Over the past 3 weeks I have had cause to visit my GP, face to face and have urgent dental care. My wife has also visited the opticians. Bearing this in mind is there any danger of the ticket office opening any time soon especially as they would be wearing masks and behind a glass screen.
You do realise that there are people who haven’t renewed yet, because of the club only providing one means of paying/renewing.
As Splott Parker pointed out, fans who visit the ticket office, also pop in the club shop spending money.
Money our club seem to need.
Very poor by the club
So not because they can't (because they can, there are multiple ways like I gave examples to) just because they don't want to online, as they'd rather go into the office.
Seems a bit silly to me to be that stubborn.
Must be those OAPs that buy 97.8 percent of the kids shirts. Factual information.
Yes, I hate football. Clearly not a fan because I can think of a reason during covid to use the online option, and can understand why the shop may not be open. Not saying I agree with it being closed, but if the many services unavailable at the moment I think not being able to to go an office to get a season ticket probably doesn't register high on any list big disappointments.
‘During covid’.....What a load of bollocks, the club is a business, the only business in the retail park area that isn’t open for customers (fans) physically visiting, they’re all open, Asda, Costco, Next, Greggs etc. How do you explain the club shop being only open on a Friday & Saturday, not ‘during covid’ on those days is it. Face facts, the club are too mean to pay the staff, it’s a very poor state of affairs.
Can’t blame them not wanting to serve someone going to all those risky places 😂
Come on though put yourself in the clubs shoes I guess the staff are furloughed saving some costs after a horrendous year commercially. They could bring them back and bar a surge in ticket sales short term that and the shop will then burn money until the season kicks off. It’s unlikely they’ll lose many season ticket sales and the shop sales you mention is just delayed revenue to when there’s a point in staffing it
And what they don't spend now they'll spend when it's open. People who were going to get shirts etc will still buy them. Not sure what's hard to grasp here, club doesn't lose revenue (just gets it when people eventually come back to the shop) and people can still get ST online
Anything else now I've covered it all?
You obviously don’t believe in people having different options or a choice of doing things. Believe it or not some people prefer face to face dealing, paying in cash etc, you obviously don’t and I respect your view. And it’s not just OAPs (as you alluded to), I work with a couple of young lads, brothers aged 23 & 18, they haven’t renewed yet because of the online situation, they want to go down and hand it over the counter. It’s very selfish of you crowing because you’ve got your preferred option and more or less ridiculing those who don’t agree. It wouldn’t affect you one iota if the ticket office and shop was open so why moan?
I know some people prefer different things, but as grown ups we learn that those things aren't always available to us.
Choices will be back soon enough, why wouldn't I believe in choices, I want mynl kids to have the option of choices, but even she would understand if I said that for a short period option a isn't available can you try b...
Of course it wouldn't affect me, I'm not the one moaning it's closed, just giving an opinion on why it shouldn't matter as the service is still available.
Its not the same as a vet or doctors being closed is it, like was mentioned in OP. The product is still available.
Hopefully to conclude. I am an old codger but I do have the internet and a smartphone. I have a query that needs to be sorted before I renew my ticket online. They are not answering the phone and the query has not been resolved via email so that is why I wanted to visit the office. I stand by my decision to compare the medical appointments to the ticket office to highlight the absurdity of the situation. Thank you and goodnight. I doubt it.
Like I said to your little brother the TIT, the revenue isn't going nowhere, people will spend it when they come back in. Its not like they're going to bite their nose off to spite their face because the shop isn't open now.. They'll just wait a bit and buy the shirt another time.. Think that's in chapter 16
