dennyc Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Well said Leeann and thanks for taking the time to respond to the moaners. Like other posters I have travelled to a number away games on the club Charter and to some under my own steam.....on this occasion I am travelling from Newcastle and staying four days. I have always felt the Charter was good value for money and the only reason I travel independently from time to time is to spend a little more time in the places we visit. Each supporter who travels will have different needs and the club cannot cover them all. The fact that you do anything at all places you ahead of many other clubs. It's encouraging that you and others at the club continue to listen to what the fans say and of course there are valid points you can pick up on...........OAP concessions at home Europa games for instance. I wonder how many times Executives of the so called bigger clubs take time out to read and respond to forums such as this. Or how many club owners would even think of taking the time to join supporters (Non Charter) for a pint and a chat as John Boyle did in Norway. However you will NEVER please everyone no matter how hard you try so try not to get too frustrated. I am sure most fair minded fans will agree with me that you are doing a fantastic job in what is a exceptionally difficult for the cub financially. Keep up the good work and keep taking the tablets.

mjw Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Now the chief exec has come on here and defended the charter price(an issue most people don't really care about) can we have a defence of the clubs shocking decision to charge oaps full price admission?

shooter Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I think we need to have a bit or perspective here... There may be only half a dozen people on here complaining about the charter, and as I mentioned in a earlier post their complaints were unreasonable because nobody at that time actually knew how much the plane cost. Now that issue has been cleared up, I dont think anybody can have a valid reason to complain about the charter costs anymore... I suppose its in some peoples nature to moan about everything, but they are all entitled to their opinions, we may not agree with them but remember it is their right to express them...

Special aka Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 can't wait to hear their reaction to £32 for rice and noodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUNKspex Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Can someone please explain why oap should be entitled to a discount. They have probably paid off their mortgage and are on benefit to help with cost of household bills. Compare this to say a young couple with new mortgage and new baby their disposable income is a lot less. I always find this a strange quirk of our society that pensioners feel that everything should be discounted. HELMET ON FIRMLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonwellfan Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Well considering they have been paying in to Motherwell for squillions of years! Do you not think it is fair to reward them for their loyalty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 You don't deserve an explanation he's not that wrong. there's people that are 65 now that will have been born into the nhs era, took advantage of every benefit and have retired before the retirement age gets moved. they'll have made a fortune of house prices as well. they probably don't support motherwell though.
