O'Kelly Isley III Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Has anything else been said anywhere about increasing seating at the ground? Well yes actually, the wummin on the Morrison's fish counter says it's all but dead in the water, apparently there are simply too many problems and too little financial return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the auld son Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Funnily enough, I called this morning to renew my season ticket. Phone answered by Mr Lawrie in a very dour and unprofessional manner, asked rather abruptly if I had filled out my renewal form and when I told him I hadn't I was told "you won't be renewing today then" in a rather condesending manner. That'll be that then. Gave the impression he was being inconveniedand overall a pretty poor experience from a sales perspective Now, as a long time season ticket holder I'll renew later this week, but I'd be surprised if that sort of response to a sales enquiry didn't put others off. Not the first time the club have fell short on basic customer service. You may not believe this but ask Findo A few years ago , our last home game before Christmas , and the shop was shut I asked Stevie who was trust rep on the board at the time why it was not open on potentially the busiest day of the year He replied they ( beardie and the big cheery chap) don't know how to use the credit card machine , and he asked if I would do . I said certainly not , show the feckers up for what they are !!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I may be way off the mark here but dont Gilbert and co earn a decent wage from the club? If so then is there actually any need for a receptionist? What else is there to do midweek on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday? It surely can't be that hard handing out some season ticket renewals and answering the phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elephant In The Rock Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hamilton have let Kevin Cuthbert go, used to live Greenock way I'm sure. Would be a good signing if we could pull it off although I'm sure a FT club or two will be looking at him.He looks too much like Jamie Ewings. The fans will be outraged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surely can't be that hard handing out some season ticket renewals and answering the phone. It had been mentioned before that Gilbert takes a very good wage but I don't know how much of that is true. You do have to ask yourself though, if it's true, what does he actually do? "Be at the stadium everyday" seems to be the only activity he carries out. Perhaps I'm being harsh but I reckon we could do without a full time Chief Executive taking a handy wage from the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Fair play if he's getting a big salary (which he is), because it must cost a fortune to maintain that beard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then you are perhaps being a bit harsh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) The receptionist is full time is she not? Fair enough she's not there just now but I was only asking what he does as I genuinely don't know. In any case, does a part time club really need a full time CE?

If not then you are perhaps being a bit harsh[/quoteThe stadium is only open 3 days a week (minus a Saturday during the season of course). Any time I've been down both Gilbert and the receptionist have been present. I have no doubt he must do some behind the scenes work but is there any need for both being there? Especially if both are collecting a full time wage. No disrespect to the receptionist by the way, she's always extremely pleasant and seems to do a good job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu20vt Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) You worried boys? What from Cowden this coming season?? Nah not at all...... To be fair this is the worst scenario, I really thought Hibs would hang on to Butcher at least for the first half of the season..

The Moonster Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Aye, if they ask for him he'll go. I suppose if he does go a new manager has the basis of a good squad and some budget to play with. Petrie is a muppet though so it wouldn't be surprising if he was overlooked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrie is a muppet though so it wouldn't be surprising if he was overlooked. Do you think he would definitely go? He would be on a hiding to nothing. Fail to go up and they would sack him. Could finish his career before it's even started. Stay with us and even if we ended up going down it probably wouldn't do him too much harm in the long run 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
