Especially when you have Club chairman and directors that we have the misfortune to represent the Club so there's no surprise to see that reflected with what they charge
and yet " It will be a season of avoiding relegation if the club dont change it's policy in a lot of things it does. Pott's on paper looks to be the right manager for us but he will never be successful without change and backing.....We need to speculate to accumulate now even if we occur some debt in our first couple of seasons..." I wonder who posted that
We forked out for my son, he was desperate and I had got a bonus that year. Booked it for Everton game which was near his birthday and two weeks before had not got any details, through so phoned to chase and they had cocked it up and overbooked. So we were given the Chelsea game, which moved due to the TV and he missed his local teams cup final. Not to be helped but it was his last year and we could not lose that sort of money. I had been once to the corporate hospitality and had a great three course meal and cakes after. The mascot day was poor in comparison, two course at most in a pokey room with nothing after. Had 4 good seats and he had a full kit, football and pendant. So, I think that lot would have been valued at £250 so we paid £450 for the experience, perhaps £200 for the privilege? We felt ripped off but he had been excited nearly all year and he had one of the best days ever, in his terms and I hope he remembers it for ever. They went behind the scenes, around the pitch, met the players, got autographs, wecolmed the players, had pictures taken and had the penalty competition. The worst thing was it was the day that John Terry told the ref to send Chico off, after a massive delay, the ref moved from no booking to a red card. It was then a non-match. Still I got to see Ngog play!!! After the game Chico and a massive entourage came into the room and we were moved out, wanted to punch him that day. My sons photo was in twice and one of the other lads did not even get his picture in it and he was crying so much that they had to let him go to the last game for free. The Chelsea mascot lived in the same town and they would not even talk to us. Another thing to note was Mourinho was the only member of the Chelsea party to talk to any mascots when they arrived in the stadium. They met Cyril and Cybil, who made a pass at my 14 year old daughter, guess I should have reported it but did not know that on the day. Excessively expensive yes, shambles yes, they tried on the day etc, disappointed with the club then but we had a great time apart from the result!
Some of us do, and some of us have had experience at running and assisting squad development, team selection, player management etc,etc at various clubs...................
