Doubt there’s a dedicated travel company that’d take that on, much less a football club. Crikey. Rotherham Owls are taking a coach 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as such you have become the new Chairman and have to arrange a coach for Friday and a pub to stop off at. Cheers Mr Chairman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) They did £1 pukka pies before 2pm on Saturday kick offs and 6:45 on midweek kick offs around 2015. I don't think we can ask for much more. Edited January 23, 2020 by flo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it got me trying to remember if we as owls supporters ever had that or are we in danger of being taken for granted.... Thoughts? yes - do you want a 10 year season ticket?

PortlandOwl Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Clubs have done free coach travel before. Even a free scarf would be a nice gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcx666 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 SO in other words you want the woman from the Kop to go to away games to make you feel wanted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Things like free cups of tea, pies, travel are not bad ideas. But at end of the day the best thing any club can do to get into its supporters good books is have a winning side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acquiescefc Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Better be a free half and half scarf on my seat or I'm getting back on the plane to Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striggy Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Well I for one applaud all those who will be making the effort, would have loved to have gone had it been a Saturday still. Any way I will be watching on the tellybox with a bottle of wine, and if I can hear our lot coming over well will give a hearty well done and raise my glass.

farlego Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I don't think we as a club are in a position to give out freebies atm. I think those clubs giving stuff away ,free travel etc are mostly rich premier teams. A couple of years ago the club put out free scarves for the first game of the season and people just went round holding them. Going to games is a choice, not compulsory. I for one expect nothing in return except 100% commitment from the team, although that appears to be lacking atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Of course our support is taken for granted. Sell out almost all away games 20 thousand season ticket holders While we have been garbage for the majority of the last 50 years!! We have a real loyal, hardcore, passionate set of supporters that far too often is the one thing that makes you proud of the club Should the loyalty be recognised and rewarded? Possibly Will the club ever do it? Nope!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I must admit. With the early renewal date, I do wonder what the incentive is. Don’t get me wrong I’ve renewed anyway, and will continue to do so until i’m unable to. But it would be nice if us long suffering fans, who renew without question year after year, got a little something by way of a good gesture every now and again - a discount on a shirt, a voucher or a key ring or something. Anything really, to show they care about their fans. I’m not normally someone who’s bothered about this sort of thing, but It’s grated on me recently. There isn’t a great deal of gratitude towards fans at S6 anymore. Go to S6 on a match day and everyone from the stewards to the bar staff are miserable and basically just grunt at you. And then you watch the team put in a drab performance without much effort, and I wonder why I do it week in week out. Dont get me wrong, I probably wouldn’t give a crap if we were sat at the top of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 We've sold 3000 but only 1800 or so will turn up. Quite a lot will have bought cheaper tickets to get 10 priority points with no intention of attending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
