Call from the club (1 Viewer)

Bennets Afro · May 24, 2012

Just had a call off the club to see if I'm renewing my season ticket. Got chatting to the guy and he told me:

- 3500 tickets sold so far (1000 up on last year)
- new signings have completed Medicals at ryton
- accounts got submitted a couple of weeks ago and are just waiting for the embargo to be lifted

Could be complete bs tho, just to get me to renew which I did btw

ccfcjohn · May 24, 2012

mind if i ask who at the club this was?

they are very bold statements to be making without factual evidence to back them up!!!

Nick · May 24, 2012

I'd get a name and a guarantee!

WillieStanley · May 24, 2012

Glad to see you've renewed!! Surely they can't make those statements unles they're actually true. Surely not. Can they?

tippex9 · May 24, 2012

When I went in to move my seat last week, it was the first day after they no longer hold seats from the following season. They called the guy whos seat I was taking to make sure he didn't want it.

He didn't answer, I win!!!! Lol

Bennets Afro · May 24, 2012

The guys name was jamie

skybluesteve76 · May 24, 2012

It's always Jamie! He told me the same about transfers etc! Obviously spiel!?

We'll_live_and_die · May 24, 2012

I've emailed the club to find out. n.b. it may take up to 48 hours to get a response.

ccfcjohn · May 24, 2012

Rich - nice one, keep us posted. if not true, surely they can't be saying things like that just to increase ticket sales!!!

WillieStanley · May 24, 2012

The signings are a given. We're always promised signings. It's the stuff about the accounts that doesn't ring true. That's massive news!!

We'll_live_and_die · May 24, 2012

Exactly, if they respond in writing then it's gotta be true. Lets wait and see.

Ashdown · May 24, 2012

I don't believe one notch of the original post, The clubs marketing are being primed to say what people want to hear. I was given all the same lies this time last year. SISU are just trying to recoup ST money that they have borrowed and spent against already.

SkyBlueM · May 24, 2012

Would be nice if true but just sounds like a sales pitch to me.

Nonleagueherewecome · May 24, 2012

Yeah, we might as well just call off the club:-it isn't really working, is it?

last one definitely isn't true. I spoke to someone who works at the club on Monday and they said the accounts aren't signed off/submitted yet because of the funding issue.

First one defo is true. No idea on the 2nd.

Brighton Sky Blue · May 24, 2012

Best people to ask are the Football League-they'll quickly resolve the accounts question.

Bennets Afro · May 24, 2012

Only passing on what I was told. I'm as skeptical as everyone.
I never said we signed anyone just players were having medicals presumably for when the embargo is lifted

Hugh Jarse · May 24, 2012

Sounds like Corporate bollocks to me, and desperate Corporate bollocks at that!

So the guy who hawks season ticket sales knows this and no-one else at the club does, I think not. Take it as read that this is tosh of the first order and you make up your mind when/if you buy a season ticket. My guess is, turn up well in advance with a set of boots and you could end up getting a game so don't worry about a specific seat.

mark82 · May 24, 2012

My guess is they will be on commission. That will be something the club would not authorise him to say. My guess is that he knows it is what people want to hear so he is using it to get more sales and more commission for himself.

kepit 2 yusen · May 24, 2012

i wouldnt put it past Sisu to try any underhand tactic that the can find to fill their pockets, such is their credibility and reputation.

So much for transparency then, (if true) - why not disclose this info, (if true) last week, nothing would have been lost, (if true) by doing this.

Sub · May 24, 2012

can the FA be asked via email if we still have an embargo against us ? or is it something they will only talk about with the club ??

oldskyblue58 · May 24, 2012

This may help ....... FL policy is not to disclose

If you go to buy a ticket online it shows you what seats are not sold so if you really wanted to you could work it out from there. I have nothing against people that are buying a season ticket but I really can't understand how we're selling more than last year!

Il Pirata · May 24, 2012

Could be bs? Under Sisu? Come on, that is a bit of a leap, don't you think?

dongonzalos · May 24, 2012

So whilst they are getting pelters for not been open and honest about arvo. Also that the club are again on the verge of admin.

Behind the scenes they have signed new players who are just having medicals. We have budget. Books are submitted. Just waiting for embargo to be lifted.

However sisu been sisu we don't blow our own trumpet about making new signings till the deal is done. They quite professional about stuff like that.

I think it is all true also that keogh and crainie have extended their contracts. But they are keeping that one quite aswell.

Some needs to have a quite word with Jamie. Or a couple of words fraud by false repensentation

No wonder sales are up

SkyBlue_Bear83 · May 24, 2012

Complete bull shit imo, not the OP but who ever told him that info. Signings have already passed medicals and accounts submitted, utter tosh I reckon. Surely they can't be allowed to say these kind of things.

shmmeee · May 24, 2012

Yeah Jamie sold me my ST with a written promise of a refund if I wasn't happy by the first game.

Nice enough guy but would say anything for a sale.

SkyBlueBlood · May 24, 2012

What doesn't ring true is that unless the whole of the Football League are on holiday, the embargo would have been lifted the day after the accounts were received if not the same day. Then Fisher would have been straight out with an announcement as it would be positive news.

You are dead right it is ilegal to sell products under false pretence. This is a job for the CET phone up and see what they are saying.

The club get sadder and sadder they are now sounding like the dodgy utilities doorstep sellers promising that you will get a great deal and you end up paying more for the same service:slap:

JFOX4 · May 24, 2012

This is my first post today as just signed up and wanted to post that the accounts haven't been filed I have checked this on the companies house web site and if they were submitted 2 weeks ago there web site is updated the next day. Still overdue at today's date.

SkyBlueScottie · May 24, 2012

Whats your second post going to be, killjoy woz ere?
