General The Board & Senior Management

[Eric Blair]

Wise words, so that Philosophy seminar was invaluable after all

Worth its weight in gold. Anytime you want a dull cliche I’m your man

 

[Steve Gilbert]

As an aside: do you know if the community coaches still get provided with club branded training gear?

Surely that is a given?!

 

[Steve Gilbert]

If it was me I’d set one up so I could have a chat to @Sarge and a beer with @Scotchegg

I can confirm that @Sarge is a great person to sit having a beer with, especially when he gets talking about his love of music.

I’d imagine if you wanted to speak to @Scotchegg you would have to try and peel him away from the tea lady’s or Sam Long’s family

Lots of welcoming people on this form but @Sarge was the first. We bonded over our hatred of s**t lager.

The last fans forum I felt Tim Williams and co got off incredibly lightly. I came away feeling slightly disappointed that issues weren’t explored in the detail that they ought to have been. Having said that, when the room is full of people looking to probe everything from how the new stadium will be funded to whether anything can be done to ensure the cups of tea being served at half time aren’t too hot, it’s difficult to hammer issues as much as they ought to be.

I recall a fans forum with Firoz Kassam (and I’m tempted to say Brian Talbot) that was ferocious to say the least. To Firoz’s credit (not a sentence I ever thought I’d write), he fielded some very, very awkward questions, sat there and took it.

 

[Stranger]

I think my favourite fans forum was one with Joe Kinnear (there's a joke in 'ere) in which every other word was fukin this, fukin that. David Kemp looked very sheepish and I think Firoz must have been wondering what the fk he'd let himself in for

Or scooters!

The latest club survey has set my teeth on edge. Questions such as this:


"There were a good variety of ticketing product available"
What the hell is that all about?


Why oh why is the standard of literacy so low as to allow this type of nonsense to get through?

Grammatically and literally flawed, it makes little sense.

It's just appalling that the club can allow such a poor level of professionalism into what should be a useful survey. What happened? Who is responsible for proof reading? In the age of AI, spell check, grammar check tools somebody lets this slip through.

There’s about three things wrong with that!

Where do I get this survey?

I'm opted in to receive club emails, but have received nothing. It's as if they don't want my views on ticketing................

A lot of 4/5 and1’s but they were for the cleanliness of the bogs

me too, except Ive not had, nor been invited to take part in, this survey - as yet

Mrs L got the email first then me, she pointed out the, errm, English of that particular question. I gave up at that point as I just found it all too amateurish.

 

[Toe knee]

I got an email about the survey, & I didn't opt in for email's

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I battled through the form, but made sure that I really said what I wanted to (about club communication, Fans Forums etc) in the questions where you could type some free text.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

I've just filled out the survey, took me about 10 minutes and made sure I got all my points across with communication from the club and marketing.

 

[Eaststanding]

"There were a good variety of ticketing product available"

Read that line in the broadest Oxfordshire accent and it makes sense….

 

[Sarge]

mine eventually materialised - filled in the survey

I doubt much notice will be taken of any responses or suggestions

 

[chuckbert]

“a you satisfied with your matchday activation quotient?”

 

[Ewes]

A badly-worded survey not spellchecked by the Comms Team before being issued. The survey has not even been correctly administered - I simply clicked on the survey link above, completed it without providing my name or email address, and yet apparently ‘I’ have been entered into a prize draw upon completion. Looks like someone else will win ‘my’ prize if my survey is selected.

That saying involving the words ‘brewery’ and ‘p1$$ up’ spring to mind. Again.

 

[Ewes]

That’s now illegal. Another rule broken by this tinpot hierarchy.

 

[Ewes]

Did you not put your fan number in?

Nope.

The first item you were asked to complete was your fan number

 

[WokinghamYellow]

The first item you were asked to complete was your fan number

It didn’t ask me, I’m gonna do it again and will likely be harsher now

 

[Sarge]

Did you not put your fan number in?

didnt ask me for mine?

 

[Scotchegg]

didnt ask me for mine?

It wasn't a question that needed an answer so I wonder if some may have double clicked in error and missed this.

 

[Manorlounger]

Was the first question on the survey I completed. The club have asked that you email them if it didnt ask for your fan number.

Apparently, the Twitter/X link did not have the Fan Number requirement. Hence the request to email. Hopefully, now that this has been pointed out, something has been done to correct this error. (along with all the poor English)

However one looks at this, it is yet another stupid mistake and simply shouldn't happen.

 

[Chippy]

i haven’t had email yet, but from reading all the comments are we sure the survey was actually put together by the club and not via an outside agency. Most surveys these days are done by 3rd parties so the club would have every right to expect the wording etc… to be correct.

As I haven’t received mine I obviously don’t know any other details
