Phone Call From Dons?

[Jerel Ifil's Afro]

just had a 5 minute chat with someone from Aberdeen Football Club asking why i am not renewing my season ticket and if there is anything they can improve on.

 

I explained that the standard of football was poor

Prices being raised

Not treating long term supporters with respect

 

I told them tickets should be reduced and that more benefits should be made for fans who have committed themselves over the years, ive been a season holder for 10 years in a row and will not be getting a new season ticket

 

anyonelse get phoned?

You joined on July 4th & named yersel that?

 

No phone call here, just the renewal letter.

[dazzy_deff]

About time they started doing this and getting the opinions of the fans. Marketing department has been horrendous in the past. Bout time they started approaching the old regulars and trying to entice them back.

[fine-n-dandy]

Only one way to entice the old regulars back & that's not just by a few phone calls.

 

Takes a little more ambition

exactly i forgot to ask what they will be doing with the feed back

[Jack_Glass]

Its maybe a sign of a new PR approach and finally a sign that Aberdeen are starting to take the fans seriously since crowds have been dropping. In an ideal world they'd sign us 11 quality players, that would have people everywhere renewing.

Easy that one.

 

Documented & filed under B1N

Smacks of desperation to me.

[mitchattitude]

Yeah I got phoned the other day aswell to see if I wanted to reserve seats I had previously enquired about!.

 

Due to my job i will miss a few home games so I declined but at least they are trying to drum up business now.

 

A few years ago when me and my Dad gave up our tickets (due to my job) we were never asked why we were not renewing...not a good sign for a a business!

[minijc]

I havn't had a call, better get one though.

Half empty

Without a shadow of a doubt the best Aberdeen Football Club related picture I have ever seen in my life. :applause:

[Tommy]

I just got a call and the lad said he's been contacting a lot of people who haven't renewed.

I reckon they've been hit big time and realised too late that taking ST holders for granted

had gone on one season too many.

The ball is now firmly in the club's hands - get the team winning and people will go to the games.

[King Street Loon]

I've not had any phonecall from anyone at AFC.

 

I've not renewed and I don't intend to. It's an offshore ST or pay at the gate for me.

[ollie1903]

Gave up my ST last summer as his football changed from Sunday to Saturday afternoon.

 

Never heard a peep since

[Dynamo]

AFC - if you show some ambition I'll buy a season ticket.

[The Boofon]

AFC - if you show some ambition I'll buy a season ticket.

 

 

So what are you going to spend the money on since it's clear now you definitely won't be buying a season ticket?

[ollie1903]

AFC - if you show some ambition I'll buy a season ticket.

If they show some ambition I'd renew, whether I can get to games or not.

[Betty Swallicks]

Same for lots of us.

 

Its up to the club.

 

I'll not hold my breath.

[Virgin Don]

Correct if the club showed ambition many would renew there season tickets.

 

But considering we can't afford to sign a Icelandic international that used to play in the lower leagues of England suggest the board will not show any ambition.

[Ernie McCracken]

Sounds like the penny has finally dropped!

 

A few other comments from Brown and Duncan Fraser has made me start to think that the club is starting to put some effort into building bridges with the fans.

Like the Aberdeen bypass .... Little .... To late !

[RUL]

Its a re hash of a policy the club had a few years ago, says it all that they even had to ask after the last two seasons, clueless

[OneBeboMaguire]

yeah, 5 mins ago.

 

they're wanting to take me on trial

[uni_don]

They've done this before. I got a call when I left Aberdeen three years ago and didn't renew.

[Sheeptastic]

yeah, 5 mins ago.

 

they're wanting to take me on trial

[Dandyesque]

If I got a phonecall from The Dons, I'd be shitting myself I'd wake up with my cat's head in the bed

[muttondressedaslamb]

Weird, I have't had a season ticket for 10 years I'd say and I think I've been phoned every year asking me if I want one.

[OneBeboMaguire]

versatile across the back four, prolific goalscorer also

Apparently he has been made an offer, it's just upto the player to decide to take it or go for the more lucrative deal down south

I've been a season ticket holder for 30 consecutive years...but have not renewed this season.

 

I've not had a phone call from the fxckers like.

 

Having said that...I don't do answering the phone.

Exactly correct.
