Respectfully gave him my honest opinion of the coach, club, CFG, next season and our style of play. Was this just a courtesy call from marketing or a personal call from a mate? To get you down to the game - implying you were not going to go? How did he recieve the thoughts - any agreeance or insight in response or tone?

It wasn't a marketing call as such (offered extra tickets to get friends to the game), more so to encourage me to go to the game on Friday and for the finals series. Basically trying to rally people to come watch, but also shows they're feeling the pinch with supporter backlash so it has definitely gone noticed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno cpfc Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 As a former Foundation member i cancelled my season ticket in December along with my wife but my wife still gets notifications from the club just about every week trying to get her back to home games however i on the other hand have not received anything from them since December. I do wonder at times whether they still think that she is still a member, because i could assure them that she was even more fed up than myself with the style of play and the continual coaching cock ups .

Run around my street on a Friday or Saturday trying to find just one person to go, let alone two. But I found it was too late for anyone to change their plans. Kids' sleepovers and birthday parties, something on at the school, babysitter already arranged - all that sort of thing. These days you have to give people plenty of notice for these things.

fensaddler Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I don't think I can be arsed to go. I've been to every match this season bar one I couldn't attend because I was interstate, but I reckon the only thing that will make anyone notice is if I don't rock up. I've finally realised I really don't care anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By every metric, this season has been a catastrophe, but I still dont get the impression that the club are prepared to acknowledge that. My message for the new CEO would be, other than City In The Community, scrap it all and lets develop a new, unified, calculated approach to the way we make our decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, lots of us got calls. From what I deduced, it was a planned strategy. Various staff were given lists of members to call. And yes, it's a tacit acknowledgement by the club that there is a problem, and that they are getting worried about attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a current, full season active member who has been to all but one home match this season, so I assume I wasn't being called because I was viewed as lapsed - rather they wanted to secure the rusted ons like me.
