    Baffling that some people seem to be more interested in receiving recognition for their support than anything else.

    Furlough, covid and staff isolation.

    Possibly. I just think so things right. If there’s a job to be done then why still have staff on furlough?

    Truly baffling, I can't stand some of our fans. They probably won't be there on Saturday, often find on matchdays the fans who are there always get behind the lads. Unlike the social media posters who claim to be uber fans.

    It might not be SAFC staff on furlough though, it could be suppliers of suppliers for what SAFC need. A simple mail merge in MS Word for 25k addresses is easy but if the building where you print them out (Black Cat House for example, or another sub contractor perhaps) has nee toner in the printer because they can't get a delivery due to lack of staff at the haulage company, for example, until Saturday then SAFC need to make a decision. Send them out without frills in the for the game or piss people off with an e-ticket and give them a thank you letter next week.

    RTG is packed full of mags and wind up merchants. The mods over there are a spineless bunch and let some people get away with all kinds of bad behaviour. Its as bad as Twitter and that is saying something as Twitter is awful.

    I still have faith we will get what we need, we've been professionals at buying the wrong players for the wrong prices and wages for years so let's just be patient and see where we go under KLD and Speakman.

    Surprised the barcodes have stuck their head above the parapet. Burnley rolled them over today and, according to tertle spert, they are the only Prem the yet to make a signing for the first team squad. They have their own problems to concentrate on.

    I get that as well, but people bought them ages ago. There’s surely been time to prepare. It’s not the letter that’s arsed people. It’s just the poor standards. It just looks like a northern league club.

    It's definitely the letter that's hacked some folks off. There are people posting Stokes, Salford's and other ST deliveries on Twitter.
    RR are fuming... <laugh>:emoticon-0136-giggl

    I saw some post on social media, some lad shared it from Twitter.

    This bloke said game was behind closed doors but he got an invite through his brothers work. Bruce took a 5 - 10 minute phone call during the match, about his car.

    I don't care if it's true or not it didn't half wind the mag who shared it up and I assume many others. So its gold for me.

    I’m not arsed about a letter personally, some may like it I suppose that’s the reason they’re there. I just want us to do things right and be professional For me sending Season Tickets in an empty envelope just didn’t look professional. I thought it was just standard practice. It is a business at the end of the day.

    i can't help but sympathise with the ticketing staff, they're obviously under the cosh a bit, but it would have been so easy to put a single covering letter out across all platforms, simply saying sorry we haven't had time to send out anything but the ticket, we're doing our best under difficult circumstances, please bear with us. This on twitter/facey/instagram/safc.com etc would have done the job without much effort, and kept the whiney whingers happy.
