Think that entitles him to an opinion as much as the supporters. How much abuse can you expect a person to take before he dishes it back, Chairman or not. Agree, however this gives the press ample ammunition if they get to see this, a owner of a club abusing fans, that would go down a treat in the papers, not what a club like us needs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be more worried if the press saw the page and realised how fucking thick some of our supporters are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. He should realise he is never going to be able to reason with the weapons anyway. Just leave them in their sandbox on the SRE. You could see a tabloid spinning that pretty easily into a story. Edited October 5, 2019 by Trogdor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like pride is it not, seeing the same folk accuse you over and over of not having the best interests of the club at heart, and implying one way or the other of rinsing the club of cash.

Trogdor Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 One final point from me, its also classic divide and conquer which he has also been pretty good at since he has been Chairman. Granted our support is quite disparate anyway so we don't speak with one voice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Some of our supporters are rockets but Cameron comes across as a twat when he replies back to them in such a condescending manner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hedge and say probably not. I guess it'll be extremes - there are some with competing trusts and associations of supporters. Some that are fan owned where I guess they speak with close to one voice? Then clubs like us where our support is too apathetic or busy fighting ourselves to organise anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that comes with the territory though. Whilst some will spout clueless abuse others will spout clueless praise. As mentioned before it’s probably best not to engage on open forums with abusive fans. If that’s the level of professionalism shown by the chairman of a senior football club then what should we really expect of the ‘vocal’ fans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Facebook is really shitty with screenshots on desktop That's wild. Cameron comes across as far, far worse than the other guy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that context is lost. From the outside, it looks like a fan makes a 'reasonable' point and gets abused by the Chairman. As I said another PR disaster. Whoever the adult on the board is (Mark Pettigrew?) do us all a favour and stop Lachlan shooting from the hip on social media. It is embarassing in the extreme, only slightly less so than the behaviour of roasters in our support on the SRE. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most clubs have these type of eejit supporters but for the chairman to be on Facebook calling them a "dick" seems wildly OTT and unprofessional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree and it usually starts when he does live Q&As and calls people out on nonsense albeit that’s the first time he’s ever used bad language. IMO he shouldn’t go on that page but as he says elsewhere he would be accused of not engaging with supporters and doing so is tricky when he lives in America. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not tricky at all, he could do a Q&A with the Aumedia guys with fans submitting questions. The difference being he would have to cede control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Can I add again that the length of the queue for tickets at 2:50/3:00 was fucking awful. I thought we would have this down to a fine art but that's just really shite for folk. Yes plenty of folk get their ticket in advance but plenty of folk do not and we're making it really, really difficult for those fans. I expected to see someone in charge directing things but the two stewards were completely useless. Why is the queue not being broken up and split to make it quicker? What's the deal with the portable sales points? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
