" Who woke up the PR team? "

Who woke up the club's public relations team?

Open training session and tonight's there a player meet and greet in the Synther lounge....

Why does it take horrific season ticket sales to get the club to want to make the fans feel wanted?

Hopefully it's not too little too late eh?

Gavin,because it's finally hit home.
They really had forgot our fans.
They became big headed and pig ignorant at our club.
But I fear it's way to late.

Better late than never I suppose but it does just feel like token gestures for their own benefit and not actually giving the fans something back. PR has never been a strong point of the club... which is amazing for the football club of a capital city.

I don't know, whilst I think some of the above is true, my conversations with people within the club a few months back pretty much made it clear that the club were afraid of interacting with the fans due to backlash over the rebrand. Was made pretty clear that with the return to blue, much more focus was going to go into supporter interaction now that blue was back.

I don't doubt our poor form is playing its part mind you

VT's infamous fans as 'customers' comment along with 'what more can they do' has bitten him on the arse. The fans are the soul of any club and its those you have to look after, as they'll be there rain or shine. Basics.

There not there though because of such comments that's just it. I don't blame any one of them

And there it is.

I've been reliably informed that today's training session comprised half the squad stood in one goalmouth with the other half in the other goalmouth.

Each player then took it in turns to see how far he could lump the ball up the other end. Extra applause came from the manager if they managed to belt it without looking in which direction the ball was going.

The groundsman had no concerns about his pitch being damaged as the footballs barely touched the surface.

Obviously you weren't there
I was and I can tell you every single one of the players and slade and choo made sure every kid and grown up kids etc had a autograph and photo if they wanted ,this took well over an hour ,yes the training was little more than a warm exercise but that's not the point
My grandson came away from the ground totally buzzing with his autograph book full
I got a photo of him with every player and slade and choo
There was good banter between fans and players etc up close and personal
For some the club can do no right but in this instance it was spot on

the club should do this monthly, if that's what the public want they should without hesitation

Monthly would not work due to school time ,and mid week games
But I agree they should do more open events

I was joking mate.

a freind of mine been a season ticket holder for the last 18 years, didnt buy for the year we went up to the prem, due to new job. nothing from the club, saying , sorry your leaving us, thanks for your support etc. then, when we get relegated, he gets letters about his fantastic support, and prices for renewing his season ticket, he said as a fan since 1979, the club didnt want to know me when we went up and had 10.000 on the waiting list, now they all fecked off .they want me back

Well said

Had an email from the club after the Bolton debacle inviting me down to watch the training sessions this week.
Strangely they haven't responded to my reply.....I admit I had a few beers and they caught me in a foul mood.....

To whom it may concern.
The invitation to 'watch the boys training' is about as appealing as shoving a knitting needle through my scrotum.
A fan of 41 years and a season ticket holder for over 20 years, i can honestly say i have never seen such a hopeless, tired, demotivated bunch of losers as Mr Slades team.
I actually groan when i see the next waste of time appear on the fixture list.
Please google 'entertainment' and 'commitment'.....then give the results to the manager and players.
So to summarise, i decline your invitation.
Yours frustratingly....

Reminds me of the kind of things Rhod Gilbert says at his gigs

a training session and meeting the players, so is that free strongbow included and can you abuse the players????

seems a lot of clubs had an open training session yesterday, may be it was an allocated day for it. Everton had one at Goodison Park, 5,000 turned up

Totally and disrespectfully alienated the fans before the dramatic u-turn back to blue. Wouldn't blame anyone for not renewing next season. He couldn't give a toss about us when we were in the premier league, now the 'cling ons' have returned to their other clubs he's seeing the damage he's done in his pockets. For a billionaire who knows how business works, he's reaping what he's sewed. Disaster
