have taken a riskier and bolder strategy but one that may pay off in the long run. I can definitely see more clubs following us in the future.

Guest Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 At first I was honestly raging with the clubs decision reference radio Sheffield, but looking into it and actually finding out the Ifollow package is a good set up and at its current price isn’t something I find a ‘rip off’ I’m prepared to support the clubs decision If we build on the ifollow platform and even branch out with a few of the suggestions I’ve alreday heard I do think the clubs decision in the end will be justified As far as the older generation is concerned and I’ve got the upmost respect for them.. do as the chairman says and get in touch with him and see what his offering might be. Even with good decisions you will always have a minority unhappy and I do beleive it’s a minority who genuinely do not and cannot gain access to the internet these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one has their own point of view but the club have turned down about £50,000 in free sponsorship/radio money they are going to spend money on their own service which will cost money and they are charging £45 a year to use the service so to cover their costs and not lose money on this service they will have to sell 50,000/45 = 11,111 new i-follow memberships. Now tell me will they get another 11,000+ people buy it or is this going to be another one we lose money on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 No point whatever they do some people will just keep on moaning. Too many just keep complaining without knowing the facts or coming up with an alternative solution. Let the club deal with as we cannot do anything practical about it, other than actually supporting the team on the pitch and not slagging every player who has a bad game shot etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
