Sam's Original Ambassadors

Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:39 pm

A few years ago sam Hammam introduced the original Ambassadors Club in order to raise cash during a financial crisis possibly more serious than the one recently witnessed. In return, members (of which there were only a couple of thousand)were given certain privelges that included priority tickets for away games and home cup games, shop discounts and, of course, an obligatory members badge (probably worth a couple of bob on eBay nowadays!! :lol: )

Were you an original member?? If so, do you think that you have been 'forgotten' by the club for putting yourselves out at a time when your club needed you the most?? Do you think the current Ambassador scheme is a bit of a gimmick, given the numbers of people included?? I know I do....

Nope, not at all. Same privileges as before except I now also have a season ticket price guarantee over the next 5 years too.

Yea I was one.....

I used to like it back in the early 90's when there was sliding scale of ticket pric.

I think it was 6 quid if we were in the top 3 , 5 quid in the play offs, and i think they would drag you in off the street if we were any other position. :D
