Trust..CCFC big row brewing

[William Treseder]

Fair play, I haven’t heard the football club / cinema analogy in almost a decade. Who was it making that comparison back in 2012? Ah, yes, I remember….

It’s true though. Don’t tell me an intelligent guy like you ever though you were anything else other than a customer?

[The Lone Gunman]

It’s true though.

It’s not true at all. It’s absolute nonsense. Football supporters are not even close to being on a par with cinema goers.

Nobody ‘supports’ a cinema. Nobody travels all over the country (or Europe) supporting their local cinema while it competes with rival cinemas. Nobody buys cinema merchandise. Nobody joins a cinema supporters club. Nobody wears a replica cinema shirt. There are no cinema league tables, no cinema championships, no cinema play-offs, no cinema cup competitions. Nobody cares who manages a cinema or who works in a cinema. Nobody debates the merits or otherwise of cinemas on tv shows, radio shows, websites, podcasts, in newspapers, in magazines, in fanzines, etc, etc, etc.

Don’t tell me an intelligent guy like you ever really thought that football supporters are just like cinema goers?

You’re right to suggest that Cardiff City supporters are considered to be no more than customers by the current regime, but that’s certainly not been the case throughout the club’s history and it’s not the case at most professional football clubs either.

Supporting a football (other sports too) club is definitely a unique situation.

Cricket supporters , aren’t anything like football supporters though and it’s a sport I prefer over football. I wouldn’t have a clue how much a Glamorgan player earns or how much Ben Stokes gets ( I could look it up) so I guess I would be just a customer to the ECB or GCCC.

You haven’t seen the banners or heard the chanting at England cricket matches then? The emails I get from Glammy are very customer orientated also.

Yes , been to numerous test matches and Lords. Just felt like a customer and was just interested in the result (and the weather ) not the finances , the wages of the players etc. I think that’s how it should be

Glamorgan do communicate well through emails but they don’t have a ticket office as such anymore neither do the ECB.
Everything is done virtually even away trips (ECB). It appears the club are following that pathway.

The ECB treat supporters of county cricket with utter contempt.
