andyswann2007 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Ouch. A game planned weeks (months?) away has moved by a day. And still, it's such a dull, meaningless game that will be watched by so few people. Who gives a feck? Quote
ged62 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Is 4 weeks really that short a notice period? Yes when the season fixtures were planned last year. Quote
waldorf34 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 In any other industry that valued its customers you woupd at least get an explanation behind the change and an apology if it disrupted your travel plans Come on Brian Caldwell , get you finger out Quote

saint in exile Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Ouch. A game planned weeks (months?) away has moved by a day. And still, it's such a dull, meaningless game that will be watched by so few people. Who gives a feck? Actually, I give a f*ck. I had booked a flight to come over and now I've had to change it. That's cost me even more money to come and watch this dull, meaningless game. I book in advance to try to get a reasonably priced flight, so changes of this sort (and there have been a few, although usually for the telly) cause me problems. Quote

Hambud Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) SPS... that's why I waited as long as possible before eventually confirming the staff training just two weeks ago. Is there any reason the game couldn't have been moved earlier if it was always on the cards? Could you not drag all the staff along as a team bonding/building night, you could say you are going to see two different teams, one will be a performing team and one will be a non-performing team, and let them tell you which one is which, I'll guess the performing teams name will begin with Saint. After the game you can then go to the nearest meeting room (probably a pub at that time) and discuss your observations of each team. You get to watch the football, your staff get a great (ok I might have taken that bit too far) insight into a performing/non-performing team and Saints manage to sell a few more tickets, win win.

beyond our ken Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 The home match v St Johnstone has been brought forward by 24 hours and will now be on Tuesday 25th March. Feckin typical... I arranged staff training for the Tuesday night as we had a match on the Wednesday... now the match has meen moved and I can't make it. Yet another match I am forced to miss after a late change to tbe advertised fixture. yay-bonus day. i can go Quote

Genius idea but It is first aid training. They would all need first aid after being subjected to us without prior experience! !! Quote

Miss a game coz your skint / working/ ill / babysitting /etc is fair enough but to watch another team on telly ??? what about "potential" customers / fans for the night? Surely a few neutrals could be enticed if the conditions were right? I've been to Firhill twice this season due to sensible pricing at their ground when unable to get to a Saints game. There may well be a few neutrals put off... but let's not be open minded! Quote

I really dont see many "potential customers" willing to turn up on a cold (probably wet) march midweek to watch Saints . As for the right conditions ? IF we were riding high & playing well with pricing or ticket promos to entice them then perhaps yes. But how many neutrals are willing to freeze their balls off to watch poor football & pay £20 for the privelage ?................. Especially if they read this forum first !! Quote
